Boss. I was almost becoming a chronic masturbator praying to God to help me get rid of this act, but it dawned on me that i have a role to play which is, HATING the act totally. If i didn't do so,i believe i will still continue to do it.

I talked to myself and developed deep HATRED for the act, i set a target for 1week not to FAP, i crossed one week, extended it to three weeks.(that was a week before the lockdown) I think i fell again like i normally do but this time was the last and i can say for the past three months if not four sef i haven't done it again. It's not easy but it can be done, just be determined and develop HATRED for it. Trust me the benefits are plentiful.

Well, if you want to douse a fire, starve it of oxygen.

You really should have a proper understanding why you should stop these acts.

Not because God hates it.

Not because it is a sin.

Not because you will go to hell if you continue doing it.

All of the above reasons apart from the fact that they are false, won't give you the needed motivation to actually stop.

So, why should you stop, you may ask. Well, for the following reasons:

1. Your willpower is tied down and has become a slave to your body and mind. That means you are no longer in control of yourself. It's just a matter of time before you descend to an animalistic level where you either abuse a minor or rape someone or become gay.

2. Whenever you ejaculate you lose a huge amount of energy. Now, this may not look significant until you realize that the amount of energy needed to ejaculate is way way more than any energy you need to perform any other natural day to day function.

This is because, you are releasing creative energy at that moment and unfortunately, you are wasting it.

3. What's most unfortunate is that you might be wasting it, but other lower elementals, beings that exist way beyond what retinas of our eyes can perceive make use of these energies and so, they feed off from your carelessness.

In other words, they are attracted to you and they encourage you to do more and more and more because they live off your energy.

I'm sure you've noticed how difficult it is to stop masturbating.

Now what's the solution, you might ask.

1. Get rid of your porn stash. There's no masturbator that doesn't have a porn stash either on their phones or on their laptops.

2. Replace your smart phone with one that cannot browse the internet. Go for the earlier versions.

3. Install software that helps you block such sites on your laptop in case you need to access the internet.

4. Resist the urge to ogle women. Cast your eyes down whenever you pass them.

5. Realize that your religion may not help you much. Sexual urge is a natural phenomenon and so must be discharged , but appropriately.

So, praying to God to help you supress a purely natural instinct is not normal at all. In other words, your prayers won't stop you from having sexual urges, just as your prayers won't stop you from getting hungry or thirsty.

6. Be more active OUTDOORS than indoors. Develop an interest in outdoor sports like lawn tennis. Try not to be alone indoors.

7. Learn Yoga meditation. There are some forms of meditations that teach you how to TRANSMUTE your sexual energy and absorb it into your body so you can stop feeding your demons.

8. Don't give up even when you fall again and again and again. Just be determined.

Fact!

There is nothing wrong with having a high sexual urge or watching pornography, it becomes bad when you can't control it.
Get married or get a girlfriend who has a great sexual urge as well and you will realise over time you have forgotten about these stories.
That's why it's good to know how to mingle with ladies.

Are you battling with masturbation?

Are you a Christian that's into masturbation? Are you tired of it? Have you tried all possible means to end this menace. Have you fasted and prayed to no avail? Do you feel like you're in bondage? Have you been noticing the negative effects of masturbation in your life? Are you molested in the dreams? Are you battling spirit spouse?

Do you know masturbation can be stopped easily?
I know your experience negates this claim. The reason you find it difficult to stop masturbation is actually because you don't know the keys. When you know the keys, you will find it so easy and you will wonder how you have allowed yourself to be oppressed for so long. This is coming from someone who was once a victim but God has sent to liberate people from the bondage of masturbation.

Do you know masturbation is a weapon designed from the pit of hell to attack men of destiny. It seems to defy prayers and fasting because you are going about it the wrong way.

Are you tired of being a loser, that's what masturbation turns you to.

Forget about all those advices like don't sleep naked, don't be alone in a room, be always busy. They are temporary measures, impossible to keep and don't attack the root of the problem. They don't work.

What if I tell you you can return to the state where it will be as if you have never masturbated before and see masturbation as a strange habit.

