Praying for all guys who struggle with porn. I fell back into it man I hate it… please pray for me
The trans agenda runs deeper than anyone realizes. Most of those gorgeous "women" are just dudes with great surgeons. Free porn isn't really free, you're paying mentally, spiritually, and physically. Right before I found Jesus Christ, and recently learned about skeletal anatomy & satan's Biblical trans agenda, I looked through celebrity porn videos, as well as just regular porn. I was so disturbed with the amount of secret men with convincing looking "vaginas" I gave it all up. satan is the master of deception, my brother. Sin is used by demons as a resource as well, so sin is just helping them out in the end.
My advice is to try and find the pattern that's leading you into sin, for example: if you recently decided to drive using a new shortcut to work, but that road just so happens to drive you by a strip club, which puts thoughts in your mind that later lead to sin; maybe deciding to stop using that shortcut will help break that pattern. Maybe if you think about what leads you to that sin, you can think of what you need to cut out of your life, even if it results in you missing out on something. I know of a man who ended up throwing his TV out of his window because of his porn problem. The Bible says that if your eye offends you/causes sin, cut it out. I also suggest firmly rebuking and casting out the spirits of lust and masturbation the second that you get an intrusive thought or feeling. Immediately cast them out using the authority Christ gave you, pray heavily for Jesus Christ to give you self control, and read/listen to The Bible. Focus on what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you, and how dangerous sin truly is. Make sure to get baptized in water, or baptize yourself, if you haven't already. I hope some of this helped. I'm praying for you, my precious brother. God bless you in Jesus' name
Praying for you. 🙏🏽 Pray for me also, that I won't be curious about ungodly things anymore!
Curiosity was always my problem when it comes to sin.. I find myself curious about something I heard or something others are doing, and I tell you the truth: curiosity surely will k'll the cat.
Glory to Jesus for saving my soul. 🙌🏾
praying for you! Also, make sure you tell brothers around you, or your pastor - to be a branch of accountability!
@@spiritualisrael007 exactly being curious about others are doing, most especially sin, that's why it's good to be familiar with bible on all situations, the bible has all the help to handle them. A very good example 👇
Luke 10:41
But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
@@Identityinchrist_ Great scripture! Thanks for sharing with me. ❤️
My testimony: After being an atheist for 8+ years, and "married" to another female, I got the urge one day to say out loud "IF there is an Almighty God that does NOT wish us pain or sorrow, please bring me truth, I wish to know you exist". Then God immediately started bringing me the answers I had been searching 8-11 YEARS for! I witnessed Him take control of my internet and the rest of my reality; He first proved to me that demons exist (I called them "inter-dimensional beings"), then He proved His own existence, which I later found to be Jesus Christ. As soon as I found Jesus at the end of 2020, He IMMEDIATELY took away my transgenderism, bisexuality, depression, daily suicide attempts, self harm, bulimia and anorexia; and He did this all without me asking Him to, because THAT'S how merciful and loving He is! Praise God!
That is so awesome! Your testimony is truly miraculous. My story has definitely been more of a process, but God is providing me with His freedom more and more every day!! 🙌
Glory to God!! 🙌🏾 Yes. God truly answers prayers. I try to witness to others by telling them to just say a sincere prayer, and God will reveal Himself.
I was never really an unbeliever per se, but I have committed a lot of sin in my youth and noticed the consequences of those sins.... I also had a lot of questions for God. I would asked God things like, "How do I know the Bible is truly the word of God?" I was amazed when God started proving to me that the Bible is 100% true. Now, I have solid faith that no one can break.
God bless you, sister. 🙏🏽 People like you can reach other atheists better than I can because you have been saved out of atheism. Thanks for sharing your testimony! We will meet in Heaven someday. ❤️ Glory to Jesus! ✝️
Praise God indeed! Thanks for sharing! God bless!
@@abbykittle5058 Praise The Lord! God bless you in Jesus' name🕊
@@spiritualisrael007 Amen! Jesus Christ is so faithful and understanding. It bIows my mind how much He truly loves us and goes out of His way for us, even while we sin. God bless you in Jesus' name❤
When I was struggling with addiction to porn and struggling with lust, a spiritually mature friend of mine whom I confided in gave me this advice: Don't try to force yourself to not lust or watch porn, but think of how you're hurting God by effectively cheating on him by doing those things... That really convicted me and was the point from where I finally started to kill my porn addiction and lust issues.
Your desire to love God and not sin against him should be what motivates you to turn from sexual sins, not brute force or willpower.
Very well put! I've always felt, when looking for a partner, the most important quality to look for is someone who fears God. B/c the desire to please your spouse isn't strong enough to prevent infidelity alone, but when coupled with the desire to please God, it's a powerful prevention from displeasing him through adultery.
I can have that same love for a partner. When your saying to not displease God, its really yourself your doing it for. We never needed something else to to do something for. If you love yourself, you’d stop. because since god of the bible does not exist, once someone loses that belief then it ruins everything it stood for. So once someone does it for themselves then it will stay.
@@knowpain743 God is real. There are many sins besides sexual immoralilty that people do. It's by the power of God that we overcome those sins. There are people who can overcome lust through will power but that willpower can only get them so far in life. Whether we like to hear it or not we humans make mistakes. However has never made a mistake. Why should trust ourselves when we can trust the one who created us and is perfect in all manner. I pray you repent and have faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. God bless you and your family and your loved ones in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen❤️🙏🏾
Brute force or willpower won't work anyway because that's from you. Only with God are you able to conquer it.
You can't hurt God by sinning. This is a false view of God and no basis for fighting sin.
My story: I'm 17. Was born again at 14 after years of terrible home life, and also experiencing sexual trauma before I was even 5. Started out very passionate for the Lord, but I have and still do struggle with lust and porn use to this day. I literally just fell into temptation a couple hours ago. I have accountability and filters, but I'm working on the root of the issue: my heart. Pray for me and my continued journey please. Even with things like filters and accountability apps, it's difficult. I do what I hate and don't do what I wanna do (as Paul says). Thanks for your content Issac, it's a blessing!
To overcome pornography and masturbation
What I will tell u is not easy but can be done and I have done it but missed a step (immune building)
The saying 'without sacrifice there can be no victory' explains it all
Until u get to a point where u sacrifice so much u will never experience victory........
I know ppl who dropped their phone for three months and went into bible study mode and prayer during that time.....
The goal is simply to accumulate more spiritual strength while also decreasing and cutting off the sources not with blockers or filter but completely......
I know a lot of ppl will feel like it is just not possible they work with their phone but u hv to ask urself do u really work with ur phone or device.....if u do get a system(laptop) and use it when u r around ppl
The wider the screen the lesser it is to hide it and the easier u win......
Also move out from being alone...by doing this u are not just fighting temptation but also preventing it...
Be a bug to ppl that is anything u want to do do it around ppl
Their are steps you take that will fight temptation and others u will take that will prevent it....
The goals is by cutting ur access (ie using a flip phone or non internet access phone) and not being alone at most 99% of the day u are preventing temptation and by studying ur bible, praying, being with Believers, listening to gospel songs and messages u are building an atmosphere that when a temptation slips through will be attacked (basically an immune system)
The Bible is not just to be hidden in ur heart it is to be confessed on a daily basis to a point it becomes a reflex action, to a point u joke about things in the Bible
Also a true message or Gospel music is still God's word just a different form....
