My testimony: After being an atheist for 8+ years, and "married" to another female, I got the urge one day to say out loud "IF there is an Almighty God that does NOT wish us pain or sorrow, please bring me truth, I wish to know you exist". Then God immediately started bringing me the answers I had been searching 8-11 YEARS for! I witnessed Him take control of my internet and the rest of my reality; He first proved to me that demons exist (I called them "inter-dimensional beings"), then He proved His own existence, which I later found to be Jesus Christ. As soon as I found Jesus at the end of 2020, He IMMEDIATELY took away my transgenderism, bisexuality, depression, daily suicide attempts, self harm, bulimia and anorexia; and He did this all without me asking Him to, because THAT'S how merciful and loving He is! Praise God!

Praying for all guys who struggle with porn. I fell back into it man I hate it… please pray for me

[matsumuratrp]

When I was struggling with addiction to porn and struggling with lust, a spiritually mature friend of mine whom I confided in gave me this advice: Don't try to force yourself to not lust or watch porn, but think of how you're hurting God by effectively cheating on him by doing those things... That really convicted me and was the point from where I finally started to kill my porn addiction and lust issues.
Your desire to love God and not sin against him should be what motivates you to turn from sexual sins, not brute force or willpower.

My story: I'm 17. Was born again at 14 after years of terrible home life, and also experiencing sexual trauma before I was even 5. Started out very passionate for the Lord, but I have and still do struggle with lust and porn use to this day. I literally just fell into temptation a couple hours ago. I have accountability and filters, but I'm working on the root of the issue: my heart. Pray for me and my continued journey please. Even with things like filters and accountability apps, it's difficult. I do what I hate and don't do what I wanna do (as Paul says). Thanks for your content Issac, it's a blessing!

This lust sin destroys women too! I continually fight to change my mind in Christ to turn away from sin. I hate that I can’t say that I never ever have struggled or fell in this area again! But one thing I can truly say and once I stared
To run to Jesus and ask him for his help, he never FAILS! I’ve failed but He never has! Always be quick to repent and ask the Lord to give you the grace to overcome this! It’s an upward battle but I promise WE have the victory in Jesus!😊

[AndreNitroX]

Lust is such a powerful feeling in me. I don’t watch pornography every day, it is only during times of stress or loneliness, but when I give into one video, I go on a binge. And afterward I feel disgusted with myself and pray for forgiveness from The Lord, with the hope that I can begin a new, but after a week or a month I eventually fall into the same sin.

I saw a video that explains that we are told to flee from sexual temptations rather than resist. I thought about it for a while to see not the root of the problem but the root of what is missing. Why do I keep falling? I found this to be difficult but what I think it's what I lack in the moments I am tempted. In those moments I know I lack the courage to tell my flesh no. Now I have written this down on a board in my room: "Find & take courage to tell yourself no."
This isn't to say that is what everyone else lacks or the root of the problem is. I can tell you now the the ground we need before we can overcome is a relationship with Christ. Find the humility to allow yourself to first come to him if you are struggling and accept that you are. He doesn't want you to come to him perfect. He just wants to know you and help you grow closer and closer to Him. It is possible but it takes more than a trick of the mind to completely overcome it.

Lust lurks behind your thoughts and it’s tiny at first and it keeps knocking and instead of killing it and lock the door, we tend to just say, naaaa it’s nothing we leave the door open just a little and that little lust that lurked outside the door and was knocking slips in and starts to work in you and now that it’s in the house of your thoughts and you start to feed it little by little and as it grows it becomes stronger and controls your thought process now that your guard is down and seems harmless to a point where you obey the lust and become under the authority of that lust.

It’s so heartbreaking to me how many men struggle with porn addiction, and how much it’s shoved in their face

[PASS]

“Hold every thought captive” is all I repeat to myself. It works so well! Great message man!

