A lot of it is due to separation anxiety, we crave a connection with someone but it’s actually a desire to be with God, with the source of love. That’s just my opinion.
Yes Jesus is the way, truth and life... focus on him to change ur mind, heart then ur life..Jesus paid for all our sins on the cross. We need to believe and Trust him, his word/promises.
Amen Jordai! This may be a subject of taboo for some people, but there are men & women, both young and old, married and single, who are struggling mightily in the area of sexual purity. The Bible tells us that we should not be ignorant of the enemy's devices. Let’s be intentional about exposing the devil, and help those who are bound in sexual sin realize that the blood of Jesus has the power to break every chain! 🙏🏾 ruclips.net/video/WX4Vd6-1EF8/видео.html
Thank you, brother, for reminding me that Jesus already paid for my sis and I have been struggling with sexual sin and I get embarrassed and shameful to face God again afterwards knowing I am not worthy and this helps knowing I can still come to God even though I am a sinner because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Same here brother, I’m fasting from Pleasing my flesh for 40 Days, (Not including eating). And not Sinning🙏🏼I know my Lord and Savior makes me Strong and helps me along the Way✝️Lets have faith in the Lord Brother 🙌🏻
orville, watch this video from Charles Stanley about "focusing on God not your problems" It works for me, was a constant struggle my whole life ruclips.net/video/LloFz5fl0Wg/видео.html
Video is 2 years old yet very effective and useful. Thank you for creating videos like this to share the word of god with us. I am beginning my path as a Christian and I use your videos as a study guide to learn more and strengthen my spirit.
Thanks for this advice I’ve been struggling for years with sexual sin and also have anxiety depression.. the meds for anxiety depression definitely helps to suppress my sexual urges ... my living space is a trigger... I pray and pray but need more help .. I truly believe I’m gonna get the help I need with this sin... you gave me lots of insight... God bless you !!
Also do something for someone else, make healthy connections with others. If you think about others you have no time to think about yourself. Keep your heart, mind and spirit busy so it's not the devils workshop. Have they received the Holy Spirit? If so then allow Him to lead you because He will lead you to Jesus, He is the Way like Bro. Mark said. This applies to whatever the sin.
I've been struggling since March with pornography and masterbation mainly, and and when I see March I say that because I got out of a 3 year relationship that involved sex outside of marriage... but I'm out of that now but still struggle with this , and still have thoughts of sex in general. I always repent and pray about it before and after. Still nothing. I do struggle with some social anxiety since my early teens. I'm 27 now . I just feel like it's a phylogical cyle of sin I can't get out of. This video helped tho . I deleted apps also that trigger lustful images etc
THANK YOU for talking with so much grace, love, peace and joy about a very embarrassing and taboo subject. Just having open "conversations" like this without making me feel guilty is very helpful. I appreciate it. I can feel and see Jesus in you.
Wow when you said people places & things I started to break down .. because in my hometown I feel like I’ve experienced so much trauma certain places do trigger bad emotions for me.. thank you for all you do ! May God continue to bless you
I was a mormon for so long, nearly 20 years, till i knew the truth of grace in Jesus Christ and quit this evil cult... Had i just known all of this before i'd have never suffered what i did ...u got a bit late my little cherub, ......Thank you veryyyyy muccchhhhhh anyway, my gifted heavenly angel for your spirituality and wisdom ! May God bless u alwaysssssssssss...Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela...🙏🙏🙏 😊
Tough topic to even put out there but some great insight. For sometime I've been trying to figure this out in myself. I'm saved by grace for sure but I've struggled in this area forever. I didn't understand it. God why am I so weak in this and I came up with some of your conclusions. My biggest struggle is I'm in a lot of pain daily. I'm never going to not be in pain and that effected my relationship with my wife. That desire was there but physically I couldn't go through with sex. So I got caught up in sin and had to pray and meditate through this temptation. I'm growing thought God's grace for me and have gained ground with it. I'm asking the Lord to give me the physical strength to be with my wife and give her the patience to wait for those good days. I just wanted to share this. Thank God for His grace and love for us.
