It did actually pop up in my screen. I’ve been fighting this for 3 years. The temptation is a lot but I pray EVERYDAY to grow closer to Him.
I’ve gone through the conqueror series

This made me cry. Maybe because I've been fighting so hard for so long. I feel comfort knowing that it's because I'm capable of being a warrior not weak.
Absolutely!
Agent J praying for you🙏
Agent J huh
A topic most pastors won't touch yet the people of God need to hear.
Or if they do it's usually in a shameful manner
@@Natured1ne One of the reasons I quit the chruch in 2005. I felt shamed and no one understood me, I finally asked God for help again last week. This video popped up in my suggested today.
1: Confess your sins to God to be forgiven.
2: Confess to people to be healed.
3: Remove triggers from your life; if you continue to lose on the same path, get off the path.
4: Get the necessary help.
5: Let the goodness of our God heal your wound.
Thank you 😊
Very nice
❤
I don't have help what should I do
You always have help. Our help comes from the Lord first. Do you have any friends to hold you accountable or your parents?
@@jacinth8244
I was lying in bed being tempted to watch porn on my day off, I scroll down look up to my ceiling, contemplating, the conversation within raging, I look back at my phone and this is the first thing I see. Praise Jesus!
Antonio Porter if only we could just look at a woman and marry her like back in the old days
Kane Citicani bro wouldn’t that be nice lol
@@KaneCiticani Dude that would be amazing 😅
the same happened to me but multiple days I saw it as top reccommended and up next and I ignored it but after about 3 or 4 days or ignoring it then it would show back up again randomly and i finally gave in and watched it and it was exactly what i needed to hear praise jesus
@@KaneCiticani lol
I pray I and anyone else struggling make it through this Battle, Amen
🙏
Like alcohol makes you drunk irregardless of what the indivudual taking it believes himself about its effects. Meat eating strengthens the carnal mind and the sexaul passions, as well as causes irritability.
🙏🏽I'm glad you've found something that is helpful to you, Daniel!

Amen
Amen
This video really inspired me to quit and since watching it I have been 40 days clean. Sadly last week I relapsed but I'm now back on the horse and starting again. Please pray for me as I fight this battle
God help this person win!
I relapsed after 21 days , I hope you are clean now and if you can please pray for me 🙏🏿.
You're clean in Jesus name ❤
@@ExpressClips001 Amen!
praying for you!! its a tough battle but keep fighting the good fight.
“The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

Amen 🙏🏿😭 fight for me Lord I can't do this on my own!!
@@isaactesfaye4911 You can do it bro. Remember you have God in you. The Holy Spirit. Call on him he will deliver you in the name of Jesus. When he delivers you, don’t look back! Keep fighting bro
Amen, made A video myself
amen
Don't think it is the same type of fight. It is like God doesn't care about my heart. It's not about perfecting us to do things like overcome porn. God's power is limited when it comes to free will. He won't make another person fall in love with us. He has hung us out to dry when it comes to meeting a good choice for marriage.
"A warrior may not win every battle, but a warrior never stops fighting."
That still sucks...
Amen, gotta fight the temptations

