I fear that my sexual sin has cost me my marriage. Great message I wish I would have heard it years ago I have been living a life of sexual sin, and now the wife that I prayed for is gone and I’m alone brothers and sister turn now before it’s too late for you too.
this is one of the most scariest heart pounding sermons on struggling with sin. The message gave me hope determination and a healthy dose of reverential fear of the Lord. Thank you Lord God for this message and for your faithful servants to deliver it
Bless you, Maurice. I have been clobbered by sexual sin for many years. Right now I have decided to get unstuck for good. Can you let me know how you are doing? Thanks, John A.
Any straight men feeling sexual sin, conflict which is preventing them from living life to the full, my video explains how to overcome these feelings, link th-cam.com/video/lyG5WWM3yvc/w-d-xo.html
i have for 5 years since i got born again been struggling with sexual sin ..i fall ,,i repent ...i fall ..repent sometimes i feel like i just want to die ...it realy grieves my heart ..i want to be free ..i want to forgot all the things i have done ..i am ready to take any steps to be free ...Jesus help me i pray
+Ole Msondoro Don't give up, find a group of Godly men who you can keep accountable to and who'll ask you on a daily basis how you're doing. Don't keep this sin hidden or it will keep having a hold on you as it does so many, and lastly remember you're not alone in your fight to be pure. Find comfort in the fact that others have gone before and conquered this sin and had victory over this. I'll pray for you and may God be with you in your walk to be pure. "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
+Ole Msondoro get the book The Battle Plan for Prayer - watch warroom movie to start, every day it is a battle for everyone with natural feelings that we are wired with but God's Spirit in us can help us overcome and live by God's grace
Nothing impossible with God but it starts by having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and allowing His Spirit fill us with power. We become an empty vessel. When we answer the salvation call His Spirit abides in us and empowers us. In water baptism, the past is buried and power of sin broken. Read acts 2:38 and chapter 6 and 8 of Romans. If you haven't taken that next step follow Jesus wholeheartedly Acts 22:16.
i am gaining grounds , i have allowed the Holy spirit to take control of my Life , i have identified things that make me fall like flirting , entertaining evils thoughts which i pull down whenever they come. i am also practising the presence of God i.e i talk to God like to a friend , and i find my mind is not easily distracted ....i know and i believe that Nothing is impossible with our God .
+Ole Msondoro amen keep fighting the good fight...put on the whole armor. i pray God continues to give you strength ans encouragement. do you have a good local church body and a close brother in faith for accountability? we all are at risk of falling and need a close brother or sister. I pray God's grace be with you more and more for victories in Christ.
lord jesus forgive me of my sexual sin and my addiction to watching porn I repent and need your help please help me jesus please I pray iam guilty iam guilty of pornography
Go to Leviticus and every sexual sin is in there. I havent heard him go to that yet. Fornication is idol worship and the bibke says that crystal clear as the transparent streets of heaven so why is he not talking about that? Why is he not rightly dividing the word. He needs to go to the Hebrew. Jesus didnt speak English so we need to go to the hebrew Greek and Latin and this guy needs to TEACH this subject correctly. IMORAL sex sin is you having sex with your parents aunts uncles brother ir sister and animals. He needs to go to the sexual immorality chapter in Leviticus
the beautiful part about youtube is that you can watch any sermon you want. no commercials and no sermons picked out for you like they do on TV. you can pick what YOU want to listen to and i love that.
I struggled with this horrible sin most of my adult life, yes even after being saved. The hopeless cycle of being tempted and deceived by Satan, turning my back on God and betraying his sacrifice by selfishly choosing to sin against him.. followed by immediately regretting my sin and begging Jesus yet again to forgive me. Bottom line, no one can beat this sin without the power of the Holy Spirit. Only now am I beginning to conquer this sin by putting on the full armor of God, living in his Holy Word and denying my flesh through fasting and prayer. Something I've learned along the way, if I can't do it in front of Jesus then I simply can't do it !!! Not one second of our lives are private. Nothing is secret, God examines our heart from our birth to our last breath and He knows every thought before we even think it.. and he knows every act or deed we do before we even do anything. We must deny our flesh and beg Jesus to remove this selfish desire from our heart, and grant us the wisdom to see this ugly sin for what it really is. If you sin, run don't walk to the feet of Jesus and ask His forgiveness and to cleanse you and replace you're ugly Thoughts with pure ones. Keep your thoughts on the things that are pleasing to our heavenly Father God bless
I have a lot in common with your testimony what helped me is what OUR SAVOR JESUS DID WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED AND THINKING ABOUT HOW HE SUFFERED FOR ME AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT GIVES ME VITORY OVER MY FLESH BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME
This is a subject that should be preached more and more in todays world in our churches, we don't hear this enough in a manner like this where it is understood like this, this has been a revealing message that we all need to hear,God bless James Mcdonald for his work in this way.
I have been through so much with sexual sin I don't wanna live this way I'm struggling but I pray every night that I can be freed from this addiction and hopefully to have a godly relationship and marriage
Hey Josh you and thousands of others have this same conviction and this struggle. Matthew 17:22 says that some of these things just can't go away without prayer and fasting as does Mark 9:29. I would encourage you to pray and take some time throughout your week to fast. Pastor James does a great sermon on fasting you should check out. I know that you will have victory over this sin and never forgot that with Christ, we are more then conquers! Amen! th-cam.com/video/o4QACiq1HcI/w-d-xo.html
@@AllThingsMinistry thanks Pastor for this timely answer. Am going through a very difficult time fighting off sex addiction which av had since I was young. I desperately and painfully need help. On the issue of prayers and fasting, how do you recommend as in durations. Pray for me
I'm so glad I can point to a pattern, but I'm seriously grieved it's not steeper. I want to be like Jesus, I love Him with everything I am. He saved me from so much, I just can't even begin to explain. He really is Christ, he is saving people like me 2,000 years later. I just can't thank God enough, because when I began to listen to Jesus i was in a dark, bad place mentally and spiritually. I had so much anger, so many problems and it was Jesus that began to teach me to forgive. Jesus who taught me to value my life, Jesus who taught me that sexual sin was wrong, Jesus who taught me how I should love my wife and family, Jesus who taught me to be thankful for what I have, Jesus who taught me to trust in God... JESUS!!!!! THANK YOU!
I am appalled and have shared this with a close friend who shares same struggle as I and I have resorted to considering demon possession etcetc not being able to figure out why I can’t overcome this are. I’ve never felt so much conviction in a sermon ever! The truth is so painful because finally I’m hearing the truth. No more excuses. God bless u sir for ur loyalty to serve god and feed us sheep. I’m so thankful I found this video.
Am born again Christian but still struggling to get over sexual impurities,lust and jezebel spirit,I pray to God to help me n set me free every that bondage n set my soul free from sexual sin untill marriage,I feel guilty n I cry coz I feel like am letting my savior down each day,help me lord coz I don't want to go to hell
you have power and authority to break those chains yourself! wear your crown, rule and reign and strip away the power of the enemy operating in your life. rise above them where Christ dwells.
For godly grief (sorrow) produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief (sorrow) produces death. - II Corinthians 7:10 You need to ask yourself, " Do I feel the weight of godly sorrow when I sin sexually? " If not, ask God to give it to you. That is what will bring true repentance. We die everyday to our flesh.