You know what helps beside prayers and for people to pray for you and not to stop. Is fasting its a great way for God to release you from things or changes you can't make. when you want for God to answer in something really big. Even if someone is praying for you while their fasting. Even if you have fast for it as well. There is never too much prayer for anyone. It's going to be hard and your going to need help. By people really keeping you in payers. God bless you🍂🍂🍂
This guy is so smart to think like this! My boyfriend is addicted to porn and most recently diagnosed with clinical depression and Bipolar/Schizoaffective Disorder. Porn was one outlet to achieve a temporary high to get his mind off his depression. Then he went to drug use; the same reason. A temporary, physical high because his own chemical imbalances are severely low and he is relying on external, physical "things" to provide what he himself cannot experience. It has been one of the hardest relationships of my life but these videos are life-lifters!
I trust only God as my therapist, on you tube a lot professional help to understand myself too... yep, sometimes we need serious help, sometimes need seek doctors help....
About tamtation. When people are struggling with sexual tamtation often is not that they are addicted to sex. It that they as struggling with a weakness. That means you are week and you can't with it. That mean you have to pray and fast and ask for prayers so God can help you to over come your weakness. Gods the only one that can help you. Brake or of those chains of a slave to sex.Yes if you are surrounded by people that they talking dirty about sex and bold or it's easy for you to get sex from them. You have to start limiting them from your circle. And surrounded yourself with people that are in control of there wants because they depend on Gods plans for them.
It’s seems like when we finally stop, the urge gets even more intense and it seems like things that temp just come from left and right more than ever and it’s like every time we fall back into its gets harder to get back out it’s daily struggle. Sex and money are the biggest weapons that the devil uses in my opinion.
People places and things - this is something I could use some advice on. So last week I was on vacation and I noticed I was feeling really good about myself and my life. I was doing things , finding a sense of purpose and direction in life, like there was no great anchor on my life. Just overall not being bogged down in my mind like I normally am at home. I was finally starting to become who I truly desire to be , feeling more confident and being more my greatest self and who I believe God also desires for me to be. Because when I’m at home (my home since birth - I’m 20 now) it feels like life lives me , not the other way around. I get so caught up in my mind and not actually doing anything - whereas when I was on vacation moving around and doing things , it was like I was finally living my life - finally in control of my life instead of sinking in mind fog and getting drowned by life mentally. If anybody has any advice on how I can be free from this weight in my life , and transform my home (how it makes me react, rather) into a place which builds me up instead of a place that holds me up - please do leave me with it. God bless you all. Mark thank you again for a great video
Anti-depressants? I’m allergic to most medication. Maybe it would be better to try a diet change, to detox. And research which foods increase or decrease sex desires and base your diet around what’s supposed to lower desire till marriage. It wouldn’t be a fix all but it’s a good alternative for those who cannot take medication.
I agree with your mental state as being a cause for continually struggling, but I don’t think medicine would be necessarily be the answer, the Bible gives us instruction on how to handle our minds.
Well the first one sounds about right. Backsliding because of constant emotional abuse. Maybe I really should get on some meds. I’ve been trying to stop again for about 4 years now, and also trying to pick up the Bible bible on a usual basis, but it has just felt like the whole world is against me. If anyone sees this, please send a prayer my way.
Hey! I know that it's hard to feel that way. But I'll also be praying for you 😊 Also, you can message me of how you feel any now and then 😊 God bless you! Keep the faith!
Sad to say my friend nudity and sexuality is everywhere we are surrounded by it , the trigger is everywhere :prayer , fasting , cold showers and prayers prayers psalm 51 ❤
To be honest I struggle with porn but no matter what I kept on repenting and I used to fall in given to temptation I repent and told God to help escape from it so everytime I got tempt for now on I would pray to God I would just keep doing that but I'm asking god for a girlfriend he will give me to help me overcome and be helpful with me and lord one of these days
Yes Glorifying GOD is the goal also it is to obey GOD's commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man
Thanks a lot brother, may GOD bless you abundantly for your videos. Your videos are making me have deeper relationship with our saviour. Thank you. My name is vivek, please pray for me. Am struggling in the area of Porn and masturbation.