There Is A Warrior That Wins Every Battle! He Is Known As The Supreme Being!
read my comments above, and perhaps you may consider yourself, if you understand what you are reading, somewhat enlightened as to the reality of the so called good book, and the worship of the criminal known as Jesus!!!
I literally just sat on my bed and said, "GOD! I NEED HELP WITH THIS. IT'S STEALING MY LIFE." And this showed up in my feed. THANK YOU LORD for answering on time!!
God is always right on time! Thank you for sharing.
You can and will be free just ask God to fill you with the Holy Ghost. Act 2:1-4 Lean on the strength of God.
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." James 4: 7-8
The greatest weapon of warfare God has given his people for victory is fasting and praying. I am overcoming my sins one by one through fasting and prayer this is what breaks the strongholds in our lives. When we deny self and appetite we automatically begin to deny our passion to continue in sin, but it is not a onetime thing it has to become a lifestyle. Come to God with a contrite spirit, be earnest, fall on your knees, lay prostrate before the Lord he will answer your call and give you the victory and most of all have faith without it it is impossible to please God.
Same brother same.
I’m fighting this battle and I will conquer it!! In the name of Jesus!
God, thank you so much for the work you’re doing in the life of Ofentse Tauyatswala right now. We ask that you’d help them draw closer to you each day. Give them the strength to overcome this addiction, and surround them with a community of people who can help them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I have no job and sit in a room all day at my parents. I am sick of being this alcoholic pothead porn addict. God give me the strength to quit. I need a miracle. I think I could do a lot of good in this world . Please pray for me .
Praying for you right now. You got to get out of the loop
Maybe the greatest miracle is an unspectacular and gradual change in attitude.
Praying. God bless you.
Man i started my journey days ago so should you you can do it we can do it, this routine will totaly destroy you and everything around you be strong man let's get on the road of our dreams and to be the persons we always wanted to be. ✊

What if you become a boring person?
@@MrButtstroker you will feel that for a week its called flatline because your body will not be getting the dopamin hits then it will stop and you will feel super energetic and happy and you will want to do something else after a week or so you will not be bored, hope it helps
You are strong brother, prayers
It is no coincidence I came across this watching from Lagos, Nigeria. I have battled this for close to 20 years. I am recommitting my life to Christ today and hoping to be a warrior and to fight this till I win. Thank you pastor Craig

It's an ongoing battle. We never really totally win it, but armed with the love of Christ burning in us, we don't have to totally lose it either.
The way I overcame this sexual repetitive sin was to make a strict plan. This plan consisted of strict rules for myself such as; no t having any electronics on me while in bed except the T.V., no watching shows or movies with sensual dressed women, not talking about my past sexual experiences and praying/repenting of my sin. These rules helped me a lot. Just come up with your own rules and follow them to a T. Don't forgot to pray about it and you should see results as long as you try.
For me, it was when God showed me that angels are all around us, so we have an audience in everything we do. And last but not least, the Holy Spirit
@@ancientsalt4291you know who else is all around us? The Lord himself is our main audience! 😊
Honestly I’ve struggled all of my life with pornography... it’s literally destroyed my life, my relationship and my mind... I recently decided to stop, I’m about a week and a half in so please pray for me 🙏🏼 I’m tired of this I want to be free from this oppression that has me tied down. Thank you for this video I needed it
Thank you for sharing, Christian! If you want some more tools to help, we have set up a page at life.church/howtoquit.
The grace is sufficient.
And even if you've failed multiple times since then, the grace of God is still sufficient.
I always say to myself, if it was someone I know playing in that porn movie, I would not have watched it. Having that in mind help me stop being slave of porn.
@@kenechukwuujam1479 thank you I NEEDED to read that
How did you do buddy?
"Dont fight sexual temptation,flee from it" .this is so true pastor.
Facts, Amen 🙏
Mastur-bation almost destroyed my life, It made me look bad physically but Jesus Christ saved me and He His helping me to recover from the effects of mas-turbation. I've discovered with my walk with Christ that righteousness is better than iniquity and there are always grievous consequences to sin because of my experience with mastur-bation. I now know that when God tells you to do something, it is because He wants your life to be better not worse, His commandments to us are always commandments of love, not pride or boasting. I want you to know that everytime man do things their way, It always ends up in destruction and sorrow, but when man do things God's way, it ends up in Joy, Peace, and more life.
Amen!
This man is not a pastor. He’s a motivational speaker who overcame sexual addiction. Apparently he’s “so” not addicted that he needs his wife to control his online content viewing - to such an extent that it rivals that of parental controls on a child’s device. A grown man has so little self-control that he needs his wife to lock down his device to the point where she needs to put in a password to download an app.
Be he’s not addicted in the least.
It’s a fight individual you can’t win alone you need the lord help it’s okay to run from it it’s better to run from the danger of the temptation. Also they say do t be alone be with friends who can help keep you focus.
As a follower of Christ, this to me is the biggest battle of all.
God, thank you so much for the work you’re doing in the life of Phil right now. We ask that you’d help them draw closer to you each day. Give them the strength to overcome this addiction, and surround them with a community of people who can help them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I've started watching since I was less than 10 years old, and when I was almost 12 I quitted and I really didn't watch it anymore. But now I'm 5 months away from being 13 and I have really strong temptations, and yet I came here and this is really what I needed. I know I can win cuz I have won this battle before. Thank you❤️