I've have sinned in this type of like style now I'm fighting to get things straight with gob n also studying harder then I have ever did , this sin is so shame n scary ,think of your worest situation u been in n times it by ten !!
Thank you for thusbGod brought me back with this sermon, it put me back on track to being saved and repentance. Thank you for i have been reunited with my God
Thank you for this message it blessed me!! Thank you for the rebuke and for the love and truth!!! God bless you for instructing his people into grace and truth! ❤️
I struggled Sexual Perversion since age 6 because of being molested for many years, then I became promiscuous, I was kidnapped and used for sex trafficking, gang raped, an adultry, even sleeping with pastors, I watched pornography, I had an abortion, was a drug addict, homesexual, and had constant suicidal thoughts and attempts, etc. I was in church my entire life for 2-3x week, in various 12 steps, and did years of counseling, but I could not find any lasting freedom regardless of how many times I repented. Then finally at age 50 I was desperate enough to finally be honest and I got DELIVERANCE...from several generational curses and 19 demonic spirits. THhe Pastor and his wife fasted for 3 days, anointed me with oil, we took Communion and then they "softly prayed" for about an hour. I have NEVER had a single Thought or Action since that day. Praise The Lord that I am also free from fear, guilt, shame, isolation, rejection, insecurity, lying, self-condemnation, bitterness, depression unforgiveness, eating disorders, fear of abandonment, panic attacks, anger, jealousy, demonic voices that would tell me that I was ugly, alone, stupid, damaged, unlovable, worthless, hated, condemned and completely hopeless. ILoveYouJohn316.com
I'm extremely impressed and inspired with this message and the Pastor's preaching. He's very up front and to the point and I wish and pray that there were more preachers like him.
Roy Flores I know... staying away from sin is not easy. Most of us have strong weaknesses that make it extremely difficult. That is why we repent, stay free from sin for a while then end up going back to the same sin. It is like a never ending cycle. Most of us need a supernatural intervention. We need the Holy Spirit to enter us and change us.
By Fasting and Praying you can overcome the sins of the flesh, ( Matthew 26:41 ' The Spirit is Willing but the flesh is weak ' ) ( Matthew 17:21 ' But this kind does not go out except by Prayer and Fasting ' )
Before anyone asks, yes I watched this video before writing this post. I was freed from hardcore porn several years ago, after hitting rock bottom and asking God to help me. I have respect for what Pastor MacDonald is attempting with this message, but as someone raised around "hellfire preaching", allow me to stress this approach often drives true seekers away. Assuming someone is going to hell just because they repeatedly fall is just as bad a mistake, as describing sin (sexual or not) as "not a big deal". So many preachers assume that repeated failures equal a lack of honest repentance...but that's not always true on a personal level. I wanted to repent many times in the past, but kept believing Satan's lie that God could never love me. Even now, I still wrestle with that, because the memories and loneliness can be overwhelming. I'm 34 years old, with no romantic prospects and an honest desire to have a Godly marriage; how does a message like this provide more hope than fear or resentment?
Jesus said that whoever He sets free is free INDEED, as long as You Believe in the finished work of Christ,and accept God's free gift of grace and salvation by FAITH then you are NO LONGER a SLAVE TO THE LAW, SIN and DEATH. We are all sinful and imperfect(due to our Carnal bodies) and God KNOWS THAT, that is the reason Jesus died to MAKE (u did nothing) u His righteousness. Dearly Beloved, God loves u dearly even when u were still in sin (not yet made Christ ur Lord). Christ has set u FREE from Sexual sin and All other sins. Whatever still troubles u DO NOT WORRY about it Instead TELL it to GOD (He cares for u and knows ur wants, Desires, needs and thier SOLUTIONS MORE U DO) and u will experience His PEACE and JOY unexplainable. For Christ has set u Free and u are FREE INDEED. Amen. Experience God's love Beloved in Christ.
Because like he says, You need a crisis. Fear of sin and of the consequences of it is exactly what we need in such a crucial issue. Fear of sin contributes to the fear of God. But, praise God for this, he also gives us hope in Jesus Christ, who has overcome every sin (Hebrews 4:14-16). We share in the counsel of a perfect trinity that knows our every need (Matthew 6:33), and Jesus says to come to him, the weary and burdened, and he will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
Bless you brother and praise God for your deliverance I believe it's all about the persons approach some can handle it a little rough and others need it gentle it's all about the breakthrough I personally love his teachings because I feel the passion it's coming from he talks like that through his excitement I'm tiny but the more I talk the louder I get and not even know it
Moviefan2k4 Thanks for your input - as is so often said, each unto his own. I enjoy and find inspiration in the Hell and brimstone preaching. The reason I enjoy it is because these are sins we are repenting from and it is a serious matter. I know u will find, with God, that which you are looking for. God Bless.
Thank for letting yourself to be used and led by the Holy Spirit and giving us this message. Much needed and now on the right track and will find my accountability partner. May God bless you pastor.!
I struggle with sexual sin. My sexual addiction has went too far and I contracted a serious std that cant be cured and I have destroyed my health. I cant do all the things I used to I feel God has forsaken me I am so sorry Lord Nothing stops a sexual addict except a crisis, I am living that right now.
My relationship was ruined due to the guilt of sex before marriage. We both felt guilty and out of control and it caused a lot of quarreling and pain between us. Even knowing it takes two, I have a lot of guilt because although I had rededicated my life to Christ and was a born again virgin, I had previous experiences and the guy I was with was a virgin and was saving it for his future wife who we both thought was me at the time. Because of that I feel sorry for him and I feel guilt and shame and some frustration. I am more frustrated with myself than I am with him in this way, even though we are both consenting adults. Please pray for my full deliverance of guilt and all of his as well. It has been tough. I know he feels guilty for hurting me and I feel guilty for hurting him as well. It wasnt meant to be and it went from something seemingly beautiful and sweet to something devastating.
