I totally agree with you James. This is a discovery for me over the years. My problem with sexual sin began very young. It was finding porn which only led me to masterbation and later on, hookers. I thought that being married would end all that. It did not. I still struggle, even though I have come to the Lord.
I don’t have anyone to confess to about this thing in my life. I have made the decision to repent of pornography for good. The last time I gave in (Sunday the 17th of January) was it for me. I am not making excuses, nor am able to anylonger. I will let the spirit of my mind be renewed according to Ephesians 4:22-23 as I was shown, the way to over come this addiction and be free. I wish I had a close friend to confess this to but I don’t, so I will say it here. I have given my life to Jesus and truly repented, and even though it won’t be easy, I want to fight for my life to be Holy.
Hi Jerry, are you aware that we have counseling programs available? It sounds like you would be in the perfect situation to enroll in one! www.purelifeministries.org
You got friends here brotha. We are all in this togather. It's not easy but God gives us strength, hold on to God. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. Simple truth is that either the Word of God will keep you away from sin, or sin will keep you away from the Word of God. So read your Bible bro. Be praying for ya
My 30 year marriage ended because of porn. I have tried to understand how and when it started in his life. He kept his addiction hidden until we had been married for 27years. The way he revealed his addiction was he desperately wanted me to be with other men. I am still so broken over the darkness of his spirit. Just pray for him, his name is Chris and he is now married to someone else.
Hi Linda. I'm very sorry to hear about the devastation sin has caused in your life. Praying that the Lord will send a sister in Christ to be a blessing to you and help guide you through this painful time of your life. If you haven't seen them yet, Kathy Gallagher has made several videos on our channel sharing her testimony called "Sacred Things: Hope for Struggling Marriages." Her testimony does not line up with yours exactly, but I'm sure the Lord could speak to you through her wisdom. God bless.
It's tough. I went into my marriage with a porn addiction, but I was open about it with my wife from the outset. God love her, she is upset by it, but sticks by me. I'd like to say that the demon is beaten, but it isn't. The fight goes on. Porn is poison. If I have indulged, I can immediately see a detrimental effect in my marriage. It's this that drives me on toward a solution. I'm still married, but it has been bloody tough for both of us, though mostly for my poor, long-suffering wife.
Omg, I'm am going through this right now! 26 yrs & he refuses to acknowledge the ussue. And very recently he really was going to let another man use me.... It was crushing. What is the correlation between the born& escort addiction that make your partner encourage your spouse to sleep with someone else!?!? I don't understand. Please I pray you will answer. Your the west person who has mentioned this part 💕
U were Not a good lie in bed so he needed another woman or stimoulations with whom might have more sexual intimacy !! Your marriage was a wrong marriage Not everybody Fits with his partner
For my own case of porn addiction and masturbation, I knew there had to be something else responsible but couldnt figure it out. I kept asking till the Lord told me that my problem is envy and bitterness. I was thrown back like Lord what's the connection between my sexual sin and bitterness but I told him I trusted his answer. Over the next few hours to days, I began to watch myself very critically and one day while watching a singles to married testimony, in a flash, the Lord showed me how the envy and bitterness worked in my life and I sat with him to dissect the issues. Once I repented of that and surrendered the issue to God, I got healed. It feels good to know God is in charge of my sexuality. Waiting on and for God to settle me maritally may not be easy but it is the only guarantee I have of enjoying intimacy throughout marriage. God bless you!
That is a wonderful testimony! You are so right, oftentimes the sexual sin is just a symptom of another sin. When we open the door to the devil in one area, we don’t get to control what comes through that door. God is serious about our holiness-in every area of our lives. In America we want to compartmentalize things. But God is looking for hearts that are wholly His. We praise God with you for this testimony. Many men need to hear that He is able to deliver!
Hi Tommy, there is a reason that you should fear if you see these things in your life. However, let the truth of these things drive you to Christ! He came to "destroy the works of the devil" and He is able to make you completely new. I would encourage you to start spending time with the Lord everyday, crying out to Him to save you. Look at Psalm 107. He is willing to hear our cries.
Me too. I can't seem.to break free. I've been to SA, I've been a Christian all my life, and I've struggled all my life. I have no peace. I'll do good for a while and then go back to vomit
@danny kitchens - Are you aware that we have a Residential Program for Christian men? There are so many guys who come to us and have the exact same story. They're tried EVERYTHING and it hasn't worked. They come hopeless, wondering if there is even such a thing as freedom from sexual sin. But there IS HOPE, and you need to taught what it is that gives the POWER to overcome sin. Please check out purelifeministries.org/residential and download an application.
hello I'm from Brazil and I'm struggling with sexual sin every year. I always keeps going falling over over again. I need pray to overcome this addiction. I feel a empty in my heart when .it's no easy get victory alone. Each day it become greater and deeper.
Hi mauricio, do not give up. The Lord promises freedom to those who will humbly seek Him. Have you ever considered applying to our Overcomers-at-Home (OCAH) counseling program? www.purelifeministries.org/overcomers
@@jayfreeman5117 yup man I'll would. I keep struggling those times of pandemic it causing me a feeling of emptiness lack of encouragement and others stuffs
@@mauricioandreoli6457 I feel that, and it is because you don’t feel invigorated spiritually, physically, or emotionally. I just understand that as I have gone through similar battles in the last couple of months. I’ll pray for you regarding that too, in the mean time plz remain optimistic that things will get better even if it’s slightly, i’m learning this too.
I truly appreciate and I think the Holy Spirit led me to this video I have fought a long battle with p*** addiction since I was 7 years old. At age 52 I currently have a 3 week victory over this! I do not gloat because I'm already feeling the pressure and the attack daily. The Voice that I hear gives me excuses as to why I should. Would like to ask for you to pray for me during this time. Thank you.
@Bobby Jones - How close do you live to Kentucky? We are having a conference next week, and we would love to have you join us. It's a bit last minute, but there's still time to register. And if you've never been to the Ark Encounter, the conference is at the Ark! conference.purelifeministries.org
@@PureLifeMinistries unfortunately I live out here in Oregon but I definitely appreciate the invite! I would like to speak see you if that's possible 503-592-2801 God bless