Scientifically speaking, testosterone is the reason why so many people struggle with this sin, and the higher the levels the harder it becomes to resist it and the levels keep rising until ejaculation that’s another thing we have to remember
My wife works late night hours and i hate being home alone because thats when i struggle most with sexual sin. My heart just desires more to act in these times of the day. I struggle alot with guilt and shame and i think its because i dont confess my sin to my wife. I hate bringing it up to her because its always so disappointing to her when i watch porn.
My girlfriend and I have come to christ. Unfortunately though, she doesn't want to stop fornicating and this is a bit of a deal breaker for her. I've bought a ring and I want to get married already so we can solve this but I work part time and study fulltime. So does She. So we wont be able to afford a wedding for a couple years. What can I do?
We did! No kids yet but that'll come too. I just wanna say if any guy is reading this and is planning a proposal. Just bloody do it already. The fancier the plan, the more you'll put it off. It's not about an event, it's about life on the other side :) @Spuckley.
I just want it gone especially the thoughts and feeling body be craving for him sometimes I want to pee and the though comes like I am actually do it with then I just play into it cause my body is burning for sex. Gosh I got baptized I thought I would overcome this immediately dang this is hard I need help
Well I think he just wants you to know that he loves you just as much as before. When I struggle with this and fall I remember that he forgives me and loves me and because he forgives me, I can forgive myself. I just keep trying. He knows I'm trying and he understands. Hope this helps.
SIN IS TERRIBLE I HAD A SPECIFIC SIN AND GOD DEALT WITH ME ON IT! PRAY AND ASK GOD TO HELP TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU. DON'T DENY IT IN YOUR MIND. WHILE YOUR WAITING FOR GOD TO HELP YOU COMBAT IT DO NOT I'M YELLINH YOU DO NOT GIVE INTO IT! IM USING CAPS BUT THIS IS WITH LOVE FOR YOU AND HOPE THAT YOU'LL GET THROUGH IT. SEXUAL SIN IS TERRIBLE YOU ARE FOING IT TO YOURSELF.
Hi Renata Joseph, so glad you are enjoying the videos, I'll see what I can do about that, here's something that may be helpful applygodsword.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-forgiveness-and-reconciliation/
Renata I have gone through that myself in my late 20s. I loved him and had empathy for him because he was bipolar and a survivor of horrific child abuse. If I knew then what I know now I would have walked away. When you are so entangled with an addict you become sick as well. If you haven't already you will wind up enabling the behavior and in the end will be broken spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially. He kept saying he wanted to get sober so I would spend a lot of time searching for treatment facilities that took Medicaid and dual diagnosis patients. I would be late for work at times, have to leave work early because of one of his shenanigans, or deal with a barrage of texts and phone calls demanding money. The constant chaos is so stressful. I hate to be the bearer of bad news because if you love hard like me it's so hard to hear. Do what is right for you!! Love yourself and get into a program/meeting/group for family members of addicts. Learn all you can about the disease. There is a deep SPIRITUAL issue rooted in selfishness that leads to addiction. You probably are extremely loving, empathetic and loyal. Those traits are being exploited. Be your own best friend and move on.
I have a small habit to meth ice but I think I'm getting over the addiction. Also every time I used I would watch porn and I feel guilty after. I have no sex drive, no sex life with my beautiful wife as a direct result of being on anti depressants and suboxone.
That's way beyond my skill level, you will need to talk w your doctor. Just be honest with your doctor and they will assess your needs and let you know if they think you need medication, counseling, both, or none.
Depression can be fought with God's Word. David also struggled with this, and God helped him. I know it can be hard, but you need to pray and to trust Him
Sorry for the blast, my issue is with your recommendation for anxiety meds and bipolar disorders. Freud and Bible don’t mix. If your hand causes you to sin...cut it off.
Gibbon Are you sure about that? It’s certainly not better to go on sinning. Christ condemned those whose religion was external only but denied the true power of God. Western medicine and psychiatric means are satanic in nature. Sometimes pain and suffering are required to cleanse the soul. Look at all the biblical examples of this. Prosperity gospel is dead.
texas honey Too many people use this as an excuse to seek pharmacology before God. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God. The ways of a man seem right into him but they only lead to destruction. Pharmacology was birthed from sorcery and l black magic. Why would any Christian turn to this?
sir I agree that depression etc can attract sexual sin but the thing is having a desire for sex is normal god created us this way and because of this we become tempted to masturebate or commit fornication we just have to pray and fast and believe that god will help us to resist temptation but very good advice thou god bless
Medication is the answer???? Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the light, no man comes to the Father, but by me. Psychobabble video. The work of the Spirit is greater than all of this nonsense.
