Here's a little trick I learned whenever temptation starts to rise. Close your eyes. Picture yourself when you were at your most innocent. You can be 11 or 8 or 3-5. Heck, even as a new born in a crib. Me personally, I always picture myself as a toddler when I do this method. Then, picture Jesus playing and laughing with this tiny, version of you, in a warm sunny afternoon, in your backyard. He then lifts you up to the sky, and smiles at you with all the love and warmth a father has for his child. He then brings you in close, and cradles you in his arms. And as you curl up against his chest. He gently, tells you: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you. No power in the sky above or earth below, will ever separate my love for you, my child." He then brings you back inside the house, carrying you to rest. And it doesn't have to be this scenario, specifically. You two can just be walking, camping, fishing, doing your favorite hobbies. any scenario you want. But it always ends with his message and you being cradled away in his arms. You can picture yourself as an adult, but I always find it most effective when we see ourselves the way God sees us: As little children. Just stay in his arms for as long as you need. And I always find the urges simply fade away. Same situation in repentance. Whenever you slip up. When you walk back to him confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness, picture yourself at your smallest and most vulnerable age. A small child, walking back home after running away; Clothes torn, covered head to toe, in dirt and mud. But like the father in the prodigal son. He'll always be happy to welcome you home: He'll clean you, dress you, feed you, and bandage your scars. And assures you once again "I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. No power in the sky above or earth below, will ever separate my love for you, my child." Hope this helps and God bless.
You are not alone. I am also addicted to the images on the internet in my Christian life. I am currently trying to stop being addicted with god's help. 😌
We understand what he says, God does too. Capitalization doesnt matter, faith and belief matters. We shouldnt be brought away from God with mistaken typing@@haribuset382
this is a tip that might help, know ur weaknesses, dont even put ur self in a situation where you have to fight temptation and resist, as soon as a thought comes up or u see something, just run away from it, dont put ur self in a situation where you have to fight, and yes i know you can only be freed by jesus, but you shouldnt put urself in that situation, hopefully i explained this properly and it helps someone
Amen, and Hallelujah to that, Praised be to Almighty God ⭐️🙌🏾. Do you guys know who Almighty God is ? He is The Return Lord Jesus. If you want to know more than let me know.
I gave my life to Christ when i was around 7 or 8 years old. I began a sinful addiction to bad, lustful images when I was 12 years old. I am 37 now, married, and still struggle with this addiction. And I feel like I am stuck in the "binge purge" cycle. So no, no one is alone in this struggle. Your video gave me hope and encouragement that I, too, can overcome this addiction and return to Christ in full faith and conviction. Please pray for me that God may give me the strength to quit once and for all and live for Hum in the fullest.
Don’t forget pride, whether we realize it or not we all suffer from pride. My list of sins is pride, lust, lazy, envy, fear and so much more. Thank God he saves us by Grace, God is Good.
A youth pastor once told me " We often get so warped in our own minds that we forget how loving and forgiving Jesus is. That often prevents us from coming to Him. But He's always been there, He always will be. Even as we sin, and even as we stray, He still loves us all the same. If we remember anything, let it be the eternal love the Father has for us." God bless all of you. Remember Jesus's love will persevere above anything this world throws at you. (Romans 8:38-39)
I think about my dog. He used to always knock over the trash can and make a mess when he was angry or scared, and never seemed to learn to not do that no matter how many times we scolded him, but we never let that change our love for him. He was still a good dog.
A couple verses come to mind; 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Lamentations 3:22-23. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." and... "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
I'm a young Christian. I don't really commit any sins besides lust, evedy time I sin, my heart feels heavy and I feel sad. I don't want to sin but my body tells me that I should, I want him to help me😔🙏🏾
Like all the other comments , Ill say the same thing. You and me both are doing WAY more sins than we even realize. I mean think about it, Christ raised human ethics to the highest extent. Much love brother and best of luck. Keep focusing on growing in Christ. Praise King Yeshua Forever 😃👑✝❤
I have decided to overcome the temptation of lust, I am now on my 7th day of no porn, no masturbation, no daydreaming of having sex, still working on avoiding staring at women's body by simply saying "no" and changing the direction I'm looking. The recent days have been so hard, temptation just won't leave me, so I ask of you brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for me. Pray that I never return to my old habits, please pray that I'll never turn back and continue in my aim of overcoming the hardest temptation that I have been struggling for 14 years already until I decided to turn my back on it on October 2, 2024. I no longer want to live in the flesh, this time I pray that my spirit will take over for the rest of my life.
