Overcoming The Addiction Of Pornography by Missyajoke(f): 6:36pm On Jun 27, 2020
Dear soul,

Let me speak to your heart for a moment.. I’m not here to condemn you, or to judge where you have been. I understand just how easy it is to get caught in the web of pornography.


Temptation is everywhere. It’s an issue that we are all faced with. Daily we are enticed by what we see on television, in the movies, or on the internet.

It may seem like a little thing to look at that which is pleasing to the eye. The trouble is, looking turns into lusting, and lusting is a desire that is never satisfied.


“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”  ~ James 1:14-15


Often this is what draws a soul into the web of pornography.


The Scriptures deal with this common issue…


“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”


“And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.” ~ Matthew 5:28-29.

Satan knows our temptations. He uses beautiful images and seductive thoughts to entice us into his web. We become intrigued. Our interest leads us into a seemingly harmless path, until it becomes a stronghold in our life.


Satan sees our struggle. He laughs at us deliriously! “Art thou also become as weak as we?  God can’t reach you now, your soul is beyond His reach.”


Many die in its entanglement, others question their faith in God. “Have I wandered too far from His grace? Will His hand reach down to me now?”


Our weakest moments are when we’re lonely, we’re enticed by our own lustful thoughts. We flirt with temptation when we should flee. “What harm will it do?” we say to ourselves convincingly.


Its moments of pleasure are dimly lit, as loneliness sets in having been deceived. No matter how far into the pit you have fallen, God’s grace is greater still. The fallen sinner He longs to save, He’ll reach down His hand to hold yours.


The Scripture says,  “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  ~ Romans 3:23


Soul, that includes you and me.


Only when we realize the awfulness of our sin against God  and feel its deep sorrow in our hearts  can we turn from the sin we once loved and accept the Lord Jesus as our Savior.


“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9


Don’t fall asleep without Jesus until you are assured of a place in heaven.

Pornography is undoubtedly among the biggest temptations and sins in the 21st century.

Many had fallen victim, even pastors!

Not just pornography on the internet, but pornography on the streets, offices, markets, shops, cinemas, churches...yes even churches!

How? The way some ladies dress nowadays makes a lot of men to lust and masturbate sinfully in secret.

It takes a lot of discipline to live above porn as a youth.

The core truth is that it's a sin as Jesus taught and will take one to hell fire! Now, that's enough truth to make any one to repent.
