Guys just read Romans 6, Galatians 5, the devil has no power over you, sin has no power over you. Putting it simply you are the president and the devil is a peasant, if you believe he has power over you, you will submit to him and sin. Once you realize that because of Christs sacrifice you have the spirit of God and have authority over the devil you will walk in freedom. Stop trying to achieve freedom, you are already free. Christ died so that you could be free from sin, start living it. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Bro. I have so much faith in gods power, And I know the devil is such a powerless being, I pray every time to hope I don’t do it again, Even in Jesus’s name, I tell myself that its meaningless and The Holy Spirit within me will rid it of myself. Nothing ever happens. I still have faith but why?
Glory to Jesus! Yes perspective is everything! Understanding what you just mentioned is key to live in victory! We Also need to be filled with the Holy Ghost that makes the difference (Acts 19:2-6).
I've been struggling with this filthy addiction for 25 yrs. It has ruined past relationships and altered my life in such a negative way. Please pray for me and others who want to be free of this sin. In Jesus Christ, amen🙏
I'm paraphrasing but it's something like 'the power in you is greater than the temptation outside of you!' That little voice that suggests going there, rebuke it! Once you crack it; you'll wonder what the heck you were ever thinking! I know you got this coz you've already reached out. Now apply your strength and courage! God bless!
Porn is not just an addiction its a habit. Develop a healthy habit & routine with the lord. It takes time. I highly recommend stacking. So I immediately start the day with God praying then straight into meditating then read my bible then gym or exercise. perform each task leading straight into the next. Ask God to be on your mind every minute & every hour all day. Stay blessed all. lets pray for each other.
Any self medication that changes that accentuates the the rewards chemicals can easily become a addiction as it changes the frontal lobe. See dr Ahmen clinics on during after brain scans.
Decades of this addiction. 6 years trying to quit. Wife left me twice. Took me back after seeing me try so hard but fail. We accepted it as "who I am and just my nature". Was let go deeper and deeper; eventually it became demonic. I was a very hard head. It took me being broken down physically, emotionally, and spiritually to finally go to Jesus with my heart right in desperation. Jesus met me where I was and saved me. Days later; I knew I had to stop the porn. Not my idea by the way; not my idea at all. In fact when it came to me I had to stop; I was so sick and broken that I begged God to let me keep it. I asked why over and over must it go? Jesus told me only this in my mind "Because it comes between you and me". He also did something to my heart and I knew the conversation was over and this was not a ask; it was a command. 7 months clean; through grace of God :)
I'm telling you this because I know how impossible stopping seems. It is like being asked to lift a house with your bare hands. Here is the good news; you get right with Jesus and God will help you. In my case he wanted to see my effort; but if I could only lift 200 lbs; he was willing to lift all of the difference so that I could succeed. He told me early on; you will stumble and you will fall but you will return to the path. Build your relationship with Jesus and God will oversee your development so long as you work in earnest with him.
I am 28 years old I still struggle with pornography and masturbation. It never fails I always feel guilty and shameful afterward. It’s been a few days now and I don’t ever want to go back. I am ready to become free from my addiction! I feel so much better when I don’t do it please pray for me. I know God has the perfect wife out there for me somewhere. God Bless 🙏
God is not dead,, friend. He forgives, he heals, he changes us and keeps us. Look @ Israel: over and over they strayed from God into idolatry (porn is idolatry), ignored the warnings from his prophets ('rising up early and sending'). God always received them back, and promised restoration..tho consequences of the sin yet remain (ex.: David). He is FOR YOU, bro! Simply call out to him in humble faith, he WILL answer!
I am a woman so I am not the right demographic for this video but I’m struggling with porn addiction for the past 12 years. I’m not a heavy consumer by any means but it still taken a hold in my life until now. I thought I could be done with this addiction as my walk with God is going strong but I’m sad to admit I relapsed a day ago. I’m thankful for this video that it encourages me to admit my failings and to receive support from my brothers and sisters in Christ. My heart’s desire is to walk in holiness before the Lord and to overcome this sin completely and I know by the grace of God I can do this
You're not alone, whether you're a man or woman. Please remember that Yeshua loves you, and he WILL be your strength even when you have strength and especially when you don't.
Seek out a godly woman to come along side you. Not a man; in fact, probably no man. That would be wonderful to overcome this sin. May you be blessed as you seek Him.
Whats helping for me is realizing that porn became a LIFESTYLE, not *just* an addiction. Biggest thing i had against porn too was filling my life with other thibgs instead of having nothing to do throughout the day
@@ZechNewman l there my name is David yes please pray for me l am struggling with porn from time to time and also sometimes to my shame l also got involved with using call Girls l live on my own l would love to meet a godly Christian Woman please sir can you pray l have lots of Christian Brothers who are helping me with this thank l will also pray for you In Jesus Christ name Amen amen amen
Lately I have been trying to be a better Christian. I've been praying more and valuing church every week. Tonight I took a step and decided to read the bible for the first time in months. After sitting down, something compelled me to read James for the first time. I didn't know why I was reading it until I reached chapter 5, verse 16: "Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." I was stunned. God returned me to the verse you explained in this video. I had not gave into lust since I watched this video yesterday, and I now know that this is the path to follow. Thank you for the guidance.
Although I’m very happy you are reading your Bible again and turning away from lusting I must kindly point out that in the KJV Bible that verse says confess your faults to one another and not your sins. We confess our sins to God and ask for his forgiveness which only he can grant and not our fellow brothers and sisters in God. God bless and keep reading your Bible and praying, nothing better.
I struggled with porn for many years. I experienced the same thing. Once I confessed it to another brother and my wife, I felt free. I still use them to hold me accountable, but for a few years now, I’ve been free. I still get tempted but it’s no longer a stronghold in my life. Thanks for sharing brother! Keep up the good work!
Glad that verse helps some. I already am open to my wife about my struggles. I’ve tried everything, including putting blocks on my phone in which my wife is the only one who knows the passwords.
I’ve been going strong without porn for almost 6 months now. I’ve confessed everything to the Lord, and he has made me stronger. I never wanna look back, and hopefully I won’t. I’ve been reading the Lords word and praying daily, and it works! Me talking to God everyday to fix me, strengthen me, and heal me is starting to take place now, and of course every now and then I do feel tempted, but I always shove it aside knowing it’s Satan’s Lies. Pray for me, whoever is reading this, I wish to stay strong for the future, and for the rest of eternity. God bless you all❤️
Free for one month now. I almost fell into it again the night before. But praise God I didn't fall completely. I cannot beat this sin of my own strength. Only in His alone. Anyone seeing this can comment and I will pray for you brother and sister. God Bless.