Thank you thank you -- God is so with you - thanks for taking on such a hard message and sending it straight to the heart, I do feel I can always be more pure in heart soul and mind , this really will bring healing , I'm completely repenting , the depths of the mind internally need this to help with restoration and revival, this is the truth loud and clear, thank you ... let Jesus win always and honor Jesus with all your heart soul and mind . I have to say James McDonald ministries are powerful and you all know how to stick to the truth in a loving way. Love the volume, often you low the more I follow its not a still small voice, its screaming out ...we are a sad race who rebel and we need to be kept narrow to learn to love ... "movie fan" I beg to differ its clear as day how the Lord feels , Jesus is real time is almost always up we are on the cusp of eternity any moment , this ministry should not be ashamed at all. The movement you are describing is one I am part of and at times the truth can be elusive, feeling like self help, too much reading between the lines, but you are right there is a place for it and love is the real movement , grace and following Jesus needs to be centered on it, but when I hear people newly reformed or people at our seeker friendly congregation tell others in other churches how wrong they are that is worrying me , sure maybe we should not just be good or believe in Jesus afraid to go to hell, but there are people out there that have it watered down and miss the real deep healing which protects us and our families, when the line is blurred and we always look like the culture the counter culture congregations end up failing, Paul addressed that and Jesus speaks about it a lot .. Anyway Pastor Daniel explains it better a myriad of preachers do as well. There is a balance but I have to flee form sin, when I was saved and had that encounter admitted I was born in sin , everything sinful makes me very uncomfortable and very uneasy, I learn to love others through grace and being merciful , but when darkness locks me in only Jesus opens the Light to help and reminds me what life is like in the absence of light, dont matter the delivery of that message real disciples , the real born again believers who are the church are all hearing that message and the others reject for a lesser guilt more appealing to the fleshly , but our Lord and Savior rebuilds, tears down and rips out the evil in us and so I question the watered down preaching as much as overly religious mask faker brimstone preachers, I dont think there is anything wrong with fearing God and hell. I almost started in the darkness because I was a subtle sinner acceptable in the comparison games with others and the culture. So i thought , in the Light realized how wretched ( or like Pastor Daniel put it) how "living in the sewage" I truly was and still do ( we all do) , so to aim for purity and perfection despite our inherent imperfections is still the calling , the Holy Spirit the grace and mercy cleanse us along the way, divine forgiveness the blood of the Lamb and are our helper and we need to know our need but its ok to flee from sin and sexual immorality the Scripture reads how dangerous and dreadful getting it wrong can be , we are easily fooled so the fire of God in preaching is a great thing. I once did a Kings study and look at Elijah, I think people would be surprised these days how much more Jesus probably was to Elijah in tone and his condemning the evil things of his day rather than an extreme passivist looking to appease..
I am guilty of repetitive sexual sin and I have went too far with it and caught an Oral Std that was so severe It affected my entire digestive sysytem. I cannot Eat like I used to I repented and accepted Jesus as my lord and savior I hope its not too late. My body is not the same I destroyed my life. It all stsrted with pornography and it esxalated too far now I dont know what the outcome Of my illness will bring me. I wasnt always like this. I had relationships that failed and had other Opportunities for good relationships but did not pursue them. I am very ashamed I should of read the bible more. Now I feel any chance for a good marriage is over. I hope God xan forgive me.
I was once bound by this as well, when I gave myself back to the Lord, and my then boyfriend but now husband , I told him I cant keep having sex with you without being married. He said that he will support my request and at the end of that same week he left me. I prayed him back in my life and now we are married. And its so freeing when you obey and live by Gods word. Gods able! you have to let your partner know the word. And if your single you have to protect what you watch, listen too, and hang out with because the devil is going to use everything and turn it into lust or depression and loneliness. But they that wait on the Lord! Just Saying.
If you watch the end, he finishes with love yah. I laughed a little cause it seemed so buddie buddie. But then his face for a quick second after that showed that the message was one of the harder ones he had to give but cared enough to do it. That's when I saw Jesus... When love hurts enough to say hard things.
I want to make it clear that he did not say everyone struggling with sin is going to hell. He said those who increase in it after being "saved" are not saved; we should slowly or quickly go through a process of letting it go. And while we continue in it unrepentant we are in danger of hell.
im a born again christian and have been saved from 1992 till now and have been stuggling with sin in such a way that it left emmotional scars on on my life made bad choices of relationships. im involved in one now how do i get out my story its more like that of samson and deliah pastor please pray for me. i really need deliverance.repentance. from sin my life in the name of jesus i need a spiritual father who will guid me to grow more in the things of GOD 😢
Beaverbrook Sentle have you listened to Michael chriswell pn TH-cam? His videos are terrific. They have changed my life as well as praying diligently everyday and reading the bible or listening to it on audio which is available on TH-cam as well. God bless, with Jesus all things are possible.
Jesus recently got me out of sexual sin that had a hold on me so strong that I forgot what holiness meant. Now at times I do struggle (not the same as I did before but still sin right?) and God's empowering grace is helping me to feel disgusted in what I do to the point that I no longer want to do it. I praise Him for that! I'm in another situation that can be pictured as an open door with someone else on the other side and they are speaking from me from that distance but I have not entered the door. I know that if I enter the door to fully meet the person it could lead to separation with God, not to say that the Holy Spirit can't convict me or the person BUT I feel if my love for Christ is not grounded I could be sucked in. The thing is I want the person to enter the doorway towards me! So it's like I am just starring at them whilst the door is open and I feel such grief because I don't want to close the door because it means pushing them away BUT it could be giving myself an openness to fall into something deep. All I can think of is interceding in prayer but I know I'm feeling the door slowly closing or REALLY closed but not fully so it's hard.
+Davanan Vadivelu Oh and Christ is helping me know the difference between condemnation and conviction, that God's love is there for me but it's tough love.
Mannn...everything he is saying is TRUE. I'm a living witness bro. This is crazy truth. Please listen and repent. God is good, he will pick you up, but it's so REAL!!
So if I'm still addicted to porn out of loss of control and I'm really repenting because I lose my way sometimes. Does that mean I'm going to hell because my performance as a Christian isnt "good enough"? I don't buy that. I recently had the crisis he speaks of here in this video, and I'm struggling with porn. I'm an addict to it, but I'm praying day and night to God to deliver me from this sin. Just because I'm not 100% there yet I'm somehow "double minded" is a concept I can't buy. God is in the PROCESS of delivering me from this immoral sin, and just because im not seeing all the PROGRESS YET doesn't mean I'm not saved or bound for hell. I'm resisting sin and trusting God with every fiber of my being, but I'm taking a habitual sin that was part of my life andreinforced in me for years out of my life. It's not going to happen overnight. It's like Paul said about grace. Don't use grace as license to sin, BUT if you do make a mistake you can approach Gods throne boldly for forgiveness.
Pray for Strength and Repent. Do whatever you need to do to make sure you don't watch it ever again. Delete Internet from your phone. Put porn blockers on your computer, set restrictions and have a buddy type in a passcode you don't know. I struggled with pornography and masturbation for over 9 years. Been 6 and a half months sober. God will give you strength, I'm praying for you. Life becomes so much better when you stop watching porn. I promise you! Everything changes for the better.
He is not the judge! There are so much reasons and processes we are all going thru and so much sins that are tolerated and as well breaking goods commandments. WE ALL are breaking goods laws. so if you know this and you are aware of it and you are praying for deliverance - dont - please dont! believe that you are lost because of it!
from my childhood I have always been captivated by sexual sin ,that has made me to suffer a lot spiritually and emotionally I wish I have a friend who I can share my troubles with am 27 now and am suffering because of this, I seriously need HELP.
Everything was so good until the last part... "For single men aged 25, 26, 27... Get a girl! What is wrong with you! There is plenty of godly women in our churches! You would rather live in your sexual temptation and struggle rather than experiencing a joyful, life-giving, mutually satisfying at every level relationship." Wow, that is so insulting, so degrading to any person that is trying so hard to live celibacy without bitterness and envy, as yes, sometimes a guy is celibate because he can't get married, for tons of reasons and not necessarily because he doesn't want to. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT CELIBACY. Where do you find anything in the Bible saying a guy who isn't married has something wrong about him? What about JESUS??? What about PAUL???
good women are hard to find these days... even in church there are some that are not so godly... I would marry but there arent many good women out there.... so I struggle with sexual sin because I cant marry :(
Ivan that's not a good reason, you can't give a justification for sin simply because you aren't married. Maybe it's God's will you marry, maybe it isn't but that's something you pray about. Scripture is filled with godly men who weren't married and we can't forget that they are guys just like you and me with the same temptations and lusts of the flesh like us. If you do want to marry, pray that God will send her you're way, but before He does you have get your life right. What you need to be seeking isn't your mate but your maker. Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." On a personal note, I met my wife in church, she's a genuine Christian, but I prayed 6 years before I actually met her then another 2 before we married. There is hope, sometimes it just takes time. Check out the book "I Issac, Take Thee Rebecca" by Ravi Zacharias. You can also listen to the sermons here rzim.org/just-thinking-broadcasts/i-isaac-take-you-rebekah-part-1-of-5/ Praying for you brother. God bless you man and give you victory in this area of purity.
