the method is practicable but only determination can help.
1.stop being alone whenever you doing things with your browsing phone
2.get a small phone and insert your hotline into it
3. in cases where you are with your phone and the urge arises quickly get a rubber band and tie it around your wrist this will make you associate pain with the sensation
4. change your physiological position immediately the urge arises like taking a walk instead of sitting or laying down or go for an exercise or better still play some music and dance to the tune
5. know that these methods may sound foolish at it's initial stage but with time you will discover they will help you achieve your aim if you are truly committed to them and try to repeat them from time to time because repetition is the mother of all Skill and please note that prayer can not do what self discipline will do for you.Stay blessed.

Brother, prayer and fasting can't stop it. Engage urself in other valuable things like reading Bible, stop watching any music, films that can arouse sexuality.

Sorry o...

But if Jesus said certain demons can't go unless we fast, was He wrong?

Good morning.

Please I need suggestions.

What kind of prayers should I pray when the temptation arises, which Bible verse should I read?

Please know this is someone who's been addicted to porn for more than 7 years.

Pray and determine. if you are more determine to leave it , you can achieve it. if God help you and you don't help yourself , you are not ready because God would not come down to help you. he had gave you what you need to avoid that but if you don't use it you will still find yourself in that mess.

You must know that, the spirit of porn is not you. I mean , whenever that though comes to you , you must know that you have possessed by another Spirit that is fighting against your real Spirit. At that time you must read to fight that spirit by rejecting all the bad things it brings to your mind. treat it as if you are seeing that spirit, talk to him as if you are seeing it. eg I am child of God I can't do that.

what will you do to me if I did not watch it?

ok I am not going to watch it again and I reject you in Jesus name. leave my life I am for Jesus.

Jesus defeated you ,I must defeated you. you are not me I reject you in Jesus name.

what is there to watch I am not a candidate of hell fire ,I am for Jesus.

if you can stand as man against that spirit and you stop taking it as you, as your life, and you continue saying you are weak . you can't defeat it. it is not part of you.

the Bible said we should resist devil and he will flee from us

I fought that spirit and today I am happy. There is no spirit I can't resist now since I wasn't born with it. I have to control my life by and allow the spirit of God to reign in my life any other spirit can't rule over me again.

You don't need prayer,all you need to do is to remove all adult content in your surrounding.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2020.

THEME: NO VACUUM.

MEMORISE:

Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Luke 11:26

READ: Luke 11:24-26

24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

MESSAGE:

Scientist have established that there is no vacuum anywhere in the world. It is the same in the Spirit realm; wherever the Spirit of God is not present, an evil spirit takes a seat. This is why many people keep going for deliverance sessions- trying to get rid of the same demon over and over again. It is not that the demon did not leave the first time, only that, when it did, the delivered fellow did not invite the Spirit of God into his/her heart to dwell, hence the demon came back with a legion to take over the heart. Such people end up worse than they were before they went for the deliverance session.

In the Bible verse above, when Jesus chased the disease-causing demon out of the life of the man at the pool of Bethesda, He warned him not to go back into sin, lest a demon with a worse disease enter into him. If you want total and permanent freedom from demons, you must keep your heart filled with the Holy Spirit.

Have you recently become free from the hold of pornography, alcohol, hard drugs, sexual immorality or cultism? This is the time to constantly read your Bible and pray, because if you just keep rejoicing in your freedom without growing in grace, you would soon find yourself back in your old ways, or even worse. This is why many return to their old addictions.

Deliverance ministers should also not leave a person alone after praying for him/her. There must be proper follow-up to ensure the Spirit of the Lord is fully formed in such a person. Teach them to read their Bible daily, to pray and to be a part of fellowship. Follow-up is the real deliverance; it is what determines if all the efforts in getting a person delivered are worth it or not. It give s an assurance that you did not leave the person worse than you met him/her.

Never leave a vacuum for the devil to take advantage of. Welcome the Holy Spirit today.

