Don’t let your house stay empty now it is cleaned. Fill your heart and thoughts with the Word of God. Build in these strategies like our brother Daily Discipled shares in the video to avoid temptation. Also make defensive strongholds that unmask seductive thoughts. Every woman is not only a body. It’s a person that can lose her soul. It’s someone’s daughter. Would her parents be proud knowing that she exposes her body on this way? Ofcourse not. Every single porn picture is a sad story of a sheep that has gone astray. Still like watching it? Don’t focus on lust only. The problem isn’t lust, the problem is sin. The problem with any addiction is that it keeps you away from growing to holiness. That’s God’s plan with your life! Saved to be sanctified. You only see that particular sin, while your heart is full of other sins which you don’t see or work on. So work your anger, envy, see that row in Galatians 5.
@@zoro9840 Stay strong brother, I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s super hard to not give in. I am still struggling myself, but I just reach out to the Lord and pray for the temptation of the enemy to flee from me.
It's very saddening to read stuff like this... In the Quran, King David and Solomon (God's peace and blessing be upon them) were incredibly responsible and exemplary men. It's terrible how the OT defames them... It's terrible what the Bible has done to these stories... The scriptures are supposed to be about God - but most of the content in them is barely about God. These scriptures are called "holy", but there is not a single wholesome story (or role model) in the OT... It is actually the Quran that is truly about God and about stories that can get you to God.
@Elmhart the Bible (is its current form) was composed by depraved men that didn't know God. You clearly see that in how vile most parts of the Bible are. The Qur'an, which is a pure and perfect book, is the only way we can now truly understand God.
@@JC.Realm7 I'm sorry, after you admitted the Bible was written by depraved sinners and some other stuff that probably admitted that every holy book is written by sinners and is imperfect. Otherwise, you've got a huge blind spot.
I’m porn free for 4 months by the grace of God. I don’t even feel tempted to lust over woman anymore because I trust that God will meet my need in one woman who will be my soul mate. I’m being patient and working on myself and I’m lust free by faith and grace.
@@FRL1344absolutely, I am looking for the one myself. However it is necessary to be realistic, your wife won’t satisfy ever desire all the time. And even as a traditional man, I agree that people are much more than outlets. However if you go with the flow and make sure your partners needs are met because intercourse is a two way road. A lot of Christian men fall victim to that trap. But dude your absolutely awesome for being able to stand strong. But remain humble, and dude you got it in the bag.
@@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX How does this please the flesh? I’m glad he’s talking about this too since I experience the same things. When the world around you would tell you to enjoy it, it’s refreshing to finally hear a single voice giving advice on how to fight it.
Years ago my Wife and I were at church and we had a guest speaker who came to talk about this exact same thing. I have forgotten his name, but I do remember he was sitting down the entire sermon. He had like a big looking chair that leaned back quite a bit. A lady that wasn't a regular stood up and started yelling at the pastor for what he was talking about. She was escorted out obviously. It was sad to see. This stuff needs to be talked about not just in Christianity, but to everyone. Pornography is damaging.
I was tempted bad today, and I prayed for God to help me overcome this. I grabbed my headphones and turned on TH-cam and saw this video. Praise be to God!
It's the cycle of modern society. It's hard to stop porn completely. Just try to keep it under YOUR control, delete all platforms that reduce your controlling ability.
I had that addiction as well but God set me free after regular prayer and fasting, Engage in prayer and fasting I believe God will set you free remember Jesus said some demons only leave through prayer and fasting. And with your own strength you cannot beat an addiction you need the power of the holy spirit. So please engage in Fasting, seek God and ask him to baptize you with the holy spirit and disconect you from everything of darkness in your life.

I nailed Him to that tree, that brings tears to my eyes...He freely gave it all for us, why can't we give up our sin for Him? Thank God for His grace and mercy through Christ. Thank God for freedom.
It doesn't stop because YOUR BODY IS LITERALLY pumped full of chemicals to give you a sexual drive. It's not sin, the devil - or magic. It's literally thousands of years of biology. The way the human race survived, was by men having chemicals that fueled them to mate (which then ensured the survival of the species). Just because you marry, that isn't going to suddenly turn off your chemicals. However, I feel like cheating is a whole different thing. You have to be a real scumbag with zero morals if you are okay with cheating on your wife/husband. I've been married 7 years to my best friend now, and I could never cheat on her. I literally get sick in my stomach looking at other women. I get a knot in my stomach if I ever did anything that would hurt her. If you don't have that feeling, then something is wrong with your marriage. You should love your partner so much, that you would never hurt them. I get that men are always going to be horny because of their chemicals. I do all the time. But I NEVER have the urge to sleep with someone else because of it. Just go whack one out in the bathroom. Sleeping with someone else is a CHOICE.
Also, i'd say include your wife in your battle. Let her know gently that lust is everyman's battle. Be gentle because many women take this very personally. As if your temptation was her fault. Once she understands its just a part of being a man, she can encourage you and help you with fight against temptation. Stay strong
This is incredibly important to keep in mind and can potentially ruin your marriage. Whatever lustful habits you have before marriage will carry over. Including pornography and masterbation. It's better to start fighting these battles when you're young and single. It separates you from God and your spouse.
@@benjaminwatt2436 this is not just a man’s battle. I am a woman who had a p*rn addiction for 10 years. Lust is the thorn in my flesh that I have been fighting for yeeeears. Not just a mans things. I’ve also talked to many female friends who’s biggest struggle is lust. Don’t make it a mans thing, it makes woman in the church who struggle with it feel even more ashamed and too scared to ever come forward because there must be something wrong with them for having that struggle. Makes us feel alone, shamed, and like there’s something deeply wrong with us.
Please, pray for me. As a girl, I was raised hearing my youth pastors talk to the boys about this issue, so as I got older, I always thought it was a men's issue. So I've felt alone in this for so long. But you've spoken about women with the same issue as me and it's been so incredibly helpful. UPDATE: i’ve been free of temptation from this issue for so long, i honestly forgot about this comment. God is so good!!!

Hey sis You're right and I'm glad that you've discovered that these temptations are not secluded to any sex One of the ways God helped to kill the spirit of lust was leading me to a godly church family where I submitted to a shepherd and ket God surround me with his people so I could grow Just like our own families the family of God is important, because like James said in chapter 5 of his letter, we must confess our sins to one another and pray for one another that we may be healed Are you part of a bible teaching and believing church? Are you surrounded by godly brethren? Do you have a shepherd who looks after you and whom you've submitted to? If you need help sis, please do reply this comment. I'm a brother in Christ with a heart to reach out and help God's people and I'd love to speak to you❤
The last statistic I read said 85% of men struggle with it, but so do 40% of women. BUT 100% of women struggle with emotional fantasizing and adultry in their hearts. 😮 You're not alone. God loves you. Keep doing the right thing! Maybe you can start a small group of women who talk about it.
You posted this EXACTLY when I was about to lust after my girlfriend, and I ran to TH-cam because the Bible calls us to FLEE from sexual immorality, and that’s precisely when I got this notification. Praise God.
Dude i looked at your Channel and you follows exaxtly the same Channels as I do Like Hamza, Forge labs, refomed Wiki , Noel deyzel etc. And also awesome clutch moment god gifted you
@@trpimirkarlovic838 is this the real 'wise' answer? personally I don't think so. I don't think the accurate answer to overcome immorality is to get married.
@@trpimirkarlovic838 yes bro, I know the scriptures on that . My point is that if your main motivation is sex, you're in the wrong way, this is my personal opinion
Started watching dirty videos at age 12 ,got addicted and now I’m 23 fighting for my life to quit my shameful addiction that has ruined my life . It’s not an easy road but it’s a road worth going 🙏
Give your heart to Jesus. If you give Him everything and keep your eyes on him you can do this. I'm in the same jounrey and it's been very hard, but Jesus has been my strength.
You are so correct. I overcame the spirit of lust by not listening to secular music anymore, not watching sex scenes in movies and unfollowing anyone who posts sexual stuff on IG. It wasn't easy but with the help of the holy spirit, I was able to gain daily victory. Emphasis on "DAILY VICTORY" because the enemy will always come up with daily challenges but we can overcome them with the help of the holy spirit. And if you fall; you rise again, confess and repent; then keep going.