Olivier Mayette 1st Corinthians 7:9 "But if they cannot Excersise self control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion"
Olivier Mayette. haha brother. you heard but did not hear. Paul also said. I would rather u be like me. he would u be single to keep all attention on jesus. But. he did say it is better to marry then burn with passion. and that is exactly what the Pastor was addressing. this was a sermon on sexual sin. if u believe u are single to serve the Lord. this message is not for u. if u are single and burn with passion. then get married. he was right marriage brings the love. so often u want the perfect mate before marriage. how is that possible?. ask yourself this. .how does one choose to be single so he can serve the Lord and always fall in sexual sin? answer u cant. Lord gave the marriage..he blessed it and sanctified it. I hope this helps
Kevin Wynstra I understand what you say... though in my answer I was talking about someone - like me - who can't get married not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't... I'm not attracted to girls, so unless God performs a miracle in my life I will have to stay single cause marriage wouldn't even solve my "burning with passion" problem... I would still burn with passion for guys no matter how attractive and godly a woman could be. -__- that's why I'm a little bit upset when he says someone who has sexual desires but doesn't get married is dumb.
I bind the spirit of lust, masturbation, pornography, adultery, lying and perversion OFF anyone struggling who wants delivered from sexual sin, Lord You are able and You will do it, amen!!! 🙏🙏☝
Being stuck in bad habits like sexual sin is like being an alcoholic - every drink is the last one, etc. etc. etc. Also, many people who are stuck in sexual sin look for a comfortable and easy way out. Perhaps it boils down to just how much one REALLY wants to kick the habit and be set free. It isn't easy. Everybody has a different set of weaknesses but sexual sin is probably one that we all share in one shape or another. Yet, it is extremely hard to stop. It is also hard to give advice despite the fact that we all know how difficult it is to deal with this one particular type of sin. I believe that it's because of the shame around it as well. Not too many people want to admit openly about their thoughts, habits and even perversions. Inside most of them struggle. It seems like it's a losing battle every single time. I don't know how many times Christians say that they repent only to fall back over, over and over again. I do it also. Listen sometimes to people who deal with this stuff without having any feeling of guilt whatsoever, i.e., non-believers. They'll advice you to keep busy in life. Set goals and don't spent too much time by yourself. Simply tire yourself out to such a degree that spending time with e.g. pornography is out of the picture. For a Christian, do all that and most importantly, stay busy with GOD. I should do likewise.
On the marriage front as a single male, sexual temptation and failure is paralyzing. The shame weighs us down into thinking that no Godly woman worth having would want anything to do with a messed up sinful man. I struggle with this. I also tend to look at my mediocre ability to provide as another barrier. I work very hard and long hours, but I don’t have any kind of benefits or set hours that what I would deem a “worthy” career would have. Am I buying a lie of shame and material provision as an excuse to not pursue a wife? I tell myself that I have to have it “all together” before pursuing. I know that’s not at all true with Christ, He meets me where I am, but for some reason pursuing a wife seems so different.
Sexual sin shreds away at your soul with guilt shame and inadaquacy.Its so dangerous bc you can easily feel maybe this is all i have to offer so it keeps you from fulfilling your potential in God!
I believe that i got saved when i was 4 years old, i know some dont believe that but i was brought up in a christian home. As soon as i knew that i was a sinner i repented and asked the lord to save me, i attended church weekly until my parents broke up when i was 11 (i am 15 now). Ever since then i have been growing further from the Lord without even realising. ever since i was 11 i have been dealing with a porn addiction. I now wish to walk with Jesus but i have never really had a proper relationship with him. This might sound wierd but i have started praying for conviction to draw me closer to the Lord. I honestly dont know what to do but pray at the miniute, but even at that i feel like my prayers just fall flat on the ground, i just feel so disconnected from God that i dont even feel bad when i do watch porn, i guess im just used to it at this point. However, i now realise that i NEED to get closer to God and have started making an effort to stop. Please pray for me.
You're at a very vulnerable part in your life young man. Take my advice and find a youth group and talk about your struggles. Don't keep them to yourself. Find a older Godly man and have him mentor you. Please run from this area of your life!
I fear that my sexual sin has cost me my marriage. Great message I wish I would have heard it years ago I have been living a life of sexual sin, and now the wife that I prayed for is gone and I’m alone brothers and sister turn now before it’s too late for you too.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters, for I am going through this battle right now 🙏
this is one of the most scariest heart pounding sermons on struggling with sin. The message gave me hope determination and a healthy dose of reverential fear of the Lord. Thank you Lord God for this message and for your faithful servants to deliver it
Me too
Rd
Never found a sermon that is more convicting on sexual sin as this. I repent. I am getting unstuck.
Amen! I'll keep you in prayer Maurice, all things are possible with Christ. God bless.
Amen God Bless you
Bless you, Maurice. I have been clobbered by sexual sin for many years. Right now I have decided to get unstuck for good. Can you let me know how you are doing? Thanks, John A.
Yes me too
Well I killed lizard and kill ants but I did not visit prostitutes.
Making a plan to live in VICTORY!!! That’s what I NEEDED to hear!!
Please pray for me everybody
Lets pray for each other brother.
How are you now?
This man is touched by God. What a powerful man of Conviction and Faith. Lord thank you for this man.
no, he's touched by collecting money after these silly semons to frighten people.

@@EFT_GrimReApEr looks like you're an unrepentant sinner that wants to keep living in his sin and flesh that will lead you to hell
i have for 5 years since i got born again been struggling with sexual sin ..i fall ,,i repent ...i fall ..repent sometimes i feel like i just want to die ...it realy grieves my heart ..i want to be free ..i want to forgot all the things i have done ..i am ready to take any steps to be free ...Jesus help me i pray
+Ole Msondoro Don't give up, find a group of Godly men who you can keep accountable to and who'll ask you on a daily basis how you're doing. Don't keep this sin hidden or it will keep having a hold on you as it does so many, and lastly remember you're not alone in your fight to be pure. Find comfort in the fact that others have gone before and conquered this sin and had victory over this. I'll pray for you and may God be with you in your walk to be pure. "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
+Ole Msondoro get the book The Battle Plan for Prayer - watch warroom movie to start, every day it is a battle for everyone with natural feelings that we are wired with but God's Spirit in us can help us overcome and live by God's grace
Nothing impossible with God but it starts by having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and allowing His Spirit fill us with power. We become an empty vessel. When we answer the salvation call His Spirit abides in us and empowers us. In water baptism, the past is buried and power of sin broken. Read acts 2:38 and chapter 6 and 8 of Romans. If you haven't taken that next step follow Jesus wholeheartedly Acts 22:16.
i am gaining grounds , i have allowed the Holy spirit to take control of my Life , i have identified things that make me fall like flirting , entertaining evils thoughts which i pull down whenever they come.
i am also practising the presence of God i.e i talk to God like to a friend , and i find my mind is not easily distracted ....i know and i believe that Nothing is impossible with our God .