A lot of ppl are addicted to the dopamine rush and have a feeling of lack of motivation so they are unable to fight or cut off the device completely give urself a week from ur main phone and after sometime (a week) u will regain ur motivation and be able to think clearly to push on with the immune system building
I also know that ppl think masturbation is worse than porn surprisingly it isn't becos they are the same [physical manifestation of lust within ur heart but the fear to do the work to act out those desires with a person or said is masturbation] by doing what I said u would be free overtime as long as access is cut and immune system (Foundation) is built u will be able to overcome. Psalms 11: 3
Without an immune system/foundation even if u cut access and go back it will repeat itself
If u cut access for six months to a year and study with God then u will have a stronger immune system to overcome the desires and temptation when u pick ur phone again....
But u may end up being so productive that u may not want even go back😂
But it all starts from without sacrifice there can be no victory........
Is being destroyed by porn and masturbation worth it.....
Personally after three years porn and masturbation I can see clearly the path it is taking me, that is to a point where I will be destroyed and lose all feeling for women but it is now or never the sacrifice is made and the immune system is built
Also eat well, gym and other stuff but if u fail to do the cutting off and building immune system u will forever remain an addict
Lust will never stop until it destroys u take it from me
Lastly : U can use Blocker hero app for ur system or tablet or phone but just don't read the reviews pay a chicken change for it and it will help u...... remember the wider the screen the weaker it be.........
When not alone u are stronger and if u u still hv access to porn the immune system can't be built thoroughly.
When not alone u are stronger and by doing so temptation is prevented..... More strength
If u want u can have an accountability partner but when there is nothing to account for since u don't use ur laptop alone or use a phone but just a flip phone or dumb phone u no longer account for stuff but talk about ur wins
Also be an advocate against porn the more u are an outspoken fighter against it the more it becomes weak and it's strong hold is loosened and u
Talk to ur friend against it speak out against it.......sure ur not perfect or ur mind is not healed when u tell them it doesn't make u a hypocrite bcos u r actually sacrificing a lot to complete the journey and even when the journey is complete never forget God keep building on the foundation.......
Also it is possible to hear from God trust me I have when I wanted to disturb my friend that reads the Bible everyday a word deep in my spirit (why must u interfere with my time with my daughter) That changed everything for me
It gave me the assurance that if I walk with God he will speak to me
Also stop searching for new videos of how to overcome lust, porn and masturbation by doing that u are giving ur mind the thought that it is not working even do it is not instant it is a journey and overtime it will work
More love ppl
Just think of god and his love and how good he is
Luke 18:27 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
❤ Luke 18:27 ❤
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”🙂
Same here! I went through hard times when I was a child, i grew up thinking that hating and punishing myself was the only way to forget what happened to me. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% healed, I hate myself for stumbling every single week and I'm literally hanging by a thread...
Big things start from small, so don’t underestimate even the smallest lust, just squash it before it has a chance to grow.
It's a perfectly normal biological response. But, like all things, it can spiral and manifest into something unhealthy.
Food, sex, video games, even work and study... all of these things can become unhealthy.
No demons are necessary to explain this. Neurology alone will suffice.
@@Joshua-dc1bs but you are opening doors to demons so they could hold you captive to the unhealthy ways of living in other words to the ways of living in sin. Us humans thinking that demons or the devil is not involved, that’s exactly what they want us to believe, so that we can accuse and shame ourselves instead of repenting and going back to our savior Jesus Christ our lord. The devil doesn’t want us humans to be saved so he tries all possible ways he can deceive us into thinking there’s no way out but Jesus Christ comes in if you let Him and He will say “I died for that sin” and pulls you out of that darkness and into His light.
@@cometojesuschrist8665 "demons" is just a metaphorical anthropomorphisation of inner conflicts that we all experience. We all have "inner demons" to deal with.
To suggest that there's a parallel dimension with red-skinned half-goat-half-human entities is just childish. It has about as much explanatory power as pixie dust.
Dopamine reward systems in the brain alone is sufficient for explaining addictions of any kind. Invisible entities do not.
@@Joshua-dc1bs If you believe there is God, then God is spirit and angels are spirits and there is an apposition to God and that is the devil and his followers which were angels of God at some point but rebelled against God and were kicked out of heaven. If you deny the existence of the devil and demons and that means you don’t believe there is God, A person that’s says there is no God is foolish.
@@Joshua-dc1bs we fight our fleshly evil desires that’s one thing and we fight the influences and temptation of the devil which his ultimate desire is to make us fall and sin and kill us in our sins so that we might join him in the lake that burns with fire forever.
This lust sin destroys women too! I continually fight to change my mind in Christ to turn away from sin. I hate that I can’t say that I never ever have struggled or fell in this area again! But one thing I can truly say and once I stared
To run to Jesus and ask him for his help, he never FAILS! I’ve failed but He never has! Always be quick to repent and ask the Lord to give you the grace to overcome this! It’s an upward battle but I promise WE have the victory in Jesus!😊
.... Hot, so hot.
Lust is such a powerful feeling in me. I don’t watch pornography every day, it is only during times of stress or loneliness, but when I give into one video, I go on a binge. And afterward I feel disgusted with myself and pray for forgiveness from The Lord, with the hope that I can begin a new, but after a week or a month I eventually fall into the same sin.
Best way is to put it out of your mind, focus on other things that are fruitful. We are men also with desires, and that is also a normal thing to have.
I could've written this, sounds exactly like my struggle, though lately I've been better. Try focusing on that feeling of disgust when you're tempted and that the only way to avoid it is to not give in.
@@BT-be8rh agreed, i just see it as a weakness or waist of my time, two things i cant tolerate
@@nemesis_333 thank you brother
this describes my struggle as well. What Jesus put on my heart is that sexual relations are to be consummated in a loving relationship…if lust without love then the carnal man which is being transformed is merely being reinforced. Love first. So, lust usually means there is no loving relationship in place, and thus lust becomes your escape…the irony though is that the more you escape into lust, the more you escape from love….and without love you will never have a truly long term integral relationship with a partner.
So, whenever you are tempted by lust, remember that lust is only slowing down your ability to find real love, and enjoy your sexuality within the context of a Godly loving relationship.
Work on redirecting, so you can find your partner…typically an incredible partner awaits you on the other side of lust
Lust lurks behind your thoughts and it’s tiny at first and it keeps knocking and instead of killing it and lock the door, we tend to just say, naaaa it’s nothing we leave the door open just a little and that little lust that lurked outside the door and was knocking slips in and starts to work in you and now that it’s in the house of your thoughts and you start to feed it little by little and as it grows it becomes stronger and controls your thought process now that your guard is down and seems harmless to a point where you obey the lust and become under the authority of that lust.
well said
He was right, lust builds over time, not just a single trigger. I try to cut it off before I go too far but sometimes the sin gets me.
Even i get lost there in Lust everytime. I feel its a most difficult Sin to avoid. I had masturbation addiction But now i have decided to mastrubate or watch Bold Movies(Not Porn) only once in 15 days and Not to Consume anything lustful in between those days. I dont know If its right thing to do. But i felt this effective.