@@appleheaddefender exactly ,however when one realise that all women are built the same the stupidity of porn ,etc looses its sheen - men are mostly oversized kids and unfortunatly never coached properly in those matters by their fathers.sex only satisfies really with the one you love,simple.
Amen brother. I have been struggling with lust too. Let us be strong and I commend ur efforts cuz I know how hard it is to resist lust. I shall join u in ur endeavour too.
I broke my porn addiction two years ago, but I unfortunately still masturbate with impure thoughts every day. I’m also trying to stop looking at women’s bodies as well.
Im really desperate rn to erase this cycle of sin of lust in my life. I really really wanna remove this sin in my life.. its a struggle but atleast Im still fighting. I may be weak now but Ill never stop following Christ. Please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏😔 I really need one rn.
Its the people who ACTUALLY got saved through believing the Gospel with all their heart (not doing, believing) What is the Gospel of Salvation? 🤔 Before knowing it, you have to accept the bad news: ⚠️ ONE ONLY SIN ALREADY CONDEMNED US AND DESTITUTED US FROM THE GLORY OF GOD ⛔️ (Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death 💀; Ezekiel 18:4 the soul that sinneth, it shall die ⚰️; James 2:10 whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all 🤦♂️). God wants you to understand your condition because of your sinful nature 🤕. THAT IS REPENTANCE ➡️ (a change of mind). But God did something wonderful through his Son to save us all from hell 🌈. THE GOSPEL IS: CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS! ✞️ THE GOSPEL is in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: "Christ died for our sins, He was buried and rose the third day according to the Scriptures" 📖. CHRIST SUBSTITUTED OUR SINS ON THE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT THAT WE DESERVED: HIS SOUL FOR OUR SOUL ❤️. To be saved, you must have FAITH THAT CHRIST ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR SINS 🙏 and therefore you have eternal life 🔝. To be saved, you must be CERTAIN (Hebrews 11:1) that Christ already saved you because that is what God has promised in his Word and He doesn't lie 🙏. In Ephesians 2:8-9 apostle Paul says: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" 🎁. If you say: "Christ paid for my sins BUT I have to do the works, or give my life to Christ or any other thing to be saved", you have not believed with faith that Jesus already saved you and you think you can add something to your salvation 🤦♂️. Works matter AFTER salvation, not in order to be saved, but because we are already children of God for discipline (Hebrews 12:7-8) and rewards (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Cor 15:58) ONLY IF WE HAVE BELIEVED WITH FAITH 💪.
It's very important to remember that "trying to do better" will fail. We can't do better with a sin nature constantly pulling us back. So instead, put your effort into loving Jesus and relating to Him. The more Jesus there is in your life, the less of your selfish self there is, and the more He will fight those temptations for you. If you love Him, you will keep His teachings. This is automatic.
@@89playstation65 No not even a little bit. That is a satanic fucking movie dude. Well its actually Gnostic but that's spittin hairs, its all heresy my man. That is a cartoon that is influenced by the enemy, the message is empty and it only shows the young audience that they are helpless to forces beyond their control or perception. The truth is nothing like either of those hideous films. Though, Anxiety is a good case for how to write an antagonist that means well but is still the antagonist.
That sounds too good to be true but it legit is. The closer you draw to Jesus, the more gets fixed. It's useless trying to fix stuff on your own. Focus on God, and the fixes will come along as you walk with Him. Pretty cool.
Trying to be a better person as a whole includes you being a better christian. Idk, As long as you strive to be a better person overall and you put your faith into Jesus as well, your life will grow even better, So do both folks, Follow Jesus, And Become better with his help, we can't be perfect, but we can always be better with the help of our savior 💯
@TGDyro What you are saying is true. My original point is meant for people who have grown up in church being told, "You just need to try harder to be good, and God will help you." That gets depressing after a while because it doesn't work for some people. The only way many people will gain the motivation to continue striving for holiness is by falling in love with Jesus. Once that happens, they are internally motivated by Jesus to improve their lives.