I've struggled with lust, porn, and possibly transgenderism since I was 10 years old. It all started with me feeling like there was something wrong with me. In school, the girls were treated way better than the boys in my eyes. My parents also wanted a girl, but I came along instead. I started crossdressing in my mom's clothes and wearing her makeup, and I found that I had liked it. After a long while of doing that, I started feeling very confused. I was wanting to be a girl, but I also liked girls and not boys. A few google searches later, that was how I was introduced to lesbian Pornography at 10 years old. For years I was addicted to Pornography, crossdressing, wishing was born a female, and feeling so alone. Then one day in high school, I found a girl who was interested in me. I couldn't believe someone actually liked me, so we ended up getting together and dated for almost 2 years. During that time, I didn't have any thoughts of wanting to be a female, and I didn't have the desire to watch porn. But I fell into a new trap. She was obsessed with wanted s*x, but I wanted to wait until marriage. Eventually, I gave in because I didn't want to lose her. About a year or so later, we started going to church and felt super convicted, so I asked her if we could stop and wait until marriage. She reluctantly agreed, andthene refused to have anything to do with me for the next three months before breaking up with me the day after Christmas. I was completely devastated and heartbroken. I went back to my old ways of porn, crossdressing, and fantasizing about being a female. To this day I still struggle with them, but I also have a deep desire to be a husband and a father. Now it feels like a constant war in my head, but I feel so much shame in talking about it because I know this is a very fierce subject. I'm not entirely sure why I'm writing all of this here but maybe whoever reads this will pray for me. I want to be free and live for God. I want to stop being confused and be sure of my identity in Christ. I want these chains and burdens to finally leave me.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Big things start from small, so don’t underestimate even the smallest lust, just squash it before it has a chance to grow.

Testimony: Nothing ever worked for me until I began to practice set aside and focused prayer on a daily basis. The mental and physical lust attacks eventually just...disappeared. Wow! That's really saying something since i come from a background of abuse in that area...I was always haunted by that childhood trauma that led to much deviance and darkness. I am free! ... That said, if I DO slip (rarer and rarer all the time now, praise God), I noticed its because my prayer consistency slipped first. That's when I repent and dial the daily focused prayer back up again.

"Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." 🔥

Blessings. You can do this.

[RoccoRubino]

If you love me, keep My commandments.

Yes, let's pray for greater love first, and obedience HAS TO automatically follow.😊

Definitely needed a video like this brother. Thank you for this! Living for God starts with growing your love for Him!

My testimony as a warning to all of you men: I'm 17. As everyone can relate, when I hit that age, I started looking at girls differently. I struggled with lust in the same ways as everyone else all the way until October 2nd this year. That was the day I decided I wouldn't view another video, or sinfully release. I proceeded to go 88 days without doing it, and I felt benefits build, spiritual confidence, clearer skin, and other benefits, etc. I felt like a king. Although, lust will patiently wait until you are vulnerable. I was able to control my urges and discipline myself for three months, but two days ago, I relapsed. It was in the middle of the night, I endured hours of lustful thoughts, and i knew they were the demons that usually tried to tempt me. But the urges grew strong and I was being more and more tempted, until at 5am I fell to it. These past few days have been a wave of lust day in and out, and I know that the demons are trying to rebuild the stronghold i broke down in the three months of retention. I need your prayers, I want to get back up, and continue in my retention journey, to save it for marriage. The point of this testimony is to warn you all, when you eventually get to the point where you have dominion over your urges and discipline yourself, you are NOT INVINCIBLE. The demons waited until 5am and tempted me through the night, patiently. Be sure to pray for protection from God, ask for wisdom, discernment, and strength. Pray for me and know I pray for you as well! God bless

Hi there, I hope that you guys are all well... I wanted to share something that is sort of a testimony from sexual lust, in hope that it may help whoever may be struggling with this in their lives.

What is sexual lust?

As most know, lust is an intense, overwhelming desire or craving.

How do I know when I’m lusting?/How do I identify signs of lust?

