The Deceitfulness And Dangers Of Masturbation by Marioplus(m): 6:03pm On Aug 24, 2017 |
Masturbation is both deceptive and extremely dangerous. The deceit in masturbation is that many believers indulging in it assume that it is not sinful because it does not involve another person. That is exactly why satan has found masturbation a potent tool to destroy the lives and purpose of the Children of God. Satan is happy to keep you deceived while you masturbate your soul away. You must know that sexual sin is not an act but a state of your heart. Jesus said, “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28 KJV) So the fact that you did not actually have sex with a person does not mean you cannot commit sexual sin. In fact, the sexual act is a physical manifestation of a sin that has taken place in the heart. Let me quickly share with you some of the dangers of Masturbation. Masturbation is a sexual sin and it is a sin against your body because it defiles you. Remember, the Holy Spirit dwells in the body of a believer. To commit sexual sin is to defile your body and sin greatly against your own self. The Bible says, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 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 6:18-19 KJV) Masturbation opens your life up for demonic operations and attack. Sinful habits are attractive to demons. By willingly indulging in such sin, you invariably give them the authority to manipulate and influence you. The Bible says, “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” (Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV) Masturbation will kill your prayer life. The devil really loves this. You cannot finish masturbating and raise your hands to God to worship and pray. Guilt will not allow you to pray. Masturbation is a tool in the hand of satan to destroy the prayer life of believers thereby making them weak. The Bible says, “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” (1 Timothy 2:8 KJV) Unless your conscience becomes seared, masturbating will constantly make you live in guilt. It takes the joy of the Lord away from you and gives you a guilty conscience. It basically makes a mess of your life. A guilty conscience will drive you away from the presence of God. It was guilty conscience that made Adam hide himself from God after he sinned. Masturbation allows your conscience to torment you. The Bible says, “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:” (1 Timothy 1:19 KJV) Masturbation keeps you from seeing God. The Bible says blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. (Matthew 5: The evil thought and imaginations that usually go with masturbation corrupt and defile your heart. Masturbation is addictive. The devil does not just want you to commit sin; he also wants you to be trapped in sin. Many are trapped with the sin of masturbation. They wanna come out of it but they keep going back to it. It is addictive. It takes only the power of Christ to break the yoke of sin. Your determination and self-will will consistently fail you. The Bible says, “Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.” (Jeremiah 15:6 KJV) Masturbation brings about self-shame. It is a shameful act. One that you cannot proudly discuss with anyone. The worst of shame is self- shame. Though unknown to others, it fills your entire being and you constantly feel shameful and dirty. Such shame destroys your self- esteem. The Bible says, What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. (Romans 6:21 KJV) If you are into ministry, masturbation will render you powerless. You won’t be able to help people with unclean spirits because the devil cannot cast out the devil. There is even the danger of being overcome by demons when you attempt to cast them out. Masturbation, therefore, lives you exposed and vulnerable in ministry. When you preach righteousness or holiness, satan, will remind you of your own secret sinful habit. Do not allow evil spirits to ask you this question, “And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” (Acts 19:15 KJV) The person who masturbates lives a secret life. You keep watching your back when no one is after you. You keep looking for a private moment and a secluded space for you to perform the habit. You are constantly on the watch when you should be at peace. You have to buy some of the materials you use in masturbating discreetly because no one must know about it. You are living a double life. The Bible say, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1 KJV) Lastly, just like any other sin, masturbation is a sin and God’s eyes are too holy to behold iniquity. You risk the wrath of God. You also risk going to hell fire. The worst of it all, you risk kicking God out of your life. The Bible says, “Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:1-2 KJV) You may have struggled with it for years but it can end today by the power in the name of Jesus Christ. Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and ask Him for the grace to walk in purity. You can contact your Bible,A Good Holiness Pastor or me for further counselling. God bless you. #Share_it {OKONKWO JOYCE NORAH} |
