People associating porn with spiritual tendencies you guys are lacking proper education and are way backward.
I frequently have sex with my partner so I don't really watch porn. The effects of porn are not what you guys are mentioning here.
Here are the effects of porn addiction
1. Erectile dysfunction
2. High dopamine level in the brain and that's bad
3. Losing interest in Girls or relationships
4. It can desensitize your androgen receptors
5. It fuels anxiety
6. It sometimes causes one to be an introvert.
7. It makes you seek out hard sex positions with your partner

There you go.
You cannot actually fight porn addiction you just have to minimize the consumption so as not to affect your sexual well-being.

No human is free from temptation. The key is not to fall into it. A powerful weapon against porn is praying with a sincere heart and pleading for Grace to help you overcome it.

It is in your mind. You can stop anything bad you are doing by stopping to feed it. The same applies to bet. Close the site or block the sites and never be alone.

If you can't resist the urge. You not a Christian yet.

If it's christ that oversee your conversation, your heart will be so meditated in him and his works you won't have time for other wordly things.

Truth is many of us are not Christians. We just bare the name.


Be practical.... don’t be theoretical......
holiness is not a jeans that u buy and possess for ever.. it’s is a walk and a journey of continuity

Everyone experience phases of christain growth. The day you give you life to God through Jesus is not when you stop all your sinful / Unhealthy habits....
.some habits will leave by daily feeding on the word of God I.e through understand....
some will leave by the power of the Holy Ghost..when you receive baptism like the apostles did at penticost. .

You ddnt start to commit sin by your self....as early as age 3 or 4... children start to lie and display greed .....it’s not you that will automatically stop sinning...
U can excercise willful self control which will not last....it’s only God that can set one free after dedication and continuity in Christ Jesus..

Study and meditate on the word of God. Feed your mind with

“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].”

Look I was addicted to porn and I used to w*nk off alot. But to the glory of God I gave up that filthy habit a few years ago. I was constantly praying over it for God to help me stop, but no way. It was as if the more I prayed the worst I got. But I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit a few years ago and I sacrificed porn and masturbation on the Alter in exchange for something personal, and that did the trick, agreed sometimes the thought sort of breezes into my head, but I pray it off and keep off all these sensual music videos and movies. Something triggers you, find out what it is and deal with it.

Hammergirl:
I used to be this way. How I overcomed it was first making a decision not to be engaged in it.

How was I able to achieve this? I kept my mind off it by reading inspirational books, motivational books and Bible.

When am alone, I go on a walk.I avoid being alone. And if I happen to be alone, I pray and sing hymns.I also engage on meaning discussion with friends and family.

Above all pray to God for help. The Bible says, no man can do the things of God, except God is with him.

1. You may have a medical problem that requires treatment. There are free resources to evaluate yourself.

2. It could just be a phase. You may just be a young guy, and that's typical behavior you'll laugh about later.

3. This material is wrong. I'm talking specifically about hardcore material. It dehumanizes women and contributes to taking their power in society. It is not harmless. It also desensitizes you, so that you find it challenging to have a healthy intimate relationship.

4. Some of this material comes from human traffickers. Consuming it means you support that.

5. Softcore (fake) or "3rotic"/s3nsual material is not bad. It's a part of a healthy attitude towards relationships and intimacy. Normal, healthy artistic expression depicts love/intimacy and all the wonderful things about it.

6. You should consult your religious leader to determine how, as a Xtian, you treat romantic art in your life. Depending on your beliefs, you may have to abstain from certain kinds of material.

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.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 12-13

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.



HYMN12: I AM THINE O LORD.
1. I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.[color=#990000][/color]

EVERY MAN IS A PRISONER TO SIN UNTIL HE ACCEPTS CHRIST AND GOD FILLS HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WILL REMOVE THE SINFUL NATURE IN HIM AND MAKE HIM A NEW CREATURE. UNTIL THIS IS DONE, EVERY EFFORT IS VAIN AS WHEN U DROP ONE SIN, ANOTHER ONE WILL POSSESS U. MAN WAS CREATED TO BE A DWELLING PLACE FOR GOD AND WHEN U REFUSE TO ACCEPT GOD, DEVIL WILL THANK U FOR THE VACANCY U CREATED FOR HIM AND COME AND INDWELL U. THE CHOICE IS YOURS AS A FREE MORAL AGENT BUT CHRIST IS EVER READY TO WELCOME U TO HIMSELF. AS AN EX-COCAINE PUSHER, I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT WHEN I WAS CONTROLLED BY THE ELEMENTS OF THIS WORLD BUT THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE THAT FOUND ME AND THESAME GRACE IS STIL AVAILABLE FOR ALL WHO ARE ENSLAVED BY SATAN WHO SEEK FREEDOM.

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

Bible verses and prayers are only effective when you have made the innate decision to quit this once and for all. You must first hate the sin with all that is in you, then pray and beg God almighty from the depths of your heart. Beg him to save you from that dungeon, beg him to bring you out of the deep sea of sin which you have cast yourself into.

If you beg him with all sincerity he will rescue you but you must be careful not to go back to pornography afterwards because this time, it will be far much more intense and deadly than before. How do you avoid going back? By praying continuously everyday, by filling your mind with the word of God and shunning all forms of worldly music, videos or pictures that feed that monster.

Remember, it is you that feed your passion. Feed the vice of pornography by daily watching illicit music videos, engaging in erotic conversations and it will surely grow into a monster that would devour you. But feed your mind with the word of God and all things nice and you'd see yourself become a changed man.

May God give you the strength and resilience needed to defeat this monster that has ruined kings and prospective leaders. Amen!!! Stay blessed.

Please note that most pornstars were injected and enslaved to do the act. It's called human trafficking. Avoid watching this slaves cause they wouldn't have done the act if they were not injected. So many innocent women out there. There is an American movie(can't recall the name) that exposed this based on a true life story.