How are you? Did you end up quitting? I know it is so hard to stop so I wanted to check how you have been
Guys, I really need prayer. I hate this sin. Would hate to be left behind cause of it.
Hatred of sin because it offends God is a grace.
Ask God for His fire to calm ur sexual urges when it happens. This is what I usually do when i have urges. Praise God for His power and grace.😊
God does not leave us behind because of our sin - he sent Jesus to overcome it. We are praying for you!
...and you will if you don't stop. Don't excuse your sin. At this point you on a jet to hell. It's so serious that Jesus compared it to pluck out your eye or cutting off your hand. (This is called hyperbole.) Read Christian Set Yourself Free. See my comments above. You can do this. We are not 1/2 conquerors. We are not conquerors. We are more than conquerors.
I'm praying for and with you. Seek God in purity and holiness and keep all safe guards in place.
In quarantine and still watching, people often think it’s only men who struggle with pornography but women do too even though men are more vulnerable. Let’s keep our brothers and sisters in our prayers. Our struggles are real but God is even more real! Heal us Lord and make us whole again. 🙏🏾
V Martin so true! I’m a 20 yr old female who battled with porn from 11-18 yrs old
You are very brave. Thanks for sharing
This is so true
Amen....
Pray for me Sister
I try hard but every now and then I fall.
What a relief to finally hear not just a sermon, but an HONEST battle plan on a subject that is tiptoed around in church. Sort of like …if we pretend it’s not an issue, then it will just go away. Thank you for tackling the “unmentionables”.
We are so glad it was an encouragement to you!! - Melissa, Team LC
As a 32 year old Christian man who has these struggles, I am so thankful for you and this video. So many churches are afraid to talk about “taboo” sins. And those are the ones that people deal with the most.

Anyone else believes this is the perfect quarantine message?
It's a perfect message for anytime
@@behumble8048 but ESPECIALLY during Quarantine.
Dont forget what Robert is saying. Its an addiction like drugs
Robert Paddier 🙋🏽♀️
Yup. It's sure up there!
Wow God showed this at the right time
"A warrior may not win every battle, but they never stop fighting"
After his disciples couldn't cast out the demon Jesus told them its because they needed to pray and fast also, not just praying but fasting too..A strong fast with no food at all combined with powerful prayer, against the pornography demon will destroy strongholds. Anoint the head with oil throughout the fast.
Amen
Dang
Does this means u are free to watch....
True, but his heart and mind should be craving for victory till his/ her last breath.
I am stuck with this sin for over 7 years from highschool until now. Please pray for me. It has detroyed my relationship, my carrer and my academic.
To everyone in this battle... God bless you for your efforts and I pray that you would become victorious 🙏🏼♥️