Yeah never flirt with lust it always wins no matter how small it is
I've struggled with lust, porn, and possibly transgenderism since I was 10 years old. It all started with me feeling like there was something wrong with me. In school, the girls were treated way better than the boys in my eyes. My parents also wanted a girl, but I came along instead. I started crossdressing in my mom's clothes and wearing her makeup, and I found that I had liked it. After a long while of doing that, I started feeling very confused. I was wanting to be a girl, but I also liked girls and not boys. A few google searches later, that was how I was introduced to lesbian Pornography at 10 years old. For years I was addicted to Pornography, crossdressing, wishing was born a female, and feeling so alone. Then one day in high school, I found a girl who was interested in me. I couldn't believe someone actually liked me, so we ended up getting together and dated for almost 2 years. During that time, I didn't have any thoughts of wanting to be a female, and I didn't have the desire to watch porn. But I fell into a new trap. She was obsessed with wanted s*x, but I wanted to wait until marriage. Eventually, I gave in because I didn't want to lose her. About a year or so later, we started going to church and felt super convicted, so I asked her if we could stop and wait until marriage. She reluctantly agreed, andthene refused to have anything to do with me for the next three months before breaking up with me the day after Christmas. I was completely devastated and heartbroken. I went back to my old ways of porn, crossdressing, and fantasizing about being a female. To this day I still struggle with them, but I also have a deep desire to be a husband and a father. Now it feels like a constant war in my head, but I feel so much shame in talking about it because I know this is a very fierce subject. I'm not entirely sure why I'm writing all of this here but maybe whoever reads this will pray for me. I want to be free and live for God. I want to stop being confused and be sure of my identity in Christ. I want these chains and burdens to finally leave me.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Thank you for sharing. I will be praying for you 🙏🏾
Wow. That was so courageous of you to share. Keep seeking God and asking Him to fill you with more of Him. He made you the way you are for a reason, even if your feelings tell you otherwise. I understand the whole issue of lust and pornography since I've struggled with all that. I feel for you and will be lifting you up! 🙏
You are soooo brave!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾 I can relate to wanting to be the opposite sex because that's what your parents wanted....but...you're attracted to the opposite sex. I always had supreme masculine energy although I liked girly things as well. I was introduced to "soft porn" around 6 years old and it grew from one perverted thing to another. I AM extremely intentional with what I watch, listen to, say and most importantly think. Words have sooo much power so use them wisely and to speak ONLY what you want. Continue to ASK OUR FATHER to lead and guide you. HE will. His ways are sooooo perfect....he's helping me, you, you , you, you, you!!!!!! The more I call on HIM...the better I feel!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾I'm definitely praying for you. Remember: I AM ______. Anything you add on the line...you add to yourself. ONLY ADD good things to I AM. I AM is GOD. GOD is all things lovely, just and of a good report. Unlearn everything negative that you want to add to the line....🗣🗣🗣those are the LIESSSSS!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💝💝💝
Have you ever considered fasting and praying? If you want to break the chains and the strongholds of your issue then I suggest you fast and pray. Don't overthink it just do it! Drink water only for 24 hours. You can do anything for 24 hours! Listen to worship music, get on your knees and/or face before God, read the Bible, and I promise you, you'll slowly begin to break the chains of this long suffering. I'll be praying for you. God bless you. Peace of Christ. ✝️
Praying for you Robert, fir God to send a a wife who loves and sees your inner self.
It’s so heartbreaking to me how many men struggle with porn addiction, and how much it’s shoved in their face
How come you didn’t say women? Wouldn’t that be more heartbreaking because it’s true? Lol
@@aheartonfire7191 I was just talking about men cuz that’s who I was thinking of at the time of commenting. Don’t over think it
Yes, the statistics are sad. The
World almost constantly bombards us with stuff whether it be tv, movies dressing etc.
@AHeartOnFire, what's sad about women is they willingly engage in creating porn because they get paid upwards of 10k per scene on top of getting all other expenses paid for like flights and diems at expensive resorts. And they get famous for it. I've heard from so many women that girls are coerced and forced to do porn. It's the opposite. Thousands of women every day willfully sign up to make pornography for fame and money and it's all possible because they prey on men's vulnerability.
@@smokingcrab2290 it’s much more likely the women are being trafficked. You shouldn’t be so hateful. We are all negatively affected by this corrupt culture. If they had good fathers, they’d never wind up in those situations in the first place.
Man your timing is unreal
Truly.
God's timing, brother 🙏
@@ivnmrtinz exactly
Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under Heaven given among Men by which we must be saved". AMEN y'all. Don't give up brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you all. I really appreciate the great work in Christian ministry/Apologetics that this ministry does for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep uploading these videos dude this channel does great Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content 🙏❤️. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Thanks to the Most High😌
I saw a video that explains that we are told to flee from sexual temptations rather than resist. I thought about it for a while to see not the root of the problem but the root of what is missing. Why do I keep falling? I found this to be difficult but what I think it's what I lack in the moments I am tempted. In those moments I know I lack the courage to tell my flesh no. Now I have written this down on a board in my room: "Find & take courage to tell yourself no."
This isn't to say that is what everyone else lacks or the root of the problem is. I can tell you now the the ground we need before we can overcome is a relationship with Christ. Find the humility to allow yourself to first come to him if you are struggling and accept that you are. He doesn't want you to come to him perfect. He just wants to know you and help you grow closer and closer to Him. It is possible but it takes more than a trick of the mind to completely overcome it.
If the answer is to flee then I literally cannot live in society with women because hot girls walking around in clothes that are essentially painted on are everywhere. Borderline nude women are in marketing everywhere. Hot girls are in almost everything we see. I can't flee from the entire world.
@@smokingcrab2290 I understand the logic and yeah it's gonna happen unintentionally with seeing something out in the market or public. Our responsibility is to keep ourselves in check and if we see something to look away because of our living conviction with our relationship to God. Everybody is responsible for their actions including myself. Seek first the kingdom and know there will always be a fight. I'd personally rather be on the side of God who has already won.
Life is a constant fight and to flee from the desires of our flesh is probably one of the most difficult things any of us can do. That's why the Bible & church exists. We need both consistent devotions & community. I would encourage you schedule devotions daily andto connect with someone you can or do already trust and be open about your struggles. I have done it for myself and they have always been glad to help and keep me accountable.
Pray for me to take lustful thoughts captive and mortify them daily.
My testimony as a warning to all of you men: I'm 17. As everyone can relate, when I hit that age, I started looking at girls differently. I struggled with lust in the same ways as everyone else all the way until October 2nd this year. That was the day I decided I wouldn't view another video, or sinfully release. I proceeded to go 88 days without doing it, and I felt benefits build, spiritual confidence, clearer skin, and other benefits, etc. I felt like a king. Although, lust will patiently wait until you are vulnerable. I was able to control my urges and discipline myself for three months, but two days ago, I relapsed. It was in the middle of the night, I endured hours of lustful thoughts, and i knew they were the demons that usually tried to tempt me. But the urges grew strong and I was being more and more tempted, until at 5am I fell to it. These past few days have been a wave of lust day in and out, and I know that the demons are trying to rebuild the stronghold i broke down in the three months of retention. I need your prayers, I want to get back up, and continue in my retention journey, to save it for marriage. The point of this testimony is to warn you all, when you eventually get to the point where you have dominion over your urges and discipline yourself, you are NOT INVINCIBLE. The demons waited until 5am and tempted me through the night, patiently. Be sure to pray for protection from God, ask for wisdom, discernment, and strength. Pray for me and know I pray for you as well! God bless
I know the night temptations. They sadly always get me. I have no clue how I can do anything about it. Especially since my lust is mostly based on stuff my brain thinks off and not about outside stimulation.