I still battle with serious sexual desires: Especially after my divorce.. Although God has healed me of pornography and constant sexual behavior with other women, I still struggle within me for sexual desires of women I work with or images of women I may just see at grocery stores, or just see briefly. Keep me strong Lord..
@405 BOY, this is a good testimony. There will always be a battle with the flesh, because the flesh is sinful. But in Jesus we are given the power of the Spirit to deny the flesh, take up the Cross and follow our Savior. As we abide in Him, He will help us to live a pure life. Don't give up!
@405 BOY - Did you know that we have a conference coming up? We would love to have you join us. It's at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY on April 23rd and 24th. If you're interested, go to conference.purelifeministries.org
Thank you for this video, so many "Ministers" spend all their time "preaching" but never "teach" anything. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Just stumbled onto your channel - GREAT information - TRUTHFUL information - GREAT TESTIMONY - May GOD BLESS YOU for your boldness to share your testimony and HIS HOLY TRUTH
I prayed today for help to overcome this demon and then I found this video. I am thankful and I wish to have a fruitful journey. Thank you for these lessons. Gotta go watch the first video now. ❤️ God bless you all! 🤗🥰❤️
Thank you Steve...just found this channel...I love God but struggling..you just described myself..I have to believe there is hope for me...He led me here
Hello, we praise God that He has led you here and that you have been sensitive to His leading. Have you considered applying for our residential program? www.purelifeministries.org/residential We are here to walk with men like you who earnestly desire a relationship with God but are overcome by sin.
I never had love from any parents and I don't have any Christian friends.... I need affection and discipline. I want God to help me and help me make friends and save me.
@@Chris-bv8qd I don't want to throw it out here publicly because anyone could infiltrate it at any time. But would you want to email me and we can chat? I would love to have you on.
🤐 women struggle to... Lord forgive me .....I go for months without a slip then the temptation overwhelms me I slip then watch a video like this right after... Something really wrong here
I definitely understand you, I struggle with it so bad and I am only 20 and just recently got saved and have been baptized in the Holy spirit i speak in tongues as well , but the list takes over and i can’t control myself..But we can not let satan keep condemning us , this is what Christ is doing for us he writes our story, we want him to just boom fix this issue but that’s not what is gonna happen he is doing this for a reason.. we must keep praying in the spirit against the enemy , he has no power over us !! We will fight the battle and close the mouth of the enemy in Jesus mighty name ! The victory belongs to Jesus of Nazareth!! Amen praise Jesus !! God Bless you!
I’m a woman too and you are not alone it’s so terrible when your in bed alone at night craving a man’s touch yet your so terrified of getting rejected but you crave it more than you can take. It makes me feel like I can’t trust myself like I’m constantly fighting with myself.
Thank you so much brother in the Lord for creating the series before I found this I gave up and the night. I gave up I found this series I thank you for being a teacher in this very few people ever teach about the problems of sexual temptation and pornography addiction how to how to break the stronghold over with the authority of the the word Jesus and learning how to fight the battle thank you again I feel very blessed in my life that you created this series and shared your own experiences you did this thank you again and God bless and your family and every area
Hi Darcy, thanks for your comment! We are very grateful to be able to provide these resources for God's people. We pray that He continue to speak to you in the months and years to come. We appreciate your blessing and may the Lord bless you, too!
Let's pray for all one another for God to break these chains that bind us and may we walk away from our wicked ways and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤ In Jesus's Mighty name we pray, Amen 🙏
Friend, thank God for you! Keep fighting against this very destructive evil, sweeping this world. This addiction has destroyed the church, but God is exposing it all.
I’m going through the same thing brother. If you fail just ask forgiveness and start again. Just don’t give up and don’t beat yourself up over it. Every time you fail you’ve learned about a new “trigger “ and then you can work to avoid it.
You have been a blessing to me with these videos, I have only in the last month held my sexual lust in check with the help of Christ and the ability to stay busy to the point that at 9 pm in the evening that I shower , clean my home and fall to sleep listening to the holy spirit speaking through your voice !!!
@keith williamson, this is wonderful. By the way, did you know that we have a Conference coming up at the end of April at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky? We would love to see you there. Conference.purelifeministries.org
Not sure how to end addiction but i know what starts it. In my case it is a combo of longing for the right woman and instead, being cheated on by every woman ive had a relationship with.
dont give up in life brother! dont focus or dont chase women.. instead focus on your self first.. find your passion take care of yourself.. go to the gym.. cut the toxic people in your life.. and of course set a goal in your life( long term goal) if you do that.. you can bring back your life💪💪.. goodluck brother
I knew of pure life ministries years ago. I prayed and begged for my husband to be willing to go seek healing there. That never happened and eventually this destroyed our marriage . We were married 28 years. Please for the sake of the Lord, for your marriage, your children , your testimony seek help. Steve has been helping men for many years. I'm so happy to see the ministry still striving to help such a huge problem in the world. GOD bless you!
I've been struggling with pornography for around 5-6 years; and it's only been recently that I'm making serious attempts towards breaking it. But I screw up, I find myself looking at things I shouldn't, even as I try to block websites and pull away from things. Even today I indulged my lust but I kept pulling away; but I feel empty towards these victories. I need help
@amerrack - did you know that we have a Residential Program? You would be given a place completely free from the sources of temptation and would have a pastoral counselor to help disciple you. Please check it out purelifeministries.org
Praise God, Frank! That’s such a wonderful testimony to the Lord’s grace. Stay connected to Him through daily time in the Word and prayer and never take your eyes off the Cross of Jesus Christ!
I was raised at a nudist resort from the age of 5 until I quit going at age 17. My stepfather and grandfather were both addicted to pornography and voyeurism. Sexual sin destroys lives and only Jesus can heal you
@@axolendzimane139 Read "Romans" in the New Testament. It will illuminate your path. The first prayer GOD will listen to from each person is the confession of sin and petition for forgiveness. All other prayers come after this
Thank you for being willing to dress the subject that most people want to avoid but know it needs to be addressed and encouraged to be dealt with God bless you man may your ministry grow a hundredfold for the glory of God.