I had such ease staying away from my temptation for MONTHS after I got saved. I guess that was like my “honeymoon” period with God, and getting into the word. I still occasionally get tempted though, but I think part of the reason is because my prayer life is lagging right now. I need to work on it.
I’m tired of the temptation, I’ve relapsed too many times, but the Holy Spirit has put this video in my feed for freedom. God Bless, today starts a new journey. A Holy one. All prayers appreciated.
bro see the thing i never understood was that god made testosterone which makes men lust so why is it a sin to feel that way and i don’t get it. and like they say if u get delivered u will be free from lust but wouldn’t that just mean that god shattered ur testosterone levels, that’s actually really bad for male health though. and quite frankly i kinda want my testosterone levels high if only there’s a way to keep high testosterone and free from lust at same time it would be the best of both worlds
@@konkoor881 He never said we wouldn’t have troubles in this world. If we kept our seed inside of us, as it was meant to be until marriage, our testosterone would be at an all time high. But we constantly release/relapse which drains our energy. Semen is so powerful it can create life. I think God wants us to focus our attention on Godly things rather than world things like lust. Even Jesus was tempted in the desert by satan. Temptation is everywhere, but we must be like Jesus and use the word of God to defend our hearts. Flee from sin brother, porn and masterbating will never be the answer. We must guard our hearts with the Word of God. Blessings to you.
I use social media very rarely. Doing so has strengthened my walk with God. Nearly two year clean from any type of pornographic content and masturbation. I thank the Lord everyday for the amazing deliverance in my life
@@Joshuaa.k.mi also quit social media, I quit TikTok, Snapchat and most DEFINITELY Instagram. Instagram in my experience is notorious for letting people post semi-pornographic posts
Something my pastor said other day really clarified my perspective on temptation. He said that temptation itself is not a sin, but giving into the temptation is a sin. For those of us who feel guilty for being tempted, resonating what he said in this video, we live in a world that's full of corruption, lust, and idolatry, so we can't really run away from being tempted. But looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith and praying about the temptation is KEY to being able to not give into it. Even in our LORD's prayer that Jesus taught us, there's a link that goes "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil". God knows we can be tempted, and He knows the struggle we face with overcoming temptation. But we must make sure that we are always consciously examining ourselves (our actions, thoughts, and deeds ) as we walk through this life. 💜
I had a friend who was a pentecostal Christian. So one day while talking, she told me that they don't watch movies or series. I even made fun of her and told her that Christianity is not regressive and that it's not a sin to watch movies. But boi do I understand her now! My flesh is definitely weak and we should all quit watching derogatory movies and series.
The spiritual realm works through all things that may influence us, “portals” through our eyes and ears that effect our thinking. Movies shows music social media etc etc can and will influence your thoughts.Before my husband was saved he was a horror movie fan, immediately he dropped it- that was one of the first things God clipped out just like that. It’s amazing but there are things he and I get tempted with just like everyone of you! The great news is, we have the tools given by God to withstand and conquer!
@ladawg81 I really don’t think that this is biblically accurate. 1 Cor 6:18 - “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” Paul is telling us to flee sexual temptation whenever we can. Joseph literally ran out of the room when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him. It’s good to not listen to certain types of music or watch certain films because what we consume really matters. Jesus said that what comes out of us is an overflow from the heart, and if we’re filling our heart with content that isn’t life-giving, then the fruit we bear won’t be life-giving either. Let me know what you think!
@ladawg81 i have a sort of metaphor that i would like to share with you. I admit it's not a perfect metaphor, but i think it still has merit. Say you're caught in the middle of a house fire. You know that the best way to overcome the fire is with water. But before you can use water, you have to get out of the fire if you can. because you're in immediate danger while still in the fire. This is how it is with temptations. Prayer is our strongest defense against temptations and we need to actively use it. But if we have the opportunity, we should get away from the temptation as quickly as possible. Why stay in a situation that could cause us to stumble?
@ladawg81 you are absolutely correct that we need our saviour to overcome our temptations. we are not strong enough to face them on our own. but i think if we have the opportunity to avoid a tempation, we should take that oppurtunity
Thank God I got exposed at 13-14. But now as a 16 year old I consider myself as adicted and pleed for all of your prayers. Since last year I started believing and I am working on my self since and going to get baptised in Russia next time I go there. God bless you all.
Good to hear man. I'm 15 and I'm struggling too: But God sees your efforts and he will honor them for sure. The breakthrough will certainly come. Pray for me as well though because I need some encouragement myself :(
Hey guys do you need help? If you need accountability it's totally understandable but the first step I believe is submitting to two things 1. The entrance of the word of God 2. The fellowship and company of brethren Are you part of a Bible believing church? I can't even begin to express how much God helped me by sending me to the church family I'm a part of and I'm sure he wants the same for all his children When we submit to Godly authority,the power of sin is easier broken in our lives. Are you submitted to a shepherd? It's a gift from God to help us grow and increase our grace to live above sin If you need help brother, please reply this comment. God's will is to set you free and I'd love to help you. Reply this comment, both of you. You're both very young and it's God's will to overflow his spirit within you. He's here to fill you with himself. I'd really love to talk to you both. We young men need to help each other ei? 😅
First I want to say, thank you so much Issac! This video helped me so much! I'm 15, and what has really helped me escape pornography was first making a clear cut decision to abstain from it and serve God no matter what. I had to get rid of my double-mindedness. Second, pornography no longer pleased me but instead caused more stress, which made it very unattractive. Third, I realized what God created sex for, to be between an man and a woman in marriage, and that kind of sex is the best kind because it aligns with how God created things. I also kept remembering how destructive porn is in marriages, and just in our lives in general. Fourth, I had to ask myself, "Why do I keep watching porn?" Find the root cause of you watching it. And this is so important because it could be something you watch like a certain movie or show that leads you to temptation, it could be because you're bored a lot, the people you surround yourself with, etc. It's not just spiritual attacks that can influence you to watch porn, but also your mental state/thoughts, and what is being fed to you or what you're feeding yourself. (Read Matthew 6:22-23). Fourth, I started relying on God's strength and not my own. This is KEY to overcoming any temptation because it is not by our own strength but by God's that we are able to stand against the devil. Without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5), and we need to realize that we are weak, and we rely on God's strength by reading His Word and thinking about what His Word says along with praying everyday for strength and deliverance from the temptation (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, 2 Corinthians 10:5 Hebrews 4:14-16, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Ephesians 6:10-18). Fifth, know that Jesus has set you free from sin and has given you power over sin from the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:17-18, Matthew 8:31-36, and 2 Timothy 1:7). Fight from victory, not for it (1 Corinthians 15:57). Godbless you in Jesus name, and thank you for being patient for reading all of this, it really pays off doesn't it? Edit: I was tempted again but I did not give in. Even though I used all of these things I said, I was missing something even more key 🔑, it was to pray without ceasing, to express my concerns to God and in the midst of prayer preaching to myself and praising Him. I also told my grandfather what I was going through, and I prayed with him. It helped dramatically. 🙏🏽
Bless you Father for the keeping of this young man. Drive away his enemies and may he be kept in the love of Christ abounding more and more that the body of Christ may be knitted together encouraging each other unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ our salvation. Thank you Father in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
Amen! That's what the word of God does. When study it and apply it in your life, you become free! Freedom is what Jesus died to give us. You are so young yet filled with so much wisdom thanks to God word. Keep fighting the good fight and keep testifying the good news that people can be free with God's way through Jesus. God bless 🙏
Thank you for the video. This problem is so hard for me to overcome and is a constant, daily struggle. I was an atheist, and I was giving into the temptation literally every single day. It was only when I found God and Jesus that I experienced any relief from this problem. I still struggle, but I have faith that if I keep praying and learning about God and Jesus’ teachings that I will overcome this addiction. Praying for anyone else who is experiencing this as well.
Still can't believe your 23, same here, and its hard particularly for our generation and those who are coming after because everything is online and everything is put out, even in the streets. Temptation is everywhere but we do have to trust and believe he will deliver us through it. What helps me a lot is knowing what triggers it in the same place (certain films, series, books, writing too, etc.) Watching and hearing clean and pure stuff helps. And focusing more on not being on my phone and excercising, nice hobbies, school work. God bless and praying for all of us! 🙏🏾
@@ibrahimismail7881 I never said he was 35 I just said I thought he was older than he looked pretty much. Not really a specific age. If I were to guess he can pass to be 26 years old?
Yeah I’m 20 now and it found me at 8 no need to feel alone many people are finding it at a younger and younger age because of the access to technology that parents don’t really understand what it does to their children because they didn’t grow up with it and do not know how detrimental it can be for many different reasons. You’ll get free from it just focus on Christ and Yahweh’s will for u
I hate this world like seriously there is temptation and also there are so many people trying to tempt you to lust but the thing is I've got used to looking away instantly.
Oh my goodness. The honesty in this video breaks my heart. I’m in tears. Haven’t watched something this beautiful in years. Or ever. Bless you my brother in Christ🙏🏼
makes me so happy to see men like you who strive to live a Holy Christian life! At the same time I feel sad as to why many people don't take the Word of God seriously while they claim to be 'Christians'. God bless you brother!
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 It took me years to understand how to fight this problem. Thank God, I feel like I have finally found freedom in this area of my life. One thing I noticed would build up this urge in me to watch porn was that I used to spend too much time entertaining myself (video games, movies, tv shows). I was neglecting God and His Word, and I was walking in disobedience, clearly. God was not first in my life. As I’m spending more time in His presence and in His Word, I don’t feel as drawn to those things as before. I’m learning to take delight in the Lord, and He faithfully satisfies my soul. “In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:11-14
Though it’s tragic this is such a common event, I also find it comforting that there are people out there with the same struggles as me and finding the same solutions
I was scrolling through TH-cam looking for lust and found this. I’m more satisfied that I found this than what I would’ve found. I believe God put this video in my life and gave me the choice to watch it or pass on. I’m glad I watched it. Thank you. God bless us on our journey to each one of us.
It's nice God gave this video to you. It's much too hard for God to heal sick and dying children around the globe or to stop dictators from murdering people by the millions. It's even too hard for God to keep earthquakes, like the one in Turkey, from killing 48,000 people... not to mention hurricanes. At least God can place a TH-cam video in your feed to protect you from your [natural] sexual desires. It's nice to see him doing something in the world.
I recently was freed from lust and I’m proud to say that God has given me the freedom from it. “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” 👑
Whenever I fall into temptation or I’m feeling weak, I just say the part from 2 Corinthians 12:10 which says “For when I’m weak, then I am Strong”. It has helped me a lot coz Jesus gives me strength to resist
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 1 Corinthians 12:25-27 We are with you in prayer. All of us.
Love this video! I struggle with lust and been free from pornography for a good few weeks now - God is so good! The Bible is right when it says flee from sexual immorality. Literally flee, a friend helped me in saying, go sit with family. Go outside or even declaring scriptures out loud. 100% to starve the sin! So good!
Hi Caitlin. My struggle with lust started when I was around 12 (I'm 28 now so the battle has been raging for over half my life). I struggled with pornography for years but between 2020 and 2021, I experienced freedom from it only to relapse again. The battle is so weary because I realize that it's so detrimental to my fellowship with God. There's a quote by Thomas Watson that says *"The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains."* I'm just so exhausted with the grief that comes after falling, and the feeling that I'm constantly letting Him down 😔.
I found encouragement in a two-part teaching by Pastor J. Macarthur titled "Understanding the Believer's Battle With Sin". It's been a huge blessing to me in the midst of my struggle. (The algorithm keeps deleting my comment every time I post the links directly 🤦♂️) I hope they'll help. Be blessed and may Christ continually strengthen us as we face these battles. 🛐🙏
@@NC_27 thank you for sharing Nic! It’s crazy how lust creeps into our lives at such a young age. I was exposed when I was about 8/9 and then a few years later struggled with porn for about 10 years. I’m SO glad and glory to our Father and the Holy Spirit interceding in your life! Such a powerful testimony!!🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you so much for the encouragement brother! God is so good!🙌🏼
@@caitlindebacker5166 This verse is so encouraging: *And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.* _Philippians 1:6 ESV_ It's a reminder that though we are burdened by our struggles with sin, it's merely temporary. God will one day usher us into glory where we will be free from the very presence of sin. 😊
@@caitlindebacker5166 It's interesting I notice girls start a lot younger than boys usually. I didn't know it was possible to start before puberty until recently. I was shy of 15 and got free at 23 for 4 months then I slipped back into it on and off for the next 2 months and I'm almost 2 weeks clean from it again now. I was doing great and just had to learn from the small doorways of opportunity I gave to Satan to eventually lead me astray. Now that I'm praying in tongues it's a game changer because the holy spirit intercedes to God our perfect will of our hearts needs for us. God bless sis and hope you're still going strong😇🙏🏼
I'm a single man living alone, so I can't just leave my phone with someone else. But another Bible verse says "If your eye offends you, pluck it out. It's better to enter heaven without an eye than to lose your soul in hell." So in place I'm getting a Nokia cell phone. If you're not responsible enough with a smartphone, then this might be a good choice for you.
Yes the enemy of our soul wants to make us think we are weak but making no provision for the flesh is the bravest thing that anyone of us can do it takes constant vigilance
John 10:10”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus wants all good for you Follow him today while u still can. John 4:16”Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one gets to the father expect through him”:)
im muslim and i find your message so pure. We should fill our heart with more faith and god to fight the temptations. I hope someday christians and muslims come together.
I'm sure it will happen someday. God has spoken to both our religions, and he always wanted his creations to be peaceful and respectful with each other, and one day, we will realise how much actually bonds our two religions together against the forces of evil. God wants us to prosper in peace with each other, I'm absolutely sure of that.
They will during the end times (one world religion, the big 3) but real Christians wont. Jesus is not just a prophet and why is allah called the deceiver? The devil is the father of lies.
I’ve struggled like crazy with lust for most of my adolescence, and last year God delivered me and I felt so relieved..but I’ve fallen even harder into this battle. Please pray for me!!
Been there. God's not ashamed of you. He is kind to the wicked and ungrateful (Luke 6:35), so even when you feel like you fall into one or both categories, what is His disposition towards you? Kindness. He disciplines those He loves (when they sin), but there's no anger from Him towards those who repent. God'll never shame you for repenting.
Falling harder after being convicted by the law of God is a good opportunity to pray to God to make your relationship closer to Him and ask where you lack viewing Him in the proper Light to give Him that bearing you run to pornography for instead. As He is all things to us and with us. Though He is not a wife, women are created in God’s image and therefore are as precious and beautiful as He is. And His conduct toward the Church, or body (orphans, widows, foreigner / stranger-the least of these) is righteous and pure-knightly in layman. Chivalry is of the Lord and is joyful to give and receive. Hope this made sense and an aid hopefully. Romans 12:2 ; Phillip 4:8,9 Prayers and peace and blessings brother 🙏🏾
I made this comment two months ago, and the Bible tells us to give testimony of the many great things that God has done in our life and so here I am… last Friday I finally got to hear and feel God close to me again. Reaffirming me and reminding me that I’m HIS son and that I am important to Him. When we fall the enemy’s favorite lie to tell you is that you’re not worthy enough of salvation… but the truth is God regardless of our mistakes still chooses to love us, He still desires an intimate relationship with His creation. It’s beautiful that the creator of the stars and the heavens wants to hear from us aint it?
Great advice man! I was trying to quit watching porn ever since I started watching it at the age of 15 because I always felt disgusted. Quit watching porn about a year ago after 5 years when I couldn't handle the shame and disgust anymore. I knew deep down that I was sinning. The problem didn't end there... I would still keep thinking about it and my flesh just gives in. I noticed that exposure to soft porn literally all over social media and movies was a trigger. Quit soc med except for yt. I really wanna cancel my prime and netflix subscription. I'm praying to God to help me with this. He helped me quit porn, he'll help me get rid of lustful thoughts too. I ❤️Jesus Christ my Lord
@@lb7625 sermons is what helps those towards God, it's like saying God over preachers.. how do you suppose the word of God will get out to others so they can connect, relate and understand the word and bible, if one doesn't share it towards those that can hear and accept it?
I’ve noticed if I pray during the temptation Jesus will remove it Thank you for your great godly advice friend. I will use this to fight my battles and win! No more feeding, it’s time to destroy the beast.
As a 14yr boy starting my nofap journey, I found this really helpful, and I pray to strengthen me against lustful temptations Update: I'm going to be honest I'm 15 now, and I have been set back. but that won't stop me from continuing my journey. Update: I've failed again. But that won't stop me ( also, I'll be coming back to edit this every now and then) Update: I'm doing pretty good, I relapsed a few times, but I've gone almost another week without failing.