"Sins grow best in the dark".
This is so true!
But if you start to shine in dark many will be lead to salvation. Because truly darkeness does not overcome the light, John 1:5.
"Sin" only exists if there is a god to "sin" against, and you have shown ZERO evidence that invisible gods exist.
God is real and alive
He helps us and we can feel him mentally and spiritually
@@someguy7420 Making another baseless claim is not evidence for the claim. What EVIDENCE do you have that god is not just your IMAGINATION?
Only if your video equipment has low light capability.
I've been struggling for almost 5 years now. I watched this sermon when it was live, and when he started to list the 5 steps at 26:02, I remember bawling my eyes out from how tired I was with this addiction. I started bawling because the only thing I've done was the first one he listed, confessing to God. These past 5 years have been devastating, but not until watching this again today did I realize how far I've actually come in the past 2 years. Here I am now sitting at my desk watching this for the first time since it being live, and once again I'm bawling my eyes out, but this time with tears of joy. When I watched the part where he was listing the 5 steps, I started becoming overwhelmed with thankfulness because I had no idea how far I've actually come with this. I had nostalgia and flashbacks to when I watched this two years ago and remembered how hurt I was. I have been on my way to freedom for the past year by not only confessing to God but confessing to a best friend and removing the triggers, and I am on my way to getting the necessary help. I haven't felt this overjoyed in a long time. Thank you Lord!!
❤️Awesome!
I have been struggling for a year I hope this year I can get over this
5 days in now and I feel amazing. It has been hard, yes. I’m sure the next few days will be even harder, but God says he will NEVER let us face a temptation that is too difficult to overcome. With God’s strength and love we can do all things. Stay strong men, make yourselves proud

I have been struggling with porn
I'm 14 and very susceptible to it and I've done it again this time it felt so painful that i couldn't endure it it was so bad
I need prayers I've done this way too many times
I've prayed and repented too many times but I keep going back to it
I need advice and help
Please pray for me and I hope the Lord shows Me a way
Amen bro I still struggle and I hate it💔😭 but through the blood of Jesus Christ he always helps me!
Easy sin for young men to fall into. God delivered me from this sin along with drunkenness which seemed to go hand in hand. Thank you Jesus for your mercy, I will walk with you 🙌🏻
The fact that he mentioned he’s also vulnerable and not perfect shows humility and honesty. I can respect a pastor like that.
I couldn't agree more. I both respect and admire his ability to confess not only to God and his wife, but to an entire church and countless others on this platform. All for the sake of helping others. This is a TRUE man in so many ways!
@@bachiak1 No, I do not believe they are superior. However the Bible states that those who hold the position of pastor or teacher are held to a higher standard of accountability for their actions. Unfortunately, some pastors DO act like they are superior to us and the fact this man most certainly does not is why I respect him so much.
@@mominator7274 i agree. being humble no matter what is your status is key
Same
He swore as well I respect that just like me

Hey bro I am going through this too. Remember that u cannot beat this sin on your own, surrender to Jesus Christ and let him fight your battles for you and give u the strength to resist temptation. God bless you bro, God has given us victory through Jesus Christ.
I used to be an addict but Jesus Christ set me free through the power of prayer but the key is to believe that he can heal you

I feel the shackles breaking my warrior brothers! Amen and Praise be to God! 🙏
I sure hope I'm one of them but to be honest I don't have much hope for success. I've struggled with it since I was 11 and am now 60. I have cried out to God and swore "no more" too many times to count but always get tempted and always give in. Failing 1,001 times with zero success does not make me think this next time will be any different.
Wow I'm a Muslim listening to this pastor
he is a True man of god .this video moved me alot to be honest.Bless you

"Why battle a temptation in the future when you have the power to eliminate it today?"
Thats so true
This is definitely what I needed to hear. Always feeling like I had something to hide and feeling so broken and ashamed. It was hard to come to terms that all I wanted was true love from the people around me. Something or someone that wouldn’t be able to hurt me but always accept me. It feels to go to be recognized like this. Thank God for this ministry. Bless you all!