What you are calling "self" is ego. The self is not "selfishness", ego is selfishness. The self is the space of possibilities of what you can be, including your best.
He's definitely not saying he's perfect. He's really just trying to testify that sin is the thing that makes us miserable! The devil is always lying to us, promising us freedom and pleasure, and then once we take the bait--misery, problems, and eventually death. When we follow God's path of repentance and obedience to God, the joy and the peace begin to flow.
Lord please help me I keep asking for help and I do this over and over again I need you more than ever got to get you into my life please don’t let Satan take over me I’m trying I’m so weak!!!!!
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Jesus Christ was our perfect example back to God. He was baptized and received the Holy Ghost and we must be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. He was holy and walked in righteousness and we must be holy and walk in righteousness. He died and rose again, and we must die to the things of this world and rise to walk in the newness of life. He prayed to the father showing us how to pray to the father. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you for doing so!
TO ALL WHO ARE HURTING AND DESPERATE - PLEASE READ ALL - this is for you. It is a matter of life & death. It has been said, “That the darkest hour is just before dawn”. When you have lost all hope, and all you see is darkness, remember, never let your life be defined by desperation and hopelessness, grasp this one moment in time, reach out to Jesus, He does His best work in dark places. Lay your broken heart at the foot of the cross and Let the light of Christ shine within you. The very fact that you exist is God’s testimony of His love for you, you were created in His own image. Never give up, your finest day is yet to come, Receive Christ now, He is the caretaker of your soul. The Gospel message was created for you. The simplicity of the Gospel, - Here it is Romans 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”. He bled and died so you could live. The devil wants to destroy you, Jesus wants to rescue and restore you. Jesus is calling your name, please come home to me, I am your Father waiting with open arms to receive you. Read: (Isaiah 41:10), always remember that your Prayers’ Matter to God, He honors them. My prayer today for each one of you who reads these words, is that God would remove from you all feelings of despair and hopelessness’, and restore you in to the loving arms of Christ Jesus, and surround each one of you with the sacred Blood of Christ Jesus as a living, healing, protective shield, from the evil one and all the powers of darkness. Remember the devil is a defeated foe, and you are never alone, Christ is always, and I do mean always, by your side. During the storms of life that you will go through from time to time, remember God is right there with you, hold on to Him. Did you know that when you have a hard time praying the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf (Romans 8:26-27), take comfort in that as well. I send you my personal invitation to receive Christ now. AMEN. The true God of Christianity (Jesus) is the only one who became flesh, and suffered and died for you on the cross, He rose again 3 days later, conquering death, and providing a bridge to the Father, and He did this for you. There are only two choices that you have, Jesus Christ or Satan (and hell). Someone once said. “I would not walk across the room to tell you about my religion of Christianity, but I will crawl on my hands and knees through broken glass to hell and back to tell you about the love of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.” IT’S NOT A RELIGION, IT’S A RELATIONSHIP. He wants that relationship with you now. YOU WANT TO FEEL WHAT LOVE IS? YOU NEED LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE CROSS OF CHRIST. (Isaiah 41:10) - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. REPLY: to me, if you would like me to pray for you, about anything. (PS, I need your Prayers As well) PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to listen to this song “Softly and Tenderly” I chose it for you. .Click the URL below ruclips.net/video/8s64Z16ZHLI/видео.html
this is a good talk/sermon about dying to the self and the beatitudes. not sure it connects with sex addiction, or any addiction. a man can rid himself of worldly pride and still be sensual, addicted to pornography, drink, food or drugs.
Hi John, I think Pastor Steve's point is that you CANNOT live a self-less life and be addicted to porn or any other sin. To quote him, "The truth is that the more sin is indulged, the more misery one can expect to follow in its wake. In some inexplicable way, sin enlarges the Self life. And the greater the Self life, the more sin is desired. ... It took me quite a while before I came to understand that God’s kingdom is built in self-LESS-ness, not self-ISH-ness. It is founded on humility, not pride." His point is that a life of sin shows that one is still living for self since sin feeds self and self feeds sin. Sin is the evidence that we are still living for ourselves. The man who truly rids himself of pride will be submitted to God and his ways, and he will receive His grace (James 4:6-10), which is power to overcome sin (Titus 2:11&12).
May all of you be blessed with the love and light of Jesus. I'm tired of pretending to be ok...I'm a sexual sinner too. Prayers for everyone struggling. 🙏🏻❤🙋♀️
I feel God has led me to this. It seems like I go a week without porn then I just fall into it cause the urge become so strong. I feel low and frustrated. I pray this helps.
@eric siek - thanks for reaching out. We regularly pray that God would lead people to our resources. We’re glad that He answered on your behalf! Do you have any questions that maybe we could help with?
I became a skdiver for 23 yrs. Not an ordinary one but one who pushed the limits. I watched 42 friends die doing it they also pushed the limits. No im a sex addict that lives in chronic pain from so many injuries.
I would like to repent of my sexual sin, I feel so dead and empty inside, I'm scared Dat I have reached a point of no return, the Lord has guided me several times to repent of my sin but I have refused to listen. I want God to forgive me and give me another chance because I really can't do this alone also I don't know where to go to look fo help😭please help 🙏
So I can relate to that up bringing, Very simular. I don't know where to begin or start! Please help. I don't like where my walk with the Lord my relationship with my wife, and daughter is I need HELP!
Not sure which brand of Christian this guy is, however, the truth is truth whether from this guy or Odin, so I'll listen. It's like eating meat, swallow the meat, spit out the gristle.
To sin means to "miss the mark", which in the context of sexual self-gratification with no one but yourself, by yourself, means they have literally missed the actually purposeful aim of the sexual imperative itself, which is to copulate with or make love to an actual sexual partner.
@Stian S - If you're not able to find a partner, you have to trust that the Lord will give you the grace to live a pure life. He absolutely has the power to help us live a life that is free from sin.
@@shanthageorge8254 Since every man that has anger, resentment and/or bitterness has the mindset and nature of his momma, apologize to your son for separating him from his father and tell him to forgive his father for not standing up to evil (specially the evil in his momma), and love him. He'll be free and Father God will forgive him from his sins. I wish him the best that he overcomes the momma mindset.