@@philippbrogli779 agreed.
@Philipp Brogli A few things that have seemed to help me with this:
1. Making more time for prayer and meditation every day, and sticking to a solid routine even when I really just don't feel like doing it. (Helps me to recognize and kill my sinful tendencies and prevent any lustful thoughts/temptations from accumulating throughout the day)
2. Starting and ending the day with intentional prayer rather than aimlessly browsing on my phone/computer.
3. Keeping myself in good physical shape. Eating healthy, exercising, and maintaining a consistent sleep routine. Committing to a specific daily personal schedule to keep myself busy and hopefully tired out by the end of the day.
@@jacobyanez2585 Thank you for the response.
point 3 is something I already do, with the exception of the sleep routine. I have certain events during the week which make that impossible.
I could improve in point 2.
What do you mean with meditation. And how do you pray. I do pray daily but it is normally short prayers which are very connected to my current situation or thoughts. I run out of ideas when I have to pray for more than a minute. And praying the same thing over and over again is only honest in rare circumstances where something happens which is close to my heart.
@@philippbrogli779 I personally often use guided prayer and mediation resources since I also have trouble finding inspiration and motivation on my own. Since I am Catholic, my main daily go-to's are the Rosary and/or the Divine Mercy Chaplet, both of which involve contemplation on the life of Christ and and asking for increase in specific virtues. There is an Android/IOS app I use quite often called Hallow, which includes hundreds of guided prayers and programs to help with pretty much any issue. A lot of it is Catholic-based, but there is also plenty of other material on there which is geared towards people of any Christian background.
You cannot imagine how much I needed this video rn!!
I fell into porn again...I hate myself and am so embarrassed. I'm ashamed and scared to turn back to God..😔😔
I pray I get healed from lust and porn addiction 🙏 this thing really be killing my soul and brain..
Keep fighting good fight of faith. It is a struggle but we need to take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ. Satan wants you to feel condemned, and he come to deceive you when you are alone and helpless, try to be around family and friends so you won’t be tempted. Recently I been falling into the same thing, I know I cant overcome this myself, I need Jesus help. And another idea is leave you phone outside of your bedroom at night and get a regular alarm clock. I pray that God gives you new desires in order to help others struggling with this as well. God bless
@@sonicHD12 I've been doing better with it and leaving my phone out of my room has been a major game changer!
Don’t run from God you should run towards God. When Adam sinned God didn’t say what have you done but he said where are you. Gen 3:9.
I was in your situation as well but Satans job is to keep you from turning towards God by making you think you’ve done an unforgivable act.
We need to take sin serious, we need to flee from it! Run to Jesus! And stay away from sin. God will forgive you and it's actually good you feel scared. I feel scared too if I fall into sin to face God. But He is a loving Father, who will discipline His children. Let's not forget we became children of God through the shedding of Jesus blood. It's true God forgives us, but we must repent. Read Romans 6. Read Bible every day, pray every day. And don't believe the lies from enemy. It's temporary pleasure. You will be thirsty again. But with Jesus you will never be thirsty again. Jesus loves you so much, that He died a brutal death, so undeserving to redeem you, to give you eternal life and even a relationship with Him. The author of life itself loves you like that. But we must repent. And stay away from it. Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. That means, we have to flee from it and stay away at all costs. I encourage you to watch this documentary ua-cam.com/video/I7_92sjUcOI/v-deo.html it helped me to see sin more serious... Flee from Sodom and Gomorrah, and don't be like Lot's wife to look back. Flee from Egypt. Stay away at all cost. May God lovingly discipline you, like a Father and God bless you. Trust Jesus Christ
He loves you. Never stop talking to him. He’s not mad at you. He wants to help you through it.
Testimony: Nothing ever worked for me until I began to practice set aside and focused prayer on a daily basis. The mental and physical lust attacks eventually just...disappeared. Wow! That's really saying something since i come from a background of abuse in that area...I was always haunted by that childhood trauma that led to much deviance and darkness. I am free! ... That said, if I DO slip (rarer and rarer all the time now, praise God), I noticed its because my prayer consistency slipped first. That's when I repent and dial the daily focused prayer back up again.
"Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." 🔥
Blessings. You can do this.
Jesus is the only way to heaven Repent of all your sins and believe in the gospel Christ is near. If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
Hi there, I hope that you guys are all well... I wanted to share something that is sort of a testimony from sexual lust, in hope that it may help whoever may be struggling with this in their lives.
What is sexual lust?
As most know, lust is an intense, overwhelming desire or craving.
How do I know when I’m lusting?/How do I identify signs of lust?
Signs of lust can come in the form of:
Looking at a person longer than you need to.
It is not wrong to admire one’s beauty, because we are all made in the image of God, however, looking longer than you need to (even if you are not having any lustful thoughts) can lead your gaze into a sinful territory.
2. Satisfying the desire to carry on looking.
This falls under the previous point and this was something that I used to struggle with a lot, and never really understood until just recently.
When I was still in this perpetual sin, I would constantly look at a woman’s behind or cleavage and speak to God in my mind saying, “Look LORD, I am not lusting at all! There are no lustful or sinful thoughts that I am thinking of while looking at this lady, so I’m good!”, but the funny thing is that I would always have a thought in the back of my mind saying, “Oh really… then why are you struggling to look away!?”
God has a very funny sense of humour! Little did I know that that voice in the back of my head was the Holy Spirit speaking to me, telling me that I’m in sin and actually lusting!
3. Thinking of the person you were tempted to and dwelling on those thoughts.
This point means to relive or rethink of the person you saw or were tempted to and therefore lusting through your thoughts (Just as Jesus taught)
How to prevent it and decrease the temptation
To my knowledge of biblical scripture, there is no cure for lust. Lust, just like lying, swearing and cussing is something we will have to tame and control (through the LORD’s help via the Holy Spirit).
So how can I avoid or prevent it?
One can do so by:
Bouncing your eyes.
When searching for tips in avoiding sexual lust, at least one of you must have heard of this term before. This term simply means to look away from whatever you are being tempted to. When bouncing your eyes you can:
Look at your phone or swipe on your phone till the person/thing that you are tempted to in your field of view is gone
Looking at or “fixing” a watch
Looking at the items of the shop you are walking past
etc… Essentially bouncing your eyes means to look (as well as resist the urge to look) at what you are being tempted to.
Strengthen your mental toughness to resist the urge to look.
Glory to God, because this can be trained (yes, trained!) to an extent that you will be wondering where is the urge to lust!