Do you know you can get back to a state where you have early morning erection and still don't feel like masturbating.

It is time to get back your destiny

Please seek God's face more, He still loves you no matter how bad the situation is now.

You need to speak to a counselor. Unfortunately, we don't have many practicing counselors in Naija.

Masturbation is an act most people perform unknowingly especially teenagers who are not given proper sex education. I have few questions to ask you,
* Why do you masturbate in a lone place, probably your room, when it's dark, and then you shut the door?
* Why do you have a inner feeling of guilt, being used after having "sex with yourself".
The above questions are for those claiming masturbation is not a sin. The Bible in 1Thessalonians, verses 3-4(" it is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality, that each of you should learn to CONTROL HIS OWN BODY in a way that is holy and honourable"wink
I'm not in any position to judge anyone, because we all are from different background, but do not let your background put your back on the ground.
Jesus Christ remains the way. Each time the thought to masturbate or to watch pornography comes, just say these few words and mean it ( Devil get thee behind me I rebuke you in the name of God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit). Mean these words and take your mind off the addiction you're dealing with, and get those innocent hands busy with something presentable and productive. With time, your success story will emerge. Shalom. Remember any thing that does not glorify Your Maker (God), is not worth doing. FLEE.

You need to get rid of all those things that make you lean on porn and masturbation
Look for a permanent source of joy and happiness
Confess all your sins and listen to audios from great men of God
Saturate your environment with christian worship songs and change will come.
Its just a matter of time but with God all things are possible.
Pray against the spirit of Lust and slowly but surely all will fall into place.
be Intentional and ask the Holy Spirit for help
We are all humans and fall many times but what matters is we get back up

Good morning everyone.

The subject refers,
I am a Christian. However, I have been struggling with a whole lot of non Christian like habit. One of such habit is watching of pornography and masturbating. This habit has lingered for more than 10 years now.
I am an introvert probably what has made it worse and perpetual.
I don't like this act. But I usually still practice it.

I believe God loves me but he hates this act. I really don't know how to STOP IT.

Pls I need help. This has really affected my relationship with the Holy spirit, myself and other people please help.

Also I have discovered that in the past 2 years i have been so disorganized, and forgetful.

At work I have been termed a LIER. I feel really embarrassed with myself when people give me something and I forget I have been given or I don't know where exactly I kept it. Then I will be asked of the same thing I won't be able to find it. Sometimes I deny it was ever given to me because I can't remember It was ever given to me.

This has brought me a lot of struggles at work(banking) and has made me ever so frustrated with myself.

I WASN'T LIKE THIS[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] before. It so unfortunate this is happening to me.

My prayer life too has gone down the drain it's zero. I attend church service Sunday however due to the current lockdown I can say I don't have any relationship with God!

Do you know married men masturbate too? Unless you don’t masturbate but I assure you if you’re an addict, you’d postpone all your appointments just to self-service off...
my own advise is that
if you’re reading this and you’ve not started masturbating please don’t engage in this act. It gets worse the moment you want to stop the act
Initially it’s sweet oh... you’ll even thank God for giving you the opportunity to explore yourself, but eventually when you feel like stopping, that’s when the evil spirit takes over and ruin your plans.
Masturbation is more addictive than weed and Alcohol. Be warned!


Masturbation is a destiny destroyer. You are defiling the temple of God each time you engage in the act. Masturbation is a sexual act with unseen evil spirits. You are exchanging your destiny with a moment of self pleasure. Each time you spill your sperm on your hand or palm, you are destroying the work of your hands because your hands are the symbol of your labour. Don't let anyone deceive you. Your semen contains life. Don't waste it. Nothing is free in the spiritual world. An exchange take place each time you are fu..king a demon through masturbation. You are exchanging your virtues and these evil spirits are always present and ever ready to make your life and health miserable. Imagine masturbating twice daily. That's over 7000 sexual encounters with invincible demons in ten years. Christ is more than able to deliver and to save you. Dont listen to those telling you to continue the act and remain in bondage. Call on Christ Jesus today.

It is different actually. And the difference depends on a few factors too.

The same amount of energy is released, but there's the opposite female presence to absorb it and vice versa.