Hi Jim, thanks for commenting. Respectfully, I have to disagree for you, especially for the sake of people who will read your comment. I do not deny the very damaging effects of a person who has been sexually abused, but to say that a person is then "permanently" hyper-sexualized is incredibly discouraging. The good news of Jesus Christ is that when we repent and truly believe in His name, He gives us the Holy Spirit and makes us a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) That new creation is created in true righteousness and holiness, (Ephesians 4:24) and Jesus Christ breaks the power of sin in our lives. (Romans 6:6) Will their be temptations and struggles? Yes. But they will no longer be defined by the life they once lived. Forgive me if I misunderstood the intent of your comment. But again, for those who may read it, I want to make sure they understand that real freedom and victory has been made possible in Jesus Christ!
Even as an agnostic i agree PORN IS EVIL. Sometimes love 💕 wins. Keeping from sexual activity unless it's between a couple who are committed which in itself is a marriage. Sex is special !! We are the only species that can look into the eyes of their partner during sex. It's more of a spiritual bonding then simple pleasure. I grew to know this. Caring about self is never the way we are ONE we are we never can i move alone in this world to just be only me.
That's not me my problem is I have no family who cared about me and no friends so I am always lonly and I when I can't deal with my problems I get anxiety and depression and this was a way to deal with that.
There is nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.
That's deep👊🏽
I had to screen shot this
Wow I applaud you
Wow I applaud you
Wow!!😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 🎉
Guys the worst thing you can do is “I haven’t watched in a while so it’s ok to watch a little bit” that’s when you fall into it again
So true
gay guys too! sorry man i just gotta make that distinction idk why lol but yeah i agree
Sin takes you further than you want to go and cost you more than you will be willing to pay!
That's exactly right.
and keeps you longer than you want to stay!
AWESOME: This is one of the most profound statements I've ever read on RUclips and Drew's comment completes it.