A bit of practical advice: If you feel sexually frustrated, try doing the deed without using pornography. The main thing isn’t to stop sexual desire entirely (you can’t), but to stop the addiction to lust; To stop the addiction to the dopamine you get from endless searching and finding. You’re starting this journey at a good time in your life, you’ll do just fine my man. Don’t forget to talk to girls too, it really helps.
I found self pleasuring at the age of 5 and p0rn at the age of 10 and since then I just can escape it. In the last few months I've really put it in my mind that I'm going to stop. I went 2 or 3 weeks and went back now im on 4 or 5 days and I'm going to get through this with the power of Christ! Please pray for me still though it means a lot
I found freedom from Lust after more than 10 years of struggling. I simply pray each day for protection over mind, I immediately rebuke lustful thoughts and I do NOT watch pornographic content i.e Tiktok, instagram ect. God will help you if you are willing to make a true, geniune change in your life. Amen and great video.
Accountability for sure! I struggled with porn from a preteen age until after I got married at 21. I was too ashamed when I was younger to seek help. Porn was always a "man problem" so I was even more embarrassed being a woman addicted to pornography. I came clean to my husband early on in our marriage. I told him every time I watched it, and then every time I was even tempted. He never judged me or held it over my head when we argued 😂 he just showed me what forgiveness and love looks like. I haven't watched in years. It's gross to me now. I thank God for knowing exactly what I needed. I try everyday to be the godly wife my husband deserves and to keep our marriage pure ❤️ Another thing that helped was sticky notes with Bible verses. I stuck them everywhere!
I had that addiction as well but God set me free after regular prayer and fasting, Engage in prayer and fasting I believe God will set you free remember Jesus said some demons only leave through prayer and fasting. And with your own strength you cannot beat an addiction you need the power of the holy spirit. So please engage in Fasting, seek God and ask him to baptize you with the holy spirit and disconect you from everything of darkness in your life.
I've fought temptation and lust on my own back when I wasn't a christian, and even if I went months and almost a year without relapsing, at some point it crept back in my life for short periods of time, but still. If you're fighting lust, do it with God's help by praying and reading the bible consistently.
As a practicing Catholic, I wholeheartedly agree with you! I fell into this addiction when I was about 10 years old and have been hooked eversince (I'm 25 now) but have been actively fighting it the past 2-3 years. What really helped me was getting off social media entirely (I don't count youtube but that's different debate). I still have my accounts with various platforms but I hardly go on them anymore and I find it SO FREEING! Thank you for making this video.
@@trevrockrock16 I'm sorry that you've had a rough time. Regardless of what religion I'm in, don't lose hope. If you're seeing that porn is causing problems in your life then try to find what works for you for bettering your life and for others. For me it's my faith in the church but for you it may be something entirely different. Nothing in this world happens without a reason. Believe in something that makes your life better.
@@trevrockrock16 I agree. [Matthew 7:22-23] "On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers." The average person meeting a christian is a semi difficult moment for them. On the surface it's great that they can start to believe in a bigger purpose for their lives but if it just stops at sidewalk preaching then they may miss how to apply the scriptures to their lives. That's why the Catholic church doesn't focus on just preaching but also living what we preach. Now no one is perfect, we all have flaws. but that's why we have Faith and Tradition to help us become better. Not just for ourselves but for others as well. Again, living the Faith as an example for others to follow. It's a relationship and practicing the Church laws.
@@trevrockrock16 I can see why you might think that the Church has no tradition. Matt 15:8-9 makes it seem like all the current things the Church does is made by man. But you need to remember that Christ is talking to the Pharisees and Scribes who were only teaching on the Old Covenant. But Jesus is the fulfillment of the New Covenant as the Son of God walking among us. This leads me to your first point. Yes, No man alone has the authority to make laws for the entire Church. But Man is not alone. You have to ask yourself, "who were the people who wrote the books of the bible?" Prophets, Kings, and... The Disciples who lived with Jesus. They wrote down all that he did and taught. So to say that tradition doesn't exist, that would discredit all of what they wrote. Including all the moments that demonstrate the Sacraments. Baptism = John the Baptist [Acts 13:24], Confession = Disciples [John 20:23], Communion = Last Supper [Matt 26:26-28], Confirmation = Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles [Acts 2:1-4], Anointing of the Sick = The Disciples going out [Mark 6:13], Matrimony = The Wedding Feast at Cana [John 2:1-12], Holy Orders = Establishment of the Church [Matt 16:18-19]. And yes the Pope doesn't have any spiritual power. Technically no one does, unless they are asking for God to work through them. Priests are always asking God to work through them. that's why they are always In Persona Christi, "In the person of Christ" hence during confession "I absolve you of your sins, IN THE NAME of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT." I have a problem with the people that say they have healed people because they believe they have the power and God only facilitated when it should be the other way around. Which leads to the next point. Yes, the saints may be dead and we could defintiely pray directly to God. But remember that God also gave them authority and power to perform miracles. Even when Judas killed himself, the rest of the Disciples still had to keep the practices that Christ directed them. They held a "council of sorts" to determine who would replace Judas. [Acts 1:23-26] I'm even mixing Mary into this section too because you're right! Mary is not above Christ. However, She is without original sin as the prophets said that the Lord would be born from a virgin. And the Angel said to Mary, "Hail, Mary, Full of Grace!..." FULL OF GRACE, means NO SIN. God predestined for her to bear His Son in order to fulfill the prophecy. The fifth commandment states, "Honor your father and mother" and so at the Wedding Feast at Cana, before it was even time for Jesus to start his ministry, He obeyed His mother even though He was God and it was not yet his time. He still followed His Father's Commandments even though they were form the Old Testament. And yes, making idols is forbidden in all Christian denominations, however, the paintings and statues that Catholics make are not to idolize the saints but instead to honor the place they had in connection to Our Lord. If anyone makes it an idol and worships it then that is a clear sin. But Catholics ALWAYS ask for the saints intercession to God. And that point disproves your last that Catholicism is a pagan religion. Otherthings I can comment on: "Counting beads are worthless" not unless Mary said it herself at Fatima before the world wars where there were MANY witnesses (mostly witnessing the sun crashing towards Earth). Some who didn't even believe in God at all and some from the gov't who wanted to shut down ALL prayer. "Giving money to an organization to get yourself out of spiritual trouble is heresy." That's the church members helping to pay for the physical building. Electricity, water, supplies, etc. Basic stuff for ANY establishment, however, the Church is NOT A MARKET. That's not what I'm saying. People made temples in the old days as well. The reason Christ got made at the temples was because they were doing business other than helping the Church's teachings grow and reach other people. "...you people don't even bother to bear the Name of Christ at all." We do actually. Catholics are Christian. Anyone who follows Christ is a Christian, but since our teachings come from Rome, where all of Christ's teachings and Passion took place, we don't have Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide. We have Faith, Scripture, and Sacred Tradition. We still practice what the bible has been teaching since the birth of Christ. Lastly, "Self-flagellation is stupidity." I 100% agree! Self harm or mutilation is NEVER the right answer. I enjoyed this discourse. Thank you! I think you are missing a lot of what the Catholic faith actually believes and teaches. I suggest you do a bit more research and check out the Catechism as well. I'm not asking you to convert, but maybe this will help you understand our side better.
@@trevrockrock16 *sigh* you need help man. I gave you a lot of reasons and examples and made a bunch of counter points. you're just not listening. Don't keep your mind so rigid. it's better to have a flexible one that can bend. I can tell if i kept trying to give you answers you'll just continue to argue. I'm stopping the discussion here. I was even trying to connect with what you were saying by agreeing with some of your points and correcting you when you made a mistake but you haven't been civilized, you've been antagonistic and that doesn't help anyone. Believers and non believers alike. come back when you're willing to learn more and be more selfless. I'm praying for you.

I just got back from camp, and I was finally comfortable enough to share my sinful proclivities and struggles, with my counselor. I now have someone I can text or call when I’m struggling.
I went through something similar. Around the same age as well. I’m turning 21 this fall and it still lingers in the back of my mind. I really needed this thank you.
I too struggle with lust. Though I don’t voluntarily relieve myself anymore. I still have the thoughts, and have wet dreams. But I trust God will do all that is needed to give me freedom from Sin so that I may spend eternity with him.
that trust is so good to have. i used to struggle with lust also, and when i made the decision to stop watching pornography, i would have wet dreams at least weekly. eventually, i was so fed up with being attacked in my dreams that every night, i prayed for divine protection from perverse attacks, and i still do. those dreams have since ceased. praise God! may we be strengthened in our walk with Christ, that we may daily deny our flesh and stay our feet toward the path of righteousness.
@@repentandtrustinchrist I've been struggling with wet dreams for years, and I've never known how to stop it entirely. Might I ask what you did to help?
You don’t get to heaven by stopping sin, we go to heaven because of Christ and what he accomplished on the cross for all of us. So don’t condemn yourself, keep trying but regardless you still are going to heaven
So young yet so wise. Good message my friend! I’ve struggled with lust and pornography for 20 years but have began now really battling against it by using the exact strategies you described in this video. When I was your age I didn’t do this and as a result have been stuck in lust and addiction for a long long time. I am 35 now. If you keep this mindset my friend YOU WILL GO VERY FAR. You are more ahead of the game then you realize compared to men your age. Always come back to this and you will continue to grow and grow😊Keep fighting to all who are struggling and May the Lord bless you all and thank you for this video!
It’s been about 5 months for me since I decided I needed to quit. I have never been happier and I realized the horrible impact it had on my life. I’m lucky enough to have a very strong friend group that I can talk to about my struggles, some of whom have had these same problems before. More people need to talk about it and be open to help more people because it is destroying us! Thank you for this video.
I’ve been battling this addiction for years. Thank you for making this video. All my brother’s and sister’s battling this addiction I will pray for you, PLEASE PRAY for Me!

In my own experience of struggling with lust, I have found that fasting and praying have really helped me overcome my flesh. I feel like it’s easier to overcome my flesh after fasting.
The timing is just so good! Here is why (WARNING long story): A lust is 1 of a few reasons that can absolutely destroy my spiritual personality (like literally disable it for quite some time), and from time to time I've fallen into temptations and some time after was just hating myself so much for that because I knew it was wrong... And also I knew the consequences as well since I've already been through that. Yet I still was falling over and over again (maybe not that often, but even once in a few months or something was more than enough to turn my whole life on 180 degrees...) After a big break lately it started happening again... And my spiritual state was already not in a good shape for quite some time for different reasons. So I fell once then came back to God and repented after some time, then short after I fell for the temptations again, this time it took me a bit less to come back to God (yet not as 'less' as it took to fell...). Then the same thing happened again, and today at work, unfortunately I work part-time at a hotel and 1 of 4 working days is Sunday, was quite a chill day, so in the morning I was holding those thoughts and at 1 point just sat and repented again... A few hours later after my work shift I went in McDonalds to have a lunch and I got recommended today's video from Pastor Craig Groeschel "Myths about Mental Health". Lemme tell you, it's been quite some time since the last time I watched any Christian content (except music), so I watched the whole video, it was a good sermon for sure. But then I got recommended this video here. I was done with my lunch and the video seemed quite nice so I decided to save it into "Watch Later" playlist (I think I have 180+ vids there, so I believe the chances to watch it from there were quite low). Not that long ago I came back home after a chill bike ride, and I had a bit of time before going to sleep, so I opened TH-cam. Well... Recommendations just don't miss some times :D I saw this as 1 of the top 3 recommended videos and was like: "Okay, it's only 10min, imma watch it while eating a snack" I'm so glad I decided to watch it! Just the fact that I'm not alone and I can completely relate to everything you said in the video is already so good. I really needed to hear that and I'm probably gonna rewatch this video once again. God never misses and can use even TH-cam recommendations to guide us :p I'll subscribe to this channel and maybe watch some more videos in the future. But thank you so much for sharing your experience and testimony, I hope 1 day I can do the same thing and maybe through my testimony destroy devil's plans in someone else's lives. Much love and stay blessed! 💙 (Additional thanks to all of those who decided to read the whole essay :D)
I was like 8 and was exposed to a lot and it corrupted my mind for years. It took my wife to show me how badly it had messed up my mind and it took Jesus to free me from it. I prayed and asked him to reveal the sprit of perverseness to me and to free me from it and he has! Praise the Lord my redeemer!
Thank you so much man! I’m 15 and have been struggling with these lustful battles, but thanks to people in the comments and this video I have officially today started my freedom journey! I ask for prayers please that I stay strong in this journey! 7 days went by, and I have fallen into it twice, but it’s progress because I used to fall into it every day, trying to stay strong
Hang in there, brother! I too stumbled today, but freedom is exactly what we are called to and we should stop at nothing less. Seek God daily for all that you need and you will find in time that he is always willing to provide it. (Colossians 3:10, which is near what he referenced in this video, was hopeful to me tonight.)

