      I love how the TPT of Luke 22:46 puts it, "You need to be alert and pray for the strength to endure the great temptation." It is not an if or maybe, the temptation will come, we need to expect it and be alert and ready to deal with it not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit!

      @@asamorecraft5554 the moment your eyes or your thoughts start to entertain the thought of sinning, immediately remove yourself from the situation. Look away, close the website, keep your mind focused on being holy like He is. When we recognize that these lustful thoughts are a straight up attack from the Devil we can refer to the promises that God has given us, one being that no temptation has over taken us that we cannot get passed. God bless my friend, you got this.

I'm telling whoever needs this. Keep going. Keep fighting. Pray pray pray. Begin your day with inviting the Holy Spirit into your mind and heart, REPEATEDLY. You can do this. LOCK DOWN YOUR PHONE!!! Then give God 90 days. It's not as long as you think. See who He can make you into. Thank you Pastor Craig and Life Church for this sermon and this video. Most of all, THANK YOU LORD!!!

      That's an awesome testimony brother. That is very strong because.... one day you told a person inside your body goodbye. And for some or most of us this person inside us brought us on many different exiting secret places where they really wanted to be that moment. Almost the same as..... to stop visiting your loving parents or friends for a good time together. I'm still trying to run away from it. But it captures my mind away too that moment. I know i need to say ''NO'' i'm not yours anymore !! But its still different. One thing i know is..... i'm aware Jesus is helping me. Ok It takes time after 54 years being a slave of this world. The best ting to know is the truth. And everything God is telling me.... is Jesus inside me. And when God talks to me.... i can notice Jesus is doing His works inside me. Halleluja Jesus lives 🙏

    The portion of the pastor going over the phases to expect when getting sober is so accurate and I’ve never heard anyone say that before. I’ve only gotten to like week 4.

I’m a catholic and I don’t wanna go through life looking at certain stuff and having sexual and lust thoughts. I feel very guilty, dirty, guilty, shameful, and remorseful. I’ve been addicted since December. I’m ready to STOP. I wanna learn about intimacy THE RIGHT WAY. I wanna be purified and wanna live life the right way. I’m still fighting this addiction but I’m ready to quit.

    I've dealt with this from age 13.
    Not only was I touched inappropriately EARLY on, but at this age I was in a place where I felt so alone, and it helped me cope through a very DIFFICULT phase of my life. As a child, the rush was addictive, and I planned evenings and nights around this.
    At 32, I still wrestle and struggle with this, and I am so ashamed. I want it to be GONE.
    I understand that the enemy threw a yoke on a little girl who didn't even understand salvation. And I hate him for it. But the hate for him and it never helped me rid of the sin.
    As a minister of the gospel who loves God with no end, I'm hurt that I can't shake this, and extremely humbled that my proclivities don't limit His ability to get the glory from my life.
    Lord, heal us all who struggle with this. Heal us in the places that turned our eyes to this, and turns our hands to sin. We love you and we repent.
    I'm in tears now, wondering if this is a possible reason I'm not married, and wondering (more importantly) if I'll ever be free. I don't want this to be the thorn in my flesh!

      1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
      No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

    I can still remember watching this message of hope, when it was aired three years ago. I was sitting beside my wife that Sunday morning and when the title came up, I realized "this is the day I'll tell her" and she realized "this has been our problem all these years." Our lives have never been the same! I have been free since that morning and God has led me to learn how to live in the freedom that Christ purchased for each one of us. That day I found hope - I too could be free! No longer was living in sexual integrity a wish.
    We went through a lot of difficult times as I continued to walk in the light and in obedience and in honor. But God is faithful and he has healed us both in so many ways. My wife was devastated, to say the least, but she too turned to Jesus' love and he has healed her in so many ways as well.
    Our family (kids and grandkids) have all been blessed as a result of this obedience to God. Our marriage is so much better now and we continue to grow in Christ and with each other.
    Thank you Craig Groeschel and Life Church for the great service you do for the entire body of Christ! And thank you for continuing to confront this issue.

May you set you free permanently from this sin. May God protect you from all evil temptations in Jesus's name we pray Amen!
      You are very brave and strong for sharing and you even went for 100 days free from this sin. Even if you stumbled, don't give up, just get back up and start all over.We know that the devil will not keep you under his chains forever. Keep praying and keep close to God. He will hear you and will help you.
      "Therefore put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will be standing firm." Ephesians 6:13 NLT

    I've been struggling with porn for almost 6 years now and I'm ready to stop now. It has destructed my life and with the power of God, I will overcome it ❤

    You have motivated me immensely to stop watching porn. Already after the first week I start to feel a surge of energy and happiness. You know, sometimes I have brainstorms, but I try to occupy my brain with sports, reading books, spending time with family and friends. I will continue this positive attitude because I am so much better at it now. And I will tell you that my own psychologist, sexologist did not motivate me as you did. Thank you very much 💙💪

    this vid changed my life. I’ve been battling this addiction for 4-5 years and my sister bought me a cross chain. One day I was walking and it broke. After that happened all temptation left my mind. Jesus broke the chains of slavery for me. Praise our savior Jesus 🙏✝️

    As a 23 year old, I fight this constantly and sometime I am stronger and many times it gets the best of me. But today I’m confessing it so that it no longer stay in the dark. I want freedom of this so that I miss none of the blessing the lord has for me. Thank you pastor Craig for this message.

    Thank you for your message, it’s been something I have been struggling with for years. I sometimes turn away from the underlying issue of not feeling loved by men, but mostly my father. It times of frustration I even found myself tempted and made some bad choices. Dear God help me and everyone to be resilient during this healing process. Amen.