Porn watching has skyrocketed during this pandemic. So God KNEW this message would be necessary.
@YIsRael ISsACaR Yea bro that’s good for you, but he’s talking about the guys who aren’t married which are vast majority of the population. Those are the ones the devil is attacking they have no wives making them more vulnerable
@YIsRael ISsACaR facts ahch. I been like that too.
Porn watching has skyrocketed since the late 1990’s when computers were mass-produced.
Computers and the internet had a huge effect, to be sure!
Mastur-bation almost destroyed my life, It made me look bad physically but Jesus Christ saved me and He His helping me to recover from the effects of mas-turbation. I've discovered with my walk with Christ that righteousness is better than iniquity and there are always grievous consequences to sin because of my experience with mastur-bation. I now know that when God tells you to do something, it is because He wants your life to be better not worse, His commandments to us are always commandments of love, not pride or boasting. I want you to know that everytime man do things their way, It always ends up in destruction and sorrow, but when man do things God's way, it ends up in Joy, Peace, and more life.
Porn's not going to define my life. I was made for more and you were too.

Bro God is crazy😂 like I’m shook rn, soon I had a thought about it I was scrolling down on TH-cam then this pop up. Unbelievable😨 Thank you God🙏🏾 this man is still with me even through the worst
AJ Legacy stay strong my bro 🙏🏽✝️💪🏽. Being free from sexual sin is worth it.....experience
Please stop saying things like God is crazy. Please find a better way of saying things about The Most High YAHAWAH
@@jaysendonald6158 im sure he wasn't literal when he said that.
jaysen donald I feel you brodie, but nah I wasn’t saying it in that way. But bro “YAHAWAH” i searched it up, and That’s crazy cause lately people by my street been talking about that, having a picture of Jesus being black and speaking about it, with purple clothes on speaking it’s crazy. I would like to know more info bout that. Cs ever since we was little we was blinded by the truth Nd I would like to know...
AJ Legacy. Please accept my apologies , thing is most people say stuff about The Most High YAHAWAH in a certain way , even though they mean well. When it comes to The Most High YAHAWAH, I think it's best to express how you feel about Him and when mentioning His name in a respectful way .
This is a problem that I have constantly struggled with and have fought hard to get away from. Thank you for spreading this message ❤️
I don't go to church but I felt every word I needed that wake up call thank you sir ❤️
I’m glad that he’s choosing to openly talk about this. I also wish other churches would discuss this problem !
Definitely! And maybe domestic violence next?
@@cindykaye3152 porn
There’s a number of subjects that churches don’t preach on that they should
@@elizabethstanton403 He's dealt with porn. Now, I wish he would tackle domestic violence.
I wish the church would start to prepare people for the great deception that’s about to come... governments around the world are getting ready for “disclosure”... where they announce that “aliens” are real... aliens are “real” But are not flesh and blood beings from another planet, they are demonic entities. Christians look into project blue beam, and do some research on cern, the bottomless pit, and their connection to these demonic entities that are showing up in our skies. Look into alien abductions (demonic possession) it’s been documented the only way to get them to stop when it’s hapoeninf to you is to call upon Jesus. Stay strong in your faith in Jesus he will get us through these dark times.

Thank you lord Jesus.
I'm 55, been married for 30 years with two beautiful children. And I really needed to hear this today I've been walking with Christ for 36 years and and I am in prison ministry and I really needed to hear this today I am always potentially vulnerable. I have struggled with this most of my life. Thank you for posting this.
I was watching porn 5 times a day or more for several years. I'm now 28 and I haven't watched porn for over 6 years. Myself and my partner made the decision to wait until marriage in 2015. I'm married with a 3 year old son and free from porn. Thank God! God's word will cut addictions out of your life (Hebrews 4:12)
If you need help drop me a line. If I can overcome with God, so can you! Resist! (James 4:7)

I was addicted to porn for a long time, I seen videos where people got over their addiction but I didn't have the faith that I ever could stop. I got saved and asks the Lord for forgiveness, I would stop watching for a week then temptation hit me and I'd go right back.
I sat down beside my bed and cried out to God, asking to give me strength throughout this time of temptation. This September will make a year, it was very hard and sometimes I do have lustful thoughts but you have to let the Holy Spirit come in and rebuke the devil everytime, God bless you all!!
Pray for Me!! I am Fighting it