When online (whether using a phone, tablet, iPad, or laptop), I’m sure you guys have seen those annoying ads next to the articles you were trying to read. So next time those ads pop up, try resisting the urge to look at them, until you have finished reading the article or until the ad disappears. By doing this, you will be building a tolerance level to that urge to look, which will help in avoiding lust!
I have been doing this for some time, and the urge to look lustfully or to look at something inappropriate has dramatically disappeared!
Protecting your eyes, mind, and heart.
This is along with the other points is very important. We (as followers of God) should be protecting our eyes, hearts, and minds from sinful things. Since we are talking about lust, the things to avoid would be pornography (because it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to resist lust while still engaging in pornography and masturbation); erotic books and novels, music videos, TV Shows, pictures, and movies with nudity and half-naked women or men, etc…
And lastly, dwelling in the Word of God (reading the Bible and/or dwelling on His’ word through biblical articles, videos of sermons and preachings, music that aligns with the word of God, etc…)
Ending the post
I hope you were all blessed by this teaching, and I hope you use it (through the help and guidance of God) to put an end to perpetual lust and sin.
God bless you all in Jesus’ name!
thanks for this comment this is the exact questions that i was asking but also when your trying to replace a bad habit do you have any tips on not getting bored?
@@kaylanthatsprettycrazy3921 Find a new habit to replace the bad one. Exercise, Go on a Walk outside without your cell, Call a Christian Friend, Join a community of people that encourage you to do better. Being bored is one of the things that leads people into doing bad things.
I love you so much for helping me man, you probably understand what I’m going through given you described it perfectly but all I ask for more is your prayer. Again, thank you and this is truly a spiritual battle that needs to be won and it can’t be won without guidance from the lord our God. You are truly an inspiration and are helping me realize that other people have, are, and will go through the same temptation i am and have been going through. I came to watch this video trying to rid myself from lustful thoughts in my mind and oh boy, I didn’t think I would spend 30 minutes scrolling through comments of people just like me expressing their own struggles. I will try my best to stay away from lustful thought and I will try my best to power through temptation. God bless you for giving away your insightfulness and wisdom.
If anyone else ends up dealing with temptation in lustful thoughts just know we are all Jesus’ children and we need to try our absolute best to follow in his footsteps. Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ [messiah] who strengthens me. Live by that verse and live more like Jesus every day.
I love you all God bless.❤
After 18 years of struggling with this, I felt that even being away from porn for 2 weeks would be impossible,. But thank God for a month of being starved of porn. Though I've still struggled with it after and recently, I've found that it's become a lot less appealing. Appetite has changed, pray it will continue to change for me, will be doing so for those here struggling as well.
My advice is what my Church calls life groups. It's a group you do life with and meet weekly with. And once a month we do accountability where we hold each other accountable. I'm in two life groups; one us a couples group with my wife and the other is just men. So helpful and give you people who care snd will support you.
if youd like share this manual book with your life group to help anyone struggling with p*rn addiction

“Hold every thought captive” is all I repeat to myself. It works so well! Great message man!
My testimony: My life has been tainted by pornography since I was 4 years old, this spiraled to so many other depraved things I’d do and watch…
But I met a woman who helped me to fight it better, and to get close to God. She is truly sent by him, and now I am closer to God more than ever. Hearing his voice, seeing him and the peace I’ve had is unlike anything we can imagine.
I am not free, but he spoke to me and said ”You will be healed, it is only a matter of time”. Trust God, have patience and learn to grow in love for him and him alone. Seek his kingdom first and the rest will come, he wants your heart first and the rest will be given.
Hallelujah!
Side note: for me, it helps to sing for the lord, praise & gospel songs. It’s lovely as well, the peace one gets is unimaginable!
Thx for the video my friend, God showed me this as I was about to fall again, am on a little streak (:
God bless!
"You will be healed, it is only a matter of time"
Wow. Such amazing hopeful words. I will take these words and lean on them for myself as well because of its true for you, it's true for all believers.
That's awesome to hear. Continue to persevere and in time you will reap a harvest . Praying for u axel
brother i recommend checking out this manual book and sharing it with your woman too so she can be there to help you better. It seems you are trying and wanting to get better but you need a better method that i think this book will reveal to you:

Lust for the wrong things is like a weed that grows and tries to kill a healthy plant, or relationship. I totally agree with him that thought patterns and triggers are important to watch. I deleted my Instagram accounts the other day because it is too easy to get sucked into the images.
Как раз вчера вновь возникла проблема с этим
Перечитывал послания апостола Павла где говориться строго держаться подальше от скверны и людей прельщающих, даже если тебя будут за это ненавидеть, ведь мы должны отринуть старого человека и стать новым собой
А теперь вот такое видео в рекомендациях
Спасибо Господи
Аминь
Bro, this was really helpful. As a 14 yo boy lust is pretty easy to take hold of me. I know God meant for me to stumble across this video. Thanks for taking the time for helping us who r easily tempted, God is moving through you.
You’re forgiven and flee from lust.
“Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.”
2 Timothy 2:22 NLT
Same, lust at our age (14) is everywhere, even when you see people you could see everyone as an object not a child of God as he said in the video
Same, Lust is a very powerful sin against us.
“The more you love the god that died for you, the more you hate the sin that put him on that cross”...very well said Isaac.
You are so right, the enemy tries to plant seeds in our minds that led us to sin. however, I learned that the better we are at noticing these thoughts the more power we have over controlling the outcome.
I love this message and I hope it reaches those who are struggling with lust and other addictions. ✝️❤️
My heart ached when I heard that message, I love Lord Jesus and I want to avoid any lustful sin, but I can’t. I keep making excuses and I’m sick and tired of it. I want to fill my spirit up with the Lord so there is no more room for this sin.
_That_ right there, is manipulative horseshit, and it’s troubling because Christians don’t seem to understand _why_ it’s manipulative.
First off, I didn’t ask Jesus to die for any “sin” that I might have, so his alleged death on the cross is just emotional blackmail used by Christians, that’s all it is. Secondly, the very idea of a person dying for the sins of another goes against what is written in the Bible (Deuteronomy 24:16).
Pray for me for I struggle with this.
Part of my New Year's resolution is to avoid lust and temptation. Pray for me to break from lust 🙏
How’s it going? Any update?
These videos seem to come right when you most need them
Yeah
Fr
A verse I’m currently using to help me battle lust, Matthew 18:9 “And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away;” I noticed that my lust usually kicks in when I’m aimlessly scrolling through Instagram so I deleted and I’ll go back on it when I gain more self control so I can get rid of the sources on it
If recommend not going back to it, if it was once a stumbling block, it'll continue to be. I deleted Instagram awhile ago, and would keep redownloading it (to see the lustful things on there without watching porn) which lead to many instances of lust, and most of the time led to porn. I've since blocked Instagram on my phone completely and makes resisting lust much easier for me. The verse you quoted is showing that must be willing to give up anything to conquer sin, and trust me you aren't doing yourself any favors if you re-download Instagram.
Just give up instagram altogether and Twitter isn’t any better. There is uncensored XXX content on there at your finger tips which leads to their Only Fans and Hub accounts. A simple innocent app that lets you post a few thoughts about a popular topic is a full blown porn promotional tool. Social media is toxic.