@@naga_zoroSure thing friend,just plead the blood to cover you,When ok Satan tries to get you to give in,just trust in Jesus and say "In the name of Jesus,get lost Devil,no more!!
I've been struggling with this sin for over fifty years !! Lord Jesus help me to over come this !! I thank you JESUS for your help in this in Jesus name AMEN AMEN AMEN
Thank you for this message! I’ve been struggling for a long time and then I escaped it for a while but then fell back into it. The reason I fell back into it was because I started to forsake my first love in Christ. I started to go my own way and pray and rely on God less. This gave an opportunity for the devil to come in and tempt me. Then one sin lead to another all the way to where I am now. I think that one of the most important things to remember is to not live in despair. The devil knows he can’t pluck us out of God’s hand so he tries to make us feel unforgiven and live in despair instead. We are forgiven and redeemed by the holy blood of Jesus! We have been bought with a price and are forever loved! Glory to God! Amen.
Thanks for sharing your story. It's so true. We are a royal priesthood. Righteous and chosen. Praying for you as you reconnect to the vine and put Him first.
Access to sin is so easy. We, as soldiers of Jesus Christ, MUST be receiving the word of God: to change our thinking, to see women as God does, to cleanse our hearts and minds from the filth of this world, to be separated from the unholy.
James 5:16 is the foundation for not only healing but also accountability to keep you from falling and keeping the foundation strong to also help others.
I've been speaking to my pastor about my addiction. I have been more open about it over the past couple years, its not as heavy as it used to be, it used to be a daily battle, now its at most a couple times a week. However that isn't good enough, and I want to end it for good. I recently "gouged my eye" and "cut off my arm" as Jesus said, and I got rid of my smart phone for a basic cell without internet, I enabled blockers on my PC and made it as difficult as possible to bypass. Its not perfect but the less access the better. Some people have told me its weak to just block things and if you are struggling still you aren't praying enough or you aren't right with God, however I believe this is what Jesus meant when He said "And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."

I'm fed up and tired of my sin. I thank you for sharing your advice on it. I don't know how to confess my sin to anyone about it. Most people I know aren't Christian so they won't understand and I don't feel like I can confess it to my family because I'm too ashamed. But I'm over caving into my desires. God bless you for sharing.
I just fell into it a few hours ago. 😕 Sometimes I wish we had on off button. It is a very shameful feeling afterwards. I walk with Christ every day but every so often I slip and I fall back into that sin. Please pray for me brothers.🙏🏼✝️
Thank you for this video friend God bless you. Ive been struggling immensely with sexual desire and pornography, i seem to always go back to it at night around this time. This isnt who i am, i repent and am gonna move forward. I'm gonna tell a friend about this and confess my faults and ask for prayer. And you reading this, please pray for me.
This is actually a really beautiful verse, I'm 15 and this is a battle for me, pray for me, I'm slowly starting to be healed, but continue to pray for me, Thanks.
Dude this video is so right. I've been in the trenches of this sin for a long time and I've found that talking about it with others is truly the only way to motivate yourself to overcome such a challenge. Thank you for this video, Praise God for putting it in my recommendations. Pray for me my brothers, and may the Lord bless you all.
Please pray for me yall. I keep thinking I’m out of it, but I keep falling back into it. Thank you for this video, it was short but not too short, not a dumb 30 minute “no fap” video. Thanks again Update: I’m three days in, and I’m not having sexual thoughts. I haven’t watched porn, and I already feel so good. Pray for me, that this would continue.
I am a teenager, and I have been, sadly, stuck in this circle of sexual sin. I hope that Romans 6 and Galatians 5 will help me. I would have loved to confess to someone, but I don't have anybody, so I confess to all of you. I hope that all of this will help, as I'm sure I was boubd to break from any sin. I ask you to pray for me, as I will pray for you, people...
I am also stuck in this same discusting sin and it has been so hard for me because i have had know one to confess it to so i decided to do it here. I cannot to wait to be free for this sin
Glory to God!!! Thanks for share your testimony. I battled with that too. I felt the pressure and the chains of porn. But I'm free right now in Jesus name. It's a daily fight until the end. Love you from 🇵🇷
In the OT, oppression was external. In NT, oppression is internal. We fighting a spiritual war between our true selves and our untrue selves. If you fall, get back up. A pious life is just as beautiful as a life that is constantly falling down and getting back up. Just have a little heart for your mind, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Put to rest this metaphysical iniquity. Pluck the “thorn” from your mind and live out the rest of your life in peace 🕊️
Prayers for you my brother. I struggle with this as well. This flesh is so weak. And yes the guilt of it is tremendous. I know I'm wrong. And that's the worst part for me. Is deliberately disobeying God. Thank you for this video. God bless again
Reading the Bible helps take away my desire for porn but I still “burn with passion” and it keeps pulling me back to it. I need God to get me on track and give me the wife He has for me. Please pray for me. God bless!
@@ZechNewman Thank you very much! God willing things will get better for me soon. I’ll be praying for you and for God to bless your ministry. May Father God bless you always in Jesus Might Name!
Thank you for your message, this is something that I am struggling with and trying my best to overcome by myself. But I realized that after years of trying by myself that God is the only way. I’m still young but I’m in the process of being willing to listen. Thank you, and God Bless.
ive experienced lust since i was 10 when i was 13 i realized that it was wrong and also discovered anime i replaced lust with anime and that worked, but it only worked for about 6 months after 6 months i fell back into lust and it was only worse than before the first few times i actually wanted to do it, and then i realized i couldnt stop and have been trying to stop ever since whenever i had a crush on someone that motivated me to resist longer, and if i was sick or busy i could also resist longer, but i have never been able to resist longer than a week i became a christian about 11 months ago around my 18th birthday and jesus has definitely helped me to better resist and i have been freed from other sins but i still struggle with lust i try to read the bible any time i feel tempted and it does help but there are other times that i get tempted and i dont have it in me to read the bible i want to be freed from this i want to be obedient to god and faithful to my girlfriend
Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I'm praying for you now! Our mind, when used to viewing pornography goes there quickly. Accountability with a community, confession, memorizing scripture (God renews our mind with His word), and prayer will help!
Anime is very bad for the Christian lifestyle, all of it has sexual themes pretty much constantly and we all know how the women are drawn in them. If you watch anime, you WILL fail to stay away from porn. There is nothing Christian about MOST of them, less than 1% would actually be safe to watch. If you want to be freed, you would stop watching anime. If you dont, you will continue to watch it and tell yourself that its not the reason but my friend it is the reason im 31 used to have same problem.