@@baldwin5510 thank you brother! This was very helpful! And recently I’ve felt I’ve felt in control and that sin can’t reach me! All glory to the Lord!
I was exposed to pornography at age 11, I've been consuming it since, now, 4 days before I turn 18, I've decided I wanted to turn from it entirely. It provides a temporary relief, but it leads to fear others will find out and shame for hours afterwards. Glad to see there's people who understand the struggle with the draw that lust has.

I'm glad 400k of people clicked in. Let get this to 1M guys. This world needs more religious discipline. Lust have hurt us since high school, not just mentally but physically (when the bully is threatening to keep his "girl" from you etc)
At the age of 16, my battle against lust had began. I’ve been doing pretty well, but I still have my pitfalls. This video has been great encouragement to keep fighting. Thank you
Never, never go back!!!! I was 9 and it took 30 years to overcome, Praise Jesus!!!! Three years delivered. I pray for any of my brothers and sisters struggling. There is hope, there is deliverance, and freedom in Jesus Name!!! He can break any and every chain in your life, surrender today and run like Joseph so fast that you leave your cloak!!! Amen
The hardest part, for me at least, was actually telling someone. It has been a back and forth fight to move on, but the last time I had tempation, I looked at the darkness around me, as if Satan was there, and said: 'No Satan, you have no hold on me.' I then prayed to Jesus right after that.
Bro, I thank you for this information. One thing though, the pictures in the thumbnail can be a temptation for some even though it is blurred, because it will probably tempt you to want to see more.
Your videos are an inspiration bro, I’m so glad to know a brother in Christ the same age who is saying good stuff and preaching the word. Thank you for doing what your doing and we are definitely not strong enough to beat this battle alone. Once you also realize That what your doing affects others you love and the full weight of that and the full weight of what Jesus did for us on the cross That’s a big game changer Much love and blessings
Dude i felt a strong urge of lust rn i was absolutely disguested with my myself and i prayed to God to help resist such a strong temptation and it worked my thoughts and my heart rate dropped thank you lord
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Chapter 1: a man walks down a road and falls down into a hole. Chapter 2: same man walks down the same road, this time he only plans to walk up to the edge of the hole and look in, he falls into the hole. Chapter 3: same man walks down the same road, this time he plans to just walk by the hole without looking in the hole, he falls into the hole. Chapter 4: the same man chooses to walk down a different road
I have tried my best clearing my life of those things that drive me to sin but I still have intrusive thoughts of lustful things and I'm so tired of it. Please pray for me
You are in my prayers Bella. What really helped me was really diving into reading the Bible, praying about my weaknesses and having a really close friend that is also a believer. She helped pray for me and I was able to trust her with my secrets.
I’m in the same boat, too. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16
I went through a period of my life that everyday i had intrusive thoughts it got so bad i thought i couldn’t control it, i felt frustrated I felt guilty. But a few things that helped me get over it was that learning that God wasn’t mad at me because he knew that those thoughts weren’t mine, that they were mental attacks from the enemy, so whenever i started getting those thoughts i just went into prayer, rebuked all intrusive thoughts in the mighty name of Jesus, and surrendered all my thought and dreams to the Lord and his protection, now this isn’t easy but if you keep giving this to God he will help you day by day. I hope this helps and remember even if u struggle on some days with God there’s nothing you can’t overcome James 4:7-8
My biggest stumbling block for lust by far is immodest women. I have to be honest even though we in the west hate modesty so much. Pray for me to have self control and to have to be able to divert my eyes.
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. And then when the weather was super hot here in the UK and this actually forced a bunch of women to not wear tight leggings and shorts (because, hey, tight things aren't actually keeping you cool) and instead wore long dresses, I finally saw a lot of a different kind of beauty out there in the park on a sunny Saturday. Huh, these women look feminine, and beautiful, and graceful, and I don't even know what their butt looks like! Huh. Women can be more than their bodies. I just wished a lot more of them would realise this.
You should be able to look at a woman and not have to run away with your eyes closed. Just saying, the idea that women should have to dress modestly so that men won’t be tempted is the exact reason why women have to wear hijabs in Muslim culture
@@mikemccool7575 it's not a woman's responsibility to stop a man from lusting, but as a woman I would never dress immodestly because it's disrespectful to the men who are trying to follow God's commandments. The freedoms we have as Americans or in the west in general don't exactly apply to us as Christians. We have a responsibility to each other as brothers and sisters in Christ to not cause each other to stumble. This goes both ways, too. It's hard for me to see men without their shirts on sometimes. Men aren't the only ones who experience lust.
This is so true !!, I used to “mess up “ (keeping it PG) everyday from 9th grade -11th grade . I then found a bit of freedom when I refocused my attention on God in solitude when I moved from my old place . I then met my current GF and that she became my accountability partner . Now instead of messing up everyday I would mess up only once every 2 months then 3 months . That changed how ever because as of recently I had the mind set of “oh I survived that last 3 months , I don’t have to be on guard as much and can do some of the old things I did before because I’m stronger “🤡. Boy was I wrong , God made it clear to me real quick that’s not how that works . We must ALWAYS be on guard . This month has been really rough on me because I let my guard down and I’m back to messing up everyday . However I know what I have to do to change and go back to living a free life , I just have to actually do it by changing every day actions I do . I’ve noticed the more I throw my self into doing ministry such as teaching Bible studies and going to prayer groups , the temptation are not as tempting . So now I’m pushing my self with the help of God to do as much for his Kingdom I possibly can and use this situation as my testimony. God bless anyone struggling with temptation of any type and I pray you found the strength and faith to push forward in Jesus name .
sorry just curious. how are you weak to porn but having a flesh and blood woman with you with real tits and ass and vagina is not a temptation that over powers you? Wouldn't that be much more of a burden on you to not feel the need to have sex with her? And from what i have read you are still not with her before marriage in another comment you left. So HOW in the hell do you get through that aspect. I am curious how that works. For me porn is because of the absence of other outlets. Not because its an obsession over real life. Did your porn usage skyrocket BECAUSE you are not exploring sexuality with your girlfriend and it's how you released that energy or is the obsession completely separate from her entirely. It's got to be connected somehow. otherwise i don't get how the real thing is easier to pass up versus random people you have never met and have no connection too for a few minutes. For me personally i just use it because i don't have other outlets to release that. Porn would be very easy for me to never open again had I been with someone yet.
I'm not christian, but this is so helpful, I feel ashamed to tell that I struggle with it, but this video really helped me to try to stop, I am one week in of trying to stop, I dont care how long it takes, I hope I stop at one point

Hey Man. The Bible says that Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous that he might bring us to God( 1 Peter 3:18). We all have sinned against God and deserve eternal death, but he is rich in mercy and Jesus died on the cross for sins that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life(John 3:16-18). For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ Our Lord(Romans 6:23). Repent and believe the gospel and God will give you a new heart( Mark 1:15).Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. The old has passed away, behold the new has come(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Can’t even remember when this ended for me. That feels incredible. It was definitely still active in my life in 2022, but I stopped counting the days so long ago and it’s probably coming up on 1 full year any time now. God is faithful. I never got on tiktok, ditched Instagram, stopped watching p after feeling convicted to the point of thinking my heart would literally stop if I kept going (the grace of God looks that way sometimes), I don’t watch movies or television if there is sex involved and I PRAY PRAY PRAY whenever I can feel it trying to attack me… prayer WORKS. The Holy Spirit works. Thanks be to God. He has given me this victory and I have never felt stronger, even when I feel weak. There is no giving in here.
I know a lot of y’all here may not want to hear it. But it’s true. I beat a handful of sins, including lust, that could have ruined my life by giving them to God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession). It works, I never struggled again with them. It was such a grace of God to me. God bless, 🙂
Don't ever think you have defeated sin. Only Jesus did that. We all will struggle to overcome sin until the day we go home, including you. To say YOU beat sin is arrogant at best. And to deny that it's the work of the Holy Spirit in our life to overcome sin is bordering on blasphamy.
I recognized when I had stoped reading my devotional over a week I had feel back into temptation so now I’m reading my devotional back and repented to God for my mistake and I also am fasting from social media for 30 days so I can get as closer to God as possible, please keep me in your prayers Christian community God loves you and so do i
I’ve been a hyper-sexual person for as long as i can remember.. I was sexually molested by an older woman in a pool when I was 10/11, and I can remember from there on out, being extremely sexually charged. I’ve turned so many people against me through the years because I’ve just said way too much open to stuff in messages, texts, etc that you just don’t think about when you’re in that “moment” of masturbation. The consequences and regret doesn’t hit you until after and it hits you like a wave, and it becomes a repetitive cycle that’s so insanely hard to break. I still to this day struggle with it more than anything in my life. Sexual addiction is real and it needs to be more socially talked about, so it’s something that can be worked on and somehow fixed for those who deal with it.
The same thing happened to me. It was by three separate people, including a family member, and it lasted a long time. I wish more Christians would realize that sexual sin tied into a history of child sexual abuse makes it that much harder to free yourself from it. People who were never molested but have lust issues, don't have the experience of reliving the trauma like we do. It's harder for them to empathize, when they don't have that dynamic. Most Christians who become free faster from porn or lust never had those experiences. It will take us longer than most of those individuals, but we won't lose hope, because God will heal us either beginning in this life or the next. At the end of the day, while we also must flee from immorality, we also have to look to God and spiritual counseling for healing.
I really loved how you said to block everything that even remotely tempts you. I see it as an hourglass, if you don’t block it off completely, sand is gonna pile up and you’re eventually gonna sin. Thanks for the video, man
I had that addiction as well but God set me free after regular prayer and fasting, Engage in prayer and fasting I believe God will set you free remember Jesus said some demons only leave through prayer and fasting. And with your own strength you cannot beat an addiction you need the power of the holy spirit. So please engage in Fasting, seek God and ask him to baptize you with the holy spirit and disconect you from everything of darkness in your life.
Whenever I truly do a deep dive into my soul and analyze what sins Im falling to the most; Sin of the flesh: lust seems to be the key factor. I pride myself on not lying, Cheating, Stealing , Being unfair or treating people bad. I try to live a morally righteous life but time and time again lust comes in. I can be scrolling through reddit, twitter, instagram and constant beautiful woman, sexual types of images or even thought provoking images are there. I go to the gym, the store and everywhere else and constant women around me, purely beautiful and the lust i feel is like a bottomless pit waiting to be filled with a never ending attempt. I try to snap out of it and adjust my thoughts immediately but wow its immensely hard. Ive started to try to ignore women, avoid any type of illicit content, conversations and even thoughts. This journey is a lifetime struggle and I hope to strengthen my soul regardless of how many times I fail. Great quote from a saint is “ Lord give me the will to want to change” And it dives into the sinners awareness that they themselves have no exact desire to even want to stop these harmful ways and perfect their soul; instead they pray and wish for the ability to have that craving to want that will so they can finally change theirs way.
Wherever you dwell, try to not check women out(except if you are trying to date or befriend one). If you happen to glance at a woman accidentally, have apathy inside your spirit and see beyond looks because looks will fade. Unfollow all people that tempt you, even friends. They will not find this weird at all if they are true friends. If you don't like to stay alone or if you burn with passion you should marry if you are ready to. If yes then you can start dating people that are God loving or people that are willing to change( I suggest marrying them only when they have truly changed). Master chastity for when it's important. At one point your wife might become pregnant what will you do then? You will have to remain chaste for 9 months until her labors are over and the infant/s is/are born. How will you act when she's on her period and you feel the pressure of lust leading you towards uncleanness? At last I suggest you pray in the morning and at night some time before you sleep . Pray however you want depending on your needs and it shall be given to you(Christ's words)... Always show respect to God in the way you pray and act in each and every situation. Always keep memory of him, love him truly above all things so you don't love him less. (Reading his word and praying will help). I suggest praying the prayers of the saints. I acknowledge that I don't know you and yet I care for you. that's why I give you advice. May God bless you!
Pray when you feel tempted and flee from sin before is consumed. Stay in prayer EVERYDAY it will give you clarity during the day, my bothers and sisters. Isaac, how many times you go to chuch a week?
I've been struggling with lust for a while, and I need to get rid of the things that keep me bound, yet I need to let go of those things. It's like the parable with Lot and his wife: They were told to not turn around, yet Lot's wife turned around and turned into dust.
I had that addiction as well but God set me free after regular prayer and fasting, Engage in prayer and fasting I believe God will set you free remember Jesus said some demons only leave through prayer and fasting. And with your own strength you cannot beat an addiction you need the power of the holy spirit.