Definitely needed a video like this brother. Thank you for this! Living for God starts with growing your love for Him!
Absolutely beautiful message. I'll definitely have to start praying for my love in Christ and god to grow more.
TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE
This mindset has helped me a lot. Thank you.
For me, it's been about crying out to God in desperation, being sincere that HE is the only one who can help and heal, and also being faithful to obey his guidance. I've had at least 3 miracle breakthroughs in my life. One was that I used to have lustful thoughts pop in my head all the time. I attended a Bible school and was ashamed it was still happening. So I cried out to God in desperation, and He healed me while also warning me not to watch any movies with sex scenes in them anymore. God freed me, and I'm no longer a slave to it, and now it feels so inappropriate if I happen to see a sex scene. I'm like, why make public what is meant to be private?
A similar thing happened when I used to struggle with nightmares. Again, I cried out to God and felt strongly in my heart God say, "I will take this away from you, but you have to stop watching scary movies." The very next day, my nightmares went away; I've never watched horror movies or had bad nightmares since.
Third, I had a severe anxiety issue until I decided to stop taking meds and doing other things to "fix" it. Instead I went into my closet and shut the door and wept and cried out to God for help. The very next day, my anxiety attacks were broken, and now 8 years later I've never had one again!
You have to abhor the things you know displease God. Not abhor yourself, just the sin. And this will motivate you to be free of it.
If you love me, keep My commandments.
Yes, let's pray for greater love first, and obedience HAS TO automatically follow.😊
I want to walk in the Spirit Lord. Help me to overcome the desires of the flesh. I love You more than any sin
The accountability aspect has been critical for helping me overcome the temptations of lust. Accountability can be as simple as agreeing with your friend that each of you will report to one another each night if either of you gave in to the temptation. When you KNOW that you will not lie to your accountability partner about your lust, it's almost like they're right next to you when you feel the lust and it can dramatically help snap you out of the situation. God bless all who are struggling with this. You will be better and God will be pleased with your efforts.
Thank you brother for reminding of something God always is telling me yet i always run away instead of focusing on him i focus on defeating the sin by myself
I almost gave up the other night 😮💨. In the moment it feels like nothing matters but to satisfy your flesh and you think doing it isn’t so bad. I have been asking God for the strength to turn my back from lust, when I felt committing to it it’s like I was being convicted, something saying “don’t disappoint your Lord God” and at the same time the strong urge to ignore that voice and give in. And I knew instantly it is the same pattern that I’ve been falling for, I had to gather every bit of strength and call out to the name of Jesus and I’m so glad I didn’t commit to my flesh, even tho I did cause I considered about giving up.
And most importantly I learnt from it. It is nothing but the truth when Jesus said protect your eyes 😂. Don’t ever, under any circumstances, Never think you’re strong enough to underestimate lust, you see it you run. Mightier men in the Bible have fallen for it, and you and I aren’t any greater than them.
"You can't help what you see but you can help what you look at."
Similar idea to the birds flying overhead.
Check out Craig Groeschel "Winning the War in Your Mind" super helpful.
That was great for me, thank you. I've been struggling with lustful thoughts and have been asking God to help me, to strengthen me, and to refocus my eyes toward him but never once did I think to ask him to put the love of Jesus, the love of God in my heart, because I hadn't yet articulated that the love that I have for God is what leads me out of sin and into righteousness. Praise Jesus for you, Isaac. I'm 15 and in the very openly lustful world we live in today where we have access to all types of media, I've been exposed to so many things over the years. But now I have realized that it does me no good keeping the same habits or watching rated R movies with most definitely sexual scenes in it because "I can't handle it". Truth be told, I cannot. And I will not all myself to open doorways and gateways for the thief, the one who has to come to steal, kill & to destroy to torment me because I have willingly allowed myself to be complacent. These thoughts disgust me and make me honestly want to gag. I don't take pleasure in sexual images or sexual innuendo anymore because I know now that if this were to be said in front of Jesus, what would be the look on his face, and if I have to question it, I know it's wrong. For he who the son sets free is free indeed💙

And by the way, it's 1 Corinthians 10:23:
"All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but not all things build up." :)
I’d advise not using blurred images of women as clickbait on an anti lust video. Cuz anyone who thinks it though knows you searched for those images and blurred them yourself. God’s message will stand for itself if people are willing to listen. It doesn’t need clickbait.
Jesus is the only way to heaven Repent of all your sins and believe in the gospel Christ is near. If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
This. It’s those images that lead us to thinking about this stuff. They’re everywhere. Stop putting them out there, especially along the path to escaping this mindset.
Please pray for me, I want to be free from lust💔😢
God bless
Lord, thank you for this message and that you will help me overcome unGodly fantasies that have plaugued me at night, in and out of sleep. Grow my love for you and my hatred for sin. Thank you that in you, I will overcome!
Good point. Instead of trying to fight off the bad “habits”, develop good “habits”. Instead of trying to overcome the specific sins, focus on developing faith.
God bless you Brother, amazing content as always.
Try an elastic band around your wrist and snap it whenever you get an ungodly thought. I’ve tried it and it’s working well. Glory to God
Amen amen amen!! God is so good! Thank you Lord!
Thank Lord for your goodness
First time I've seen your channel, and right after I screwed up with lust last night watching garbage I shouldn't have. Glory and praise to God, He put this video in Recommendations so I can stay clean.

It’s all in the thought pathways. That, and cutting the platforms in which you have access to lust. I have slowly been phasing out my interactions with social media, I’ve left UA-cam and Pinterest on my phone, but, such as Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter I have removed completely. I even set up safety settings on my regular google searches so no adult content would show. If you do those two things, cutting the platforms and cutting the thought pathways… annnnd obviously living in prayer and reading the word, then I know I myself and anyone else who does these things will be free. God is so good. Remember that even when you do fall into sin, you have already been forgiven, there is no condemnation for us who believe in the son. Let’s live in that truth. We got this!
Thank you soldier of God ✝️🙏
Daily Reminder to get in the word of God
Come, Holy Spirit, come and fill my heart with love for you and the people I meet.
The Bible verse of "if you love me you obey my commandments" that you mention was the same one my ex told me that was lead us breaking up, and my gut told me lust was 100 percent a factor of why he said that. He didn't want to continue to follow God commandments as a Christian. Which broke my heart when I was seeing clearly that he was very lustful in the relationship and was in the relationship with me for manly sex. And I was being blind by it from my low self-esteem and fear of going back to being a single and alone, that I ignore the warning that God was trying to give me. I felt stupid from that experience. Right now, I see that my love is more stronger with God when I sense the devil was testing my faith if I was willing to follow and still try to stay with my ex. keeping the unhealthy relationship over being obedient and choosing God over sin. If it wasnt for that Bible verse I wouldn't have been woken up to the reality of what was happening.
You are correct. We need more people to invite our battles.
Thank you man I have been struggling with lust for a long time and I really want to stop
Please pray for me as well, I want to be free from pornography of every kind, once and for all.
Thank you and God bless you, my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. 🙂
Personally everytime I am feeling lust I pray for it to stop and literally 10 secs later it stops EVERYTIME I literally can only remember 1 time that this hasnt worked.