This is the type of Christian content that needs to be shown more. Cause this actually kept me from leaving and finding another video. Most videos have great messages but not great attention getter’s. And that’s important when trying to make a point or share a message. From the moment I opened this video, I was hooked. So good job keep it up
Man I was going (and still am) going through a really tuff time. I was (and sadly still am) kindoff giving up on my walk, so I sneaked my laptop in my room and wanted to watch youtube, even tho I knew it was wrong. When I opened youtube to watch videos, THIS VIDEO MIRACLY SPAWNED IN ON MY SCREEN, AND IT HELPED ME SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for having the courage to be honest about your past. I can already see that I’m not the only one to say I was, and still am addicted to sinful imagery. I tried fighting it on my own for years, only after turning back to God and my faith, as I have not felt like I am a good Christian, a man worthy of God’s love, for a long time, have I started making any progress. It is people like you that give people like me hope, so once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
These videos always help me get on track! The video game is so cute and it makes a lot of sense. Uninstalling social media is one key point I am taking away from this video
This is nuts! I’ve been sinning in this area since my teens, and I’m now in my late 20s… About 5 months ago a girl I knew for a while said she liked me. I told her I wasn’t ready to date yet because of my sin, which she agreed but said she’d wait till I overcame. Long story short, I was basically passive, and didn’t really do much to improve my situation. I was kinda unsure whether or not I should pursue her or not though, so I asked God what I should do, and gave the situation to Him. Recently, she told me she found someone else. I’m currently still dealing with disappointment, however, because of Jesus, I’m realizing he’s using this disappointment to draw me closer to Himself. I just last night heard a song that transported me back to when all I would listen to was songs for the Lord. (I had drifted away to only secular music for years) I’ve been digging those songs back up and listening to them as they brought me to tears, remembering His Goodness in my life. Now I just watched this video lol!
If you add a prerequisite of being sad to repentance you are going to hold back a lot if people from coming to/returning to Christ. In my case I wasn’t really sad I knew that I was wrong and that Jesus was right and chose to follow him (Acts 16:31)
Me too! And I learn and absorb things better with visual content. Plus I love video games. Then combine that with spiritual growth! I'm all in ^_^ There is nothing better than teaching that brings us closer to Our Lord Jesus.
Your video came to me at the perfect time. The Lord put it there. I was about to fall back into my old patters and saw that your video pop up. Thank you for the amazing content that is saving many. God bless you Jonathan.
Thanks. I think this video was a sign from God. It has great analogies. I also listen to Church hymns to help me find peace with Christ. I was ashamed of repenting to God because I had relapsed on a certain addiction involving images again, after countless times. God is all forgiving and He doesn't want me to be afraid to seek refuge, guidance, and forgiveness from Him. God bless, this channel is one of my most favourite Christian channels. This video was everything I needed to hear.
*God is using you to speak to me, and more than me, I’m sure of it. The clarity of your teaching is a blessing of the Good News. Keep going brother!!!* And If I may make a request, it would benefit me and others I’m sure, if you would be willing to think of a way to explain the Biblical “letting go and letting God” thing, in your own way. It’s so hard to stop trying to use your own willpower for justification and sanctification. Blessings on your sister and anyone else helping you as well. Your brother in Christ, Shawn
I'm a very very huge gamer myself and I literally really understand everything you say and animate my guy, and its not embarrassing to share your sins or anything with us because you showed strength that you opened up and you did inspire and you've proved me right that video games and movies and shows and books secretly teach life lessons if you just pay attention close enough and I also say if you can't teach others in a realistic and reality way, then why not explain it in a fun and creative way💡🎮 Keep up the gaming demonstrations of the bible my guy because all this is so super amazing 🎮👾
I started my addiction at the age of 10, during pandemic. My confinement gave me boredom and so curiosity arose. Out of nowhere, I don't even remember why, I decided to search questions about it, then slowly images, then videos, and I didn't notice, but I was addicted. It was 4 years since I started lusting and I failed just last night again. I have been way more rude to my brother, my friends, and had low self-esteem for myself. Every night, I feel the accuser telling me I was never worthy of Jesus' sacrifice. He started telling me that all of my friend's prayers were worth nothing if I didn't put effort. And I forgot my identity. I forgot that I was already in Christ. I feel guilty going to church and taking notes because I told myself that I wouldn't use it anyway. I always failed. I gave up, but I know didn't. I gave up trying to use my strength to stand up, but He gave me His. He's always giving me signs and tips and warnings to let go because I am already His and no longer of the world. He reminds me that I am a citizen if His kingdom and that I am clean. I am forgiven. I can't do this by myself, but He's there for me. I pray that I will finally let go of the past. I can do it because God did. (I will type my progress here in this comment.)
