I'm on a 1 month fasting and praying,6 to 12 is for 2weeks while 6 to 6 is for 2weeks also,I just finished the 6 to 12 yesterday,2day is my free day in order to continue the second half tomorrow

I've been having temptations since I started this prayer,satan has been sending women my way in order to spoil the fasting,I kept jumping and passing,though the urge has been there because I haven't had it for a long time,to an extend that I ejaculated before waking up from sleep every morning

Now the issue is that I masturbated today which is my free day in order to reduce the tension because I'm starting a tougher one tomorrow which is 6 to 6 which will last for another 2 weeks

The question now is,has this masturbation spoiled things for me?I still have faith that everything is still intact provided that I did it on my free day or am I wrong? I know masturbation is a sin but Its better than having it with any girl because if I did I wouldn't have been here asking questions,I would've canceled the remaining 2 weeks

Bro stop deceiving yourself u are not fasting...u are just suffering yourself

Bro. If you are matured enough to fast, then I think you know the answer to that question.

Bro release yourself, cos you re not fasting

Masturbation is a sin. Whether fasting or not, masturbation is affecting you negatively. I pray almighty God will deliver you sir, Amen.!

Banging is better than self servicing because they both have the same punishment in the sight of God and the former gives more satisfaction. If you wan chop frog just close eye chop big one. You for just arrange one of the chicks than self servicing.

Hian! Should this question not be directed to the person who placed you on d fasting in d first place? We don't know the terms of reference of your fast nah.

the guy is a Muslim, don't be deceive.

For christ sake, d devil has succeded in defeating u in dat aspect cos he has seen dat u wil overcome if u continue in ur fastin wihtout committin sin. My advice is dat use tomorrow to plead for mercy nd ask God to overcome dis destiny killer called selfservice;it delays someone miracles. And don't just fast alone bt with agressive prayers,u wil overcome. Stop playing wit sin if actually u want to overcom selfwill.

It is called hunger strike; its not easy though to battle ya mindset, u just ve to try and kip off. Masturbation is a serious sin, a sin against d Holy Spirit. Try and stop it, not easy ma bro buh by His Grace we shall overcome it.

Hello bro,
The most important thing is to give your life to Jesus!
This is a very easy thing cos God is a very loving and forgiving God!
Simple steps to become free.

Abc
A: accept the fact that you are a sinner Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God!
B: believe that Jesus came to the world to die and pay the price for your sins and that he has the power to redeem you and deliver you from every form of bondage to sin,
C: confess Jesus as your Lord and savior and call for grace to live a life of victory in Christ Jesus

You don't need to punish yourself by fasting for 4 weeks when you are still bound to sin.

No matter the number of days you try to fast to be free, without the above steps you'll keep falling. The eyes of God is to holy to behold iniquity and our righteousness are like filthy rags before him.

The Hands of God is not too short to save neither is his ears to heavy to hear our prayers but it's our sins that keeps him away from hearing and saving us. Isaiah.

Yes if it affects your mind.

The reason many are advising him to break his fast is because we have placed self-servicing on a pedestal and made it greater than other sins. Self-servicing is a sin; like every other sin we all commit when we are fasting.

What of those who don't self-service but look lustfully at a woman? Should they break their fast too? Or those who got angry or envious or are critical of others during a fast? Should they break their fast too? What of those who make careless exergerations when gisting or chatting during a fast? Should they break their fast as well?

If sins break fast, then every fast will be unworthy of its goal. The goal of fasting is to help mortify carnality in the soul, so carnality in the soul should not make us break our fast, its the reason we are fasting for starters.

The goal of a bible fast is to mortify lust and carnality in the soul through the tool of self-affliction. Meaning you don't overcome lust and carnality to fast, you fast to overcome lust and carnality. To say someone must be holy to fast is an irony and a paradoxical statement; because you fast to mortify lust and carnality.

You begin your fast even with the lust and carnality still in your soul; and you continue the fast even with the lust and carnality, until the fasting afflicts your soul to the point of mortification of lust and carnality.