I thought that being married would end all that. It did not. I still struggle, even though I have come to the Lord.

Self - One of the most powerful tools the enemy uses to harness and bend us to his will.
Well said
Sir you are brutally honest and it scares the hell out of me because I agree with you 100%, and I see it in my own life thank you so much..
Hi Tommy, there is a reason that you should fear if you see these things in your life. However, let the truth of these things drive you to Christ! He came to "destroy the works of the devil" and He is able to make you completely new. I would encourage you to start spending time with the Lord everyday, crying out to Him to save you. Look at Psalm 107. He is willing to hear our cries.
@@PureLifeMinistries hi I am on last stage to overcome masterbution and I found your video

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."
Proverbs 14:12
“sin enlarges the self life, and the greater the self life, the more sin is desired” - this is so succinct
Frankly I knew the risks of sex addiction but still it pulled me towards itself... Please pray for me dear Father
Me too. I can't seem.to break free. I've been to SA, I've been a Christian all my life, and I've struggled all my life. I have no peace. I'll do good for a while and then go back to vomit
@danny kitchens - Are you aware that we have a Residential Program for Christian men? There are so many guys who come to us and have the exact same story. They're tried EVERYTHING and it hasn't worked. They come hopeless, wondering if there is even such a thing as freedom from sexual sin. But there IS HOPE, and you need to taught what it is that gives the POWER to overcome sin. Please check out purelifeministries.org/residential and download an application.
@@PureLifeMinistries I had no idea. Thank you! I'll definitely check the link out
Sending love and light to you sir. 🙋♀️❤🙏🏻

hello I'm from Brazil and I'm struggling with sexual sin every year. I always keeps going falling over over again. I need pray to overcome this addiction. I feel a empty in my heart when .it's no easy get victory alone. Each day it become greater and deeper.
Hi mauricio, do not give up. The Lord promises freedom to those who will humbly seek Him. Have you ever considered applying to our Overcomers-at-Home (OCAH) counseling program? www.purelifeministries.org/overcomers
I’ll pray for you but in the mean time if you would like some tips please let me know.
@@jayfreeman5117 yup man I'll would. I keep struggling those times of pandemic it causing me a feeling of emptiness lack of encouragement and others stuffs
@@mauricioandreoli6457 I feel that, and it is because you don’t feel invigorated spiritually, physically, or emotionally. I just understand that as I have gone through similar battles in the last couple of months. I’ll pray for you regarding that too, in the mean time plz remain optimistic that things will get better even if it’s slightly, i’m learning this too.
Praying for you 🙏
I truly appreciate and I think the Holy Spirit led me to this video I have fought a long battle with p*** addiction since I was 7 years old. At age 52 I currently have a 3 week victory over this! I do not gloat because I'm already feeling the pressure and the attack daily. The Voice that I hear gives me excuses as to why I should. Would like to ask for you to pray for me during this time. Thank you.