PRAYER POINT:

Deliverance is not complete until the Holy Spirit is fully formed in the delivered.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 12-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


This is today's open heaven, I hope it will help out

Give it time and install apps to restrict your access to those pornographic sites.

'Digital wellbeing app' can help you restrict opening those sites .

Get busy sir, and in the night when it's time to rest and the urge comes? There's this thing I normally did as a child and even now that I am old like this grin, I hope it helps you.

In children church years back, our pastor would always tell us that whenever we were faced with temptations we should always pray and then say this continuously " I am the righteous of God in Christ Jesus" we all laughed about it. But somehow, it became my mantra when ever I was faced with temptations, because I began to think about the consequences or aftermath of whatever evil grin I wanted to engage myself in.

I know it's sounds stupid, but I wanted to share anyway... Hope it helps you somehow.

This is really less of a Xtian problem and more of a human problem.

1. Learn about the porn industry. You'll come to see that behind the scenes, most of those women are being abused and you're indirectly contributing to that

2. Identify your triggers. Porn addiction, like many addictions, is a source of dopamine for your brain and many people unknowingly use it to relieve stress. So you may find that you turn to it in stressful times more than other times. Watching movies with subtle nudity is another common trigger

3. Try the "mdf app"

You have to reorganize your conscience, balance your thinking, be busy for the Lord 24/7,read your Bible always, try to finish the whole Bible in a month, next month you start over again,spend time with the Lord in prayer, the spirit of porn will leave you by force

You won't understand cos you are not a neurosurgeon and addiction to things affect the brain in a different way

Porn addiction is so different from other addictions as it pumps more chemical than any addictions. Don't need to explain as you won't understand

U are trying to sound brilliant without saying anything. u think other people you meet on nairaland are daft..... well done Mr neurosurgeon

You are just playing with words, trying to be over critical....

In the first place .... is christian not a nickname unbelievers gave believers of christ...thatvlater becam a religion through politics.....

What do you mean playing with words?. Are you that weak you have to make such a strong case for weakness.

People gave the name "Christians" because they saw Christ helping the poor or living up the certain standards and they also saw the deciples live up to that standards. It was born out of kean observation of both parties. Not because they saw him wanking off. There are grave sin that we must overcome as men. Greed, pride lust envy, anger. Those are basics. It's like someone saying am a Christian but I can't stop stealing. We are making this lust into something unbeatable. Which it's not.

If you a Christian which is Christ like. You would have past that stage in your evolution.

You not a Christian. In other words you not yet like Christ rather you want to be like Christ.
.
You can't ask the right questions how can you even get the right answers.

If you want to stop porn, stop porn by stop washing porn. Tell him that. Its easy. The difference between you and me is you don't believe. I do that's why I said you not a "believer"

I go by this � but to add, some watch porn when the orge comes to masturbate while some get aroused after coming across explicit contents. in all discipline yourself it doesn't go out in one day. Stay away from explicit materials work on your mind as God for the grace

Technology has made so many things possible.A man once said that he did something to his phone that makes his wife see whatever he does on his phone.I don't know how it's done but I think it's possible.You could do that same thing with someone you respect as a mentor in your Christian walk.Whenever you are tempted to look,you know that someone has access to your activity history and you'll be discouraged.You need someone you can be accountable to.Also, eliminate all forms of temptation from your phone,system, cos you can never be too strong to fall.If you see any woman and your mind tells you to look again, do not take a second look.Prayerfully do these things and I believe you'll see results.

I simply know that if I get married, my porn watching will reduce but my life is somehow now. I've not started living my life. I have different barriers from illness and other things like financial lack attached to it. I don't even have a girlfriend. I just use porn to ease myself sometimes.

Sodiquinone:
Get married

Modified

Those of you quoting me should get married and see if the urge to watch porn will nt reduce drastically,then with a strong willpower and fear of God it bcms easy to stop completely