+Ole Msondoro amen keep fighting the good fight...put on the whole armor. i pray God continues to give you strength ans encouragement. do you have a good local church body and a close brother in faith for accountability? we all are at risk of falling and need a close brother or sister. I pray God's grace be with you more and more for victories in Christ.
I AM A PASTOR AND I AM HUMBLED B THIS MESSAGE.MAY GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR.
AFTER WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THIS MESSAGE, MY LIFE WAS TRANSFORMED FOR GOOD IN CHRIST JESUS. I IMPLORE ALL TO WATCH TOO.
lord jesus forgive me of my sexual sin and my addiction to watching porn I repent and need your help please help me jesus please I pray iam guilty iam guilty of pornography
Go to Leviticus and every sexual sin is in there. I havent heard him go to that yet. Fornication is idol worship and the bibke says that crystal clear as the transparent streets of heaven so why is he not talking about that? Why is he not rightly dividing the word. He needs to go to the Hebrew. Jesus didnt speak English so we need to go to the hebrew Greek and Latin and this guy needs to TEACH this subject correctly. IMORAL sex sin is you having sex with your parents aunts uncles brother ir sister and animals. He needs to go to the sexual immorality chapter in Leviticus
Such a phenomenal Pastor that has fallen. I pray in Jesus Christ name that James MacDonald repents and comes back stronger with the Lord's message
the beautiful part about youtube is that you can watch any sermon you want. no commercials and no sermons picked out for you like they do on TV. you can pick what YOU want to listen to and i love that.
Thank you! I so need this in my effort to live as a Christian. Self-pleasuring can be harder to kick than sinning with another person.
I struggled with this horrible sin most of my adult life, yes even after being saved. The hopeless cycle of being tempted and deceived by Satan, turning my back on God and betraying his sacrifice by selfishly choosing to sin against him.. followed by immediately regretting my sin and begging Jesus yet again to forgive me. Bottom line, no one can beat this sin without the power of the Holy Spirit.
Only now am I beginning to conquer this sin by putting on the full armor of God, living in his Holy Word and denying my flesh through fasting and prayer.
Something I've learned along the way, if I can't do it in front of Jesus then I simply can't do it !!!
Not one second of our lives are private. Nothing is secret, God examines our heart from our birth to our last breath and He knows every thought before we even think it.. and he knows every act or deed we do before we even do anything.
We must deny our flesh and beg Jesus to remove this selfish desire from our heart, and grant us the wisdom to see this ugly sin for what it really is. If you sin, run don't walk to the feet of Jesus and ask His forgiveness and to cleanse you and replace you're ugly Thoughts with pure ones. Keep your thoughts on the things that are pleasing to our heavenly Father God bless
I have a lot in common with your testimony what helped me is what OUR SAVOR JESUS DID WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED AND THINKING ABOUT HOW HE SUFFERED FOR ME AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT GIVES ME VITORY OVER MY FLESH BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME
This is a subject that should be preached more and more in todays world in our churches, we don't hear this enough in a manner like this where it is understood like this, this has been a revealing message that we all need to hear,God bless James Mcdonald for his work in this way.
AMEN! I ONLY WISH PASTORS WOULD PREACH ON THIS TOPIC! TIRED OF SLEEPY CHURCHES!
Great sermon, all I can say is, I truly wish that my church was teeming with single, godly women. Don't take it for granted.
Favorite pastor. This is a message all men need to hear!
Thank you for this much needed riveting message. Many of us need to be shaken to the core over this.
agree
Best sermon I've heard thank you. My heart is heavy for I'm guilty of falling numerous times into sexual sin. I will repent now.
I have commuted sexual sin immediately after getting saved...but now I want God to change me...I ask for forgiveness...pray for me...
Sexual sin is killing many Christians in Africa....welcome to Kenya to teach pastors and leaders about this sin. Thanks for the great teaching.
Thank you! Thank for not sugar coating this! We all need to hear blunt truth!
Thank u Pastor McDonald for being so bold in teaching God's word! Luv it!!!
One of the best sermons I have ever listened to !! Thank You
James Macdonald is FIRE ! for the truth. God speaks through this man in a mighty way! ....
I have been through so much with sexual sin I don't wanna live this way I'm struggling but I pray every night that I can be freed from this addiction and hopefully to have a godly relationship and marriage
Hey Josh you and thousands of others have this same conviction and this struggle. Matthew 17:22 says that some of these things just can't go away without prayer and fasting as does Mark 9:29. I would encourage you to pray and take some time throughout your week to fast. Pastor James does a great sermon on fasting you should check out. I know that you will have victory over this sin and never forgot that with Christ, we are more then conquers! Amen!

@@AllThingsMinistry thanks Pastor for this timely answer. Am going through a very difficult time fighting off sex addiction which av had since I was young. I desperately and painfully need help. On the issue of prayers and fasting, how do you recommend as in durations. Pray for me
wow! Thank u Holy Spirit for using this man. truly convicted to lead a pure life and fear God MORE!!! Thank u Lord..
I love my Pastor. Let's pray that the word of "GOD" breaks though from sin.
This is the kind of preaching i love.. Preaching that will provoke you to love and good works... smile
I'm so glad I can point to a pattern, but I'm seriously grieved it's not steeper. I want to be like Jesus, I love Him with everything I am. He saved me from so much, I just can't even begin to explain. He really is Christ, he is saving people like me 2,000 years later.
I just can't thank God enough, because when I began to listen to Jesus i was in a dark, bad place mentally and spiritually. I had so much anger, so many problems and it was Jesus that began to teach me to forgive. Jesus who taught me to value my life, Jesus who taught me that sexual sin was wrong, Jesus who taught me how I should love my wife and family, Jesus who taught me to be thankful for what I have, Jesus who taught me to trust in God... JESUS!!!!! THANK YOU!
I am appalled and have shared this with a close friend who shares same struggle as I and I have resorted to considering demon possession etcetc not being able to figure out why I can’t overcome this are. I’ve never felt so much conviction in a sermon ever! The truth is so painful because finally I’m hearing the truth. No more excuses. God bless u sir for ur loyalty to serve god and feed us sheep. I’m so thankful I found this video.
dana d. Prayers if you need them
Am born again Christian but still struggling to get over sexual impurities,lust and jezebel spirit,I pray to God to help me n set me free every that bondage n set my soul free from sexual sin untill marriage,I feel guilty n I cry coz I feel like am letting my savior down each day,help me lord coz I don't want to go to hell
you have power and authority to break those chains yourself! wear your crown, rule and reign and strip away the power of the enemy operating in your life. rise above them where Christ dwells.
For godly grief (sorrow) produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief (sorrow) produces death. - II Corinthians 7:10 You need to ask yourself, " Do I feel the weight of godly sorrow when I sin sexually? " If not, ask God to give it to you. That is what will bring true repentance. We die everyday to our flesh.