It takes a while for fasting to accomplish its goal of afflicting the soul unto submission to the Spirit of God. That's why I always say lenght matters in fasting.

I remember when I went on 30day water fast in May of 2013. It was around day 21 to 26 that sexual appetite was fully subdued. At that point of the fast, nothing could turn me on or even induce lustful thoughts any longer.

Now if I had broken my fast because of lustful thoughts on day 5 or day 14 or day 20; I wouldn't have afflicted my soul to the point of submission.

That's why Jesus said tarry UNTIL ye be endued with power, meaning its not when you begin tarrying that you're endued with power; there is an "UNTIL" attached to the result of fasting.

If you want to overcome all your flaws before you can fast, that in itself will be a sin, because the fast will be an exercise in self-rightoeusness.

Konji na bastard!!!

bro,all is well,the deed has been done,so no time to worry over spilt milk.yes you have sinned but dont allow satan to cheat you.you dont get drowned in water by just falling there,you get drowned by remaining there.we are prone to sin,but you must be sober and godly sorrowful and ask for forgiveness.after doing that,u can continue your fast.may God help you as you continue in your fast and christian journey.dont feel remorse,it will make you to commit more deadly sins.may God help you.

well,it seems you are a baby xtian,that is why you dont know that the consequences of fornication is more grieveous than masturbation.in fornication,there is pairing and segmentation of soul,i.e 2 becomes one.in fornication,u acquire the demons of your sexual partners.which do not happen in masturbation.i am not insinuating that masturbation is good bt they have different consequences that vary depending on Gods mercies.They are all DANCERS AT THE GATE OF DEATH.

"Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" (1 Corinthians 5:6-7).

"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." (Galatians 5:9).