As long as self is in control GOD can do little with us.💯
I still battle with serious sexual desires: Especially after my divorce.. Although God has healed me of pornography and constant sexual behavior with other women, I still struggle within me for sexual desires of women I work with or images of women I may just see at grocery stores, or just see briefly. Keep me strong Lord..
@405 BOY, this is a good testimony. There will always be a battle with the flesh, because the flesh is sinful. But in Jesus we are given the power of the Spirit to deny the flesh, take up the Cross and follow our Savior. As we abide in Him, He will help us to live a pure life. Don't give up!
@@PureLifeMinistries Yes I agree. Amen brother 👍🙏

I definitely understand you, I struggle with it so bad and I am only 20 and just recently got saved and have been baptized in the Holy spirit i speak in tongues as well , but the list takes over and i can’t control myself..But we can not let satan keep condemning us , this is what Christ is doing for us he writes our story, we want him to just boom fix this issue but that’s not what is gonna happen he is doing this for a reason.. we must keep praying in the spirit against the enemy , he has no power over us !! We will fight the battle and close the mouth of the enemy in Jesus mighty name ! The victory belongs to Jesus of Nazareth!! Amen praise Jesus !! God Bless you!
I’m a woman too and you are not alone it’s so terrible when your in bed alone at night craving a man’s touch yet your so terrified of getting rejected but you crave it more than you can take. It makes me feel like I can’t trust myself like I’m constantly fighting with myself.

Thank you so much brother in the Lord for creating the series before I found this I gave up and the night.

Friend, thank God for you! Keep fighting against this very destructive evil, sweeping this world. This addiction has destroyed the church, but God is exposing it all.
Remember me in prayer. I have struggled with this all my life. I am a Christian and it eats me up that I struggle still.
Your not alone I have the same problem and I'm a believer
I’m going through the same thing brother. If you fail just ask forgiveness and start again. Just don’t give up and don’t beat yourself up over it. Every time you fail you’ve learned about a new “trigger “ and then you can work to avoid it.
You have been a blessing to me with these videos, I have only in the last month held my sexual lust in check with the help of Christ and the ability to stay busy to the point that at 9 pm in the evening that I shower , clean my home and fall to sleep listening to the holy spirit speaking through your voice !!!

Great video. I have a lot of work to do to clean up my life. When you get hooked in it's like a prison. Time to find a way out.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. God bless.
Our pleasure!
Not sure how to end addiction but i know what starts it. In my case it is a combo of longing for the right woman and instead, being cheated on by every woman ive had a relationship with.
dont give up in life brother! dont focus or dont chase women.. instead focus on your self first.. find your passion take care of yourself.. go to the gym.. cut the toxic people in your life.. and of course set a goal in your life( long term goal) if you do that.. you can bring back your life💪💪.. goodluck brother
Absolutely beautiful message.
For addressing this most hard subject for many
So many will relate to this, very important video to watch.
wow, amazing and honest testimony. Really gets me thinking about my own life. Thank you for this amazing video!!!
You are so welcome!
I knew of pure life ministries years ago. I prayed and begged for my husband to be willing to go seek healing there. That never happened and eventually this destroyed our marriage . We were married 28 years. Please for the sake of the Lord, for your marriage, your children , your testimony seek help. Steve has been helping men for many years. I'm so happy to see the ministry still striving to help such a huge problem in the world. GOD bless you!
Powerful!! Thank you for such clarity in this area!!
This opened my eyes I have to admit, I can relate to your story.
I've been struggling with pornography for around 5-6 years; and it's only been recently that I'm making serious attempts towards breaking it.
But I screw up, I find myself looking at things I shouldn't, even as I try to block websites and pull away from things.
Even today I indulged my lust but I kept pulling away; but I feel empty towards these victories.
I need help
@amerrack - did you know that we have a Residential Program? You would be given a place completely free from the sources of temptation and would have a pastoral counselor to help disciple you. Please check it out purelifeministries.org

Great video...Im ready to make the changes I need to break this over my life...
I was raised at a nudist resort from the age of 5 until I quit going at age 17. My stepfather and grandfather were both addicted to pornography and voyeurism. Sexual sin destroys lives and only Jesus can heal you
It's close to destroying mine. I want to be set free but it's difficult
@@axolendzimane139 It is difficult because you have to receive a gift? Believe. That is what it requires. Love GOD, Love people.
Unbelief is the path to destruction
God help me to overcome my unbelief. I love God and I do love people
@@axolendzimane139 Read "Romans" in the New Testament. It will illuminate your path. The first prayer GOD will listen to from each person is the confession of sin and petition for forgiveness. All other prayers come after this
It's narcissistic abuse from the parents that's where addictions come from you've got to go no contact
That is our "free will". Serve self or others. The choice is ours.