Thank you Jesus 🙌🏽 I repent of all my sins. He’s a merciful God
This is a real battle and only through our Lord and savior Jesus Christ can we overcome
This man is so perfect, he has never sinned since he accepted the Lord
God be with all the Saints.
I've have sinned in this type of like style now I'm fighting to get things straight with gob n also studying harder then I have ever did , this sin is so shame n scary ,think of your worest situation u been in n times it by ten !!

I struggled Sexual Perversion since age 6 because of being molested for many years, then I became promiscuous, I was kidnapped and used for sex trafficking, gang raped, an adultry, even sleeping with pastors, I watched pornography, I had an abortion, was a drug addict, homesexual, and had constant suicidal thoughts and attempts, etc. I was in church my entire life for 2-3x week, in various 12 steps, and did years of counseling, but I could not find any lasting freedom regardless of how many times I repented. Then finally at age 50 I was desperate enough to finally be honest and I got DELIVERANCE...from several generational curses and 19 demonic spirits. THhe Pastor and his wife fasted for 3 days, anointed me with oil, we took Communion and then they "softly prayed" for about an hour. I have NEVER had a single Thought or Action since that day. Praise The Lord that I am also free from fear, guilt, shame, isolation, rejection, insecurity, lying, self-condemnation, bitterness, depression unforgiveness, eating disorders, fear of abandonment, panic attacks, anger, jealousy, demonic voices that would tell me that I was ugly, alone, stupid, damaged, unlovable, worthless, hated, condemned and completely hopeless.

I'm extremely impressed and inspired with this message and the Pastor's preaching. He's very up front and to the point and I wish and pray that there were more preachers like him.
amen. you will not go to hell if you repent and turn from your sin. a true sign of repentance is not commiting the same sin again
Roy Flores
I know... staying away from sin is not easy. Most of us have strong weaknesses that make it extremely difficult. That is why we repent, stay free from sin for a while then end up going back to the same sin. It is like a never ending cycle. Most of us need a supernatural intervention. We need the Holy Spirit to enter us and change us.
How? That's the issue! By quoting the Word of God at the time of temptations. Simple and easy!
Thank you pastor for your powerful preaching . I'm guilty :) .Glory to GOD :)
To GOD be the Glory .:)
many years of loss and suffering. bondage. pray please for light
Thank you pastor MacDonald for telling us the truth and for admonishing and warning us!
What an excellent message! very informative. I truly appreciate his blunt honesty on the consequences of sin. Amen!
By Fasting and Praying you can overcome the sins of the flesh, ( Matthew 26:41 ' The Spirit is Willing but the flesh is weak ' ) ( Matthew 17:21 ' But this kind does not go out except by Prayer and Fasting ' )
Before anyone asks, yes I watched this video before writing this post.
I was freed from hardcore porn several years ago, after hitting rock bottom and asking God to help me. I have respect for what Pastor MacDonald is attempting with this message, but as someone raised around "hellfire preaching", allow me to stress this approach often drives true seekers away. Assuming someone is going to hell just because they repeatedly fall is just as bad a mistake, as describing sin (sexual or not) as "not a big deal". So many preachers assume that repeated failures equal a lack of honest repentance...but that's not always true on a personal level. I wanted to repent many times in the past, but kept believing Satan's lie that God could never love me. Even now, I still wrestle with that, because the memories and loneliness can be overwhelming. I'm 34 years old, with no romantic prospects and an honest desire to have a Godly marriage; how does a message like this provide more hope than fear or resentment?
Jesus said that whoever He sets free is free INDEED, as long as You Believe in the finished work of Christ,and accept God's free gift of grace and salvation by FAITH then you are NO LONGER a SLAVE TO THE LAW, SIN and DEATH. We are all sinful and imperfect(due to our Carnal bodies) and God KNOWS THAT, that is the reason Jesus died to MAKE (u did nothing) u His righteousness. Dearly Beloved, God loves u dearly even when u were still in sin (not yet made Christ ur Lord). Christ has set u FREE from Sexual sin and All other sins. Whatever still troubles u DO NOT WORRY about it Instead TELL it to GOD (He cares for u and knows ur wants, Desires, needs and thier SOLUTIONS MORE U DO) and u will experience His PEACE and JOY unexplainable. For Christ has set u Free and u are FREE INDEED. Amen. Experience God's love Beloved in Christ.
Because like he says, You need a crisis. Fear of sin and of the consequences of it is exactly what we need in such a crucial issue. Fear of sin contributes to the fear of God. But, praise God for this, he also gives us hope in Jesus Christ, who has overcome every sin (Hebrews 4:14-16). We share in the counsel of a perfect trinity that knows our every need (Matthew 6:33), and Jesus says to come to him, the weary and burdened, and he will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
Bless you brother and praise God for your deliverance I believe it's all about the persons approach some can handle it a little rough and others need it gentle it's all about the breakthrough I personally love his teachings because I feel the passion it's coming from he talks like that through his excitement I'm tiny but the more I talk the louder I get and not even know it
I hope you find yourself in a healthy Godly marriage my brother! God bless you!
Moviefan2k4 Thanks for your input - as is so often said, each unto his own. I enjoy and find inspiration in the Hell and brimstone preaching. The reason I enjoy it is because these are sins we are repenting from and it is a serious matter. I know u will find, with God, that which you are looking for. God Bless.
Thank for letting yourself to be used and led by the Holy Spirit and giving us this message. Much needed and now on the right track and will find my accountability partner. May God bless you pastor.!
Thanks alot Pastor for the teaching. Kindly keep me in prayers to overcome this addiction and live a clean life that pleases God.

..thank you, it can be soooo difficult to want to be redirected to the truth, when "sin" blocks the way.
I struggle with sexual sin. My sexual addiction has went too far and I contracted a serious std that cant be cured and I have destroyed my health.
I cant do all the things I used to I feel
God has forsaken me I am so sorry Lord
Nothing stops a sexual addict except a crisis, I am living that right now.
WHAT AN AWESOME PREACHER! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
My relationship was ruined due to the guilt of sex before marriage. We both felt guilty and out of control and it caused a lot of quarreling and pain between us. Even knowing it takes two, I have a lot of guilt because although I had rededicated my life to Christ and was a born again virgin, I had previous experiences and the guy I was with was a virgin and was saving it for his future wife who we both thought was me at the time. Because of that I feel sorry for him and I feel guilt and shame and some frustration. I am more frustrated with myself than I am with him in this way, even though we are both consenting adults. Please pray for my full deliverance of guilt and all of his as well. It has been tough. I know he feels guilty for hurting me and I feel guilty for hurting him as well. It wasnt meant to be and it went from something seemingly beautiful and sweet to something devastating.
Thank God for this message as a reminder of the road of sexual immorality! And the devastation it can cause to one life!