@@benkenobi8816 thats just not accurate at all you have not seen much anime if you think that the amount of anime that are not safe for me as a christian is definitely less than 15% and i completely avoid those
@@benkenobi8816 looking at the database on myanimelist if you exclude hentai because i would not consider that to count as anime and you wont find it on streaming services and also i would obviously never watch it and you also exclude kids anime because theres just too many of them and you can assume that 99% of them would not have any sexual themes thats leaves 18,780 anime now im going to also exclude the ones that dont have a score that leaves 14,452 anime 807 anime labeled as ecchi i am going to double that to 1614 because a lot of anime that should be labeled as ecchi arent my original estimation was that about 1 in 8 anime were ecchi just based on my personal experience of choosing completely random anime to watch (now i make sure its not ecchi, gay, or demonic before watching) i raised that estimation to 15% to give you the benefit of the doubt but according to these calculations 11.2% of anime are ecchi, closer to my original estimation the vast majority of anime should be safe for all christians who have struggled with lust however the line between safe and not safe is different from person to person
Im Mahesh and doing my research work Im falling again and again I wanted to love and follow Jesus But i couldn't do it Im living a life in hypocrisy and am big hypocrite Please Pray for me Sometimes im asking God that if He would have taken my free will so that i would be free from this struggle. Please Pray for my healing
I’m 22 and in this cycle right now and it’s terrible, I’ll ask Christ for forgiveness each night but I feel like I’m failing him cause I just keep going back to the lustful ways. Please pray for me
Bro, you are not alone. I'm 22 as well and have been going back and forth with this for 5 years. I've decided I'd quit again today and take it much more seriously. We're in this fight together. Never give up and you WILL remove it from your life.
I'm a born again Christian and I've been in the same situation of being addicted to pornography and like you said I went to my leader in our church and confess to him and it was like a weight of shoulders God bless my brother Amen and Amen 🙏 🙏
@sevendyseven4090 0 seconds ago I am where you are Nikeified, and this is currently my go to : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is IN you, which ye have of God, and >> ye are not your own?
I am in the same struggle and it has been affecting my physical and spiritual life. Am scared of what the Christian community in my environment will say. But I want to be free from this sexual sin. Pls pray for me
I'm struggling with the same addiction to watching porn and masturbation. I've tried all ways to quit for around 12 years now, but to no avail, I still go back. Coming through this video has sparked a change inside me, and I think this is it, guys. So put me in your prayers this being day one, I know with time I'll conquer this demonic spirit and be free from the chains of ponography and masturbation. Thanks for the video and God bless you all.
I found freedom in this area after learning i cant rely on my own self for freedom. I began to ask the Holy Spirit every morning to come in and give me the strength to overcome my own flesh And then give me the strength to overcome the world around me. Its a daily battle. I also committed to daily bible study first thing in the morning. Both of these things together have helped me overcome my addiction.
@@ZechNewman thanks for the reply, most comments on you tube are negative. I probably should add that addiction to porn is like an addiction to alcohol. Through Jesus any addiction can be overcome; 2 corinthians 5:17-19 But the focus is verse 17. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So everyone that desires to be free can be free; but only through Jesus. We cant do it alone. And what you said is so true, you cant “white knuckle” your way through it. I struggled so many years and even after marriage, by Gods grace we made it through and our family is still intact. Just like you i want to encourage anyone struggling in this area, that they can be free. Jesus is a sin breaker, more than that he is a life giver, and a restorer of all the things i tried to destroy through my sin and pride. Sorry so long, love you bro in Christ! Keep your hands on the plow and don’t look back. Others need to hear what you have to say.
I've been secretly stuck in porn as coping mechanism for too many years now, and every time I relapse, I want to give up. I doesn't help that my family and I been in dire straits for just as long. Please pray for me.
Thank you for this video brother I've been struggling for a really long time. I'd appreciate it if you could pray for me. I told God I wanted to leave this sin and I want to keep that promise
Thanks. I knew this, but I needed to hear someone who has gone through it say it. Now to find the person. My fear is rejection and ridicule. I know that's not right, but I need to get out of my head and do what I know needs to be done. I want to be free from this. I've been struggling with this since 6th grade, and I'm 59 now. I'm beyond ready for it to be part of my permanent past. Thanks again, and may God bless you!
Thank u so much for ur openness!!!! I went thru the same thing and have been approached with confession. Thank u for the guidance of scripture!!! God is definitely using u brother!! Keep on keepin on!!
Hey Zech, thank you for this video! Porn and masturbation have been a big issue in my life too (since my early teens..).. /I relapsed big-time yesterday but I am going to take up the fight again because your video encouraged me anew! Lateron I am going to a worship and prayer meeting; I have a brother there with whom I can talk and pray! Here -begins- continues my path to freedom!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!
Guys I’ve been struggling with porn and smoking. But praise the Lord for he gives me new strength everyday! I was in a cycle of falling back into that, but in Christ we are a new creation and sin has no power over you! You just have to change your mind and decide you don’t want to do that anymore. Yes the temptations and thoughts might still come but if you fall 7 times you get up 8. In him we have the victory!
Thank you for sharing this. This is really a strong grip that shackles us. Been struggling with porn on and off. Its a continuous process. May Jesus give us the strength and wash us white as snow again. 1 John 4:4. 'You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.' Amen. Please keep us all who are struggling with this in prayer. Porn can really be destructive,
I just did it just a few minutes ago and the amount of guilt I feel is tremendous. I even feel bad that despite that, God still loves me and forgives for it for as long as I repent and apologize. I want to stop, I'm tired of this but I know that through Christ who gives us strength there is nothing we can't do, we can overcome this and remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful, he will never let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he will also provide you with a way out so that you can endure it.
What freed me from this addiction was the revelation that my flesh will never change. I will ALWAYS be a porn addict (among other things). And God does NOT expect me to change. What God expects is that once I realize I can not change, I need to embrace the NEW life that He places within all His children the moment they believe. There is an old man and a new man. Using the old man to try and change NEVER works. Transformation arrives when a believer embraces the new life that is within them and that life will operate in its own divine power.
I’ve been saved numerous times but I always find myself lacking of self control when it really matters. I’m so sick of it. I feel so ashamed of myself. Please pray for me 🥲
Thanks for sharing. Im praying for you now! At moments of low self-control, these are the 4 steps I follow. I hope it helps: th-cam.com/video/kEcUeva6KBw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks SO MUCH dear brother 😊 The Lord’s love + grace be with you His hope + peace, in Life, and beyond the grave Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊 Warmest Love + blessings friends 😊
Amen and amen, thank you for this message. Please know this is what I needed to hear, and your time is not wasted doing this that this will help me be closer to God.