Thank you for your comment Edwin!
What you are calling "self" is ego. The self is not "selfishness", ego is selfishness. The self is the space of possibilities of what you can be, including your best.
Wow…. This was extremely well done, insightful and on point. Nice job 👍🏼
Much appreciated!
Got to be best feed I've been sent,now to take action in this direction
This is eye opening
Wow so happy he's perfect now and got it all sorted no more misery for this perfect guy, what a blessing.
Where does he say he's perfect?
He's definitely not saying he's perfect. He's really just trying to testify that sin is the thing that makes us miserable! The devil is always lying to us, promising us freedom and pleasure, and then once we take the bait--misery, problems, and eventually death.
When we follow God's path of repentance and obedience to God, the joy and the peace begin to flow.
Good, basic teaching. Solid. It challenges one to look HARD at oneself. Nice. Thank you.
Thanks for the encouragement
Thank you, this was awesome!

Lord please help me I keep asking for help and I do this over and over again I need you more than ever got to get you into my life please don’t let Satan take over me I’m trying I’m so weak!!!!!
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.
For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.
We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.
We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.
Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.
It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Jesus Christ was our perfect example back to God. He was baptized and received the Holy Ghost and we must be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. He was holy and walked in righteousness and we must be holy and walk in righteousness. He died and rose again, and we must die to the things of this world and rise to walk in the newness of life. He prayed to the father showing us how to pray to the father. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you for doing so!
Truth. Every word.
TO ALL WHO ARE HURTING AND DESPERATE - PLEASE READ ALL - this is for you. It is a matter of life & death.
It has been said, “That the darkest hour is just before dawn”. When you have lost all hope, and all you see is darkness, remember, never let your life be defined by desperation and hopelessness, grasp this one moment in time, reach out to Jesus, He does His best work in dark places. Lay your broken heart at the foot of the cross and Let the light of Christ shine within you. The very fact that you exist is God’s testimony of His love for you, you were created in His own image. Never give up, your finest day is yet to come, Receive Christ now, He is the caretaker of your soul. The Gospel message was created for you. The simplicity of the Gospel, - Here it is Romans 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”.
He bled and died so you could live. The devil wants to destroy you, Jesus wants to rescue and restore you. Jesus is calling your name, please come home to me, I am your Father waiting with open arms to receive you. Read: (Isaiah 41:10), always remember that your Prayers’ Matter to God, He honors them. My prayer today for each one of you who reads these words, is that God would remove from you all feelings of despair and hopelessness’, and restore you in to the loving arms of Christ Jesus, and surround each one of you with the sacred Blood of Christ Jesus as a living, healing, protective shield, from the evil one and all the powers of darkness.
Remember the devil is a defeated foe, and you are never alone, Christ is always, and I do mean always, by your side. During the storms of life that you will go through from time to time, remember God is right there with you, hold on to Him. Did you know that when you have a hard time praying the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf (Romans 8:26-27), take comfort in that as well. I send you my personal invitation to receive Christ now. AMEN. The true God of Christianity (Jesus) is the only one who became flesh, and suffered and died for you on the cross, He rose again 3 days later, conquering death, and providing a bridge to the Father, and He did this for you. There are only two choices that you have, Jesus Christ or Satan (and hell).
Someone once said. “I would not walk across the room to tell you about my religion of Christianity, but I will crawl on my hands and knees through broken glass to hell and back to tell you about the love of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.”
IT’S NOT A RELIGION, IT’S A RELATIONSHIP. He wants that relationship with you now.
YOU WANT TO FEEL WHAT LOVE IS? YOU NEED LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE CROSS OF CHRIST.
(Isaiah 41:10) - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
REPLY: to me, if you would like me to pray for you, about anything. (PS, I need your Prayers As well)