Thank you!
The timing for this is perfect for my life and walk with the Lord right now.
Thank you!
For all those who have spent years in shame and bondage to this thing, know, know that the Lord loves you and He will not leave you in your sin if you cling to Him.
He knows you, He knows what you are feeling, He knows.
Love the Lord with ALL your heart, ALL your soul, and ALL your strength.
Not sure where the quote came from, but one that’s stuck with me is “Do not run from sin, but run towards Christ.”
I find that applies a lot when talking with people, even on less sensitive subjects. It’s not just about doing a good thing, the reason you’re doing it means the world in its effect. It’s not about your sin, Christ has paid for that. Instead, make it about Christ.
Thank you for this ministry!
God works through his people.
Lord have mercy on me. Been battling this for 2 years, will be 17 on December 31st. Jesus has transformed my life in so many ways over the past few years, but lust (porn/masturbation) just doesn’t seem to stop. It feels like I can’t do this anymore. I go for a week or two without it and I feel great, but then I fall. This has been happening for the last 5 months and I was heavily addicted for 1 1/2 years prior. Please pray for me; I need help.
I hear you brother. I've been a Christian for 20 years and while God has been incredibly good to me it's still hard. I last longer between falls these days, but it's still heart-rending when you give in yet again. But remember that our Lord delights to forgive us. He is angry with sin, but why? Because it is not of Him, and because it separates you from Him. And He doesn't want that, He literally sent Jesus to die to prevent that. So every time you fall, remind yourself that you are baptized into Christ (meaning that you have come to God asking for forgiveness, and that He does not refuse those who come to Him looking for His salvation). It's hard, but that is the battle of faith - it's just fighting to remember and trust that even filthy as you know you are after sinning that our Heavenly Father is far more concerned with us coming back to Him than He is with holding our sins against us. The voice telling us that He won't forgive us is lying, and we know who the father of lies is. Tell that old serpent to take a hike, and fall on your Father's mercy. Because He would not call Himself our Father if He did not feel towards us the desperate love of a Father for His children. And let me tell you, as a father myself I cannot imagine refusing to reconcile with him no matter what he had done, if only he asked me to do so. He is mine, and I am his father, and that's all that matters. Just like the prodigal father who said "this son of mine who was dead is alive" when his pig-feeding wastrel of a son came home I would simply be overjoyed that he was back. And I promise you brother, that is how God feels about you every time you find the courage to come back to Him after sinning. So keep coming back my man - our Father is Good, and He does not turn away those who come to Him in faith. And if you feel like you don't have faith, just ask him for that too. He gives freely to all who ask of Him. And He will come back for you Brother. I know it feels lonely in this world where evil runs so rampant, even in our own hearts, but our Father is coming and then the one who has tormented us will have some 'splaning to do. :)
@@phillipshorter7751 Philip, thank you so much sir. I truly appreciate your message, and my salute to you as a 17 year old who is looking to be a father one day. Your message came at just the right time. I will continue to draw near to Christ and seek Him in all that I do. God bless you and your family Sir; I pray that you will have a transformative, spiritual, and bountiful 2023 in Jesus Name.
Isaac, just because you blocked out the bodies of those women doesnt make it any better. Imagination is all it takes for a person to fall into sin. A guy might look at those blocked out bodies and still fall into sin because he starts thinking abt it and imagining
I'm a girl and it triggered me. I like guys, but seeing anyone like that kick-starts my imagination in a not good way.
Yes! 👏👏👏 It took me such a long time to grasp this concept. And it was bc I did NOT understand the LOVE of God for me, I did not have a handle at all on His grace, and I did not understand that once I knew HIM and was walking daily in the spiritual part of myself with Him, my heart would overflow with gratitude and the sinful desires in the physical part of me could fall under submission. As I've learned more about He who is in me (greater than he who is in the world), and the more I give Him authority over moments of temptation, the stronger our bond becomes. And I don't want to ever trade that for going back.
A major support to this is definitely being alert and vigilant to what temps me and not entertaining anything close to something that will even possibly go there in my mind.
YES to accountability if you are struggling. Be wise who you elect to be accountable to.
:) The quote was close, and...Luther. Well used, as far as the tie-in, though! Keep up the great illustrations!)
This is so “right on” bro! So right on! Thank you, so simple, so powerful, so poignant, so TRUTH! 🙏🏼☺️
“The more you love the God who died for you, the more you hate the sin that put him on that cross.”
Amen! ❤
It’s strange that more love creates more hate
You summed it up pretty good. Thank you for this, it's really exactly as you said
one of the biggest sins I had attachments to is lust, it is one of my main unhealthy ways of coping whenever I'm tired, bored, or stressed. I started it when I was still very young and it became a very hard habit to break, especially when I am getting closer to God, I flee from it for a week then go back to it even worse. I keep repenting and repenting and sometimes I'm just tired of it, I feel unworthy of doing God's will for me because I keep falling back. My faith is still there, but it's definitely weakening. Pls pray for me
Your eyes are very caring
Hy brother❤️ I think some of our christian brothers are complaining about the Thumbnail 😬so if u could look into that it would be really cool 😎
Hey!! Thumbnail was a trigger my friend. Please!!
Uhhhh, subscribed...
That was great brother. Thanks..
Thanks bro for opening my eyes ❤
I agree when you love 💕🙏🏻💞 God is easier to obey
I had a struggle with lust a few months ago and I realized it all had a root. Everytime I fell into lust it started with a thought, or a picture. I realized that just how God commands us to be rooted in the faith, the devil uses that in sin, he makes a root and that way it’s harder to overcome. In reality we are dead to sin and we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood but against spiritual hosts of wickedness. But I had to cut it at it root, truly you spoke facts in this video! I started taking every thought captive! I think it’s important to note though if you know it often starts with a thought when you’re ON Instagram, twitter, Facebook or UA-cam you should get off completely. Garbage in garbage out. I know because I deleted all social media! It has been nothing but a blessing to me.
I don't completely agree with his teaching because it contradicts the portion of scripture where it says our hearts are deceitfully wicked...so even if you mean well like a Pharisee doesn't mean you do well in the eyes of God
deleted all social media, yet you're here lol..
you are right I downloaded it back 😂 I watch a lot of teachings on here though so I didn’t even think about it……but I can’t say your not right lol
Please share your thoughts on this a little more. Because I completely agree that the heart is wicked. Maybe even share the time stamp! I’m rewatching right now to pay close attention. Also I Really like how you mention that because a lot of people back away from that scripture because it offends them.
Powerful video
God bless you all each
"The more you love the God who died for you, ,the more you hate the sin that put Him on that cross."
Wow. That struck me more than anything else.
i was literally about to watch porn… then I came across this video. Thank you so much! God really made clear to me how easily it is to accept the lies of the flesh.