Thank you thank you -- God is so with you - thanks for taking on such a hard message and sending it straight to the heart, I do feel I can always be more pure in heart soul and mind , this really will bring healing , I'm completely repenting , the depths of the mind internally need this to help with restoration and revival, this is the truth loud and clear, thank you ... let Jesus win always and honor Jesus with all your heart soul and mind . I have to say James McDonald ministries are powerful and you all know how to stick to the truth in a loving way. Love the volume, often you low the more I follow its not a still small voice, its screaming out ...we are a sad race who rebel and we need to be kept narrow to learn to love ... "movie fan" I beg to differ its clear as day how the Lord feels , Jesus is real time is almost always up we are on the cusp of eternity any moment , this ministry should not be ashamed at all. The movement you are describing is one I am part of and at times the truth can be elusive, feeling like self help, too much reading between the lines, but you are right there is a place for it and love is the real movement , grace and following Jesus needs to be centered on it, but when I hear people newly reformed or people at our seeker friendly congregation tell others in other churches how wrong they are that is worrying me , sure maybe we should not just be good or believe in Jesus afraid to go to hell, but there are people out there that have it watered down and miss the real deep healing which protects us and our families, when the line is blurred and we always look like the culture the counter culture congregations end up failing, Paul addressed that and Jesus speaks about it a lot .. Anyway Pastor Daniel explains it better a myriad of preachers do as well. There is a balance but I have to flee form sin, when I was saved and had that encounter admitted I was born in sin , everything sinful makes me very uncomfortable and very uneasy, I learn to love others through grace and being merciful , but when darkness locks me in only Jesus opens the Light to help and reminds me what life is like in the absence of light, dont matter the delivery of that message real disciples , the real born again believers who are the church are all hearing that message and the others reject for a lesser guilt more appealing to the fleshly , but our Lord and Savior rebuilds, tears down and rips out the evil in us and so I question the watered down preaching as much as overly religious mask faker brimstone preachers, I dont think there is anything wrong with fearing God and hell. I almost started in the darkness because I was a subtle sinner acceptable in the comparison games with others and the culture. So i thought , in the Light realized how wretched ( or like Pastor Daniel put it) how "living in the sewage" I truly was and still do ( we all do) , so to aim for purity and perfection despite our inherent imperfections is still the calling , the Holy Spirit the grace and mercy cleanse us along the way, divine forgiveness the blood of the Lamb and are our helper and we need to know our need but its ok to flee from sin and sexual immorality the Scripture reads how dangerous and dreadful getting it wrong can be , we are easily fooled so the fire of God in preaching is a great thing. I once did a Kings study and look at Elijah, I think people would be surprised these days how much more Jesus probably was to Elijah in tone and his condemning the evil things of his day rather than an extreme passivist looking to appease..
I am guilty of repetitive sexual sin and
I have went too far with it and caught an
Oral Std that was so severe It affected my entire digestive sysytem. I cannot
Eat like I used to I repented and accepted Jesus as my lord and savior
I hope its not too late. My body is not the same I destroyed my life. It all stsrted with pornography and it esxalated too
far now I dont know what the outcome
Of my illness will bring me.
I wasnt always like this. I had relationships that failed and had other
Opportunities for good relationships but did not pursue them. I am very
ashamed I should of read the bible more. Now I feel any chance for a good marriage is over. I hope God xan forgive me.
I'm guilty God forgive me

Wow... This guy is awesome. God bless him.
Thank you for this message I really needed it
Thank you for this sermon.
I was once bound by this as well, when I gave myself back to the Lord, and my then boyfriend but now husband , I told him I cant keep having sex with you without being married. He said that he will support my request and at the end of that same week he left me. I prayed him back in my life and now we are married. And its so freeing when you obey and live by Gods word. Gods able! you have to let your partner know the word. And if your single you have to protect what you watch, listen too, and hang out with because the devil is going to use everything and turn it into lust or depression and loneliness. But they that wait on the Lord! Just Saying.
Sister u r so ryte bless you ,I know cause I'm going through it too.
Your so right
If you watch the end, he finishes with love yah. I laughed a little cause it seemed so buddie buddie. But then his face for a quick second after that showed that the message was one of the harder ones he had to give but cared enough to do it. That's when I saw Jesus... When love hurts enough to say hard things.
Please forgive me lord, may I look to you and sin no more!
the part where he says you need to put your face on your bible and just weep with forgiveness, I have not done that, but I need to
I want to make it clear that he did not say everyone struggling with sin is going to hell. He said those who increase in it after being "saved" are not saved; we should slowly or quickly go through a process of letting it go. And while we continue in it unrepentant we are in danger of hell.
im a born again christian and have been saved from 1992 till now and have been stuggling with sin in such a way that it left emmotional scars on on my life made bad choices of relationships. im involved in one now how do i get out my story its more like that of samson and deliah pastor please pray for me. i really need deliverance.repentance. from sin my life in the name of jesus i need a spiritual father who will guid me to grow more in the things of GOD 😢
Beaverbrook Sentle have you listened to Michael chriswell pn TH-cam? His videos are terrific. They have changed my life as well as praying diligently everyday and reading the bible or listening to it on audio which is available on TH-cam as well. God bless, with Jesus all things are possible.
Beaverbrook Sentle
the Lord will honor your humble prayer...
Please pray for me. I pray I'm not too far gone, and God will break my heart
i needed this
Jesus recently got me out of sexual sin that had a hold on me so strong that I forgot what holiness meant. Now at times I do struggle (not the same as I did before but still sin right?) and God's empowering grace is helping me to feel disgusted in what I do to the point that I no longer want to do it. I praise Him for that!
I'm in another situation that can be pictured as an open door with someone else on the other side and they are speaking from me from that distance but I have not entered the door. I know that if I enter the door to fully meet the person it could lead to separation with God, not to say that the Holy Spirit can't convict me or the person BUT I feel if my love for Christ is not grounded I could be sucked in. The thing is I want the person to enter the doorway towards me! So it's like I am just starring at them whilst the door is open and I feel such grief because I don't want to close the door because it means pushing them away BUT it could be giving myself an openness to fall into something deep.
All I can think of is interceding in prayer but I know I'm feeling the door slowly closing or REALLY closed but not fully so it's hard.
+Davanan Vadivelu Oh and Christ is helping me know the difference between condemnation and conviction, that God's love is there for me but it's tough love.
Wow good message
Mannn...everything he is saying is TRUE. I'm a living witness bro. This is crazy truth. Please listen and repent. God is good, he will pick you up, but it's so REAL!!
Please pray for me.
So if I'm still addicted to porn out of loss of control and I'm really repenting because I lose my way sometimes. Does that mean I'm going to hell because my performance as a Christian isnt "good enough"? I don't buy that. I recently had the crisis he speaks of here in this video, and I'm struggling with porn. I'm an addict to it, but I'm praying day and night to God to deliver me from this sin. Just because I'm not 100% there yet I'm somehow "double minded" is a concept I can't buy. God is in the PROCESS of delivering me from this immoral sin, and just because im not seeing all the PROGRESS YET doesn't mean I'm not saved or bound for hell. I'm resisting sin and trusting God with every fiber of my being, but I'm taking a habitual sin that was part of my life andreinforced in me for years out of my life. It's not going to happen overnight. It's like Paul said about grace. Don't use grace as license to sin, BUT if you do make a mistake you can approach Gods throne boldly for forgiveness.
Pray for Strength and Repent. Do whatever you need to do to make sure you don't watch it ever again. Delete Internet from your phone. Put porn blockers on your computer, set restrictions and have a buddy type in a passcode you don't know. I struggled with pornography and masturbation for over 9 years. Been 6 and a half months sober. God will give you strength, I'm praying for you. Life becomes so much better when you stop watching porn. I promise you! Everything changes for the better.