Thank God for guiding me here to this video and for using you to help others in their journey to become a better Christian and a better son of God! Im struggling not with pornography, but with my relationship, because I dont feel good having relations with my girlfriend, but as she is not a Christian, she wouldnt accept to wait until we get marry... we are togheter for more than 4 years now and planning to get marry, but we still live with ours parents and it would be complicated to get marry right now... I dont know how to proceed because I dont want to do something contrary to God's Word, and doesnt want to lose my relationship... Any reply you Zech or any other brother or sister in Christ would be super appreciated! God bless you all!! Much love ❤
I would seriously ask God whether you want to be united with, share your most intimate relationship with, and raise children with someone who has rejected God over pleasing themselves. I'm sure you have read the verse about not being unequally joined with unbelievers. Should not this verse apply to the most important human relationship you can have on this earth? It is always 1000000 easier to be dragged down yourself, than to pull the other person upward. I'm sorry if this came across as too strong, but can you seriously ask God to show you his will, no matter how much it hurts?
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the Bible verse. Also for your transparency. That is some much needed counsel and it's good, straight out of God's word. 🙏😊 God bless.
Thanks for sharing this is an area where there is to little shared. I understand it is fear and shame that stop many from confessing and seeking help. I walked this way for many years, God delivered years ago and now I’m looking to help others get the victory in this area. Again thanks for sharing and I pray you will continue to share in this battle to see others free.
As someone who has struggled with this for many years, this is what I needed to hear. Thanks for this! Prayers for protection and guidance and dependence on the Lord would be appreciated! Also, I agree with everyone that has mentioned boredom can lead to this sin. Definitely has happened to me before. Finding good things to keep you occupied that keep you focused on God and glorifying Him is the best way to keep yourself from stumbling.
Yes I confess that I struggle with masturbation and p*rn. Please pray for my healing and freedom because deep in my heart this blocks my blessings God has for me. I have felt shame and embarassment sharing and bringing this to the light for many years but this video truly moved me to ask and reach out for help. The enemy has made me think that asking for help is weakness but that's a lie, I've also had fear somebody will make me bad. Thank you for this video and God bless!
Please pray for me to be closer to God and to abstain from fleshly desires and violation of my body. Since I was a teenager, I've struggled on and off for years with lustful thoughts and pornography. I am weak, but I know that our God is strong. Praise be to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
amazing how i got here....the Lord led me to a certain scripture too that i believe is a victorious one and one that helps me overcome this battle .....its Romans 8:6 .... To be carnal minded is death, but to he spiritually minded is life and peace. ....it hit me so hard today and ive been praying alot lately for the Lord to help me overcome this once and for all....the Lord is good....he shows you your iniquities and we are reminded of what Christ did on the cross for each and every single one of us....thank you Jesus....i appreciate this video brother ....i will keep everyone in prayer that is struggling out there with all aspects of life on our journey with the Lord....be blessed brother! 🙏🏻🫂❤️
Thank you! I live in this addiction for about 6 years and I tried many times to stop but I couldn't. Now with the Power of Jesus Christ I will be free and shall be you! Thank you Jesus! AMEN!
God bless you, and Im glad youre not too ashamed to admit this is a problem. For me it wasnt porn it was alcohol. Im still struggling but every day I say Yes to God and no to alcohol is a small victory.
I took a step class at my church years ago, and it was for hatred towards people, but because of that, I learned a whole bunch of ways to look at it through the Bible to help me overcome not only that but pornography too. God is good!😊
The lord is really speaking to me. I have very similar story to this man. I recently read James because, I just had a need to. And I remember seeing that verse and saying, “I should do that”. But, I never really got to it because I was scared what other were going to think of me. But I now just planned to meet with a brother in Christ!!!
I too struggle with this then learned that we need to stop living in flesh and accept the lord to start livining in the spirit cause flesh is born in sin meaning that when there is flesh there is sin so my advice for you would be to open the door of your heart to let the lord in so that you live in spirit meaning that the lord will live in you and wherever the lord is sin won't have his way there😁🙌❤
I'm 68 years old and I believe near the end of my life on earth. I have struggled with pornography since I was 13 years old.I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at 20 years old but pornogophy has stood in my way to any real relationship with God The shame and pain has at times been overwhelming. I have no one I trust to share this with, so I am attempting to trust you with it after hearing your message. Please pray for me Thank you, In Jesus name
Thank you for sharing this. I needed this. I also struggle with these addiction. I tried many things but i keep falling back to it. Please pray for me too.
I've been put in the struggle of masturbation since I was 11. I have tried everything from going off my phone for a while, to trying to ignore it. Seeing the verse from James 5:16 is something I want to do, I want to tell my parents but confessing a sin like that is awkward and scary to see their reaction. I'm asking today my brothers and sisters of Christ, to pray for me in hopes of having a new will, a new thought process. And hopefully one day confess the reality to my parents that I've been sinning in the same house we have been living together for years. Amen
Your phone has your name associated with it. So consider this... a phone company and anyone else they share data with are compiling an endless record of every video you have ever viewed. Even an atheist doesn't like that! They are watching what you watch.
Awesome testimony, and transparency... it all starts with the desire to not grieve the Holy Spirit, if that isn't there, then we have a deeper issue. Put up the desire is there, and we are falling into condemnation through continued guilt because of relapses, etcetera. Definitely getting someone else into it and prayers one thing, but a lot of it has to do with being productive... If your mind is on something that keeps your mind doing something, and we're not just talking about idle productivity, you know, just being busy for the sake of being busy, because? But genuinely something that's asking us, that does much to restart the faculties, that's grace - but we have to meet to the grace with the dedication to stay the course. That requires discipline, and this is where many believers who are trapped in sexual sin run into issues, spiritual discipline.
@@ZechNewman any consideration along prayer is cheerfully, and humbly appreciated. Thinking we can beat this thing on our own is delusion, Satan is crafty and incredibly subtle, he stands in accusation and the Lord will allow things if he's trying to move you somewhere, but if this is a stronghold, we created it. I just believe this is a stronghold - thank you so much, and continued prayer is greatly appreciated.
