Lmao 4:20 cracked 🤣 God Bless you bro I actually got a lot out of this and I believe God has taken my sexual sin away because not only do I not crave it as much or commit that sexual sin
as a kid who’s almost 48 days free from caving into sexual obesity, this video of yours really hit me! all glory to God for saving me from that path. love you dude :)
Any teen or adult virgins know you aren't alone. Me and tons of other believers are waiting just like you. KEEP GOING STRONG!!! Even if you've had sex in your past you can still stop it. It's never to late to change.
I saw this video right before I was about to cave to sexual sin, it stopped me dead in my tracks and reminded me about the heaviness of this particular sin. I’ve gotten better but I’m still struggling with sexual sin and this video has provided me with the means on how to go about fighting it with Jesus, thank you so much!! I love your videos :)
whatever you feel weak so call on the Holy Spirit just like the verse say 2 Corinthians 12:9 ► But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Same I've stopped getting involved with ppl but now it's the masturbation and junk food. I traded one vice for another. But now my new high is GOD, LIFE, & CLEAN FOOD. One day at a time and patience in oneself🙂 Each day it's getting easier consistency is real
This message came just at the right point at time at my exact circumstances, thank you amen church. It is like God just spoke to me through your words of biblical advice, I feel moved.
Dude that’s crazy, I was in the same boat. I was clean for about 4 months and was surrounded with supporting people, who went through it as well. I left and when I was alone, I just gave in and was extremely tempted. It was horrible. And it still is.
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. “ 1 Corinthians 10:31
You receive the Holy Spirit when you're saved. How does that happen? When you realise that you are a sinner therefore you are separated from the Holy God; when you know that you can't redem yourself or make yourself be just by your work; but if you repent from your sins and recognize that Jesus, who is perfect, died for you at the cross, resurrected and has the power to save you, then you are saved by Him by faith alone (Rom 10:9-13, Ef 2:8-9)
I’ve been fighting and cutting off things to resist sexual temptation and it goes well for 2-3 weeks then the temptations get worse. I try to make it my goal to read the word of god every night and aim to live a pure life. I’m trying to get stronger everyday
@@LaCréé.e God loves you no matter what you've done in the past. His love for you today is as real and tangible as it was when He died on the cross for you 💛
I've been struggling over this, really praying for wisdom on find other ways to replace my daily routine and getting rid of that "window time" when the enemy finds me vulnerable and also an accountability partner or internet accountability app. Thank you So much Alex, praise God for your life and your platform!
@Saliem Semere most of the triggers happen during idle time, lately i'm trying to find something productive to help me avert my attention, i also found an app the blocks websites, im gonna start to do some tracking for the sake of it, but the last thing that's been bugging me is just to have someone to know what im currently doing, im having a hard time to reach out to someone in my local church, but hoping that God impresses me someone in specific. edit : i forgot to say, thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement! I lived a really, really, really sexually immoral life for most of my life and never cared about any results-... that was until I found someone that truly loves me and wanted to be with me for the rest of his life. Going cold turkey from my sex addiction has been extremely, extremely hard since I have had it for about 16 or more years and I won't be officially married for who knows how long. The withdrawal issues i have been experiencing during has been really intense and has led to physical symptoms. But this relationship is entirely worth it, every bit of it and even helping with being a christian example for my S.O. I needed this encouragement to keep going strong because I have no room to make certain mistakes, I just can't hurt my loved one. I'll listen to this video again. Please keep going with your videos to help encourage others in their faith. It is the most important lifeline we could have.
That purging and not taking in the junk food kills the flesh. Been told fasting helps too. I've been celibate for 2 years and slip up 1 month ago. Giving into junk. Now I'm purging.
I really needed to see this video and I’m not even Christian just wanted to say thank you 🙏 I see this first thing in the morning when I’m going thru it with emotions on how to stop all of this thanks again
I found this video at the perfect time. Been fighting for a long time now, but today the fight's been particularly hard. Thank you so much for the encouragement, even 2 years in advance lol
I needed this video. Praise God for putting this on my page. I love your videos. Please pray for me. I'm struggling with sexual sin and its so tempting and I feel very guilty even though I am asking for forgiveness. I stopped for a few weeks but then gave in again recently. It's very shameful. I have always been a Christian and I slowly opened myself up to this sin. If you know something is bad news and not aligned with God's will even if it appears to be small, get AWAY. It will grow into a bigger problem/temptation. The enemy knows our flesh is weak. I wish I would have done that back then. Now I need to be on my way to recovery. Thank you again for your content. It makes a huge difference.
Locate your weak areas and sure them up. Patch up the entry ways the enemy uses to manipulate you to do what he wants and not God. Making the tough, hard decisions and sacrifices is the only way you win. The old man/woman inside must die daily!⚰️🥀💀 In ALL things pray!!!