Im in that situation right now. Its been a month or two now that i almost never prayed or even opend my bible. I wanna go back to the days where i was spending time with jesus and dont have sinful thoughts. I curse, judge, gossip and more and i hate it. I know that i just wanna be likw " everyone else" but i also dont want that. I dont know whats wrong with me!!! I used to get dreams where god warns me, or tells me to not be afraid, everytime i prayed. Examle, i had a dream that someone in my family killed my cat, 1 week later, my cat dissapeard, and someone actually told me taht person was planning that. Or when i was afraid of something, God told me these words: "Dont be afraid. Trust God". Now that i stopped praying, i dont get thouse dreams anymore. Im gonna change that. This video gave me hope. Months ago i was praying for my family to repend, now they are better then me. I have fallen behind. Please pray for me. I dont wanna keep doing this. God loves you❤
These videos explain the truth and joy of the gospel so well and I know will help so many Christians who fear salvation can be lost. Your videos have helped me a lot, and I wanted to leave a comment to let you know these videos are invaluable and this is such a needed ministry. Thank you for taking the time to make such accessible and easy to understand teachings. God bless.
MAN does this hit HARD! We are ALL after the "Gold Coins" (wealth, status, power) and when we DO accumulate them, we STILL feel EMPTY! "Take up my yoke, for my burden is light" God Bless you ALL!
Thank you God for everything I have. Very good videos full of good lessons. God bless you all. I love God. I have faith in God. I trust God. Amen. ✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊
I needed this. I just came back from almost 2 years of backsliding. God kept on calling out my name to return to Him but I was too ashamed and tired to go back. He never left me though I momentarily went back to my old life --- and it was even worse! Idk why I ever backslided. Thank you. Praise God for your life and how you use RUclips as your platform in sharing more of God's faithfulness.
I struggled too with this Until anytime I was tempted I just started singing worship music in my mind. Then it would just go away and I just feel joy. Worship is not only one of our purposes but worship can be a weapon! Going on 6 months now. Just like we are to pray without ceasing, fill your mind up with worshiping him. With him All Is possible.
Love you brother! We need more people who understand the gospel. God bless you! How do I know I'm saved? Jesus said He'd save me if I trusted Him. I believe Him. So I know I'm saved. 😊 Love you brother! Keep laboring! You are a mighty warrior in His kingdom! Be encouraged! Come on man of God! 1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV [13] Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. "Quit you like men" is an old phrase that means "behave like a man". The Bible says "act like a man, be strong". 💪 God bless you brothers!
I myself have tried to get for myself everything that others have gotten, but somehow I couldn't. Then I fell into an addiction that kept me there for several years. When I saw Jesus, I understood that the environment is one big reason for my problems. A rose doesn't grow in soil that doesn't have nutrients, and iron doesn't stay strong if it's in water for a long time. A rose dies if it doesn't get enough nutrients and iron rusts away if it stays in water. So I immediately understood that I have to move to another place if I want to change. The move is still ahead and I would like you to pray for me that after the move I would be better able to focus on Jesus Christ. Stay strong🙏❤️
That is a hard thing to admit to, brother, and I am right there with you. It’s a hard and honestly embarrassing fight, but praise the Lord that in his mercy and love, he does not leave us, and continues to be good, even as we fail. Let us run the race together, freed from the burden of lies that we’ve fallen for time and time again. In Him there is victory!