Thank you brother, it is a very powerful strong hole ,it will take time ,we cannot do this on our own, but God knows and I believe has long has we keep asking God for is help and forgive me , keeping our eye on Jesus is the key to get set free,I got save at 52 years old ,I have been free from pornography for 20 years, I just recently fell back into, and still have a very difficult time to get out off it. Need prayer, I have mentioned to a few trust friends, but I am keeping my eye on Jesus every day, spending 30 to 40 minutes to listen to daily Jesus Devotional , and i needed to pray much more , please do not give up.i believe God allows us to go true certain difficult situations, to recognize that how much we needed Him, thank you ,Ferdinand
Guys just read Romans 6, Galatians 5, the devil has no power over you, sin has no power over you. Putting it simply you are the president and the devil is a peasant, if you believe he has power over you, you will submit to him and sin. Once you realize that because of Christs sacrifice you have the spirit of God and have authority over the devil you will walk in freedom. Stop trying to achieve freedom, you are already free. Christ died so that you could be free from sin, start living it. Let me know if you have any questions :)
I appreciate your heart in wanting to help others. Have a blessed day today 🙏
Amen this is so true Hosea 4:6
Bro. I have so much faith in gods power, And I know the devil is such a powerless being, I pray every time to hope I don’t do it again, Even in Jesus’s name, I tell myself that its meaningless and The Holy Spirit within me will rid it of myself. Nothing ever happens. I still have faith but why?
Glory to Jesus! Yes perspective is everything! Understanding what you just mentioned is key to live in victory! We Also need to be filled with the Holy Ghost that makes the difference (Acts 19:2-6).
Thanks I'm going to share this
I've been struggling with this filthy addiction for 25 yrs. It has ruined past relationships and altered my life in such a negative way. Please pray for me and others who want to be free of this sin. In Jesus Christ, amen🙏
Praying for you!
Praying for you. The struggle is real
Than you, Lord Bless!
Prayers for you.
I'm paraphrasing but it's something like 'the power in you is greater than the temptation outside of you!'
That little voice that suggests going there, rebuke it!
Once you crack it; you'll wonder what the heck you were ever thinking!
I know you got this coz you've already reached out.
Now apply your strength and courage!
God bless!
Porn is not just an addiction its a habit. Develop a healthy habit & routine with the lord. It takes time. I highly recommend stacking. So I immediately start the day with God praying then straight into meditating then read my bible then gym or exercise. perform each task leading straight into the next. Ask God to be on your mind every minute & every hour all day. Stay blessed all. lets pray for each other.
So true. Thanks for sharing
Hallelujah 🙌🔥
Amen
Amen, true words of wisdom …
Any self medication that changes that accentuates the the rewards chemicals can easily become a addiction as it changes the frontal lobe. See dr Ahmen clinics on during after brain scans.
I’m in this very same struggle and I’m sick and tired of it. Frustrating and furious I want to be free of this sexual sin 😢
Praying for you now.
@@ZechNewman 🙏🏽 Thankyou
Decades of this addiction. 6 years trying to quit. Wife left me twice. Took me back after seeing me try so hard but fail. We accepted it as "who I am and just my nature". Was let go deeper and deeper; eventually it became demonic. I was a very hard head. It took me being broken down physically, emotionally, and spiritually to finally go to Jesus with my heart right in desperation. Jesus met me where I was and saved me. Days later; I knew I had to stop the porn. Not my idea by the way; not my idea at all. In fact when it came to me I had to stop; I was so sick and broken that I begged God to let me keep it. I asked why over and over must it go? Jesus told me only this in my mind "Because it comes between you and me". He also did something to my heart and I knew the conversation was over and this was not a ask; it was a command. 7 months clean; through grace of God :)
I'm telling you this because I know how impossible stopping seems. It is like being asked to lift a house with your bare hands. Here is the good news; you get right with Jesus and God will help you. In my case he wanted to see my effort; but if I could only lift 200 lbs; he was willing to lift all of the difference so that I could succeed. He told me early on; you will stumble and you will fall but you will return to the path. Build your relationship with Jesus and God will oversee your development so long as you work in earnest with him.
Praise God. Thanks for sharing!
I am 28 years old I still struggle with pornography and masturbation. It never fails I always feel guilty and shameful afterward. It’s been a few days now and I don’t ever want to go back. I am ready to become free from my addiction! I feel so much better when I don’t do it please pray for me. I know God has the perfect wife out there for me somewhere.
God Bless 🙏

God is not dead,, friend. He forgives, he heals, he changes us and keeps us. Look @ Israel: over and over they strayed from God into idolatry (porn is idolatry), ignored the warnings from his prophets ('rising up early and sending'). God always received them back, and promised restoration..tho consequences of the sin yet remain (ex.: David). He is FOR YOU, bro! Simply call out to him in humble faith, he WILL answer!

I am a woman so I am not the right demographic for this video but I’m struggling with porn addiction for the past 12 years. I’m not a heavy consumer by any means but it still taken a hold in my life until now. I thought I could be done with this addiction as my walk with God is going strong but I’m sad to admit I relapsed a day ago. I’m thankful for this video that it encourages me to admit my failings and to receive support from my brothers and sisters in Christ. My heart’s desire is to walk in holiness before the Lord and to overcome this sin completely and I know by the grace of God I can do this
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your transparency. You are welcome here. I'm praying for you, sister in Christ.
You're not alone, whether you're a man or woman. Please remember that Yeshua loves you, and he WILL be your strength even when you have strength and especially when you don't.
Seek out a godly woman to come along side you. Not a man; in fact, probably no man.
That would be wonderful to overcome this sin. May you be blessed as you seek Him.
@@ZechNewman thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it
@@duanemcdaniel9642 Thank you, will keep this in mind
Whats helping for me is realizing that porn became a LIFESTYLE, not *just* an addiction. Biggest thing i had against porn too was filling my life with other thibgs instead of having nothing to do throughout the day
Thanks for sharing, Jake. I definitely think bordem adds to the draw. Glad your finding victory!

Lately I have been trying to be a better Christian. I've been praying more and valuing church every week. Tonight I took a step and decided to read the bible for the first time in months. After sitting down, something compelled me to read James for the first time. I didn't know why I was reading it until I reached chapter 5, verse 16: "Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." I was stunned. God returned me to the verse you explained in this video.
I had not gave into lust since I watched this video yesterday, and I now know that this is the path to follow. Thank you for the guidance.
@treypoling that's so awesome! God is so cool, and His word is alive. Thanks so much for sharing your testimony of God's guiding hand.
Although I’m very happy you are reading your Bible again and turning away from lusting I must kindly point out that in the KJV Bible that verse says confess your faults to one another and not your sins. We confess our sins to God and ask for his forgiveness which only he can grant and not our fellow brothers and sisters in God. God bless and keep reading your Bible and praying, nothing better.
I struggled with porn for many years. I experienced the same thing. Once I confessed it to another brother and my wife, I felt free. I still use them to hold me accountable, but for a few years now, I’ve been free. I still get tempted but it’s no longer a stronghold in my life. Thanks for sharing brother! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your testimony.
We need Strength. That's found in Joy and that is found in the Lord. He is our buckler and shield, helmet of salvation etc.
