Dear people, I came across this site, looking for a solution to dealing with pornography.
I have been saved (on and off due to pornography) since I was 14, and now I am 19. But I have walked very closely with the Lord in the past (so much so I could see in the spiritual realm). But the sin that always drags me down is this unclean spirit pornography. I would go a long time with God, then one day I would be tempted so much I would just give in and think it will be okay, but after, I would get very down and depressed and the rest of the junk that comes with it. Argghhh! It’s so frustrating!
I want to be so clean and transparent so God can just work through me (as He used to do).
Please, pray for me, and email if you want to help me a further way – a.tasker at hotmail dot co dot uk
God bless,
Adam
Hello Adam,
Keep waiting on the Lord. I am also waiting on him to heal me completely. He has healed me to some extent (like took away the desire) in me because I used to be addicted to the internet and food severely. In the meantime, I keep saying his grace is sufficient. Anyways, can you explain how you walked so closely to the Lord? By reading the bible, praying or?
This song might encourage you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hEiGEfm2uE
‘I don’t mind waiting on the Lord.’ ‘When he has tried me, I shall COME OUT!’
Adam,
I just wanted to address some of the things you said.
1) you said you have been saved on and off. –I want to encourage you; you are always saved. Even in our sin. Think of the story of the prodical son, his father celebrated when he came home…and he waited for him to come.
2)The depression and guilt you feel afterward is the enemy. The conviction you feel right before you do something you know you shouldn’t, is the Holy Spirit guiding you–nudging you to do right. And the condemnation you feel–which most likely separates you, or makes you feel separated from God, is the enemy. The Enemy condemns, God convicts (Therefore, there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus).
So, now that you know God still loves you when you sin, and is in fact, waiting for you, believe that he accepts you back into his arms always. The thing is, God knows we are sinners. It’s why there is no action (right or wrong) that can separate us from the love of God. It is out of our love for Him that we obey him. Only out of a desire to please him can you ever stand against the enemy. Don’t be so hard on yourself. God has already healed you. you just have you accept it! I declare it in the name of Jesus. Work on accepting His perfect love…and with that love, comes forgiveness. If you mess up, repent from you heart and move on. God loves you dearly, he knows your struggle and he’s turning all of it into your testimony so that you may encourage others.
God Bless you!
One of the things that helps me in my walk with God is to try to figure out exactly what I’m feeling when I don’t feel right with God. Sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s disappointment. Then I take that word and look it up in the back of my bible, I pray and read all of the scriptures listed under that word. Then I just accept what God’s word says above all. Above how I feel, what I hear in my head, and what I see. This is practicing faith.
Jesus already paid for all your past,present and future sins so do not think that you are no longer saved if you commit a sin again him, praise the Lord that you realize and do care about Lord’s feelings when you sin against your heavenly father and all you have to do is surrender yourself to the lord, mention him your weakness and ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, most importantly forgive others so that you will be forgiven for your sins, do ask for forgiveness to christ.
Bible says…
You might have fallen but YOU WILL RISE AGAIN FOR GOD IS WITH YOU,amen and amen
Jesus bless you so much 🙂
I was once like you in the past but now I am totally free from it. How to stay away I not really sure about it but know this, if you love God with all your heart, soul and mind, you will stop doing it. But that’s not enough, cause we are living in a world where we are easily influence therefore we need people to support. I am sure you have (christian) friends. Try as much as possible going out with them, inviting them to play sports. Then whenever you are tempted, think of what God will do if you carry on. I hope this helps you. Try as much to stay away.
That’s not my real name
Thanks Sabrina for those encouraging words 🙂 Funny thing is, I think God put it in my heart that I should search for bible verses for whatever I feel. So I was thinking of searching online. But this doesn’t really happen coz I’m not always in front of a computer when I feel something. It never occurred to me that there is a list at the back of the bible 🙂 Thank you and God bless you.
Hello, I am 28 and I was addicted to porn as well. I grew up looking at my fathers collection. I know for a fact that God hates impurity in the heart. I was not happy with what I was doing and I thought I could never erase those pics of my mind. I prayed and called out to Jesus to help me and save me..I asked him to erase my evil thoughts…..I can now say that the Lord heard my prayer and I am free from porn. I despise anything that is about sex. I am free…thanks be to the savior Jesus Christ. Keep praying and have faith in him.

Hi Adam
As someone said, once saved always saved. But, that does not mean you will not sin again and quite a few people have to struggle with addictions before being able to completely overcome it.
If you fall back, dont get upset or depressed. Instead get down on your knees and ask for forgiveness. I know it feels sort of filthy, but once you repent you will feel better. Ask Jesus to deliver you completely from the addiction and take control of your thoughts and actions.
With time, every time you are tempted the warnings will get severe (believe me) and it is only a matter of time that you will be completely free of your addictions
It is my experience and I can say that God will definitely help you through. He never forsakes us (even if we do).

Hi,
I read what you wrote. I can understand … Its seem that there are many Believers are trying to overcome from this “lust of the flesh”.
I personally went through it. I thought I have overcome it and then I repeat the act again. This went on for years.
I want to encourage you that our loving DADDY GOD is merciful and full of loving kindness. Do not fall into the trap of self condemnation and of guilt.
GOD ia merciful. Ask HIM for help. Even if you have already did so a thousand times. The devil may tempt you to feel embarrassed and swallowed in self pity.
HIS WORD says in Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Even if you commit the same sin a million times, come before HIM again to receive HIS mercy & grace.
1. I suggest that you have a close Christian friend to pray together regularly.
2. Avoid viewing and reading materials which might tempt you. That’s include magazines, websites, movies and etc.
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Can you help pray? I couldn’t really resist temptation even though sometimes someone in my mind rebukes me, yet my flesh is so powerful against me. I know the Holy Spirit is more powerful than flesh. What do you think why I could still be dragged my flesh?
hello Adam,
Is only Jesus that sets free from any bondage one finds himself or herself in. One can be in a bondage either by oneself or people can put one in it.
so, i was once a victim, even my husband didnt like it when u said u are watching it.
Anytime your heart long for it or watching it, just start singing choruses, u can even get christian novels and read them instead. But the best way is singing joyful praises song. I see the LORD setting you free through the help of HOly Spirit. JESUS LOves U.
4eva in HIS vineyard,

You will need to be delivered from spirits of lust, perversion, and fornication among others. Find a good deliverance ministry.
Dear Adam,
Thank God for He has given you a good heart.
If you have a desire to live a righteous life, God is much pleased with you. HE WILL HELP YOU. As the Word of God says, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and purify our unrighteousness, if we confess. Sins are the outcome of the desires (or bondages) of our heart. Please try to get a book “THE BONDAGE BREAKER” by Neil Anderson. He speaks of the healing of our mind, through the living word of God. He deals with it step by step. VERY USEFUL. Please get it read. Nothing to feel shame about it. God has forgiven and forgotten them. Who are we to remember and feel guilty about it? right? Forgive yourself. Believe in His love.
We are always the conquerors in Jesus Christ. Say no to temptation. Praying for you. God bless you.
