struggling
For around 5 years now I've been addicted to pornography... it started when my friend and i were skipping rocks at a local creek. The creek isn't to gorgeous it has a bit of trash and that day we found two covers of porn movies filled with nude pics. our first reaction to the covers was one of disgust and we left them and went home, later that day i went back down alone and took the covers.i And that was when it started. since then I've ventured into almost everything on the web and have become addicted. I know its wrong, i mean I've grown up in a strong christian family, with a good church too. yet i just fall victim to temptation. There have been pockets of good times when I've been strong and resisted. but just recently its all gone down hill. Masturbation has a stronghold on my life as well. Masturbation is something I've experimented with since before the porn incident. and has definitely not helped. I can hardly go to sleep at night without feeling compelled to do it. And now my girlfriend and i have started to experiment as well and we had the talk about barriers but i guess that didn't help we just fell to temptation and now its gone as far as im going to let it. Prayers would be wonderful. Thank you to X3 for having this. It feels to good to get this off my chest.
you have halt. Halt as much as when you are driving a car and a deer runs past. Just stop. It's evident that you are in some sort of snare. The covers and all.
Won't blame you. I was in it once too. It's but by the grace of God I'm not there.
1) Read the Word. Your Spirit isn't going to last without food.
2) Put on the WHOLE armor of God. Eph 6:10-18. Right now. Right this second. You are like ducks to the Devil.
3) Next pray over yourselves and quote Scriptures. Those are two of your only weapons.
Pray, pray, pray, read, read and read!