Yeah man I use to play minimal once a day and it would go on for years.
It all started when I was a young teenager but I would never touch. When I got a bit older I got addicted to the pleasure and explosiveness and I went too far with it. It was very bad.
I WANT CHANGE SO BAD!!!LORD CONTINUE TO GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!!
tamia hinton amen
go make your own strength, give up alcohol, eat healthy sensible food, go to the gym, exercise! your body is a temple, and your mind needs to be free of religious propoganda!
Read my comments above and see if you can understand the wisdom that is being shown to you!!!
SuperHulk Rules if it’s not the wisdom of God I don’t want it but thanks!!
The wisdom of God isn't something anybody can have, but generally is definitely something worth listening to! There is no wisdom in worshipping someone who was justifiably executed on a cross due to their actions, and having done that to themselves implies folly!
There is no wisdom involved in being involved with any religion that has evidently been involved with sexual perversion with children, and provably so. The american church has paid out over $4billion to victims of members of the church who cant control themselves where young children are involved, so they should be the last ones advising anyone about pornography! Tasteful pictures are ok, but sex, that being the act of making love, instead of simply the function of sex, with no emotion and meaning, isn't worth knowing about! Of course young men, like young girls are apt to investigate their sexuality, nothing wrong with that! but a relationship is always nicer and much more satisfying than a magazine I would imagine!
SuperHulk Rules idc about the ways of people, that’s the reason why we need Jesus now .. Humanity Needs a savior I’m off this post God bless Much love!
amazing i never remembered watching this ever, and it popped up on my feed after i just gave in to temptation. Then i read the top comment that said this was not a accident this video is here because god loves you. Thats crazy. I wanna be freed from this.

God does love you and know that you're not the only one facing this battle. Your brothers in christ are fighting with you.
I keep watching this sermon, over and over. This is the 9th time now. God really speaks to me through this, to the pastor and the church this is a great sermon! Keep up the great work spreading God's message and lessons we can learn about the way we should live life.
I'm not a Christian, but I must say this information has come to me at a time I need it most
The bible is full of not only history but facts that help us understand ourselves and each other. You don't have to belive to need these things or to use them. Let me ask you this. Would you rather have a gun and not need it? Or need it and not have a gun.
Watch the Living Waters channel :)
Kamichi Kora That's awesome. I glad to hear the message touched you.
Kamichi Kora well if you look right you can see the work of the heavenly father
You cannot live without Jesus. Forget about the religion it's about your relationship with your Heavenly Father and He loves you soo much
I pray and hope this pastor stays simple and humble even when his ministry will get bigger. I love how this pastor speaks the truth.

You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Phil 4:13
Praying for you bro
I’ve been there. God delivered me from the gay lifestyle, porn, so much more. He is able. Rely on Him. Renew your mind the Word, spend time with Him daily.
God delivered me from porn a few years ago and I never looked back! It feels so good to be free. If he did it for me, I'm certain he'll deliver you too! Just sincerely repent and ask God to take it away from you and He will! Renew your mind DAILY by reading the Bible and spend time with him in prayer (set aside a special time for prayer and Bible study, early in the am b4 starting your day). He loves you and wants to free you from this bondage. He died so that u could be free! I'm believing God for your healing and deliverance ❤
I haven’t slipped up in about 3 months, but this week I’ve really been struggling with temptation. I almost gave in, but by the grace of God this video popped up on my homepage. He is always on time.
Pretty sure the TH-cam algorithm does that.
Some days I wish God would have just made me asexual.
Braves Fan92 3 months is awesome mate! Keep fighting the good fight!
Stay humble. That's how you will get through it. But also the words "I'm choosing not to"...
Amen!!!! 3 months in a BIG deal. Your mind is like a television. Turn the channel. Don’t put yourself in position to be tempted. Get married and sex with your wife. Not a joke brother. Be blessed.
I'm struggeling with this and came upon your sermon. Its so awesome. Thank you so much 😢
What light and liberating truth! How good to be assured that God doesn't condemn but wants us to grow up to him and be set free from all our weights. God plus the Church equals Liberation.

