15 Steps That Will Help You Live Above Pornography & Other Sexual Related Sins by butanep(m): 6:50am On Apr 20, 2016
Porn is destructive, it pollutes the mind. It reduces women into nothing but sexual objects, and the men as sexual predators! Pornography is sinful, Jesus said whosoever looks at a woman lustfully has already
committed fornication with her in his heart (Mathew 5:28). Unfortunately, a lot of Christians are addicted to it, watching porn on their mobile devices, TV, computers etc.

Are you caught up in the web of pornography? You discover you cannot control yourself anymore, the
more you try to stop the more you find yourself watching it… if your heart cry today is “oh wretched man/woman that I am who will deliver me from the burden of this death”! I want to congratulate you
that today you can break loose from the bondage of pornography if only you can be sincere and allow the Lord take over your life.

It is for those that can take time to read and digest the words for positive transformation.

1. Surrender your life to Jesus:


Accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour is the very first step you have to take. You need to confess your
sins to Jesus, ask for His forgiveness, Accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, He will fill you with the Holy Spirit that will empower you to
overcome sin and Satan.

2. Delete all porn movies and pictures on your phone, computers etc.


Ensure you clean your devices from those pictures and movies, including website bookmarks and also clear your browsing history. Use filters to block pornography and sexually explicit contents on your computers.


3. Leave any Facebook or other social media group that is always displaying nude/semi-nude Pictures.

Block contents from any friend on
Facebook who is always feeding you with sexual contents, if you don’t know how to set the filters, simply unfriend them. You are
responsible for what you allow in your life.

4. Make a decision that you won’t search for porn and sexual contents on the internet
Don’t think twice before you close any pop up page with porn materials on them!

5. Destroy all porn magazines, novels, pictures,
CDs, DVDs in your possession, don’t keep anyone behind.


6. Don’t fall for the deceit that porn will enhance your sexual life when you are married.

it will only complicate issues for you. Lots of married people are frustrated as a result of their partner’s addiction to porn. Porn will not help your marriage; it can only destroy it as a
Christian. Take heed!

7. Pray to God to cleanse your heart and
imaginations


8. Try and avoid places that will tempt you into sexual immoralities, like red light districts, etc.



9. Immediately turn your TV off if the program you are watching is tending towards soft porn or any immoral acts, or simply change the channel.


Don’t assume you can always stop along the line, one small thing will always lead to another thing and before you know it, you are back to porn again…Discipline yourself, take a decision against porn. Remember the devil will always tempt you, but you have to take your stand! The bible says resist the devil and he will flee, the same bible says “flee fornication”. Wisdom demands that you simply walk or flee out of the tempting environment, be wise!

10. If possible avoid friends that are always discussing porn or pervasive ideas with you. Let them know you are a Christian, and let them know your stand!


11. Focus your energy and passion on loving the Lord and fulfilling His desires for your life.


12. An empty mind is the devil’s workshop.

Get busy with positive things, face your career, your life goals, your spiritual life, turn your idle moments around, spend time to pray, meditate, sing, read the bible and gospel literature. Engage in bodily
exercises, outdoor games etc

13. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19 . You must realize that your body is God’s temple which must not be polluted!

14. Discuss with your Pastor or a trusted believer who you can be accountable to.

The bible says we should confess our faults one to another and pray for one another so we can be healed (James 5: 16). If you are married, confess and discuss with your spouse also.

15. Finally, get busy with God, seek to know Jesus Christ more, the more of Him in your life, the more you can live as an overcomer.

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5: 16). Seek to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, be active in your fellowship, join your local church workforce. Work for God! Dedicate your life and your time to Him! Volunteer for noble causes, write articles and send to us, we will be glad to publish them for you…begin to walk and work for God and porn will lose its grip over your life.

Our body is the temple of the Lord, so we have to keep it holy. Sin brings reproach.