@@StuStevens-rn7rb Amen!
Glad that verse helps some. I already am open to my wife about my struggles. I’ve tried everything, including putting blocks on my phone in which my wife is the only one who knows the passwords.
@MountainEagle77 I'm praying for you brother 🙏
I’ve been going strong without porn for almost 6 months now. I’ve confessed everything to the Lord, and he has made me stronger. I never wanna look back, and hopefully I won’t. I’ve been reading the Lords word and praying daily, and it works! Me talking to God everyday to fix me, strengthen me, and heal me is starting to take place now, and of course every now and then I do feel tempted, but I always shove it aside knowing it’s Satan’s Lies. Pray for me, whoever is reading this, I wish to stay strong for the future, and for the rest of eternity. God bless you all❤️

You can do. You are stronger than you think. Try it you can do it. Trust God, nothing is impossible with God.
Thank you for this message! I’ve been struggling for a long time and then I escaped it for a while but then fell back into it. The reason I fell back into it was because I started to forsake my first love in Christ. I started to go my own way and pray and rely on God less. This gave an opportunity for the devil to come in and tempt me. Then one sin lead to another all the way to where I am now. I think that one of the most important things to remember is to not live in despair. The devil knows he can’t pluck us out of God’s hand so he tries to make us feel unforgiven and live in despair instead. We are forgiven and redeemed by the holy blood of Jesus! We have been bought with a price and are forever loved! Glory to God! Amen.

Access to sin is so easy. We, as soldiers of Jesus Christ, MUST be receiving the word of God: to change our thinking, to see women as God does, to cleanse our hearts and minds from the filth of this world, to be separated from the unholy.
Amen!
James 5:16 is the foundation for not only healing but also accountability to keep you from falling and keeping the foundation strong to also help others.
So true.
I've been speaking to my pastor about my addiction. I have been more open about it over the past couple years, its not as heavy as it used to be, it used to be a daily battle, now its at most a couple times a week. However that isn't good enough, and I want to end it for good. I recently "gouged my eye" and "cut off my arm" as Jesus said, and I got rid of my smart phone for a basic cell without internet, I enabled blockers on my PC and made it as difficult as possible to bypass. Its not perfect but the less access the better. Some people have told me its weak to just block things and if you are struggling still you aren't praying enough or you aren't right with God, however I believe this is what Jesus meant when He said "And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."
@@MrArch777 I agree. I'm proud of you for making the choice to close the door to that temptation!
This was a really good decision, good call.
May I ask what blockers you installed on your PC? I've tried to find some with no real luck. Thank you brother. God bless.
@@Disciple_2819 I installed Cold Turkey Blocker, you can lock websites for certain amounts of time. I locked my blocks and hit lock for 13 years and after that you can't disable it. It will have you install a browser extension where it has a feature where if you disable the browser extension after a certain amount of seconds it will force close the browser until you re enable it.
I used to struggle for 8 yrs, 12-18 and now 2 months of not looking at it and do not have any desires of it.
That's awesome!
I'm fed up and tired of my sin. I thank you for sharing your advice on it. I don't know how to confess my sin to anyone about it. Most people I know aren't Christian so they won't understand and I don't feel like I can confess it to my family because I'm too ashamed. But I'm over caving into my desires. God bless you for sharing.
Praying for you and that you find community.
@@ZechNewman thank you brother.
Hi bro. Be bold and talk to JESUS in prayers. Find out a brethern in your town and confess it by your mouth. You will get your delivrance.

In the OT, oppression was external. In NT, oppression is internal. We fighting a spiritual war between our true selves and our untrue selves. If you fall, get back up.

ive experienced lust since i was 10
when i was 13 i realized that it was wrong and also discovered anime
i replaced lust with anime and that worked, but it only worked for about 6 months
after 6 months i fell back into lust and it was only worse than before
the first few times i actually wanted to do it, and then i realized i couldnt stop and have been trying to stop ever since
whenever i had a crush on someone that motivated me to resist longer, and if i was sick or busy i could also resist longer, but i have never been able to resist longer than a week
i became a christian about 11 months ago around my 18th birthday and jesus has definitely helped me to better resist and i have been freed from other sins but i still struggle with lust
i try to read the bible any time i feel tempted and it does help but there are other times that i get tempted and i dont have it in me to read the bible
i want to be freed from this
i want to be obedient to god and faithful to my girlfriend
Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I'm praying for you now! Our mind, when used to viewing pornography goes there quickly. Accountability with a community, confession, memorizing scripture (God renews our mind with His word), and prayer will help!
Anime is very bad for the Christian lifestyle, all of it has sexual themes pretty much constantly and we all know how the women are drawn in them. If you watch anime, you WILL fail to stay away from porn. There is nothing Christian about MOST of them, less than 1% would actually be safe to watch. If you want to be freed, you would stop watching anime. If you dont, you will continue to watch it and tell yourself that its not the reason but my friend it is the reason im 31 used to have same problem.
@@benkenobi8816 thats just not accurate at all
you have not seen much anime if you think that
the amount of anime that are not safe for me as a christian is definitely less than 15%
and i completely avoid those
@@benkenobi8816 looking at the database on myanimelist
if you exclude hentai because i would not consider that to count as anime and you wont find it on streaming services and also i would obviously never watch it
and you also exclude kids anime because theres just too many of them and you can assume that 99% of them would not have any sexual themes
thats leaves 18,780 anime
now im going to also exclude the ones that dont have a score
that leaves 14,452 anime
807 anime labeled as ecchi
i am going to double that to 1614 because a lot of anime that should be labeled as ecchi arent
my original estimation was that about 1 in 8 anime were ecchi just based on my personal experience of choosing completely random anime to watch (now i make sure its not ecchi, gay, or demonic before watching)
i raised that estimation to 15% to give you the benefit of the doubt
but according to these calculations 11.2% of anime are ecchi, closer to my original estimation
the vast majority of anime should be safe for all christians who have struggled with lust
however the line between safe and not safe is different from person to person
Struggling with this now. Will work on it. Thank you for the instruction
You got this!

I found freedom in this area after learning i cant rely on my own self for freedom. I began to ask the Holy Spirit every morning to come in and give me the strength to overcome my own flesh
And then give me the strength to overcome the world around me.
Its a daily battle. I also committed to daily bible study first thing in the morning. Both of these things together have helped me overcome my addiction.
So true! Thanks for sharing your testimony.
@@ZechNewman
thanks for the reply, most comments on you tube are negative. I probably should add that addiction to porn is like an addiction to alcohol.
