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. |

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. |

FrLukas:you are wise so is ejaculation in actual sex different from ejaculation through masturbation? |

People lie a lot and turn everything spiritual... Many doing spirit koko here will still do tonight! I loved and enjoyed masturbating but thank God for me...I stopped when I even didn't know have stopped, I just noticed it's been weeks and haven't done it then I made up my mind to see how long I could do without it and sex... now its been over 7 months and the funny thing is that I still watch porn at times off course the urge comes but I feel a better man now that am in control of my shit. The positive side of it is that I don't get tired like I used to anymore and blessings dey follow me more than before...I rest my case ![]() |

It is not easy. I've drifted a lot too due to this Covid issue. But I applaud the fact that you are working towards solving this crisis. 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. But please try to open up to a RELIABLE person. I wish you all the best |

I thank God mine just stopped, i no longer masturbate again, the moment i was baptised in that water in church that day, a heavy burden left me immediately, my health, relationships, finance,opportunities, everything started coming back...THERE IS HOPE BRO, ACCEPT CHRIST & GET BAPTISED GENUINELY AND SEE HOW YOUR LIFE WILL TURN AROUND.......CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE. |

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" 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 derrick015: |

[Pls do not listen to this advise.....no matter how sugar coated it is .. masturbating and pornographic is evil ....be determined to stop and pray and read ur Bible always reading ur Bible can help take ur mind off ....never allow unecessary thought occupy ur mind..best wishes quote author=hopefulLandlord post=92117746] Bullsheet! 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[/quote] |

nnadychuks: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. |

Not even pastor, fasting, marriage can stop it, have you not seen people marry but still fornicate. You are fighting a spirit that has been long befor you were created. Note christ in me my glory n motorforce to overcome spirit. Do u really have that jesus in u, if yes he speaks and act in a man, stop waiting for miracle it shall cease but jesus in a man does not cease |

DaInferno: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. |

Bro to be frank it only takes the grace of God. I was so obsessed with porn but when I made watching football and reading sports news I gradually lost interest in it. but as for masturbating I tried to no avail till March this year in NCCF house Edo state, God used a the president general NCCF as an instrument since April I haven't masturbated and the thought no longer appeal to me talk more of engaging in it. the same God can do it for you only if u believe. I pray that the grace to overcome be made available to you. Amen |

CalvinGaye: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. |

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 |

Please search and watch this on YouTube: Breaking the yoke of masturbation by Bro Joseph Okechukwu 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] |