Signs of lust can come in the form of:

Looking at a person longer than you need to.
It is not wrong to admire one’s beauty, because we are all made in the image of God, however, looking longer than you need to (even if you are not having any lustful thoughts) can lead your gaze into a sinful territory.

2. Satisfying the desire to carry on looking.

This falls under the previous point and this was something that I used to struggle with a lot, and never really understood until just recently.

When I was still in this perpetual sin, I would constantly look at a woman’s behind or cleavage and speak to God in my mind saying, “Look LORD, I am not lusting at all! There are no lustful or sinful thoughts that I am thinking of while looking at this lady, so I’m good!”, but the funny thing is that I would always have a thought in the back of my mind saying, “Oh really… then why are you struggling to look away!?”

God has a very funny sense of humour! Little did I know that that voice in the back of my head was the Holy Spirit speaking to me, telling me that I’m in sin and actually lusting!

3. Thinking of the person you were tempted to and dwelling on those thoughts.

This point means to relive or rethink of the person you saw or were tempted to and therefore lusting through your thoughts (Just as Jesus taught)

How to prevent it and decrease the temptation

To my knowledge of biblical scripture, there is no cure for lust. Lust, just like lying, swearing and cussing is something we will have to tame and control (through the LORD’s help via the Holy Spirit).

So how can I avoid or prevent it?

One can do so by:

Bouncing your eyes.
When searching for tips in avoiding sexual lust, at least one of you must have heard of this term before. This term simply means to look away from whatever you are being tempted to. When bouncing your eyes you can:

Look at your phone or swipe on your phone till the person/thing that you are tempted to in your field of view is gone
Looking at or “fixing” a watch
Looking at the items of the shop you are walking past
etc… Essentially bouncing your eyes means to look (as well as resist the urge to look) at what you are being tempted to.
Strengthen your mental toughness to resist the urge to look.
Glory to God, because this can be trained (yes, trained!) to an extent that you will be wondering where is the urge to lust!

When online (whether using a phone, tablet, iPad, or laptop), I’m sure you guys have seen those annoying ads next to the articles you were trying to read. So next time those ads pop up, try resisting the urge to look at them, until you have finished reading the article or until the ad disappears. By doing this, you will be building a tolerance level to that urge to look, which will help in avoiding lust!

I have been doing this for some time, and the urge to look lustfully or to look at something inappropriate has dramatically disappeared!

Protecting your eyes, mind, and heart.
This is along with the other points is very important. We (as followers of God) should be protecting our eyes, hearts, and minds from sinful things. Since we are talking about lust, the things to avoid would be pornography (because it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to resist lust while still engaging in pornography and masturbation); erotic books and novels, music videos, TV Shows, pictures, and movies with nudity and half-naked women or men, etc…

And lastly, dwelling in the Word of God (reading the Bible and/or dwelling on His’ word through biblical articles, videos of sermons and preachings, music that aligns with the word of God, etc…)
Ending the post

I hope you were all blessed by this teaching, and I hope you use it (through the help and guidance of God) to put an end to perpetual lust and sin.

God bless you all in Jesus’ name!

My testimony: My life has been tainted by pornography since I was 4 years old, this spiraled to so many other depraved things I’d do and watch…

But I met a woman who helped me to fight it better, and to get close to God. She is truly sent by him, and now I am closer to God more than ever. Hearing his voice, seeing him and the peace I’ve had is unlike anything we can imagine.

I am not free, but he spoke to me and said ”You will be healed, it is only a matter of time”. Trust God, have patience and learn to grow in love for him and him alone. Seek his kingdom first and the rest will come, he wants your heart first and the rest will be given.

Hallelujah!

Side note: for me, it helps to sing for the lord, praise & gospel songs. It’s lovely as well, the peace one gets is unimaginable!

Thx for the video my friend, God showed me this as I was about to fall again, am on a little streak (:

God bless!

[almond_b]

[roudythediscipleofjesus]

Thank you brother for reminding of something God always is telling me yet i always run away instead of focusing on him i focus on defeating the sin by myself