Great video. Please guys, listen to this. Lust is like a raging, consuming fire. Ecspecially you young dudes! I'm thirteen, and I don't really struggle with lust as much as others, and that's probably because I protect myself against it. Don't get cocky; take the steps, however extreme you must go (just don't kill yourself) to fight against this.
I’m 2 months in to my freedom, my best record so far, I could use all the prayer I can get. Thanks everyone.
Don’t let your house stay empty now it is cleaned. Fill your heart and thoughts with the Word of God. Build in these strategies like our brother Daily Discipled shares in the video to avoid temptation.
Also make defensive strongholds that unmask seductive thoughts. Every woman is not only a body. It’s a person that can lose her soul. It’s someone’s daughter. Would her parents be proud knowing that she exposes her body on this way? Ofcourse not. Every single porn picture is a sad story of a sheep that has gone astray. Still like watching it?
Don’t focus on lust only. The problem isn’t lust, the problem is sin. The problem with any addiction is that it keeps you away from growing to holiness. That’s God’s plan with your life! Saved to be sanctified. You only see that particular sin, while your heart is full of other sins which you don’t see or work on. So work your anger, envy, see that row in Galatians 5.
10 days for me I’m feeling comfortable and I’m not even viewing it as a streak more like not something I want to do anymore
@@zoro9840 Stay strong brother, I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s super hard to not give in. I am still struggling myself, but I just reach out to the Lord and pray for the temptation of the enemy to flee from me.
@@ODEMUZIC Thank you so much for all of this.
You will be counting many more years of purity when you wholly depend on the Holy Spirit
If King David, Solomon, and Samson couldn’t beat lust on their own what hope do we have? We need Christs power.
amen
It's very saddening to read stuff like this... In the Quran, King David and Solomon (God's peace and blessing be upon them) were incredibly responsible and exemplary men. It's terrible how the OT defames them... It's terrible what the Bible has done to these stories...
The scriptures are supposed to be about God - but most of the content in them is barely about God. These scriptures are called "holy", but there is not a single wholesome story (or role model) in the OT...
It is actually the Quran that is truly about God and about stories that can get you to God.
@Elmhart the Bible (is its current form) was composed by depraved men that didn't know God. You clearly see that in how vile most parts of the Bible are. The Qur'an, which is a pure and perfect book, is the only way we can now truly understand God.
A to the men
@@JC.Realm7 I'm sorry, after you admitted the Bible was written by depraved sinners and some other stuff that probably admitted that every holy book is written by sinners and is imperfect. Otherwise, you've got a huge blind spot.
I’m porn free for 4 months by the grace of God. I don’t even feel tempted to lust over woman anymore because I trust that God will meet my need in one woman who will be my soul mate. I’m being patient and working on myself and I’m lust free by faith and grace.
It's necessary
Don’t doubt the lies you will tell to yourself. Take it from someone that has their dream girl. It’s the addiction to the sin itself
@@FRL1344absolutely, I am looking for the one myself. However it is necessary to be realistic, your wife won’t satisfy ever desire all the time. And even as a traditional man, I agree that people are much more than outlets. However if you go with the flow and make sure your partners needs are met because intercourse is a two way road. A lot of Christian men fall victim to that trap. But dude your absolutely awesome for being able to stand strong. But remain humble, and dude you got it in the bag.
Be careful. I thought I had it beat too and I relapsed hard
I hope I can be like that one day
I'm so glad to find a Christian who is genuinely talking about this stuff
you just like it, because it pleases your flesh.
@@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX you've misinterpreted the comment
@@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX How does this please the flesh? I’m glad he’s talking about this too since I experience the same things. When the world around you would tell you to enjoy it, it’s refreshing to finally hear a single voice giving advice on how to fight it.
There's also Matt Frad he did videos on this topic
Years ago my Wife and I were at church and we had a guest speaker who came to talk about this exact same thing. I have forgotten his name, but I do remember he was sitting down the entire sermon. He had like a big looking chair that leaned back quite a bit. A lady that wasn't a regular stood up and started yelling at the pastor for what he was talking about. She was escorted out obviously. It was sad to see. This stuff needs to be talked about not just in Christianity, but to everyone. Pornography is damaging.
I was tempted bad today, and I prayed for God to help me overcome this. I grabbed my headphones and turned on TH-cam and saw this video. Praise be to God!
Read Romans chapter 6 and seek God for revelation to what it means
It is hard to stop being tempted so just move and stay away from your phone it helped a lot

I nailed Him to that tree, that brings tears to my eyes...He freely gave it all for us, why can't we give up our sin for Him? Thank God for His grace and mercy through Christ. Thank God for freedom.
Just a heads up guys.... Just because you get married doesn't mean temptation stops. Keep your head down in prayer and stay vigilante. God bless.
It doesn't stop because YOUR BODY IS LITERALLY pumped full of chemicals to give you a sexual drive. It's not sin, the devil - or magic. It's literally thousands of years of biology. The way the human race survived, was by men having chemicals that fueled them to mate (which then ensured the survival of the species).
Just because you marry, that isn't going to suddenly turn off your chemicals. However, I feel like cheating is a whole different thing. You have to be a real scumbag with zero morals if you are okay with cheating on your wife/husband. I've been married 7 years to my best friend now, and I could never cheat on her. I literally get sick in my stomach looking at other women. I get a knot in my stomach if I ever did anything that would hurt her.
If you don't have that feeling, then something is wrong with your marriage. You should love your partner so much, that you would never hurt them. I get that men are always going to be horny because of their chemicals. I do all the time. But I NEVER have the urge to sleep with someone else because of it. Just go whack one out in the bathroom. Sleeping with someone else is a CHOICE.
Also, i'd say include your wife in your battle. Let her know gently that lust is everyman's battle. Be gentle because many women take this very personally. As if your temptation was her fault. Once she understands its just a part of being a man, she can encourage you and help you with fight against temptation. Stay strong
Amen and be aware of other plp who are married but do not honor it!
This is incredibly important to keep in mind and can potentially ruin your marriage. Whatever lustful habits you have before marriage will carry over. Including pornography and masterbation.
It's better to start fighting these battles when you're young and single. It separates you from God and your spouse.
@@benjaminwatt2436 this is not just a man’s battle. I am a woman who had a p*rn addiction for 10 years. Lust is the thorn in my flesh that I have been fighting for yeeeears. Not just a mans things.
I’ve also talked to many female friends who’s biggest struggle is lust.
Don’t make it a mans thing, it makes woman in the church who struggle with it feel even more ashamed and too scared to ever come forward because there must be something wrong with them for having that struggle.
Makes us feel alone, shamed, and like there’s something deeply wrong with us.
Please, pray for me. As a girl, I was raised hearing my youth pastors talk to the boys about this issue, so as I got older, I always thought it was a men's issue. So I've felt alone in this for so long. But you've spoken about women with the same issue as me and it's been so incredibly helpful.
UPDATE: i’ve been free of temptation from this issue for so long, i honestly forgot about this comment. God is so good!!!

Hey sis
You're right and I'm glad that you've discovered that these temptations are not secluded to any sex
One of the ways God helped to kill the spirit of lust was leading me to a godly church family where I submitted to a shepherd and ket God surround me with his people so I could grow
Just like our own families the family of God is important, because like James said in chapter 5 of his letter, we must confess our sins to one another and pray for one another that we may be healed
Are you part of a bible teaching and believing church? Are you surrounded by godly brethren? Do you have a shepherd who looks after you and whom you've submitted to?
If you need help sis, please do reply this comment. I'm a brother in Christ with a heart to reach out and help God's people and I'd love to speak to you❤
Hot! What kind of porn are you into?
I respect your honesty and courage
The last statistic I read said 85% of men struggle with it, but so do 40% of women. BUT 100% of women struggle with emotional fantasizing and adultry in their hearts. 😮 You're not alone. God loves you. Keep doing the right thing! Maybe you can start a small group of women who talk about it.
You posted this EXACTLY when I was about to lust after my girlfriend, and I ran to TH-cam because the Bible calls us to FLEE from sexual immorality, and that’s precisely when I got this notification. Praise God.

Same here brother

Keeping going brother!
You are so correct. I overcame the spirit of lust by not listening to secular music anymore, not watching sex scenes in movies and unfollowing anyone who posts sexual stuff on IG. It wasn't easy but with the help of the holy spirit, I was able to gain daily victory. Emphasis on "DAILY VICTORY" because the enemy will always come up with daily challenges but we can overcome them with the help of the holy spirit. And if you fall; you rise again, confess and repent; then keep going.
Please pray for me. I’m fighting this lust battle right now

Also 23, Been in a battle with this for 10+ years now. I like the Communion this video has brought. Inspirational
I had such ease staying away from my temptation for MONTHS after I got saved. I guess that was like my “honeymoon” period with God, and getting into the word. I still occasionally get tempted though, but I think part of the reason is because my prayer life is lagging right now. I need to work on it.
Prayer and fasting helps
I’m tired of the temptation, I’ve relapsed too many times, but the Holy Spirit has put this video in my feed for freedom. God Bless, today starts a new journey. A Holy one. All prayers appreciated.
I’m with you bro. ❤
bro see the thing i never understood was that god made testosterone which makes men lust so why is it a sin to feel that way and i don’t get it.
and like they say if u get delivered u will be free from lust but wouldn’t that just mean that god shattered ur testosterone levels, that’s actually really bad for male health though. and quite frankly i kinda want my testosterone levels high
if only there’s a way to keep high testosterone and free from lust at same time it would be the best of both worlds
@@konkoor881 He never said we wouldn’t have troubles in this world. If we kept our seed inside of us, as it was meant to be until marriage, our testosterone would be at an all time high. But we constantly release/relapse which drains our energy. Semen is so powerful it can create life. I think God wants us to focus our attention on Godly things rather than world things like lust. Even Jesus was tempted in the desert by satan. Temptation is everywhere, but we must be like Jesus and use the word of God to defend our hearts. Flee from sin brother, porn and masterbating will never be the answer. We must guard our hearts with the Word of God. Blessings to you.

@@Joshuaa.k.mi also quit social media, I quit TikTok, Snapchat and most DEFINITELY Instagram. Instagram in my experience is notorious for letting people post semi-pornographic posts
Something my pastor said other day really clarified my perspective on temptation. He said that temptation itself is not a sin, but giving into the temptation is a sin. For those of us who feel guilty for being tempted, resonating what he said in this video, we live in a world that's full of corruption, lust, and idolatry, so we can't really run away from being tempted. But looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith and praying about the temptation is KEY to being able to not give into it. Even in our LORD's prayer that Jesus taught us, there's a link that goes "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil". God knows we can be tempted, and He knows the struggle we face with overcoming temptation. But we must make sure that we are always consciously examining ourselves (our actions, thoughts, and deeds ) as we walk through this life. 💜
What about if you lust after someone you've already committed adultery?