Through Jesus any addiction can be overcome; 2 corinthians 5:17-19
But the focus is verse 17.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
So everyone that desires to be free can be free; but only through Jesus. We cant do it alone. And what you said is so true, you cant “white knuckle” your way through it.
I struggled so many years and even after marriage, by Gods grace we made it through and our family is still intact. Just like you i want to encourage anyone struggling in this area, that they can be free.
Jesus is a sin breaker, more than that he is a life giver, and a restorer of all the things i tried to destroy through my sin and pride.
Sorry so long, love you bro in Christ!
Keep your hands on the plow and don’t look back. Others need to hear what you have to say.
I've been secretly stuck in porn as coping mechanism for too many years now, and every time I relapse, I want to give up. I doesn't help that my family and I been in dire straits for just as long. Please pray for me.

I can only see strong people who can overcome this act in the comments section. You have just confessed to people.God will surely help you. ❤❤❤
What a great encouragement. Thank you:)
Thankyou, I learn much from you. The Lord will bless your ministry 🙏
Thanks, Terry! I'm praying for you 🙏
Thank u so much for ur openness!!!! I went thru the same thing and have been approached with confession. Thank u for the guidance of scripture!!! God is definitely using u brother!!
Keep on keepin on!!
Thank you, Joey!
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Pour over the scriptures, pray, pray, pray…,but also men, read the power of SR. It’s motivating
Yes, prayer and reading the Bible is so crucial to fill our minds with His word.
Hey Zech, thank you for this video!
Porn and masturbation have been a big issue in my life too (since my early teens..)..
/I relapsed big-time yesterday but I am going to take up the fight again because your video encouraged me anew!
Lateron I am going to a worship and prayer meeting; I have a brother there with whom I can talk and pray!
Here -begins- continues my path to freedom!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!
Thank you Johnny! I love the perspective you are walking in and I'm praying for you!
Guys I’ve been struggling with porn and smoking. But praise the Lord for he gives me new strength everyday! I was in a cycle of falling back into that, but in Christ we are a new creation and sin has no power over you! You just have to change your mind and decide you don’t want to do that anymore. Yes the temptations and thoughts might still come but if you fall 7 times you get up 8.
In him we have the victory!
Tenacity 😀 failing forward is a great mindset
Thank you for sharing this.
This is really a strong grip that shackles us.
Been struggling with porn on and off.
Its a continuous process.
May Jesus give us the strength and wash us white as snow again.
1 John 4:4. 'You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.'
Amen.
Please keep us all who are struggling with this in prayer. Porn can really be destructive,
Praying!
Im 55 and have struggled since being 12. I became a committed Christian 10 years ago but the urge still calls now and then.
Thanks for sharing, John. I'm praying for you 🙏
I just did it just a few minutes ago and the amount of guilt I feel is tremendous. I even feel bad that despite that, God still loves me and forgives for it for as long as I repent and apologize. I want to stop, I'm tired of this but I know that through Christ who gives us strength there is nothing we can't do, we can overcome this and remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 that no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful, he will never let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he will also provide you with a way out so that you can endure it.
Thank you for sharing. I'm praying for you now 🙏
What freed me from this addiction was the revelation that my flesh will never change. I will ALWAYS be a porn addict (among other things). And God does NOT expect me to change. What God expects is that once I realize I can not change, I need to embrace the NEW life that He places within all His children the moment they believe. There is an old man and a new man. Using the old man to try and change NEVER works. Transformation arrives when a believer embraces the new life that is within them and that life will operate in its own divine power.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 Amen. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been saved numerous times but I always find myself lacking of self control when it really matters. I’m so sick of it. I feel so ashamed of myself. Please pray for me 🥲
Thanks for sharing. Im praying for you now! At moments of low self-control, these are the 4 steps I follow. I hope it helps: th-cam.com/video/kEcUeva6KBw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, brother. Your testimony have greatly help me in the Lord Jesus name amen.
@@user-fi7dp8mm6e so glad to hear! I'm praying for you 🙏
I believe when God blessess it exceeds beyond my expectation. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his
children
Amen!
This brother almost described my exact story. Even the verse that he used was pivotal in my life that convicted me to confess. God is good!
Praise God!
Thanks SO MUCH dear brother 😊
The Lord’s love + grace be with you
His hope + peace, in Life, and beyond the grave
Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊
Warmest Love + blessings friends 😊
Thank you! Blessings to you 🙏
Amen and amen, thank you for this message. Please know this is what I needed to hear, and your time is not wasted doing this that this will help me be closer to God.
@somethingsomeone3100 thank you! Praying for you:)
Thank God for guiding me here to this video and for using you to help others in their journey to become a better Christian and a better son of God!
Im struggling not with pornography, but with my relationship, because I dont feel good having relations with my girlfriend, but as she is not a Christian, she wouldnt accept to wait until we get marry... we are togheter for more than 4 years now and planning to get marry, but we still live with ours parents and it would be complicated to get marry right now... I dont know how to proceed because I dont want to do something contrary to God's Word, and doesnt want to lose my relationship... Any reply you Zech or any other brother or sister in Christ would be super appreciated!
God bless you all!! Much love ❤
I'm praying for you. It's hard when we love someone, and we feel conviction from the word and the Holy Spirit.
@@ZechNewman Thats right, thank you! ❤
I would seriously ask God whether you want to be united with, share your most intimate relationship with, and raise children with someone who has rejected God over pleasing themselves. I'm sure you have read the verse about not being unequally joined with unbelievers. Should not this verse apply to the most important human relationship you can have on this earth?
It is always 1000000 easier to be dragged down yourself, than to pull the other person upward.
I'm sorry if this came across as too strong, but can you seriously ask God to show you his will, no matter how much it hurts?
Interesting .. it's important to share with the right people to help us be on thevright track. Thank you.
Totally true. Super important it's that right people.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the Bible verse. Also for your transparency. That is some much needed counsel and it's good, straight out of God's word. 🙏😊 God bless.
@JoseTorres-lf8bu Thanks, brother. I appreciate you 🙏
Thanks for sharing this is an area where there is to little shared. I understand it is fear and shame that stop many from confessing and seeking help. I walked this way for many years, God delivered years ago and now I’m looking to help others get the victory in this area.
Again thanks for sharing and I pray you will continue to share in this battle to see others free.
That's awesome!
As someone who has struggled with this for many years, this is what I needed to hear. Thanks for this! Prayers for protection and guidance and dependence on the Lord would be appreciated!
Also, I agree with everyone that has mentioned boredom can lead to this sin. Definitely has happened to me before. Finding good things to keep you occupied that keep you focused on God and glorifying Him is the best way to keep yourself from stumbling.
Praying for you!
Thank you!