He is not the judge! There are so much reasons and processes we are all going thru and so much sins that are tolerated and as well breaking goods commandments. WE ALL are breaking goods laws. so if you know this and you are aware of it and you are praying for deliverance - dont - please dont! believe that you are lost because of it!
I also struggle and I am fighting hard to change. Its a battle lets try not to lose. God please help Us.
The answer is yes. Only the pure and Holy will see God. Fast and pray my friend don't be deceived.
Then you will see him neither - right?
I am. Sinner and i Give and Surrender my Life to God and Except Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior ❤ Please Pray for me
Powerful!
from my childhood I have always been captivated by sexual sin ,that has made me to suffer a lot spiritually and emotionally I wish I have a friend who I can share my troubles with am 27 now and am suffering because of this, I seriously need HELP.
sorry, but fast and pray
true, do it regularly
Nganga stephen sorry gonna pray for you.
Everything was so good until the last part... "For single men aged 25,
26, 27... Get a girl! What is wrong with you! There is plenty of godly
women in our churches! You would rather live in your sexual temptation
and struggle rather than experiencing a joyful, life-giving, mutually
satisfying at every level relationship." Wow, that is so insulting, so
degrading to any person that is trying so hard to live celibacy without
bitterness and envy, as yes, sometimes a guy is celibate because he
can't get married, for tons of reasons and not necessarily because he
doesn't want to. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG ABOUT CELIBACY. Where do you
find anything in the Bible saying a guy who isn't married has something
wrong about him? What about JESUS??? What about PAUL???
good women are hard to find these days... even in church there are some that are not so godly... I would marry but there arent many good women out there.... so I struggle with sexual sin because I cant marry :(
Ivan that's not a good reason, you can't give a justification for sin simply because you aren't married. Maybe it's God's will you marry, maybe it isn't but that's something you pray about. Scripture is filled with godly men who weren't married and we can't forget that they are guys just like you and me with the same temptations and lusts of the flesh like us.
If you do want to marry, pray that God will send her you're way, but before He does you have get your life right. What you need to be seeking isn't your mate but your maker. Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
On a personal note, I met my wife in church, she's a genuine Christian, but I prayed 6 years before I actually met her then another 2 before we married. There is hope, sometimes it just takes time.
Check out the book "I Issac, Take Thee Rebecca" by Ravi Zacharias. You can also listen to the sermons here rzim.org/just-thinking-broadcasts/i-isaac-take-you-rebekah-part-1-of-5/
Praying for you brother. God bless you man and give you victory in this area of purity.
Olivier Mayette 1st Corinthians 7:9 "But if they cannot Excersise self control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion"
Olivier Mayette. haha brother.
you heard but did not hear. Paul also said. I would rather u be like me. he would u be single to keep all attention on jesus. But. he did say it is better to marry then burn with passion.
and that is exactly what the Pastor was addressing. this was a sermon on sexual sin. if u believe u are single to serve the Lord. this message is not for u. if u are single and burn with passion. then get married. he was right marriage brings the love. so often u want the perfect mate before marriage. how is that possible?. ask yourself this. .how does one choose to be single so he can serve the Lord and always fall in sexual sin? answer u cant. Lord gave the marriage..he blessed it and sanctified it. I hope this helps
Kevin Wynstra I understand what you say... though in my answer I was talking about someone - like me - who can't get married not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't... I'm not attracted to girls, so unless God performs a miracle in my life I will have to stay single cause marriage wouldn't even solve my "burning with passion" problem... I would still burn with passion for guys no matter how attractive and godly a woman could be. -__- that's why I'm a little bit upset when he says someone who has sexual desires but doesn't get married is dumb.
very good sermon
I bind the spirit of lust, masturbation, pornography, adultery, lying and perversion OFF anyone struggling who wants delivered from sexual sin, Lord You are able and You will do it, amen!!! 🙏🙏☝
I made a decision never to watch porn or anything ungodly because after being born again i struggled with this sin. Oh! God we need wisdom
Incredible truth!
Being stuck in bad habits like sexual sin is like being an alcoholic - every drink is the last one, etc. etc. etc. Also, many people who are stuck in sexual sin look for a comfortable and easy way out. Perhaps it boils down to just how much one REALLY wants to kick the habit and be set free. It isn't easy. Everybody has a different set of weaknesses but sexual sin is probably one that we all share in one shape or another. Yet, it is extremely hard to stop. It is also hard to give advice despite the fact that we all know how difficult it is to deal with this one particular type of sin. I believe that it's because of the shame around it as well. Not too many people want to admit openly about their thoughts, habits and even perversions. Inside most of them struggle. It seems like it's a losing battle every single time. I don't know how many times Christians say that they repent only to fall back over, over and over again. I do it also. Listen sometimes to people who deal with this stuff without having any feeling of guilt whatsoever, i.e., non-believers. They'll advice you to keep busy in life. Set goals and don't spent too much time by yourself. Simply tire yourself out to such a degree that spending time with e.g. pornography is out of the picture. For a Christian, do all that and most importantly, stay busy with GOD. I should do likewise.
good message
pray for me pastor i desire to seek God more and flee from sexual sin
On the marriage front as a single male, sexual temptation and failure is paralyzing. The shame weighs us down into thinking that no Godly woman worth having would want anything to do with a messed up sinful man. I struggle with this. I also tend to look at my mediocre ability to provide as another barrier. I work very hard and long hours, but I don’t have any kind of benefits or set hours that what I would deem a “worthy” career would have. Am I buying a lie of shame and material provision as an excuse to not pursue a wife? I tell myself that I have to have it “all together” before pursuing. I know that’s not at all true with Christ, He meets me where I am, but for some reason pursuing a wife seems so different.
..we all need a chrisis !!
thank u a lot and god bless you!!!you helped me a lot
Sexual sin shreds away at your soul with guilt shame and inadaquacy.Its so dangerous bc you can easily feel maybe this is all i have to offer so it keeps you from fulfilling your potential in God!
Wow that was real helpful
I believe that i got saved when i was 4 years old, i know some dont believe that but i was brought up in a christian home. As soon as i knew that i was a sinner i repented and asked the lord to save me, i attended church weekly until my parents broke up when i was 11 (i am 15 now). Ever since then i have been growing further from the Lord without even realising. ever since i was 11 i have been dealing with a porn addiction. I now wish to walk with Jesus but i have never really had a proper relationship with him. This might sound wierd but i have started praying for conviction to draw me closer to the Lord. I honestly dont know what to do but pray at the miniute, but even at that i feel like my prayers just fall flat on the ground, i just feel so disconnected from God that i dont even feel bad when i do watch porn, i guess im just used to it at this point. However, i now realise that i NEED to get closer to God and have started making an effort to stop. Please pray for me.
I'm 14 and struggle with the same thing. However I was only saved a few months ago. You will be in my prayers, God bless you.
You're at a very vulnerable part in your life young man. Take my advice and find a youth group and talk about your struggles. Don't keep them to yourself. Find a older Godly man and have him mentor you. Please run from this area of your life!
+Justin Bowman wow, you have my same name bro!