Would u mind changing the thumbnail
I bet you he won’t. Just look at his latest lust video that had PornHub on it
Amen! Thank you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Praise our Mighty and wonderful and Marvelous God! God bless you all! God bless us all!🪽😇😇😇😎💎🪽✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
The description of the children is really on point. Your father by blood may lead you to stray but your true father never will. You respect your father like the heavenly one but you respect the heavenly Father above any flesh, blood, or friend. He created you, so how is it possible to argue that he doesn't know best for you
For me, I haven't struggled with porn necessarily but with the actual thoughts of lust that come. Oftentimes, there is a girl that I find extremely attractive and wish that I could be with them (just like in the video example). Then my thoughts go, again, into that path and it takes a lot to get out of it. I thought I had killed it years ago, but it seems it was just dormant until I got to college. I realize now that my love for the Lord must be greater than my love for anything else. So yeah, if y'all would be willing to walk with me in this, God bless you.
Praise God!!
One thing that has worked for me is limiting my social media sites I use. I still use Facebook and ticktoc. But Twitter and Instagram I have removed from my phone because of how much "lustful content" is just thrown in without me even searching for it.
When you watch something or listen to something on your phone or other device, you are opening a door (be it to the enemy or not). Then, if the enemy comes in, he can tempt you. If you commit what the enemy tempts you to do (think about a lustful thought, do something physical, or watch something), you are making a legal agreement and the enemy will only get you to do more if you do not repent for making those legal agreements. When you repent, you can break that legal agreement off and that stronghold will disappear. The enemy is so crafty at getting you to think a bad thought. The enemy will tempt you in such a way that it almost feels like your own thoughts. You really do have to take every thought captive. I know these things well. Repent for making legal agreements, command open doors shut, and command the enemy to leave. Just know, if you are holy spirit filled, a demon cannot enter inside of you. That does not mean that you can't be attacked by the enemy because of a legal agreement.
I had issues with looking up bad things, but God helped me by revealing that it was basically torment that the enemy was doing. That feeling of pleasure is poison disguised as something sweet. I decided to make a vow not to look up porn and it has been over 4 years now. I pray that a sour taste will enter your mouth when the enemy tempts you with fake pleasures. Save it for your wife (or opposite sex to you)! I recommend you watch the video on Sid Roth that talks about a man seeing an evil spirit at a hotel. He speaks about what the spirit of lust looks like!
Get some help.
@@ericthered2881 Did you even watch this video or did you come to say "Get some help." To everyone in the comments?
Even as a Christian, lust is really hard to battle, since it kinda has to do with your heart. That’s kind of a reason why it says in the Bible to flee from lust rather than fighting. But.. yeah, tough, tough battle man even if you aren’t Christian
Thank you, just thank you.
Lust is terrible and you need to have autocontrol and will for leave this comment comes from someone who is suffering from lust
I try to keep in mind that lust is a spirit, and it helps a lot to firmly rebuke and cast out the spirit of lust and masturbation the second that I get an intrusive thought or feeling. I also downloaded Bible audio, which I try to listen to while I sleep to keep demons/nightmares away. God bless you in Jesus' name
Praying for you, its brave that you acknowledged that you struggle with lust.
I recommend going to confession first (if you haven't been in awhile) But also to find out what leads you to entertain these lustful thoughts. Remember your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Its never easy! Pray to God, ask him to give you strength!
Jesus Christ is bigger than every problem or sin, remeber that, also once we have the control and freedom it's forever 😌, I'm gradually fighting it also through Christ 😊🙏✝️
God bless you guys ✨
@@PridelessChickz I’ve had the sleep problem your talking about, even after I broke free of lust. Maybe a small thought would come, but it didn’t put me in chains and I would rebuke it with scripture. I found telling people about my dreams at church really helped, I also asked God to “throw me over the wall.” Metaphorically. Because I couldn’t finish or start the race myself. God bless
You're definitely right about the "pathways of thought" we can travel without knowing it. I have to watch myself anytime I visit a website that has even a remote possibility of showing a suggestive ad or image (ex. UA-cam, Facebook, Pinterest, etc.). As a someone who's been fighting pornography addiction for over ten years, just seeing one has the potential to get me thinking more and more lustful thoughts. Thank you for your insight into this common but important issue.
After getting married, my lustful desires to watch porn significantly decreased; but my lustful desires still can become very strong during depression or periods of anxiety. While I stop short of watching porn after typing in the search, I feel guilty that it continues. So I substitute it with heavy gaming, binge watching movies, or watching car reviews. I still feel very empty trying to chase after things to fill a void.
This can be applied to many things. Praise God
Hey Isaac, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't include any images in the thumbnails...
It makes fleeing lust a little harder.
Thanks brotha, God bless!
His thumbnail from 4 months ago was way worse than this one. I had actualy fallen because of his lust video thumbnail from 4 months ago that has Pornhub on it.
I know, stop watching UA-cam!
Lol😅
Watch only good youtubes, the algorithm will stop suggesting evil to you
Definitely stay away from Instagram
Frrrr
I want to give God my worry and anxiety can be evil and sin from my eyes
Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers
Thank you for your ministry pastor and I hope you're having a good day
Love you brother
I hope you're having a good day
God bless you and your family
God bless you
Jeremy Scruggs
Have a good day God’s love you
Brother, I know you are most likely not going to read this, but if you do, as a fellow believer and brother in Christ, do you mind changing that thumbnail please? I am fighting temptation every day, and while I do appreciate the video, I just know what’s behind those blurred images, and that kind of entices me towards temptation so please if you read this, I would really appreciate it if you changed the thumbnail.
You think he’s gonna change it? He hasn’t even changed the thumbnail from the last lust video that had PornHub on it lol why did he even add it on the thumbnail man?
Appreciate you making a video on this, but one thing that drives me up the wall is when people make purity videos that still have provocative-looking thumbnails. We all know what images come to mind without needing blurred out versions in the thumbnail, which is still unhelpful.
Stopping the thought train as soon as you recognize it is the best strategy I’ve had. Lust is an exponentially steeper slope the further down you go. Stop while it’s flat, and you can just turn around instead of needing to crawl back up.
I’m currently 18, I was exposed to porn at a very young age, I think I was 11 or 12. A few years later when I was 14 I was tempted and was stuck in it ever since. 4 years later God set me free. I tried to beat it in my own will power but obviously I failed, I didn’t change until I went to camp last year where a preacher gave us tips on how to deal with it. The tips he gave me was find someone to hold you accountable Dailey. Also love God more then your sin. Obviously sin separates us from God but what also helped me was I constantly pursued after a relationship with him. So after camp God revealed to me I needed to tell someone. Once people prayed for me and held me accountable things began to change. My heart began to change. I thank God everyday from setting me free from a bondage I never thought i would get out of. All I can do is encourage you to love God and have a relationship with him. God bless you all!
Lust is a terrible thing but remember to study your Bible. Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under Heaven given among Men by which we must be saved". AMEN y'all. Don't give up brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you all. I really appreciate the great work in Christian ministry/Apologetics that this ministry does for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep uploading these videos dude this channel does great Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content 🙏❤️. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Bullshit word salad.
There is no “Word of God,” only words of men.
@@DesGardius-me7gf Prove it? I'll wait...
@@justingary5322 Your beliefs are completely based on circular reasoning, which you don’t see due to brainwashing.
@Des Gardius 2012, from your perspective, there's only meaningless babbles of barely evolved monkeys on a random rock in a meaningless universe. And because this is your worldview, I simply don't care what you think. Sorry bud.