Human sexuality can be one of the most beautiful aspects of God's plan for His children here on earth. But since Adam and Eve's fall from grace, human sexual practices have drifted from God's purposes.
In fact, if we are not careful to look to our Heavenly Father and follow His teaching in this area, we live a life which makes us slaves to sin and fails to bring glory to our Lord.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
If you are struggling with sexual sin, you are not alone. Even King David -- a man after God's own heart -- wrestled with sexual sin. When he saw a beautiful woman named Bathsheba, he was overcome by his own lust. He then went to great lengths to hide his sin. But thanks to a faithful friend and a forgiving God, David found his way home (2 Samuel 11:12 ). And so can you.
FREEDOM IN THE TRUTH
Too often, we step onto the wrong path in our sexuality because we fail to act upon God's truth. Jesus, in one passage of the Bible, examines the freedom found in truth, and the enslaving power of lies. In that passage, the Lord puts it plainly: the truth sets us free. We either respond to the truth or to Satan's lies (John 8:31-47 ).
Recognizing the truth about sex can be an important first step to achieving victory over sexual sins. First, God wants His children to enjoy the beauty of appropriate sexual relationships. The King of the universe has much to say in His Word about the joys to be found in a marriage where both husband and wife know and love Christ (Gen. 2:24-25 ;
Prov. 5:19 ; Song of Solomon).
However, the devil, the accuser of our souls, constantly tries to wreck God's plans. He lies to us, tempting us to believe that we can grab hold of sexual pleasures apart from a marriage commitment. He uses day-to-day pressures and our own sinful nature to accomplish his purposes.
And what begins as merely a "wandering thought" can quickly tempt us to act sinfully (James 1:14-15 ). These sins can involve pornography, fornication, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, and other ungodly sexual practices.
No matter what sins overcome us, we must recognize that lust is at the root of our sin (1 John 2:16 ; Gal. 5:16-20 ). Lust blinds us and leads us deeper into sexual sin (1 Tim. 4:1-2; Rom. 1:21-27 ;
Eph. 4:17-19 ). Each sin results in the same end (Rom. 6:23 ) and can carry deadly consequences of disease, and worse:spiritual death.
BREAKING THE CHAINS
To break the bonds of sexual sins, you must repent. That means a total change of direction, away from the sins and temptations, and toward the forgiving grace of a loving God. If you have allowed lust to control your life, yield to God as the Holy Spirit convicts you of your sin. God will forgive and cleanse you physically, emotionally and spiritually, if you humbly come to Him (1 John 1:8,9 ;
Psalm 103:12 ; Romans 6:23 ).
If you do not know that Jesus is your Savior, turn your life over to Him. Simply pray this prayer: "Jesus, I know You died for me. Thank You for saving me from my sins. I ask You to be Lord and Savior of my life."
Once you know Jesus as Savior take comfort in knowing that He identifies with your struggles and He desires to set you free (Heb. 4:14-16 ). He will enable you to gain the victory.
FIGHTING THE DAILY BATTLE
To overcome the temptations you will continually face, follow God's simple plan:
Stand firm against temptation (James 4:7 ; 1 Pet. 5:6-9; 2 Tim. 2:22).
Confess your sins to a brother or sister in Christ and pray to be healed (James 5:16
).
Hide God's Word in your heart (Psalm 119:11 ), trusting in its strength (Heb. 4:12 ).
Minister to God with sacrifices of praise (Heb. 13:15 ) until you are filled with the peace and joy of the Lord ( Isaiah 26:3 ).
Most of all, the change must come from within (see Prov. 23:7 ). Fill your mind with God's thoughts, not worldly thoughts. And remember, the Bible says that God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and He will show you how to escape from your temptations (1 Cor. 10:13).
Finally, become part of an active Spirit-filled church. Study the Bible daily. Pray constantly and befriend other like-minded Christians. If you continue to give into temptations, you may need the help of a minister, counselor and/or other prayer partners.
AS YOU PRAY
Are you currently struggling with sexual sins? Despite the power these sins can have over us, you can have victory through the cleansing blood of Jesus and His grace to live each day.
Pray right now: "Father, forgive me and heal me from the sexual sins which have kept me separated from Your love. Help me to recognize and accept the power Jesus offers to restore me to wholeness. Help me to flee from all influences which cause me to sin, and allow me the meekness and humbleness I need to confide in a brother or sister in Christ and be healed. Encourage me and strengthen me with your holy and powerful Word. Amen."
GOD'S WORD ON SEXUAL SIN
"Don't you know that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? Is it right for me to join part of the body of Christ to an immoral woman? No, it isn't! ... Surely you know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God." (1 Cor. 6:15, 19-20).
SCRIPTURES FOR STUDY
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 -- God's will concerning sex
Proverbs 2:12-22 ; 6:20-35 -- The need for God's Word and wisdom
Psalm 51:7 -- Assurance of cleansing
James 1:12 -- Rewards for resisting sexual sin

Masturbation might be sin to you and might not be sin to someone else...the difference is your mind conditioning. That's what many Christians don't know. Condition your mind wrongly, And u will never get of the bondage and its negative effect for life.

elantraceey:
Save yourself from sin consciousness , do you think that if God looks at you and your thoughts and words he'll consider your fast?

There's no God who looks & considers thoughts & words of anybody, otherwise, the christian victims of Boko Haram - who are being maimed, r.aped & sold for 2 shekels of fura da nono in Borno, Adamawa & Yola on daily basis would have been saved by your impotent God - even after Enoch Adeboye & Bishop Abijawara Oyedepo traveled to Maiduguri to anoint their burnt churches & also cursed Boko Haram.

@OP - Pls fire on, your fast is in order.

It is not a sin to have an ere,ction because it is natural , nature has a way of controlling it but it becomes a sin when you cannot controll the direction of the ere,ction.

Then long fasting is inevitable to destroy the carnal nature that has become part and parcel of your life.
A good fast without food or water will destroy this carnal desire embedded in you.

Blood of Jesus!

Masturbation while fasting? Hey God! Pls stop your fasting and go for deliverance. It would have been better if you even had sex.