I had a friend who was a pentecostal Christian. So one day while talking, she told me that they don't watch movies or series. I even made fun of her and told her that Christianity is not regressive and that it's not a sin to watch movies. But boi do I understand her now! My flesh is definitely weak and we should all quit watching derogatory movies and series.
Totally get it, and, like you, I never got it until I got older. Once we see something it's in our brains for good.
The spiritual realm works through all things that may influence us, “portals” through our eyes and ears that effect our thinking. Movies shows music social media etc etc can and will influence your thoughts.Before my husband was saved he was a horror movie fan, immediately he dropped it- that was one of the first things God clipped out just like that. It’s amazing but there are things he and I get tempted with just like everyone of you! The great news is, we have the tools given by God to withstand and conquer!
@ladawg81 I really don’t think that this is biblically accurate. 1 Cor 6:18 - “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” Paul is telling us to flee sexual temptation whenever we can. Joseph literally ran out of the room when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him. It’s good to not listen to certain types of music or watch certain films because what we consume really matters. Jesus said that what comes out of us is an overflow from the heart, and if we’re filling our heart with content that isn’t life-giving, then the fruit we bear won’t be life-giving either. Let me know what you think!
@ladawg81 i have a sort of metaphor that i would like to share with you. I admit it's not a perfect metaphor, but i think it still has merit.
Say you're caught in the middle of a house fire. You know that the best way to overcome the fire is with water. But before you can use water, you have to get out of the fire if you can. because you're in immediate danger while still in the fire.
This is how it is with temptations. Prayer is our strongest defense against temptations and we need to actively use it. But if we have the opportunity, we should get away from the temptation as quickly as possible. Why stay in a situation that could cause us to stumble?
@ladawg81 you are absolutely correct that we need our saviour to overcome our temptations. we are not strong enough to face them on our own. but i think if we have the opportunity to avoid a tempation, we should take that oppurtunity
Thank God I got exposed at 13-14. But now as a 16 year old I consider myself as adicted and pleed for all of your prayers. Since last year I started believing and I am working on my self since and going to get baptised in Russia next time I go there.
God bless you all.
Good to hear man.
I'm 15 and I'm struggling too:
But God sees your efforts and he will honor them for sure. The breakthrough will certainly come. Pray for me as well though because I need some encouragement myself :(
Hey guys
do you need help? If you need accountability it's totally understandable but the first step I believe is submitting to two things
1. The entrance of the word of God
2. The fellowship and company of brethren
Are you part of a Bible believing church? I can't even begin to express how much God helped me by sending me to the church family I'm a part of and I'm sure he wants the same for all his children
When we submit to Godly authority,the power of sin is easier broken in our lives. Are you submitted to a shepherd? It's a gift from God to help us grow and increase our grace to live above sin
If you need help brother, please reply this comment. God's will is to set you free and I'd love to help you. Reply this comment, both of you. You're both very young and it's God's will to overflow his spirit within you. He's here to fill you with himself. I'd really love to talk to you both. We young men need to help each other ei? 😅
plead
i love that you felt comfortable to talk
to your dad about your struggle at such a young age!
First I want to say, thank you so much Issac! This video helped me so much! I'm 15, and what has really helped me escape pornography was first making a clear cut decision to abstain from it and serve God no matter what. I had to get rid of my double-mindedness.
Second, pornography no longer pleased me but instead caused more stress, which made it very unattractive.
Third, I realized what God created sex for, to be between an man and a woman in marriage, and that kind of sex is the best kind because it aligns with how God created things. I also kept remembering how destructive porn is in marriages, and just in our lives in general.
Fourth, I had to ask myself, "Why do I keep watching porn?" Find the root cause of you watching it. And this is so important because it could be something you watch like a certain movie or show that leads you to temptation, it could be because you're bored a lot, the people you surround yourself with, etc. It's not just spiritual attacks that can influence you to watch porn, but also your mental state/thoughts, and what is being fed to you or what you're feeding yourself. (Read Matthew 6:22-23).
Fourth, I started relying on God's strength and not my own. This is KEY to overcoming any temptation because it is not by our own strength but by God's that we are able to stand against the devil. Without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5), and we need to realize that we are weak, and we rely on God's strength by reading His Word and thinking about what His Word says along with praying everyday for strength and deliverance from the temptation (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, 2 Corinthians 10:5 Hebrews 4:14-16, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Ephesians 6:10-18).
Fifth, know that Jesus has set you free from sin and has given you power over sin from the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:17-18, Matthew 8:31-36, and 2 Timothy 1:7). Fight from victory, not for it (1 Corinthians 15:57). Godbless you in Jesus name, and thank you for being patient for reading all of this, it really pays off doesn't it? Edit: I was tempted again but I did not give in. Even though I used all of these things I said, I was missing something even more key 🔑, it was to pray without ceasing, to express my concerns to God and in the midst of prayer preaching to myself and praising Him. I also told my grandfather what I was going through, and I prayed with him. It helped dramatically. 🙏🏽
Wonderful comment 💖
Bless you Father for the keeping of this young man.

Amen! That's what the word of God does. When study it and apply it in your life, you become free! Freedom is what Jesus died to give us. You are so young yet filled with so much wisdom thanks to God word. Keep fighting the good fight and keep testifying the good news that people can be free with God's way through Jesus. God bless 🙏
You young man give me hope for my daughters' future! 🙏🏿❤ God bless you, keep you, and make His face shine upon you!
You’re 14 and you’re expounding on this much truth?! Amen!! May God continue to bless you with His strength love knowledge and wisdom!!
Thank you for the video. This problem is so hard for me to overcome and is a constant, daily struggle. I was an atheist, and I was giving into the temptation literally every single day.
It was only when I found God and Jesus that I experienced any relief from this problem. I still struggle, but I have faith that if I keep praying and learning about God and Jesus’ teachings that I will overcome this addiction.
Praying for anyone else who is experiencing this as well.
Still can't believe your 23, same here, and its hard particularly for our generation and those who are coming after because everything is online and everything is put out, even in the streets. Temptation is everywhere but we do have to trust and believe he will deliver us through it. What helps me a lot is knowing what triggers it in the same place (certain films, series, books, writing too, etc.) Watching and hearing clean and pure stuff helps. And focusing more on not being on my phone and excercising, nice hobbies, school work. God bless and praying for all of us! 🙏🏾

As someone who was exposed to pornography at 7, this hits home. Thank you for sharing your own experiences, makes me not feel alone about this 🙂
I was exposed to it at 11 but started masturbating at 5 or 6. I got free at 13 in 2020 but up till now I still get tempted
Yeah I’m 20 now and it found me at 8 no need to feel alone many people are finding it at a younger and younger age because of the access to technology that parents don’t really understand what it does to their children because they didn’t grow up with it and do not know how detrimental it can be for many different reasons. You’ll get free from it just focus on Christ and Yahweh’s will for u
Yup, I was exposed at 8. Such a messy world we live in.
I hate this world like seriously there is temptation and also there are so many people trying to tempt you to lust but the thing is I've got used to looking away instantly.
7??????? And I thought 11 was young
Oh my goodness. The honesty in this video breaks my heart. I’m in tears. Haven’t watched something this beautiful in years. Or ever. Bless you my brother in Christ🙏🏼
makes me so happy to see men like you who strive to live a Holy Christian life! At the same time I feel sad as to why many people don't take the Word of God seriously while they claim to be 'Christians'. God bless you brother!
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
John 15:5
It took me years to understand how to fight this problem. Thank God, I feel like I have finally found freedom in this area of my life.
One thing I noticed would build up this urge in me to watch porn was that I used to spend too much time entertaining myself (video games, movies, tv shows). I was neglecting God and His Word, and I was walking in disobedience, clearly. God was not first in my life.
As I’m spending more time in His presence and in His Word, I don’t feel as drawn to those things as before. I’m learning to take delight in the Lord, and He faithfully satisfies my soul.
“In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:11-14
Though it’s tragic this is such a common event, I also find it comforting that there are people out there with the same struggles as me and finding the same solutions
I was scrolling through TH-cam looking for lust and found this. I’m more satisfied that I found this than what I would’ve found. I believe God put this video in my life and gave me the choice to watch it or pass on. I’m glad I watched it. Thank you. God bless us on our journey to each one of us.
It's nice God gave this video to you. It's much too hard for God to heal sick and dying children around the globe or to stop dictators from murdering people by the millions. It's even too hard for God to keep earthquakes, like the one in Turkey, from killing 48,000 people... not to mention hurricanes.
At least God can place a TH-cam video in your feed to protect you from your [natural] sexual desires. It's nice to see him doing something in the world.
No offense but why would you look on TH-cam and not pornhub?
This video and all the comments makes me wanna fap 🙃
I recently was freed from lust and I’m proud to say that God has given me the freedom from it. “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” 👑

Love this video! I struggle with lust and been free from pornography for a good few weeks now - God is so good! The Bible is right when it says flee from sexual immorality. Literally flee, a friend helped me in saying, go sit with family. Go outside or even declaring scriptures out loud. 100% to starve the sin! So good!
Hi Caitlin. My struggle with lust started when I was around 12 (I'm 28 now so the battle has been raging for over half my life). I struggled with pornography for years but between 2020 and 2021, I experienced freedom from it only to relapse again. The battle is so weary because I realize that it's so detrimental to my fellowship with God. There's a quote by Thomas Watson that says *"The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains."* I'm just so exhausted with the grief that comes after falling, and the feeling that I'm constantly letting Him down 😔.
I found encouragement in a two-part teaching by Pastor J. Macarthur titled "Understanding the Believer's Battle With Sin". It's been a huge blessing to me in the midst of my struggle. (The algorithm keeps deleting my comment every time I post the links directly 🤦♂️)
I hope they'll help. Be blessed and may Christ continually strengthen us as we face these battles. 🛐🙏
@@NC_27 thank you for sharing Nic! It’s crazy how lust creeps into our lives at such a young age. I was exposed when I was about 8/9 and then a few years later struggled with porn for about 10 years. I’m SO glad and glory to our Father and the Holy Spirit interceding in your life! Such a powerful testimony!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you so much for the encouragement brother! God is so good!🙌🏼
@@caitlindebacker5166 This verse is so encouraging:
*And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.*
_Philippians 1:6 ESV_
It's a reminder that though we are burdened by our struggles with sin, it's merely temporary. God will one day usher us into glory where we will be free from the very presence of sin. 😊
@@caitlindebacker5166 It's interesting I notice girls start a lot younger than boys usually. I didn't know it was possible to start before puberty until recently. I was shy of 15 and got free at 23 for 4 months then I slipped back into it on and off for the next 2 months and I'm almost 2 weeks clean from it again now. I was doing great and just had to learn from the small doorways of opportunity I gave to Satan to eventually lead me astray. Now that I'm praying in tongues it's a game changer because the holy spirit intercedes to God our perfect will of our hearts needs for us. God bless sis and hope you're still going strong😇🙏🏼
“We live in a pornographic society. We are continually assaulted by music media.” This quote really hit hard.
I'm a single man living alone, so I can't just leave my phone with someone else. But another Bible verse says "If your eye offends you, pluck it out. It's better to enter heaven without an eye than to lose your soul in hell." So in place I'm getting a Nokia cell phone. If you're not responsible enough with a smartphone, then this might be a good choice for you.
Wow man that’s actually a pretty god idea
I’ll be praying for you. I hope you are better now. Amen 🙏🏼
Yes the enemy of our soul wants to make us think we are weak but making no provision for the flesh is the bravest thing that anyone of us can do it takes constant vigilance
Facts
John 10:10”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus wants all good for you Follow him today while u still can. John 4:16”Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one gets to the father expect through him”:)
You’re so impressive! Did not think you were just 23. Amazing that you were only about 11 and have the courage to tell your dad. That’s amazing.
im muslim and i find your message so pure. We should fill our heart with more faith and god to fight the temptations. I hope someday christians and muslims come together.
I'm sure it will happen someday. God has spoken to both our religions, and he always wanted his creations to be peaceful and respectful with each other, and one day, we will realise how much actually bonds our two religions together against the forces of evil. God wants us to prosper in peace with each other, I'm absolutely sure of that.
@@maxiona714Islam doesn’t believe in God, because otherwise, they would believe in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior
Muhammad and Jesus just can’t get together. They are the very opposite!
They will during the end times (one world religion, the big 3) but real Christians wont. Jesus is not just a prophet and why is allah called the deceiver? The devil is the father of lies.
I’ve struggled like crazy with lust for most of my adolescence, and last year God delivered me and I felt so relieved..but I’ve fallen even harder into this battle. Please pray for me!!
I will!
Been there. God's not ashamed of you. He is kind to the wicked and ungrateful (Luke 6:35), so even when you feel like you fall into one or both categories, what is His disposition towards you? Kindness. He disciplines those He loves (when they sin), but there's no anger from Him towards those who repent. God'll never shame you for repenting.
You will always be addicted. Prove me wrong Jose
Falling harder after being convicted by the law of God is a good opportunity to pray to God to make your relationship closer to Him and ask where you lack viewing Him in the proper Light to give Him that bearing you run to pornography for instead. As He is all things to us and with us. Though He is not a wife, women are created in God’s image and therefore are as precious and beautiful as He is. And His conduct toward the Church, or body (orphans, widows, foreigner / stranger-the least of these) is righteous and pure-knightly in layman. Chivalry is of the Lord and is joyful to give and receive. Hope this made sense and an aid hopefully. Romans 12:2 ; Phillip 4:8,9
Prayers and peace and blessings brother 🙏🏾
I made this comment two months ago, and the Bible tells us to give testimony of the many great things that God has done in our life and so here I am… last Friday I finally got to hear and feel God close to me again. Reaffirming me and reminding me that I’m HIS son and that I am important to Him. When we fall the enemy’s favorite lie to tell you is that you’re not worthy enough of salvation… but the truth is God regardless of our mistakes still chooses to love us, He still desires an intimate relationship with His creation. It’s beautiful that the creator of the stars and the heavens wants to hear from us aint it?
Great advice man!
I was trying to quit watching porn ever since I started watching it at the age of 15 because I always felt disgusted. Quit watching porn about a year ago after 5 years when I couldn't handle the shame and disgust anymore. I knew deep down that I was sinning. The problem didn't end there... I would still keep thinking about it and my flesh just gives in. I noticed that exposure to soft porn literally all over social media and movies was a trigger. Quit soc med except for yt. I really wanna cancel my prime and netflix subscription.
I'm praying to God to help me with this. He helped me quit porn, he'll help me get rid of lustful thoughts too. I ❤️Jesus Christ my Lord

A bit of practical advice: If you feel sexually frustrated, try doing the deed without using pornography. The main thing isn’t to stop sexual desire entirely (you can’t), but to stop the addiction to lust; To stop the addiction to the dopamine you get from endless searching and finding.
You’re starting this journey at a good time in your life, you’ll do just fine my man.
Don’t forget to talk to girls too, it really helps.
I found self pleasuring at the age of 5 and p0rn at the age of 10 and since then I just can escape it. In the last few months I've really put it in my mind that I'm going to stop. I went 2 or 3 weeks and went back now im on 4 or 5 days and I'm going to get through this with the power of Christ! Please pray for me still though it means a lot
Stay strong!! Keep in mind God’s love for you and how much more powerful and important it is than giving in to the temptations!