To really explain that I'd need to go into yin-yang theory, theory if thought forms and the value of emotions, the existence of black keys and other ancient knowledge that has to do with that aspect of life which is not appropriate here.

I typed a lengthy response initially, but I don't think it is proper for this forum.

So here's a simple answer.

That our eyes can only detect a range of light frequency doesn't mean that's all there is.

There are beings that surround us but live in a different frequency that our eyes can't detect.

To us they are invisible. But they exist all the same.

Just as the x-ray and the infrared ray of light frequencies exist but our eyes can't detect them, even though we now have machines that can detect them.

And these are just an insignificant range of light frequencies when compared to the ones existing.

If you’re old enough to marry and have a lady you’re in a serious relationship with, then just marry asap. That’s the remedy I can prescribe for you. I also want to implore you check YouTube for the benefits of semen retention, it will help you greatly. First check this link below to read testimonies of people who have overcome masturbation.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ ALL

All those scientific measures aimed at stopping masturbation are only temporal, it doesn't even work on most people.
The surest way is to accept Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour willingly and from your heart. If you're already born again but for some reasons you see your self going back to old ways, just rededicate your life to God asking for forgiveness and mean it this time. This is the first step!

Once you're in Christ, you're a new creature, a new being. Old things don't matter anymore. Now giving your life to Christ and allowing Him dwell in you expels EVERY UNCLEAN spirit in your life. Note that as someone who has just given his life to Christ, you've been saved from sin and also been forgiven of your past but then there's still every tendency of going back to sin if you don't invite the HOLY SPIRIT to dwell in you, of course that's why you see most Christians after giving their lives to Christ then go back to sin in no distant time!
The Holy Spirit serves as a daily guide, He will direct you on all things. There's no weakness in your life because the Holy Spirit, the embodiment of all glory, dominion and strength lives in you in His fullness. No part of your body is available for sickness, disease, masturbation, low self esteem. The Holy Spirit in you keeps your spirit, soul and body invigorated and ever alive (Rom. 8 vs 11).

You must also allocate your time to the study of God's word because that's the only thing your spirit needs to be able to allow the Holy Spirit in you function well. That's the spiritual food your spiritual body that is made up of the Holy Spirit needs!
IN SUMMARY
*Accept Christ as your Lord and saviour
*Invite the Holy Spirit in your life
*Maintain this Spirit by continuous studying of the word of God

Once you do abide by all these principles, masturbation or even the thought of it won't ever have access to your life because a new spirit lives in you now

All the best bro

I know rich men and women that engage in the two acts. It only becomes an issue if it gets out of control just like almost anything in life. Control is key
Masturbation is addictive! though it's addictive effect might take time to manifest in some people!

Good morning everyone.

The subject refers,
I am a Christian. However, I have been struggling with a whole lot of non Christian like habit. One of such habit is watching of pornography and masturbating. This habit has lingered for more than 10 years now.
I am an introvert probably what has made it worse and perpetual.
I don't like this act. But I usually still practice it.

I believe God loves me but he hates this act. I really don't know how to STOP IT.

Pls I need help. This has really affected my relationship with the Holy spirit, myself and other people please help.

Also I have discovered that in the past 2 years i have been so disorganized, and forgetful.

At work I have been termed a LIER. I feel really embarrassed with myself when people give me something and I forget I have been given or I don't know where exactly I kept it. Then I will be asked of the same thing I won't be able to find it. Sometimes I deny it was ever given to me because I can't remember It was ever given to me.

This has brought me a lot of struggles at work(banking) and has made me ever so frustrated with myself.

I WASN'T LIKE THIS[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] before. It so unfortunate this is happening to me.

My prayer life too has gone down the drain it's zero. I attend church service Sunday however due to the current lockdown I can say I don't have any relationship with God!

Please I need help[/quote]

IT'S VERY EASY TO STOP....ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DON'T SPEND MUCH TIME ALONE ...WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO AT HOME JUST GO AND PLAY WITH YOUR FRIEND..... STAYING ALONE AT HOME YOU CAN'T OVER COME IT THAT WAY.
