Pornography harms your soul with Jesus you can overcome
With God's help it is possible to be totally free from pornography.
You long to make a determination with "the Goliath" in your life. Isn't it?
When one is tied to pornography it is only this – a seemingly incessant giant blocking the way. This filthy barrier of impurity makes you lose yourself away from the path that a Christian must go. But your calling in life is not always to remain stagnant in this evil cycle of temptation, defeat and guilt. It is absolutely possible to resist these impure temptations and to live a pure Christian life and victory.
God created marriage in a framework in which man and woman can live together with their blessing, expressing their love to each other in a relationship of care and harmony. Giving in to sexual desires in one form or another, including pornography, is infidelity and sin. This is an atrocious sin, and we have to see it as God sees it:
with extreme earnestness!
Pornography Damages Your Soul
The consequences of giving in to this "hidden" infidelity are far-reaching and do more than just influence you. Don't think anyone else gets hurt, just because you do it in secret. Not only do you receive scars in your own soul from the images that are recorded in your memory, but you also seriously damage your ability to be faithful to a spouse. There are many people who are never physically unfaithful towards their partner, but giving in to infidelity in the occult is just as destructive. The effects of infidelity can be seen everywhere around us in today's world: dissolving homes, pain, bitterness, and psychological upheavals.
Through filth like pornography, Satan takes full control of a person.
The Devil's goal is to steal, kill and destroy. One of the most damaging ways he succeed is by making people give in to their sexual desires outside of the intimacy of marriage. Through filth like pornography, Satan takes full control of a person. The results are catastrophic.
Satan has however the ability to hide the consequences and make appeal to your senses in such a way that you quickly lose sight of the general picture. Then, while you are there deceived and confused, you will ingeniously want to paint the image of something, or someone, and whisper that you have no choice but to participate in their dirty game. After you have fallen into the trap, you stay there and feel dirty, defeated and ashamed, every time.
How much do you want to be free?
The question is, how much do you want to be free? is being a slave to your impure greed is only a drawback or have you really reached the point that is enough? The key is to receive a furious, furious, angry hatred against this sin. You can pray for open eyes and be able to see the destructive nature of pornography and receive a perfect hatred against sin. How can you fight something you don't really hate? How can you completely destroy something that is little more than a "drawback"?
Prayer at the time of need
In Hebrews 4, 16 it is written: "Closer, then, trustingly to the throne of Grace, to reach mercy and find grace for timely relief." In other words you must pray. You're tired of sin, you hate it, you try to break your habit of looking at pornography, but you feel out of strength. When you cry out to God at the right time — in the moment of need, when you are tempted — an incredible power is unleashed within you, the power in the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit does not make temptations disappear magically. But the next thing you're tempted to see is pornography, there's an opposition inside you all of a sudden. This is the spirit, and he is in conflict with what draws your flesh — the filth you now hate so intensely. As soon as this thought comes to your head, you must cry out, I will not give in to this! Jesus, help me to overcome! " If your yearning is sincere, then Jesus is more than willing to come to your aid.
The Joy of Victory!
Imagine: If you continue to say "no" every time sin rises with all its abomination, you starve to death by not feeding desires. The day will come when your infidels greeds stop torturing you. What was once a giant of impurity will be dead. You'll be done with sin.
What was once a giant of impurity will be dead. You'll be done with sin.
When you begin to overcome these temptations to see pornography, a New world opens! You are really happy – you suddenly experience the joy of victory!
Fight for Purity! Fight to be one that God can use to carry out his will on Earth, and never give up! As a victorious Christian you will never miss the cheap and temporary pleasures you had to leave. I don't miss them at all.
"Blessed is the man who endures temptation; For when he has resisted the proof, he will receive the Crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. " Santiago,12