Try figuring out what makes you more vulnerable to it for example being alone, or watching certain movies or shows. Eliminate those things from your life, and if you happen to fallback forgive yourself, be kind to yourself, repent, reflect on how you can improve, and work towards it.
Please pray for me. I am 14 years old and I recently went to a youth camp in Tennessee and I felt free from it and I haven’t watched it since but I’m feeling the urges and I can’t stop.
Deny yourself now as a young man... throw yourself at the Lord... reap the benefits as you mature into a man little brother! Pray daily, read your Bible daily, find devout... key word devout men in your church to disciple and keep you accountable! Jesus has already given you the victory, lay aside the besettung sin (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Please understand that what your going through is normal and healthy. If you're struggling with addiction, do yourself a favour and seek professional health from your doctor, counsellor or any other qualified practitioner who can properly help you.
Thank you for this post. I needed this at this moment and felt guilty after my moment giving into my flesh. I caved as you said. Watching a td Jake's video I and asked God and repented for help to better understand why I'm doing this. I was releasing stress after job search and found myself giving into it. It's hard.. But I'm trying to do better and appreciate your videos.
Romans 7:14-25 & 8 are my go to's at the moment. It helped me understand why I kept doing what I said I didn't want to do anymore. God loves and understands you.
Thank you for making this video! It is helping so many people break free from the bondage of sexual sin. Your analogy about Jesus being crucified because we cheated on him, made me think about this quote from the devotional I read this morning: “In maintaining your spiritual freedom, you must guard against those who would rob you of your liberties. Any struggle to defend will be well worth your efforts. Remember, it was so you could experience freedom that Christ lived and died to set you free.” Charles. F. Stanley from the “Freedom in Christ” devotional plan -He really went through death, hell and the grave to free us from sin 🙌🏾
May God bless you & keep on giving you wisdom to speak wisely, being used by Him to tell us what He wants us to hear & to learn. Lots of hugs from Angola 🇦🇴!!
I did too over over 1 1/2 years. God didnt give up on me. I have a couple of moments where his intervention was cristal clear. Im on a good way right now. One day at a time. Eyes on Jesus.
The work of God is behind the scenes we often question it and feel like he’s not there but he’s actually there he’s working . We must focus on the unseen
Sex like everything else is a tool. You can either be mindful about it and reap the benefits of it or abuse it and only receive the consequences of your behavior. Instead of feeling guilt shame or remorse speak to God... The Lord isn't interested in your regret. The Lord wants fulfill you in so many ways...uplift you...redirect you to a promising life filled with joy...and teach you how to manage the challenges victoriously. God Bless and be encouraged.
Thank you so much Alex for your wise words in all the videos you have been putting out it has been really helpful in my life right now with everything going on. Every teaching is so spot on. GOD has truly gave you a gift of speaking. Love you bro I’ll be praying for you and your family. Keep making the awesome videos 👍
Thank you brother for the encouragement God bless you, I really needed this! I've been struggling with repetitive sin (porn) for the past 3 1/2 years even after giving my life to Christ- and I've held onto it for so long because I thought that this could be a replacement until I'm in a relationship with a significant other as a way to relieve sexual tension, along with turning to it as a coping mechanism. Lately, I've felt it in my heart to really want better for myself, because I'm tired of feeling guilty, ashamed, dirty, condemned, and messed up after watching that stuff. I want better for myself and I know God can provide me with the satisfaction and relief that comes from him only-good side effects from walking in the spirit. If you can keep me in your prayers that God helps me to submit and leave it in his hands I'd appreciate it! Thank you once again!
About 3-2 years ago i started getting cravings to see this stuff i remember i went to go download a game that the kids in class kept talking about and i didn't get what i wanted out of that game and that night my cousins came over and i asked my one cousin in particular to search po*n on youtube and we watched this stuff after they left i felt so nauseous which is something that never liked feeling i hate that feeling and it was just that night and never again and God is so good that he used a feeling that i hate feeling to stop me from fallling into sin and at the beginning of this year i started going to church again and everytime i go to church it's a feeling that i don't wanna let go of
sorry for the typo at 4:20 :) love u
thanks. your amazing man

Don't worry, I forgive you!

The same deal for me. I have recently "eaten junk food" after 6 months of being clean.
@@blt3565 was clean for 6 months then suddenly started again when I was Isolated by myself.
Dude that’s crazy, I was in the same boat. I was clean for about 4 months and was surrounded with supporting people, who went through it as well. I left and when I was alone, I just gave in and was extremely tempted. It was horrible. And it still is.
God works in wondrous ways
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. “ 1 Corinthians 10:31
I didn’t know that the Holy Spirit is inside of us. But I feel safer now
You receive the Holy Spirit when you're saved. How does that happen?

Hope that helped. Also some verses about receiving the Holy Spirit: 1 cor 12:13, rom8:9 and Ef1:13-14.

Happy to say it’s been 2 months since I last watched porn. Incredible how easy it was to quit after trusting god. Thanks for the content. Love you
Haven’t even been tempted.
Amen 🙏
I really appreciated the comparison of taking communion with a husband and wife joining together physically. Great intimate analogy!