I love this video. The video game analogy is so perfect. And this applies to any sin. I think the devil likes to keep us in shame. I hear “you’re a hypocrite” over and over I think for so long that has kept me in shame from ever moving forward and growing into maturity again because I felt like I would never be “good enough” or “worthy of” sharing the kingdom because of how badly I’ve messed up. But what I found was that I don’t have to be good enough because Jesus is what I do need to do is learn to follow Jesus consistently through releasing my shame to Him and walking in spiritual freedom. While people in the world condemn me, Jesus empowers me to rise above those standards to His standard. I want to live that out now even if just one day at a time. I know I won’t be perfect but He can help me return to Him fully.
I'm finally understanding some things that I never knew about God. I struggle with many things you cover and this video hits close to home, thanks for spreading the word and making videos other Christians can relate to. Thank you for breaking down all these things and recreating them so that even us kids can understand.
This was me but im free thank Jesus✝.. i believe this in Jesus name that all of that is gone and will never come back again.. Everyone focus on Jesus he's the way✝❤
I have been constantly foghting my addiction, I didnt take any help from God, but after I got rid of the addiction, God gave me grace, I feel the presence, I met her, I hope she will be my wife, she is perfect, for me, if this is Gods plan I can't strave from the road. Thank you
Even though I don’t see my journey with Christ as a game, explaining it this way has truly enlightened me on what it really means to repent(bc I wasn’t sure). You earned a new sub. Thank you, and God bless you ❤🕊️🙏🏽
My friend, you described me perfectly. Thank you for this video, which came out on my 18th birthday, and just one day before God had already touched me when my heart was so hardened that I seriously thought I had no forgiveness, and I had blasphemed against His Holy Spirit with a short video of R3alism and I was able to repent of my sin, thank God! Please pray for me, so that God allows my heart to be soft toward His word and not only honor Him with our lips but with our hearts. I see this video as another sign, thank you for sharing your testimony and sharing those passages of Revelation that I had not heard/read before, thank you very much brother. God bless you and yours. 🤍🙏🏻🫂
@@ChristianKnight-1054 Correct, it’s really grace. Faith is just the empty hand that reaches out to grab it. However it’s not technically wrong to say “faith saves.” It’s like saying “baptism saves.” We can say that because they both play a part in how someone is saved.
I love your game analogies so much, and how they make me think about Jesus in different ways. :D Thank you and bless you so much; I hope you continue to succeed and flourish! Also, I still struggle with the looking back at what I'd done. It takes me time to forgive myself too, but I'll keep on while I'm alive so I can be closer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I now love this channel. Saw this unique perspective on overcoming sin as a video game for a reason, I am currently struggling with one deadly sin that has always had a hold on me, and (because I am a gamer) this video resonates with me. God works in mysterious ways! Edit* That's profound. I am a hypocrite if I don't follow Jesus again, because under the mask I realize I am a child of God through my faith in Jesus Christ. Many people believe they are a hypocrite if they follow Jesus and continue to sin...but really, it's the other way around! Just because you STRUGGLE with sin, doesn't mean you are not a child of God and don't believe in Jesus (lost salvation etc.) it just means you NEED Jesus, and that need is continual, because, perfect or not, child of God or not, follower of Jesus or not, we all sin, we all fall short of the glory of God. It takes a heart of genuine repentance and continual prayer to overcome even the greatest sin. Yet, I still am a child of God. Even though I still sin on a daily basis, I realize my need for Jesus daily, my need for Gods grace and mercy daily, and I am (slowly but surely) overcoming this sin that has weighed down on me!
I like this remembrance of confirmation. Thanks bro. I literally read this verse not so long ago and it spoke to me. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Stay out of the world. Renew your mind and change your thinking. God bless.
Thank you for not being afraid to talk about this. Taboo subject for Christians, but it just makes those who struggle with it feel more alienated like "man if this is too nuh uh to even TALK about, I def can't go to anyone else for help, better just struggle on in silence and hope for the best haha 😢"
The biggest struggle for me trying to take this advice is that I can't remember the time before because, well, I literally can't remember. There was no time before. I'm 21, and trying to escape a lustful addiction that has, to my best guess, been going on for 16 years. I have no memory of how or when it started simply because I was too young to remember. It's a complicated story but to cut very short, it didn't start with any images. It only started with an innocent child accidentally discovering the act of self-pleasure, and the one thing about the origin I do remember clearly is that when my parents scolded me about it, I didn't listen because I didn't know enough to understand why I should. In a five year old's logic, it feels good, it's not like I'm being mean or hurting anyone. What's the big deal? The looking at images only came about once puberty came around and changed a few things. So for me, there was no time before. This has been my life. There was no memory of a relationship with God beforehand because although raised Christian, I always just went along with it as a kid because I was told to, not out of any real understanding of it. Luckily, my very rational and facts-and-reasoning based mind has brought me down my own true path to God, but now 16 years later, that path has been always paved in the shadow of this lifelong sin, and with it has constantly come that feeling that I have only ever been attempting to reach God as a hypocrite since there was no relationship or even any life before this "Great Sin" of mine.