Thank you. I needed to hear this today. I’ve been trying to support my husband of 13 years through his recovery from this addiction. There is so much pain, but seeing him as a wounded person and a child of God first helps give clarity. We have all sinned, but through Gods Grace we can be free and find healing. Thank you. I also want to recommend The Vow series from Life Church for all married couples. My husband and I have been watching those as well and they are so good.
Lacy,
Thank you for sharing part of your journey with us. Praising God that you are able to stand with your husband through recovery. That is an amazing way to look at your husband that way first that he is a wounded persona and a child of God. Thank you for recommending the VOW as well to all married couples.❤️

I started saying this throughout the day, "Lord, take my thoughts captive and my distractions away so that I may honor you."
As you continue to pursue God for freedom there are a few messages Pastor Craig recorded that are about the battle with pornography. Here are a few I would like to recommend for you - the first is called Warrior: Your Porn Battle Plan (you can watch it here 👉 go2.lc/yourbattleplan). The second message series I would like to recommend is called Fight (you can watch this one here 👉 go2.lc/fight). If there’s anything else that we can be praying for, please let us know!
Nate Lemos: I started saying this throughout the day
Jesus said you shall know them by their fruit - what does your life look like? If you are still living in habitual sin and are a slave to sin then you need to be born again. You need to determine where you are in the process of being born again, there are roughly 4 stages.
th-cam.com/video/XdcfVlbdmvo/w-d-xo.html
Stage 1 is the unrepentant person who is a slave to sin and hasn't repented(turned from their sin) yet. This person feels nothing when they sin and their heart is hard. Stage 2 is the person who is ready and wants to turn from sin and has repented. God has given them a new heart and they feel remorse/guilt when they sin, but they are still a slave to sin.
th-cam.com/video/7s9Dmdm6jpY/w-d-xo.html
Stage 3 is the person who has repented and has been baptized on their own faith. This person experiences freedom and is no longer a slave to sin , but they don't have any power in their life. Stage 4 is the person who has repented, been baptized and received the Holy Spirit. This person has made the choice to deny themselves and follow Christ, and to yield to the spirit of God(Holy Spirit) to allow Christ to live through them and do the will of God(Father). This person can be used by God to share the gospel, make disciples, and demonstrate the power of God - confirming that signs follow born again believers.
th-cam.com/video/pMuLAZD-R2g/w-d-xo.html
I recommend you check out the videos it might help you figure out what your next move should be. If you need help getting baptized you can do that online these days just reach out there are people who can help God bless.

When you wake up from the dream say the Lord's prayer a few times then go back to sleep.
After his disciples couldn't cast out the demon Jesus told them its because they needed to pray and fast also, not just praying but fasting too..A strong fast with no food at all combined with powerful prayer, against the pornography demon will destroy strongholds. Anoint the head with oil throughout the fast.
“You aren’t where you were supposed to be and saw something you weren’t supposed to see” really spoke to me
Amen i believe i will be healed from this sin now and forever....i hope to follow the right steps in reviving my relationship with Christ....Amen

Hey @Steve Enosh I am praying for you you right now. God of all things I pray for Steve in this moment. The devil keeps tripping him and is trying to keep him in the darkness. May you shine your light and love on him so he can resist all the temptations in his life. Fill him with your love and whenever the devil lies to him cover him with the truth- that he is fearfully and wonderfully made, that he is not alone for you will never leave him nor forsake him and that he is the temple of the Lord, that God loves him so much so that he sent his only son to die for him, that he will be set free for he believes in Jesus.I pray in Jesus Christ name Amen.🙏
Do not give up Steve the devil sees you trying to escape and he doesn’t like that. Keep at it never give up, the devil will give you many disappointments so that you lose hope in Christ. Cry to our Lord, we are crying to him on your behalf too❤️🙏The Lord is your strength and his strength is most visible in your weaknesses. Tell him all your weakness and you will see his strength.🙏