I found freedom from Lust after more than 10 years of struggling. I simply pray each day for protection over mind, I immediately rebuke lustful thoughts and I do NOT watch pornographic content i.e Tiktok, instagram ect. God will help you if you are willing to make a true, geniune change in your life. Amen and great video.
Accountability for sure! I struggled with porn from a preteen age until after I got married at 21. I was too ashamed when I was younger to seek help. Porn was always a "man problem" so I was even more embarrassed being a woman addicted to pornography. I came clean to my husband early on in our marriage. I told him every time I watched it, and then every time I was even tempted. He never judged me or held it over my head when we argued 😂 he just showed me what forgiveness and love looks like. I haven't watched in years. It's gross to me now. I thank God for knowing exactly what I needed. I try everyday to be the godly wife my husband deserves and to keep our marriage pure ❤️
Another thing that helped was sticky notes with Bible verses. I stuck them everywhere!
I am happy for your marriage.God bless!😊
How you doing now love
I struggle with lust a lot. This was helpful. Thank you for your work.
I had that addiction as well but God set me free after regular prayer and fasting, Engage in prayer and fasting I believe God will set you free remember Jesus said some demons only leave through prayer and fasting. And with your own strength you cannot beat an addiction you need the power of the holy spirit. So please engage in Fasting, seek God and ask him to baptize you with the holy spirit and disconect you from everything of darkness in your life.
7:24 "today is the last day, or this is the last time I'll do it."
That one is the biggest lie I used to tell myself
to my brothers and sisters in Christ, i'm proud of y'all for seeking God and trying to seek guidance. You can't change on your own, you need God.
I've fought temptation and lust on my own back when I wasn't a christian, and even if I went months and almost a year without relapsing, at some point it crept back in my life for short periods of time, but still. If you're fighting lust, do it with God's help by praying and reading the bible consistently.
As a practicing Catholic, I wholeheartedly agree with you! I fell into this addiction when I was about 10 years old and have been hooked eversince (I'm 25 now) but have been actively fighting it the past 2-3 years. What really helped me was getting off social media entirely (I don't count youtube but that's different debate). I still have my accounts with various platforms but I hardly go on them anymore and I find it SO FREEING! Thank you for making this video.
I Also think getting off all social media Is the Solution, except for TH-cam.
@@trevrockrock16 I'm sorry that you've had a rough time. Regardless of what religion I'm in, don't lose hope. If you're seeing that porn is causing problems in your life then try to find what works for you for bettering your life and for others. For me it's my faith in the church but for you it may be something entirely different. Nothing in this world happens without a reason. Believe in something that makes your life better.
@@trevrockrock16 I agree. [Matthew 7:22-23] "On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers." The average person meeting a christian is a semi difficult moment for them. On the surface it's great that they can start to believe in a bigger purpose for their lives but if it just stops at sidewalk preaching then they may miss how to apply the scriptures to their lives. That's why the Catholic church doesn't focus on just preaching but also living what we preach. Now no one is perfect, we all have flaws. but that's why we have Faith and Tradition to help us become better. Not just for ourselves but for others as well. Again, living the Faith as an example for others to follow. It's a relationship and practicing the Church laws.
@@trevrockrock16 I can see why you might think that the Church has no tradition. Matt 15:8-9 makes it seem like all the current things the Church does is made by man. But you need to remember that Christ is talking to the Pharisees and Scribes who were only teaching on the Old Covenant. But Jesus is the fulfillment of the New Covenant as the Son of God walking among us. This leads me to your first point.
Yes, No man alone has the authority to make laws for the entire Church. But Man is not alone. You have to ask yourself, "who were the people who wrote the books of the bible?" Prophets, Kings, and... The Disciples who lived with Jesus. They wrote down all that he did and taught. So to say that tradition doesn't exist, that would discredit all of what they wrote. Including all the moments that demonstrate the Sacraments. Baptism = John the Baptist [Acts 13:24], Confession = Disciples [John 20:23], Communion = Last Supper [Matt 26:26-28], Confirmation = Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles [Acts 2:1-4], Anointing of the Sick = The Disciples going out [Mark 6:13], Matrimony = The Wedding Feast at Cana [John 2:1-12], Holy Orders = Establishment of the Church [Matt 16:18-19]. And yes the Pope doesn't have any spiritual power. Technically no one does, unless they are asking for God to work through them. Priests are always asking God to work through them. that's why they are always In Persona Christi, "In the person of Christ" hence during confession "I absolve you of your sins, IN THE NAME of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT." I have a problem with the people that say they have healed people because they believe they have the power and God only facilitated when it should be the other way around. Which leads to the next point.
Yes, the saints may be dead and we could defintiely pray directly to God. But remember that God also gave them authority and power to perform miracles. Even when Judas killed himself, the rest of the Disciples still had to keep the practices that Christ directed them. They held a "council of sorts" to determine who would replace Judas. [Acts 1:23-26] I'm even mixing Mary into this section too because you're right! Mary is not above Christ. However, She is without original sin as the prophets said that the Lord would be born from a virgin. And the Angel said to Mary, "Hail, Mary, Full of Grace!..." FULL OF GRACE, means NO SIN. God predestined for her to bear His Son in order to fulfill the prophecy. The fifth commandment states, "Honor your father and mother" and so at the Wedding Feast at Cana, before it was even time for Jesus to start his ministry, He obeyed His mother even though He was God and it was not yet his time. He still followed His Father's Commandments even though they were form the Old Testament. And yes, making idols is forbidden in all Christian denominations, however, the paintings and statues that Catholics make are not to idolize the saints but instead to honor the place they had in connection to Our Lord. If anyone makes it an idol and worships it then that is a clear sin. But Catholics ALWAYS ask for the saints intercession to God. And that point disproves your last that Catholicism is a pagan religion.
Otherthings I can comment on:
"Counting beads are worthless" not unless Mary said it herself at Fatima before the world wars where there were MANY witnesses (mostly witnessing the sun crashing towards Earth). Some who didn't even believe in God at all and some from the gov't who wanted to shut down ALL prayer.
"Giving money to an organization to get yourself out of spiritual trouble is heresy." That's the church members helping to pay for the physical building. Electricity, water, supplies, etc. Basic stuff for ANY establishment, however, the Church is NOT A MARKET. That's not what I'm saying. People made temples in the old days as well. The reason Christ got made at the temples was because they were doing business other than helping the Church's teachings grow and reach other people.
"...you people don't even bother to bear the Name of Christ at all." We do actually. Catholics are Christian. Anyone who follows Christ is a Christian, but since our teachings come from Rome, where all of Christ's teachings and Passion took place, we don't have Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide. We have Faith, Scripture, and Sacred Tradition. We still practice what the bible has been teaching since the birth of Christ.
Lastly, "Self-flagellation is stupidity." I 100% agree! Self harm or mutilation is NEVER the right answer.
I enjoyed this discourse. Thank you! I think you are missing a lot of what the Catholic faith actually believes and teaches. I suggest you do a bit more research and check out the Catechism as well.
I'm not asking you to convert, but maybe this will help you understand our side better.
@@trevrockrock16 *sigh* you need help man. I gave you a lot of reasons and examples and made a bunch of counter points. you're just not listening. Don't keep your mind so rigid. it's better to have a flexible one that can bend. I can tell if i kept trying to give you answers you'll just continue to argue. I'm stopping the discussion here. I was even trying to connect with what you were saying by agreeing with some of your points and correcting you when you made a mistake but you haven't been civilized, you've been antagonistic and that doesn't help anyone.

that trust is so good to have. i used to struggle with lust also, and when i made the decision to stop watching pornography, i would have wet dreams at least weekly.
eventually, i was so fed up with being attacked in my dreams that every night, i prayed for divine protection from perverse attacks, and i still do. those dreams have since ceased. praise God! may we be strengthened in our walk with Christ, that we may daily deny our flesh and stay our feet toward the path of righteousness.

In my own experience of struggling with lust, I have found that fasting and praying have really helped me overcome my flesh. I feel like it’s easier to overcome my flesh after fasting.
The timing is just so good!
Here is why (WARNING long story):
A lust is 1 of a few reasons that can absolutely destroy my spiritual personality (like literally disable it for quite some time), and from time to time I've fallen into temptations and some time after was just hating myself so much for that because I knew it was wrong... And also I knew the consequences as well since I've already been through that. Yet I still was falling over and over again (maybe not that often, but even once in a few months or something was more than enough to turn my whole life on 180 degrees...)
After a big break lately it started happening again... And my spiritual state was already not in a good shape for quite some time for different reasons.
So I fell once then came back to God and repented after some time, then short after I fell for the temptations again, this time it took me a bit less to come back to God (yet not as 'less' as it took to fell...). Then the same thing happened again, and today at work, unfortunately I work part-time at a hotel and 1 of 4 working days is Sunday, was quite a chill day, so in the morning I was holding those thoughts and at 1 point just sat and repented again...
A few hours later after my work shift I went in McDonalds to have a lunch and I got recommended today's video from Pastor Craig Groeschel "Myths about Mental Health".
Lemme tell you, it's been quite some time since the last time I watched any Christian content (except music), so I watched the whole video, it was a good sermon for sure.
But then I got recommended this video here. I was done with my lunch and the video seemed quite nice so I decided to save it into "Watch Later" playlist (I think I have 180+ vids there, so I believe the chances to watch it from there were quite low).
Not that long ago I came back home after a chill bike ride, and I had a bit of time before going to sleep, so I opened TH-cam.
Well... Recommendations just don't miss some times :D
I saw this as 1 of the top 3 recommended videos and was like: "Okay, it's only 10min, imma watch it while eating a snack"
I'm so glad I decided to watch it!
Just the fact that I'm not alone and I can completely relate to everything you said in the video is already so good. I really needed to hear that and I'm probably gonna rewatch this video once again.
God never misses and can use even TH-cam recommendations to guide us :p
I'll subscribe to this channel and maybe watch some more videos in the future.
But thank you so much for sharing your experience and testimony, I hope 1 day I can do the same thing and maybe through my testimony destroy devil's plans in someone else's lives.
Much love and stay blessed! 💙

I was like 8 and was exposed to a lot and it corrupted my mind for years. It took my wife to show me how badly it had messed up my mind and it took Jesus to free me from it. I prayed and asked him to reveal the sprit of perverseness to me and to free me from it and he has! Praise the Lord my redeemer!
Thank you so much man! I’m 15 and have been struggling with these lustful battles, but thanks to people in the comments and this video I have officially today started my freedom journey! I ask for prayers please that I stay strong in this journey!
7 days went by, and I have fallen into it twice, but it’s progress because I used to fall into it every day, trying to stay strong
Hang in there, brother! I too stumbled today, but freedom is exactly what we are called to and we should stop at nothing less. Seek God daily for all that you need and you will find in time that he is always willing to provide it. (Colossians 3:10, which is near what he referenced in this video, was hopeful to me tonight.)

@@baldwin5510 thank you brother! This was very helpful! And recently I’ve felt I’ve felt in control and that sin can’t reach me! All glory to the Lord!
I ALWAYS appreciate loving Christians willing to talk about this topic that Satan likes to keep hidden in the dark!!!! Thank you brother!
I was exposed to pornography at age 11, I've been consuming it since, now, 4 days before I turn 18, I've decided I wanted to turn from it entirely. It provides a temporary relief, but it leads to fear others will find out and shame for hours afterwards. Glad to see there's people who understand the struggle with the draw that lust has.
The longer you stay away from it, the easier it is, plus getting older also helps.
Are you still on it brother?