Yea I'm kinda the same situation. Although a bit later, it's a real tough grind to stop. I know that one thing I can do is actually join a church and repent to a spirutual father and get a proper prayer life going. Theres many things I havn't done to improve the situation so like the creed song goes "Gabriel stands and confirms i've created my own prison". We can do this mate, we can have a new relationship with God we never had.
Im an addict.. Im currently on a fast from video games and I've broken the strong bond of p**n. Been praying to the Lord to help me stay strong. Games are now what I'm fighting with. They cause me to get angry and outburst. Currently its been about a week now since unplugging. I've been reading my Bible and gone back to doing the Men's Group Study Book we're on by Edwin Louis Cole.
Keep going brother. Stay around other Christian men like you're doing with your study group. The accountability will help immensely when you're battling addiction. God Bless.
Lust has been part my nature since I have memory. And I believe it will destroy my life when I get older. Is not only a simple sin, it has fkd up my sense of reality pretty bad. I have reached a point where I can feel the devil tempting me everyday, of course I keep falling because I feel I have time to repent later. Recently I’ve stoped praying in the nights, and also stopped praying Jesus to forgiveness. Although Jesus is in my mind 24/7, those times where I sin I feel like my mind forgets about Jesus and comes back to the real world to enjoy some time… I’m looking up for a coming up event that if God helps me it will bring my life to a 180• turn
I just wanna say thank you and thank you to God for showing me this video this helped me so much with my previous addiction to lust I have been made a child of God again due to my repentance
The early part reminds me of The Pilgrim's Progress (by John Bunyan), where the burden was loosed because of Jesus' work on the Cross, rolling down the hill into the open sepulchre, then to be found no more. There was a video game made for The Pilgrim's Progress that was very well done back in 2011.
You’re not the only one I’m too struggling to this 😢 and the worst is that I’m in a relationship with someone I in fact trust love💔 It’s worth telling that the struggles aren’t like they used to be (i have better control now) but from time to time I end up falling to it😞. I wish to to truly be free from this and continue my journey in peace. Wish the same bless to you 🙌
I love the 8-bit game way you represent this! It makes me cry just because it's cute, but it's also incredibly accurate to the Holy Word. I was like that too, the day I converted I said "Lord I will never leave you again!" And two years later I was back to vomiting. It started with me being disappointed in myself, and then turning that blame onto God. My addiction was that I was a nerd and an otaku, addicted to games, especially anime, manga and inappropriate things, I filled my life with this for many years, it gave me a sense of meaning in life, but I was completely empty inside. After I met Yeshua I saw the real purpose of all entertainment, which is to distance us from God. I realized how much I enjoyed evil. But after meeting Yeshua, and becoming disappointed in myself, I stopped praying, and stopped reading the Bible. I gradually started listening to the music I liked [K-pop, J-pop/rock], and then I started another addiction: books for young people, series, and a lot of inappropriate things in that field. I felt exactly like that, like I was in a deep hole. I didn't even know how to get back, and I didn't want to, and I didn't regret it. Despite that, I couldn't forget Jesus, and I kept feeling the need to defend His Word whenever I had the chance. I fell into the worst depression of my life, an unexplained emptiness. Disorders like bipolar disorder and borderline took over my mind to such an extent that I thought I would go crazy. But this year the Lord called me back. And I was healed of everything. Praise the Lord, His mercy is incomprehensible. P.S: Then I realized that I was not alone in this process, it represents the story of the prodigal son.
