| Should One Pray After Masturbation ? by Xsem(op): 7:33am On Jun 13, 2017 |
I was chatting with my good friend when he popped up this question.I am not much rooted in this religious stuff, so I asked him to give me time so I could ascertain for him. Assuming he masturbates around 5 a. M ,then sleeps off and wakes around 7 a. M.Then wants to say his morning prayer, please is it something advisable or must he stop praying until he sanctifies himself by confession. |

How about praying for forgiveness of the sin you committed at 5 a.m.? That's what I would do if I didn't know that prayer is bullsh*t and mere talking to oneself. ![]() |

Xsem:He should confess the sin he did that's all. Probably he's battling with masturbation, he should seek counsel to enable him over come. There's nothing wrong praying by 7a. m after coming such act because we sin on per secs. He should just ask for forgiveness from Yahweh that's all as there's no repentance in the grave. Yahweh sees the heart and knows when someone truly repent of his sins |

Now, lets look at it this way. Is your friend a believer? because, if he is not, let's just leave it at that. The prayer of a sinner doesn't leave his roof. But if he is and is still struggling with the flesh its a different matter all together. If he was into Fornication heavily before getting saved, but now is self-servicing, he needs to submit that aspect of him for crucifixion. It's like a little babe who is being born, it goes through stages before he becomes an adult. His parents will understand when he poos, pees, and vomits on itself. They'll clean him up. When he gets to an age when he shd use a potty, they'll train him to do so. Once it a while, he'll still poo where he shouldn't, an understanding parent should repeat the instruction rather than punish the kid. It's a gradual process until he knows how messy it is to poo or vomit on one's self. Now, every Christian is a baby to God. Every new convert is a child to God. Apostle Peter calls them 'New born babes who shd be fed with milk'. It doesn't matter how old in age the person maybe or how famous he/she maybe in terms of worldly status, he is still a baby. Now, to your friend and his issue, i have a question for him, is he doing this as an habit or a weakness? The Lord knows the intent (Motives) of our hearts. Our actions are weighed by Him. 1 Samuel:2:3 ... for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. If your friend is going to keep going back to that sin, well, he'll have to keep asking for forgiveness. God will forgive Him, for he said, "If our brother offends us 70×7 in a day and asks for forgiveness, we should forgive. If he says we should forgive, then he will also forgive if we sin a100 times a day and asks Him for forgiveness. But, think. If you were the one in the receiving end, how will you feel if i do something i know hurts you and comes to you and asks for forgiveness, you forgive, i go out from your presence, does it again, returns to you forgiveness, does it 10 times. Shouldn't you take it for affront? We shouldn't take God for granted because he is a Merciful God. Again, tell your friend that sin comes with consequences. Masturbation is a portal for demon possession. When he, by himself opens a door for sex demons to possess him, when he begins to suffer the effect, he'll be the one who will fight for demons to leave him alone. God will forgive him, but when the demons will enter him, God will do nothing, for " He that breaks the hedge, the serpent will bite him". He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Ecclesiastes:10:8 Its like me committing fornication and getting pregnant or infected by HIV, if i ask for forgiveness, He will forgive me, but will He take away the virus or kill the baby for me? No. I will bear the shame of having a bastard child out of Wed or dying a shameful death. The spirit realm works on principles. Break a principle and a chain of reaction begins. |

Prayer is not real. It never ceases to amaze me that so many Nigerians claim to be religiously devout, but are more sexually debaucherous than any non-religious country. ![]() If you are sexually debaucherous then you are not religiously devout! Make up mind fool! I think Nigerians think too much about sex and god. The two most unimaginitive and pointless topics of the modern era. |

analice107:your wisdom is very nice. we musn't take God for granted but do you think if that 'act' is temptation? do the urge come by temptation from the devil or just normall human thingy? |
| Re: Should One Pray After Masturbation ? by analice107: 11:43pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
Jhaytee4all:When we get saved, our sexual urges doesn't get saved along side. It remains active because God wants us to have sex in marriage. If our urges dies, how then are we expected to keep having sex to have plenty children to fulfill his command "Go into the world and multiply?". But, while our urges are intact, he gives us the power of SELF CONTROL. I get urges all the time, but shd i act on them? Temptation is not a sin, acting on it is. If satan sees that you are weak in that aspect, he projects arrows of sexual feelings to you. Satan doesn't make you do anything, he'll throw the corn by suggesting pornograpy, and allow you pick it, but if you walk pass his corn? He won't force you. When we become born again, something happens to our Spirits, not to our flesh. The Lord Jesus used the Wind to describe it. He said, it's like the wind that blows around you, you feel it but can't tell where it's coming from or going, that's how it is when we get born again. Our outer body remains the same when our spirits receives new life and begins to grow. The Spirit of God takes residence inside of us, but we must activate him willingly before he will act by way of helping us over come. Now, Getting born again, is the work of the Holy Spirit, but renewing your mind is your responsibility. Masturbation comes with lust. Everything that make you be tempted to touch, shd be kept away. Porn materials projects jibes of sex into us, so shd be avoided. obscenities shd be avoided too. |