To all the people in the comment and you too kind sir for posting this video, thank you from all my heart. I love you all. Thank you
@@newtboss8647 ❤️ Back at ya.
Yes I confess that I struggle with masturbation and p*rn. Please pray for my healing and freedom because deep in my heart this blocks my blessings God has for me. I have felt shame and embarassment sharing and bringing this to the light for many years but this video truly moved me to ask and reach out for help. The enemy has made me think that asking for help is weakness but that's a lie, I've also had fear somebody will make me bad. Thank you for this video and God bless!
Yes it is a lie, that many including myself fall for. Praying for you!
I put a link to this video in my channel cause I feel like everyone needs this video
@user-cf5cs8vs5h Thanks, Jack. I really appreciate it. Praying for you, brother 🙏
Thank you and your welcome
I'm also trapped in this sin. Everytime i promise myself to try harder to leave this habit but i couldn't .plz pray for me ❤
I'm praying for you now 🙏
Thank you Jesus , for your messenger for all to hear.
@kevincrain7499 Thanks, Kevin!
Please pray for me to be closer to God and to abstain from fleshly desires and violation of my body. Since I was a teenager, I've struggled on and off for years with lustful thoughts and pornography. I am weak, but I know that our God is strong. Praise be to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
@Vaibrato1 I'm praying for you! He is strong in our weakness!
Iam struggling with the same sin too, pray for me!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm praying for you now 🙏
amazing how i got here....the Lord led me to a certain scripture too that i believe is a victorious one and one that helps me overcome this battle .....its Romans 8:6 ....
To be carnal minded is death,
but to he spiritually minded is life and peace. ....it hit me so hard today and ive been praying alot lately for the Lord to help me overcome this once and for all....the Lord is good....he shows you your iniquities and we are reminded of what Christ did on the cross for each and every single one of us....thank you Jesus....i appreciate this video brother ....i will keep everyone in prayer that is struggling out there with all aspects of life on our journey with the Lord....be blessed brother! 🙏🏻🫂❤️
I love how God is so active in our lives and gives us what we need when we need it. I'm praying for you! 🙏
Thank you! I live in this addiction for about 6 years and I tried many times to stop but I couldn't. Now with the Power of Jesus Christ I will be free and shall be you! Thank you Jesus! AMEN!
You got this!
God bless you, and Im glad youre not too ashamed to admit this is a problem.
For me it wasnt porn it was alcohol. Im still struggling but every day I say Yes to God and no to alcohol is a small victory.
@joea.9969 praise God! Shame took a long time to overcome, and I still struggle with it:)
I took a step class at my church years ago, and it was for hatred towards people, but because of that, I learned a whole bunch of ways to look at it through the Bible to help me overcome not only that but pornography too. God is good!😊
Praise God! Thanks for sharing Josh.
The lord is really speaking to me. I have very similar story to this man. I recently read James because, I just had a need to. And I remember seeing that verse and saying, “I should do that”. But, I never really got to it because I was scared what other were going to think of me. But I now just planned to meet with a brother in Christ!!!
Praying for you as you confess. I know it's scary!
I too struggle with this then learned that we need to stop living in flesh and accept the lord to start livining in the spirit cause flesh is born in sin meaning that when there is flesh there is sin so my advice for you would be to open the door of your heart to let the lord in so that you live in spirit meaning that the lord will live in you and wherever the lord is sin won't have his way there😁🙌❤
Thanks for sharing:)
0:28 i always tried to scare myself with hell videos and hell testimonies.. 😅
I hear you:)
I'm 68 years old and I believe near the end of my life on earth. I have struggled with pornography since I was 13 years old.I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at 20 years old but pornogophy has stood in my way to any real relationship with God The shame and pain has at times been overwhelming. I have no one I trust to share this with, so I am attempting to trust you with it after hearing your message. Please pray for me
Thank you, In Jesus name
Thank you for sharing. I understand the overwhelming feelings of shame. I'm praying for you now.
Thank you for sharing this.
I needed this. I also struggle with these addiction. I tried many things but i keep falling back to it.
Please pray for me too.
Praying for you now!
I've been put in the struggle of masturbation since I was 11. I have tried everything from going off my phone for a while, to trying to ignore it. Seeing the verse from James 5:16 is something I want to do, I want to tell my parents but confessing a sin like that is awkward and scary to see their reaction. I'm asking today my brothers and sisters of Christ, to pray for me in hopes of having a new will, a new thought process. And hopefully one day confess the reality to my parents that I've been sinning in the same house we have been living together for years. Amen
Praying for you!
Your phone has your name associated with it. So consider this... a phone company and anyone else they share data with are compiling an endless record of every video you have ever viewed. Even an atheist doesn't like that! They are watching what you watch.
Awesome testimony, and transparency... it all starts with the desire to not grieve the Holy Spirit, if that isn't there, then we have a deeper issue.
Put up the desire is there, and we are falling into condemnation through continued guilt because of relapses, etcetera.
Definitely getting someone else into it and prayers one thing, but a lot of it has to do with being productive... If your mind is on something that keeps your mind doing something, and we're not just talking about idle productivity, you know, just being busy for the sake of being busy, because?
But genuinely something that's asking us, that does much to restart the faculties, that's grace - but we have to meet to the grace with the dedication to stay the course.
That requires discipline, and this is where many believers who are trapped in sexual sin run into issues, spiritual discipline.
Thanks for watching and leaving a thoughtful comment. I appreciate you and your heart to help others.
@@ZechNewman pray for me... this has be a struggle
@@woodshed_moments I'm praying for you now 🙏
@@ZechNewman 🙏✝️
@@ZechNewman any consideration along prayer is cheerfully, and humbly appreciated. Thinking we can beat this thing on our own is delusion, Satan is crafty and incredibly subtle, he stands in accusation and the Lord will allow things if he's trying to move you somewhere, but if this is a stronghold, we created it.
I just believe this is a stronghold - thank you so much, and continued prayer is greatly appreciated.
Thank you brother, it is a very powerful strong hole ,it will take time ,we cannot do this on our own, but God knows and I believe has long has we keep asking God for is help and forgive me , keeping our eye on Jesus is the key to get set free,I got save at 52 years old ,I have been free from pornography for 20 years, I just recently fell back into, and still have a very difficult time to get out off it. Need prayer, I have mentioned to a few trust friends, but I am keeping my eye on Jesus every day, spending 30 to 40 minutes to listen to daily Jesus Devotional , and i needed to pray much more , please do not give up.i believe God allows us to go true certain difficult situations, to recognize that how much we needed Him, thank you ,Ferdinand
@ferdinandbellavance5045 praying for you brother 🙏