Hamilton Rowan and masturbation? That’s a sin you know. I don’t think he’s talking about sex between two partners. I think he’s talking about isolated sexual sin.
Get up 2 hours earlier, pray and read the Bible before you start the day. Get the Word in your mind before Satan gets hold.
Yes!&Amen!i do!
NICE!
A lot of it is due to separation anxiety, we crave a connection with someone but it’s actually a desire to be with God, with the source of love. That’s just my opinion.
I think you're right
I agree!
I feels that.
👏🏾
I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 100%
“When you get into God’s presence by grace, He will cause you to do good. “
Yes...
Amen too that ain't that the truth ✝❤💪
You the man Austin.
How do you do that?
You're absolutely right about the relationship between sexual sin and mental health issues.
It's something I think the church knows very little about. God can work through many mental health practices to help people overcome sin...
Yes, he was right on point.
Yes Jesus is the way, truth and life... focus on him to change ur mind, heart then ur life..Jesus paid for all our sins on the cross. We need to believe and Trust him, his word/promises.
Amen Debra Calhoun!
Focusing on God more,not my sins...great advice
You're actually so right. Sexual sin is rooted in depression but the fact that you fell into it makes you even more depressed
So true
• Look at your mental or emotional health
• Change your environment
• Focus on God more, not on your sin
Thank you for this
Just fast and pray! Trust Jesus. Stop watching rated R movies, read your Bible. If you love God, obey His commandments
Amen Jordai! This may be a subject of taboo for some people, but there are men & women, both young and old, married and single, who are struggling mightily in the area of sexual purity. The Bible tells us that we should not be ignorant of the enemy's devices.

How many commandments should we keep of God/Jesus?
OWNKIND just the very important two but try are best to keep all of them
Which ones are the "important" ones? (Or are all 10 important)?
OWNKIND all ten are important but the most important are the two love God with all your heart and love your neighbor like you love yourself
Thank you, brother, for reminding me that Jesus already paid for my sis and I have been struggling with sexual sin and I get embarrassed and shameful to face God again afterwards knowing I am not worthy and this helps knowing I can still come to God even though I am a sinner because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for these videos! They are SUCH great reminders! Focus on God, not your sin. Love this!
#GodIsTheEndGoal
Amen! God is the end goal!
The third one is actually true. I realize that when i think of my sins i sin more
Same here brother, I’m fasting from Pleasing my flesh for 40 Days, (Not including eating). And not Sinning🙏🏼I know my Lord and Savior makes me Strong and helps me along the Way✝️Lets have faith in the Lord Brother 🙌🏻
Yes. I'm a Christian female and struggles with sexual sin is still taboo amongst us.

I think sexual sins has disconnected people from God. We need to keep helping people in that predicament. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you so much Mark for these tips. I’ve been struggling & this has helped shed some light. Looking forward to the ebook!!
I agree with your mental state as being a cause for continually struggling, but I don’t think medicine would be necessarily be the answer, the Bible gives us instruction on how to handle our minds.

Sad to say my friend nudity and sexuality is everywhere we are surrounded by it , the trigger is everywhere :prayer , fasting , cold showers and prayers prayers psalm 51 ❤
I am between churches, see too much sexual sin. I got fed up and took matters in my own hands and started a new church on RUclips.
To be honest I struggle with porn but no matter what I kept on repenting and I used to fall in given to temptation I repent and told God to help escape from it so everytime I got tempt for now on I would pray to God I would just keep doing that but I'm asking god for a girlfriend he will give me to help me overcome and be helpful with me and lord one of these days
Yes Glorifying GOD is the goal also it is to obey GOD's commandments.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man
These tips can also apply to other sins. Thank you!
I always thought too myself my environment probably plays a factor
On point video. Agree!!!!

