A Spiritual Weapon That Can Help Overcome Masturbation (lustful Craving) by Inteltower: 7:49am On Aug 11, 2019
I too have been in the act masturbation & shameful about it. it was a struggle, I resisted many times & fell to it many times. as a Christian I knew it was abnormal & there were many factors that can cause one to masturbate like not only at the attractiveness of women, but high libido, sociocultural & economic condition (normally from 24/25 one should be getting married), spiritual husband/wife, porn & erotic images, sex chat & immoral songs.

So you see the temptation of masturbation can come in diverse forms, & even if it is not masturbation as a reaction/response you see people committing other immoral acts like premarital sex (gf/sugar mommy/prostitute), homosexuality, rape, sex imaginations, defiling children (not cool), etc

My focus is on Masturbation & for those who think its right, it ain't because it isn't God's will.

So in my struggle, it was really that hard, I prayed over it as well but I saw myself doing it again, I knew I was disappointing my heavenly Father. to note I have high libido & attracted to ladies a lot, but am not a flirt offline & I respect women & their bodies, the mere sight or thought of lusting at anyone I vehemently rebuked but my flirting is more mainly online (its strange).

Now I heard about a message on masturbation (forgotten where) & it pointed out that amongst many sins lust is a spirit that comes & goes & that a scheduled deliverance won't be effective.

Now there came a night, while attempting to do the usual with a stubbornness in me to just do it even when I knew it was wrong & resisting a bit, I started hearing a gospel song emanating from me in that process, a song am familiar with, you know that type of gospel songs you sing/listen that revives your spirit, very heavenly & holy, yea the song started right there was reducing that sexual hunger, the immorality of the act was leaving me, I discontinued without even telling myself not to, it was supernatural, as if sin just gave way to something superior to it, the song felt like it invited God right there on my bed, I just couldn't continue with what I wanted to do because I felt freed, mind you it wasn't guilt or the knowledge I have the Holy Spirit in me or that I was abusing God's grace but what made me stop was this invitation of holiness through that song & the lust fled & my sexual urge settled down.

This morning as it had been a while back of that experience, recalling this the Holy Spirit reminded me that heavenly songs are weapons of spiritual warfare against lust & not many use it against problems like that.

Yes there are practical human ways to avoid masturbation but many are weak in the flesh to be constant with such prescriptions.
time & time again the temptation comes I either get myself busy or sing of song of praise to God with revelation & gratitude especially when alone.


I hope this solution helps my fellow brethren experiencing such.
Table the problem before God to help you overcome the immorality.
Remember Christ said the immoral won't enter the kingdom of God, so lets not be lack luster about it because we have Grace, because it can also affect your sexual health & generations to come.

WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA LIKE KIDNAPPERS, HERDSMEN, POVERTY, HUNGER AND SICKNESSES.

IF YOU WERE EVEN SLIGHTLY SENSIBLE YOU WILL FOCUS ON PROVIDING THE SO CALLED SPIRITUAL WEAPONS TO DEFEAT THOSE.

THAT YOU FOCUS ON HARMLESS, UNIMPORTANT MASTURBATĮON INSTEAD OF OTHER CRITICAL SITUATIONS IN NIGERIA SHOWS HOW YOUR LIFE LACKS DIRECTION AS A CHRISTIAN.

Another misinformation, masturbation is not a ain anywhere in the Bible. Simple understanding of the human system would make OP understand why he masturbate and simple psychology would help him understand why he was addicted to it. But instead OP decided to spiritualize it and cast and bind.
Typical behaviour of an over-religious Africa man.

The devil is a liar. He will make you focus on lesser sins like Masturbation.

Instead of you to focus on Fornication which is one of the greatest sins. Almost all young ones dating
in Nigeria have fornicated. Adultery is also a norm, most households in Nigeria, either one of their partner
have committed adultery.

The repercussion of these above sins have led Nigeria to what is it today. So many diseases and illnesses we dont have
in yesteryears. Also, focus on kidnapping, rape, rise in poverty, murder, ritual killing and yahoo yahoo that is rampant in Nigeria.

All these have caused us to be in Sins.

I am not saying Masturbation is good. But the way you people that are fornicators and adulterers paint it is terrible.
MASTURBATORS are better than you in the sight of God. You see them fucking around abusing guys who are trying to be virgins.

@Inteltower OP, focus on the above. If you have fornicated before, ask for God forgiveness.

Your pastors have not been able to overcome sleeping with other people's wives and lying through their teeth every Sunday. Yet u think something like masturbation requires heavenly song to stop right? Lol

Ewu, we will all die. But when we die a sinner, you have died d worst death. Lets fight for eternal salvation cos we obviously cannot fight all u mentioned above and even If you do fight them, you'd still die. Fight for your soul, this world isn't supposed to be a utopia, no be heaven them call am, na earth.

OP, i concur, i have had d same experience on multiple occasions. Singing praises help overcome it. But one thing that makes me never think of it for days is keeping busy, moving around and doing something, once i sit down and relax, it will start creeping up.

you are saying because you can access any Christian related thread without swearing an oath as obtainable in the ' other ' religion. Since 1960 you've been discussing ' the big problems' what's the benefit??

Well the way it worked for me was self promise and believe. It was almost New year's eve so I used the remaining days of 2014 to masturbate to stupor and I had already made a promise that this coming 2015 I will never go close to masturbation. At the beginning of January I'd get tempted but I knew once I start masturbating again it will take me to wait till another year for a New Yr resolution so I just sticked to my self promise and before I knew it January was off and the urge started reducing in me so I became resistant to the temptation.

Masturbation is a normal human sexual activity. Don't let anyone make you feel you are a sinner. Better be a masturbator than rape or get hiv from people

Mr sensible, we don see u.. Madman, smh so because they are bigger problems in the country does it mean the smaller problems should not be tended to? Why do u think with ur ass,
we have millions of churches in nigeria go n meet them to provide spiritual support for the problems of Nigeria n let others contribute solutions to little problems.. This person posted something he thinks might help others going through this addiction called masturbating n u are here saying we have bigger problems. Mumu, people who reason like you are the reason why Nigeria have bigger problems, because u think that bigger problem just appear out of thin air abi, forgetting it started from just being a little problem that was ignored,
masturbation/addiction can lead to a more bigger problem that now put others at risk, rape, kidnapping, and even more... Just think before commenting next time, don't just pour out your stupidity for everyone to see, thinking u are actually making sense.. Happy Sunday/salah

masturbation ain't a sin, it's a natural way to relieve urself of sexual urge and it doesn't have any negative effect on ur body

about feeling guilt after the act, well, i don't fucking understand why you'll be feeling ashamed after masturbation, i masturbate very well and I've never ever felt any guilt or ashamed of it, and doesn't ask for forgiveness too (I'm a Christian) cos i don't see it as a sin

i remember the first time i ever masturbated in secondary school, i didn't know wat i did was called masturbation, I've never watched or heard abt it b4, it just happened, that's to tell you it's natural

with masturbation, u can have sex with a lot of girls, celebrities over and over again till you're tired, even ....... .. I'm not even saying anything again, na u sabi