I'm glad 400k of people clicked in. Let get this to 1M guys. This world needs more religious discipline. Lust have hurt us since high school, not just mentally but physically (when the bully is threatening to keep his "girl" from you etc)

I may not be all that religious, but this content and message is nothing but brilliant! Good bless you, sir, and all who read this!
At the age of 16, my battle against lust had began. I’ve been doing pretty well, but I still have my pitfalls. This video has been great encouragement to keep fighting. Thank you
You can be victorious, dont give up! Ive been clean since november2016 thanks to Jesus! Amen
Never, never go back!!!! I was 9 and it took 30 years to overcome, Praise Jesus!!!! Three years delivered. I pray for any of my brothers and sisters struggling. There is hope, there is deliverance, and freedom in Jesus Name!!! He can break any and every chain in your life, surrender today and run like Joseph so fast that you leave your cloak!!! Amen
Amen! Praise the Lord! 👍
The hardest part, for me at least, was actually telling someone. It has been a back and forth fight to move on, but the last time I had tempation, I looked at the darkness around me, as if Satan was there, and said: 'No Satan, you have no hold on me.' I then prayed to Jesus right after that.
Dipping deep into the bible and avoiding smart phones helped me and I know it can help you too
Bro, I thank you for this information. One thing though, the pictures in the thumbnail can be a temptation for some even though it is blurred, because it will probably tempt you to want to see more.
Your videos are an inspiration bro, I’m so glad to know a brother in Christ the same age who is saying good stuff and preaching the word. Thank you for doing what your doing and we are definitely not strong enough to beat this battle alone.
Once you also realize
That what your doing affects others you love and the full weight of that and the full weight of what Jesus did for us on the cross
That’s a big game changer
Much love and blessings
Dude i felt a strong urge of lust rn i was absolutely disguested with my myself and i prayed to God to help resist such a strong temptation and it worked my thoughts and my heart rate dropped thank you lord
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Chapter 1: a man walks down a road and falls down into a hole. Chapter 2: same man walks down the same road, this time he only plans to walk up to the edge of the hole and look in, he falls into the hole. Chapter 3: same man walks down the same road, this time he plans to just walk by the hole without looking in the hole, he falls into the hole. Chapter 4: the same man chooses to walk down a different road
Pretty accurate analogy. Got a chuckle out of it.
I have tried my best clearing my life of those things that drive me to sin but I still have intrusive thoughts of lustful things and I'm so tired of it. Please pray for me
You are in my prayers Bella. What really helped me was really diving into reading the Bible, praying about my weaknesses and having a really close friend that is also a believer. She helped pray for me and I was able to trust her with my secrets.
I’m in the same boat, too.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
James 5:16
Same here please pray for me too 😭
I went through a period of my life that everyday i had intrusive thoughts it got so bad i thought i couldn’t control it, i felt frustrated I felt guilty. But a few things that helped me get over it was that learning that God wasn’t mad at me because he knew that those thoughts weren’t mine, that they were mental attacks from the enemy, so whenever i started getting those thoughts i just went into prayer, rebuked all intrusive thoughts in the mighty name of Jesus, and surrendered all my thought and dreams to the Lord and his protection, now this isn’t easy but if you keep giving this to God he will help you day by day. I hope this helps and remember even if u struggle on some days with God there’s nothing you can’t overcome James 4:7-8
Intrusive thoughts are temptation, which is different from sin.
Really needed this video today. Thank you. I found some peace last night when I prayed for protection.
You definitely were way more responsible than I was a kid
My biggest stumbling block for lust by far is immodest women. I have to be honest even though we in the west hate modesty so much. Pray for me to have self control and to have to be able to divert my eyes.
Tell me about it bro. The tights…
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. And then when the weather was super hot here in the UK and this actually forced a bunch of women to not wear tight leggings and shorts (because, hey, tight things aren't actually keeping you cool) and instead wore long dresses, I finally saw a lot of a different kind of beauty out there in the park on a sunny Saturday. Huh, these women look feminine, and beautiful, and graceful, and I don't even know what their butt looks like! Huh. Women can be more than their bodies. I just wished a lot more of them would realise this.
It’s been sundress season fellas, may the Lord be with us all.
You should be able to look at a woman and not have to run away with your eyes closed. Just saying, the idea that women should have to dress modestly so that men won’t be tempted is the exact reason why women have to wear hijabs in Muslim culture
@@mikemccool7575 it's not a woman's responsibility to stop a man from lusting, but as a woman I would never dress immodestly because it's disrespectful to the men who are trying to follow God's commandments.
The freedoms we have as Americans or in the west in general don't exactly apply to us as Christians. We have a responsibility to each other as brothers and sisters in Christ to not cause each other to stumble.
This goes both ways, too. It's hard for me to see men without their shirts on sometimes. Men aren't the only ones who experience lust.
THANK YOU MY BROTHER THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR.GODS TIMING IS PERFECT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA. SHALOM ❤😊
This is so true !!, I used to “mess up “ (keeping it PG) everyday from 9th grade -11th grade . I then found a bit of freedom when I refocused my attention on God in solitude when I moved from my old place . I then met my current GF and that she became my accountability partner . Now instead of messing up everyday I would mess up only once every 2 months then 3 months . That changed how ever because as of recently I had the mind set of “oh I survived that last 3 months , I don’t have to be on guard as much and can do some of the old things I did before because I’m stronger “🤡. Boy was I wrong , God made it clear to me real quick that’s not how that works . We must ALWAYS be on guard . This month has been really rough on me because I let my guard down and I’m back to messing up everyday . However I know what I have to do to change and go back to living a free life , I just have to actually do it by changing every day actions I do . I’ve noticed the more I throw my self into doing ministry such as teaching Bible studies and going to prayer groups , the temptation are not as tempting . So now I’m pushing my self with the help of God to do as much for his Kingdom I possibly can and use this situation as my testimony. God bless anyone struggling with temptation of any type and I pray you found the strength and faith to push forward in Jesus name .
were not supposed to have sex before marriage though ,, marry your gf.
Never have had sex and waiting till marriage
Waiting till marriage for sex
sorry just curious. how are you weak to porn but having a flesh and blood woman with you with real tits and ass and vagina is not a temptation that over powers you? Wouldn't that be much more of a burden on you to not feel the need to have sex with her? And from what i have read you are still not with her before marriage in another comment you left. So HOW in the hell do you get through that aspect. I am curious how that works. For me porn is because of the absence of other outlets. Not because its an obsession over real life. Did your porn usage skyrocket BECAUSE you are not exploring sexuality with your girlfriend and it's how you released that energy or is the obsession completely separate from her entirely. It's got to be connected somehow. otherwise i don't get how the real thing is easier to pass up versus random people you have never met and have no connection too for a few minutes.
For me personally i just use it because i don't have other outlets to release that. Porn would be very easy for me to never open again had I been with someone yet.
I'm not christian, but this is so helpful, I feel ashamed to tell that I struggle with it, but this video really helped me to try to stop, I am one week in of trying to stop, I dont care how long it takes, I hope I stop at one point
Give Him a go. You cant' do it by yourself. Let Him help you.

Hey Man. The Bible says that Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous that he might bring us to God( 1 Peter 3:18). We all have sinned against God and deserve eternal death, but he is rich in mercy and Jesus died on the cross for sins that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life(John 3:16-18). For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ Our Lord(Romans 6:23). Repent and believe the gospel and God will give you a new heart( Mark 1:15).Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. The old has passed away, behold the new has come(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Can’t even remember when this ended for me. That feels incredible. It was definitely still active in my life in 2022, but I stopped counting the days so long ago and it’s probably coming up on 1 full year any time now. God is faithful. I never got on tiktok, ditched Instagram, stopped watching p after feeling convicted to the point of thinking my heart would literally stop if I kept going (the grace of God looks that way sometimes), I don’t watch movies or television if there is sex involved and I PRAY PRAY PRAY whenever I can feel it trying to attack me… prayer WORKS. The Holy Spirit works. Thanks be to God. He has given me this victory and I have never felt stronger, even when I feel weak. There is no giving in here.
I know a lot of y’all here may not want to hear it. But it’s true. I beat a handful of sins, including lust, that could have ruined my life by giving them to God in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession). It works, I never struggled again with them. It was such a grace of God to me. God bless, 🙂
Don't ever think you have defeated sin. Only Jesus did that. We all will struggle to overcome sin until the day we go home, including you. To say YOU beat sin is arrogant at best. And to deny that it's the work of the Holy Spirit in our life to overcome sin is bordering on blasphamy.

Unfollowing people on socials was a huge thing for Christ bringing freedom in my life. You aren't missing out from anything when you unfollow. truly.
I almost ruined my relationship with my fiance over lust imagine losing everything for 5 mins of fun
Sin is destructive, but it can be overcome
I’ve been a hyper-sexual person for as long as i can remember.. I was sexually molested by an older woman in a pool when I was 10/11, and I can remember from there on out, being extremely sexually charged. I’ve turned so many people against me through the years because I’ve just said way too much open to stuff in messages, texts, etc that you just don’t think about when you’re in that “moment” of masturbation. The consequences and regret doesn’t hit you until after and it hits you like a wave, and it becomes a repetitive cycle that’s so insanely hard to break. I still to this day struggle with it more than anything in my life.
Sexual addiction is real and it needs to be more socially talked about, so it’s something that can be worked on and somehow fixed for those who deal with it.
The same thing happened to me. It was by three separate people, including a family member, and it lasted a long time.
I wish more Christians would realize that sexual sin tied into a history of child sexual abuse makes it that much harder to free yourself from it. People who were never molested but have lust issues, don't have the experience of reliving the trauma like we do. It's harder for them to empathize, when they don't have that dynamic. Most Christians who become free faster from porn or lust never had those experiences. It will take us longer than most of those individuals, but we won't lose hope, because God will heal us either beginning in this life or the next.
At the end of the day, while we also must flee from immorality, we also have to look to God and spiritual counseling for healing.
I really loved how you said to block everything that even remotely tempts you. I see it as an hourglass, if you don’t block it off completely, sand is gonna pile up and you’re eventually gonna sin. Thanks for the video, man

Whenever I truly do a deep dive into my soul and analyze what sins Im falling to the most; Sin of the flesh: lust seems to be the key factor. I pride myself on not lying, Cheating, Stealing , Being unfair or treating people bad.
I try to live a morally righteous life but time and time again lust comes in. I can be scrolling through reddit, twitter, instagram and constant beautiful woman, sexual types of images or even thought provoking images are there. I go to the gym, the store and everywhere else and constant women around me, purely beautiful and the lust i feel is like a bottomless pit waiting to be filled with a never ending attempt.
I try to snap out of it and adjust my thoughts immediately but wow its immensely hard. Ive started to try to ignore women, avoid any type of illicit content, conversations and even thoughts. This journey is a lifetime struggle and I hope to strengthen my soul regardless of how many times I fail.
Great quote from a saint is “ Lord give me the will to want to change” And it dives into the sinners awareness that they themselves have no exact desire to even want to stop these harmful ways and perfect their soul; instead they pray and wish for the ability to have that craving to want that will so they can finally change theirs way.
Wherever you dwell, try to not check women out(except if you are trying to date or befriend one). If you happen to glance at a woman accidentally, have apathy inside your spirit and see beyond looks because looks will fade. Unfollow all people that tempt you, even friends. They will not find this weird at all if they are true friends.
If you don't like to stay alone or if you burn with passion you should marry if you are ready to. If yes then you can start dating people that are God loving or people that are willing to change( I suggest marrying them only when they have truly changed). Master chastity for when it's important. At one point your wife might become pregnant what will you do then? You will have to remain chaste for 9 months until her labors are over and the infant/s is/are born. How will you act when she's on her period and you feel the pressure of lust leading you towards uncleanness?
At last I suggest you pray in the morning and at night some time before you sleep . Pray however you want depending on your needs and it shall be given to you(Christ's words)... Always show respect to God in the way you pray and act in each and every situation. Always keep memory of him, love him truly above all things so you don't love him less. (Reading his word and praying will help). I suggest praying the prayers of the saints.
I acknowledge that I don't know you and yet I care for you. that's why I give you advice. May God bless you!
So glad this channel exists. Thank you, and God bless!
Pray when you feel tempted and flee from sin before is consumed. Stay in prayer EVERYDAY it will give you clarity during the day, my bothers and sisters.
Isaac, how many times you go to chuch a week?
I've been struggling with lust for a while, and I need to get rid of the things that keep me bound, yet I need to let go of those things. It's like the parable with Lot and his wife: They were told to not turn around, yet Lot's wife turned around and turned into dust.

Lust is destroying me so bad rn i ask for prayer to help me become free from this.
Great video. Please guys, listen to this. Lust is like a raging, consuming fire. Ecspecially you young dudes! I'm thirteen, and I don't really struggle with lust as much as others, and that's probably because I protect myself against it. Don't get cocky; take the steps, however extreme you must go (just don't kill yourself) to fight against this.