I've never been "in the presence of God". afaic, he's a non-entity. So I can't even start.
How do you handle people trying to seduce you? What makes it worst is that it's people from the church...smh..makes it harder for me to change
I’m so deep in sexual sin that I don’t even try to be a Christian anymore and I’m so mad at my self for being so worthless to God
Well I think he just wants you to know that he loves you just as much as before. When I struggle with this and fall I remember that he forgives me and loves me and because he forgives me, I can forgive myself. I just keep trying. He knows I'm trying and he understands.

Hi Mark i really enjoy your videos. Can you make a video and talk about how to cope with dating or being in a relationship with a drug addict?
Hi Renata Joseph, so glad you are enjoying the videos, I'll see what I can do about that, here's something that may be helpful applygodsword.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-forgiveness-and-reconciliation/
Thanks very appreciative. God bless you
Renata I have gone through that myself in my late 20s. I loved him and had empathy for him because he was bipolar and a survivor of horrific child abuse. If I knew then what I know now I would have walked away. When you are so entangled with an addict you become sick as well. If you haven't already you will wind up enabling the behavior and in the end will be broken spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially. He kept saying he wanted to get sober so I would spend a lot of time searching for treatment facilities that took Medicaid and dual diagnosis patients. I would be late for work at times, have to leave work early because of one of his shenanigans, or deal with a barrage of texts and phone calls demanding money. The constant chaos is so stressful. I hate to be the bearer of bad news because if you love hard like me it's so hard to hear. Do what is right for you!! Love yourself and get into a program/meeting/group for family members of addicts. Learn all you can about the disease. There is a deep SPIRITUAL issue rooted in selfishness that leads to addiction. You probably are extremely loving, empathetic and loyal. Those traits are being exploited. Be your own best friend and move on.
I have a small habit to meth ice but I think I'm getting over the addiction. Also every time I used I would watch porn and I feel guilty after. I have no sex drive, no sex life with my beautiful wife as a direct result of being on anti depressants and suboxone.
Is the name Mark Mapagas or Ballenger?
Sin? Are Christians still under the law?
jvolstad under Jesus' law "go and sin no more"
what kind of natural antidepressants do you recommend.
That's way beyond my skill level, you will need to talk w your doctor. Just be honest with your doctor and they will assess your needs and let you know if they think you need medication, counseling, both, or none.
Depression can be fought with God's Word. David also struggled with this, and God helped him. I know it can be hard, but you need to pray and to trust Him
What if it place is at church. And u feeling as home
You have intrinsically spooky hair, sir
I'm just glad its not extrinsically spooky
Sorry for the blast, my issue is with your recommendation for anxiety meds and bipolar disorders. Freud and Bible don’t mix.
If your hand causes you to sin...cut it off.

Are you sure about that? It’s certainly not better to go on sinning. Christ condemned those whose religion was external only but denied the true power of God. Western medicine and psychiatric means are satanic in nature. Sometimes pain and suffering are required to cleanse the soul. Look at all the biblical examples of this. Prosperity gospel is dead.
I don't think God frowns on science when it helps people cope with potentially crippling issues.

Too many people use this as an excuse to seek pharmacology before God.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.
The ways of a man seem right into him but they only lead to destruction.
Pharmacology was birthed from sorcery and l black magic. Why would any Christian turn to this?
sir I agree that depression etc can attract sexual sin but the thing is having a desire for sex is normal god created us this way and because of this we become tempted to masturebate or commit fornication we just have to pray and fast and believe that god will help us to resist temptation but very good advice thou god bless
I forgot I had a mental illness.
It was so funny
So, you serve the MD Idol???
Hi I apologize for cussing at you and having sexual thoughts about you and ask for forgiveness
I never went to a strip clubs
Medication is the answer???? Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the light, no man comes to the Father, but by me. Psychobabble video. The work of the Spirit is greater than all of this nonsense.
There is an example of using medication in the Bible
A real easy way to avoid sexual sin - don't date!
Hamilton Rowan and masturbation? That’s a sin you know.
I don’t think he’s talking about sex between two partners. I think he’s talking about isolated sexual sin.