Service is an antidote to selfishness.
We need to got out of own way.Let God break our bad habits of we developed in sin. Jesus help to overcome sexual sin Amen!
this is a good talk/sermon about dying to the self and the beatitudes. not sure it connects with sex addiction, or any addiction. a man can rid himself of worldly pride and still be sensual, addicted to pornography, drink, food or drugs.
Hi John, I think Pastor Steve's point is that you CANNOT live a self-less life and be addicted to porn or any other sin.
To quote him, "The truth is that the more sin is indulged, the more misery one can expect to follow in its wake. In some inexplicable way, sin enlarges the Self life. And the greater the Self life, the more sin is desired. ... It took me quite a while before I came to understand that God’s kingdom is built in self-LESS-ness, not self-ISH-ness. It is founded on humility, not pride."
His point is that a life of sin shows that one is still living for self since sin feeds self and self feeds sin. Sin is the evidence that we are still living for ourselves. The man who truly rids himself of pride will be submitted to God and his ways, and he will receive His grace (James 4:6-10), which is power to overcome sin (Titus 2:11&12).
Please pray for me!
Truth. Praise Ehyeh.
May all of you be blessed with the love and light of Jesus. I'm tired of pretending to be ok...I'm a sexual sinner too. Prayers for everyone struggling. 🙏🏻❤🙋♀️
Amen I found my life when I laid it down at the feet of Jesus
One formula: Communion will change your the world for your good. And it’s instant healing and effective relief from darkness!
Your pretty good sad your not getting enough exposure
I feel God has led me to this. It seems like I go a week without porn then I just fall into it cause the urge become so strong. I feel low and frustrated. I pray this helps.
@eric siek - thanks for reaching out. We regularly pray that God would lead people to our resources. We’re glad that He answered on your behalf! Do you have any questions that maybe we could help with?
I became a skdiver for 23 yrs. Not an ordinary one but one who pushed the limits. I watched 42 friends die doing it they also pushed the limits. No im a sex addict that lives in chronic pain from so many injuries.
Sounds like my dad. Masturbation became my escape from the misery of my life at an early age.
Thank you
Yes what we feed will grow what we starve will die.
I would like to repent of my sexual sin, I feel so dead and empty inside, I'm scared Dat I have reached a point of no return, the Lord has guided me several times to repent of my sin but I have refused to listen. I want God to forgive me and give me another chance because I really can't do this alone also I don't know where to go to look fo help😭please help 🙏
So I can relate to that up bringing,
Very simular. I don't know where to begin or start! Please help. I don't like where my walk with the Lord my relationship with my wife, and daughter is I need HELP!
Not sure which brand of Christian this guy is, however, the truth is truth whether from this guy or Odin, so I'll listen. It's like eating meat, swallow the meat, spit out the gristle.
To sin means to "miss the mark", which in the context of sexual self-gratification with no one but yourself, by yourself, means they have literally missed the actually purposeful aim of the sexual imperative itself, which is to copulate with or make love to an actual sexual partner.
Yes, it’s a very selfish act.
What if for some reason you're not able to find a partner?
@Stian S - If you're not able to find a partner, you have to trust that the Lord will give you the grace to live a pure life. He absolutely has the power to help us live a life that is free from sin.
The desires of look over come your sensability
Your father had the mindset and anger of his momma. Forgive him and love him. You'll be free.
Aramis, will you explain this. My son needs to hear what you have to say about forgiving his father.
@@shanthageorge8254 Since every man that has anger, resentment and/or bitterness has the mindset and nature of his momma, apologize to your son for separating him from his father and tell him to forgive his father for not standing up to evil (specially the evil in his momma), and love him. He'll be free and Father God will forgive him from his sins. I wish him the best that he overcomes the momma mindset.
I need help. Please help

Most sexual addiction has to do with the person having been sexually abused as a child, as the sexual abuse permanently hyper-sexualizes them.
Hi Jim, thanks for commenting.
Respectfully, I have to disagree for you, especially for the sake of people who will read your comment.
I do not deny the very damaging effects of a person who has been sexually abused, but to say that a person is then "permanently" hyper-sexualized is incredibly discouraging. The good news of Jesus Christ is that when we repent and truly believe in His name, He gives us the Holy Spirit and makes us a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) That new creation is created in true righteousness and holiness, (Ephesians 4:24) and Jesus Christ breaks the power of sin in our lives. (Romans 6:6)
Will their be temptations and struggles? Yes. But they will no longer be defined by the life they once lived.
Forgive me if I misunderstood the intent of your comment. But again, for those who may read it, I want to make sure they understand that real freedom and victory has been made possible in Jesus Christ!
Can Sex never satisfy the self? Be it with beautiful girl or multiple times? Please help me?
Even as an agnostic i agree PORN IS EVIL. Sometimes love 💕 wins. Keeping from sexual activity unless it's between a couple who are committed which in itself is a marriage. Sex is special !! We are the only species that can look into the eyes of their partner during sex. It's more of a spiritual bonding then simple pleasure. I grew to know this. Caring about self is never the way we are ONE we are we never can i move alone in this world to just be only me.
That's not me my problem is I have no family who cared about me and no friends so I am always lonly and I when I can't deal with my problems I get anxiety and depression and this was a way to deal with that.
Thank you very much Pastor, I am blessed by your teachings, greetings from the Philippines to GOD be the glory.
The Tyranny of Self - how true!
