Ok. Have you specifically taken this matter to God in prayer with a passion of enough is enough? Do you watch intimate scenes on Tv or focus too long on semi-unclad ladies, walking ponography on the road?

Have done that on several occasion, even to a state of loosing life.. I get it more on the internet and I just can't hold myself once I'm alone. I feel mad about my act and regret each moment but just can't help each time I'm overpowered by this ungodly act. The worst is that I'd served as an executive in church, and that may not be a criteria though. I really need the help of God. He's got a great vision for me and I really want to fulfil it. Can't continue in this ungodly act.

Seriously prayed about it. There was a time I left it for years. I'm 28 and hoping to be in a relationship soon. I do not like the fact I'm not true to God, my fiancee to be and myself. It hurts me greatly

What do you think about living in sin (lying, anger etc) after salvation?

Scholar8200:
What do you think about living in sin (lying, anger etc) after salvation?

It displays an act of partial submission to Christ. All sins are equal before God and His desire is for all to live above sin. Living in sin after salvation is as good as living in sin before salvation.

Ask for grace.

You are right.

Hebrews 9:12
12 He went once for all into the [Holy of] Holies [of heaven], not by virtue of the blood of goats and calves [by which to make reconciliation between God and man], but His own blood, having found and secured a complete redemption (an everlasting release for us).

Jesus said he that commits sin is a servant of sin. By virtue of the Redemption in His blood the Scripture says:
7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir [c]by the aid of God, through Christ.(Galatians 4:7)
This is your right but you have to appropriate by a faith that will not be denied! Not to excuse the tokens of slavery/servitude but to claim your right to total freedom.

Redemption means to buy back from slavery and/or restoration to original condition after the payment of a ransom. The Bible tells us that in Jesus Christ we have redemption and He gave His life a Ransom for us. He has paid the uttermost farthing hence we cannot be remanded in prison/bondage lawfully except if we want it so. These,like many other benefits of redemption, must be claimed. Not because God forgot, but He wont force on us that which we do not earnestly desire and our willingness to persevere proves our faith(just like the Syrophenician woman). But our faith that these things are actually ours and that the dominion of sin is illegal, should naturally stir up a holy anger that will make you demand (not beg; begging may simply mean you dont understand your right in Christ) that it be done in your life as it is settled in Heaven and revealed in scriptures.

Please get this understanding from scriptures before praying. Understanding is the mother of faith that cannot be denied. Besides, you will need to avoid walking into or staying on sites/places/people that are objects of temptation.

Let me give an example:
There was one who had problems with nocturnal visitors in the dream. After a discussion on the above he went to the scriptures. Understanding burned like fire and he went to God in prayer. Till date it has not recurred.
I read of another with similar spirit wife problem. He embarked on fasting and prayer but I think by the 4th/5th day, he was still not free. It was then he began to see the link between the intimacy he watched on Tv and these night visits and the need to avoid such at all cost. Lesson: Fasting and prayer with listed deliverance prayer points sans understanding by faith is powerless. Also, prayer and fasting while failing to obey the command to be watchful, and avoiding sources of temptation will yield no fruit.
In addition, since this sin makes much use of your mind and the mind cannot focus two things at the same time, try getting an Audio bible mp3 and play whole portions or books while you work endeavouring to focus your mind on the reading, this will help regain the control of your mind which due to over-indulgence in fantasy, might be flabby now.

you need to separate yourself from worldliness, lust, vanity, emptiness et al.
how much time in a day do you spend:
*reading the Bible
praising God.
worshipping God
praying?
can you be said to have a personal fellowship with Jesus?
else the urge for sin will only and definitely increase. what are the things your heart is set upon?

I have a fellowship but one I question each day due to my sinful act. I spend less time in the above becos of guilt in my heart.

don't allow guilt to rob you of your victory... pray with Ezekiel 36:26... meditate on Jeremiah 1:1 till about 10. ask God to cleanse and sanctify you.