Here's a little trick I learned whenever temptation starts to rise. Close your eyes. Picture yourself when you were at your most innocent. You can be 11 or 8 or 3-5. Heck, even as a new born in a crib. Me personally, I always picture myself as a toddler when I do this method. Then, picture Jesus playing and laughing with this tiny, version of you, in a warm sunny afternoon, in your backyard. He then lifts you up to the sky, and smiles at you with all the love and warmth a father has for his child. He then brings you in close, and cradles you in his arms. And as you curl up against his chest. He gently, tells you: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you. No power in the sky above or earth below, will ever separate my love for you, my child." He then brings you back inside the house, carrying you to rest. And it doesn't have to be this scenario, specifically. You two can just be walking, camping, fishing, doing your favorite hobbies. any scenario you want. But it always ends with his message and you being cradled away in his arms. You can picture yourself as an adult, but I always find it most effective when we see ourselves the way God sees us: As little children.
Just stay in his arms for as long as you need. And I always find the urges simply fade away.
Same situation in repentance. Whenever you slip up. When you walk back to him confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness, picture yourself at your smallest and most vulnerable age. A small child, walking back home after running away; Clothes torn, covered head to toe, in dirt and mud. But like the father in the prodigal son. He'll always be happy to welcome you home: He'll clean you, dress you, feed you, and bandage your scars. And assures you once again "I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. No power in the sky above or earth below, will ever separate my love for you, my child."
Hope this helps and God bless.
God Bless you 🙏🏿 I'll try this🙌🏿🤝🏿
Thanks
Thank you, brother. God Bless you
Going to try this, thank you.
I love this. Thank you so much for commenting this.
You are not alone. I am also addicted to the images on the internet in my Christian life. I am currently trying to stop being addicted with god's help. 😌
We have to write God with a capital G, "god" represents a false god in the old testament, praying for your problems brother!
True, but the original bible aint written in english but hebrew which dont have upper case letters.@@haribuset382
We understand what he says, God does too. Capitalization doesnt matter, faith and belief matters. We shouldnt be brought away from God with mistaken typing@@haribuset382
@@haribuset382 Amen God bless you all
this is a tip that might help, know ur weaknesses, dont even put ur self in a situation where you have to fight temptation and resist, as soon as a thought comes up or u see something, just run away from it, dont put ur self in a situation where you have to fight, and yes i know you can only be freed by jesus, but you shouldnt put urself in that situation, hopefully i explained this properly and it helps someone
Lust has lead me to sloth, gluttony, and leaving God. To those suffering I am with you guys. we all can go through this to God together. amen.

I gave my life to Christ when i was around 7 or 8 years old. I began a sinful addiction to bad, lustful images when I was 12 years old. I am 37 now, married, and still struggle with this addiction. And I feel like I am stuck in the "binge purge" cycle. So no, no one is alone in this struggle. Your video gave me hope and encouragement that I, too, can overcome this addiction and return to Christ in full faith and conviction. Please pray for me that God may give me the strength to quit once and for all and live for Hum in the fullest.
I’m praying for you 🙏

1. sloth
2. gluttony
3. lust
Yo bro. I’ll pray for you! Trust in God and put in the effort!
Don’t forget pride, whether we realize it or not we all suffer from pride. My list of sins is pride, lust, lazy, envy, fear and so much more. Thank God he saves us by Grace, God is Good.

@@MatteoGiacopello Thank you. You too.
@@MrTawnos Agreed, my friend. The smallest things in life are close to unnoticable, but we’re able to find them through Christ.
A youth pastor once told me " We often get so warped in our own minds that we forget how loving and forgiving Jesus is. That often prevents us from coming to Him. But He's always been there, He always will be. Even as we sin, and even as we stray, He still loves us all the same. If we remember anything, let it be the eternal love the Father has for us."
God bless all of you. Remember Jesus's love will persevere above anything this world throws at you. (Romans 8:38-39)
Amen!❤ 🙌🏻🤍
In Jesus name Amen 🙏 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I think about my dog. He used to always knock over the trash can and make a mess when he was angry or scared, and never seemed to learn to not do that no matter how many times we scolded him, but we never let that change our love for him. He was still a good dog.
@@anth636 that's such a sweet story!! :]
A couple verses come to mind; 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Lamentations 3:22-23.
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
and...
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Not only do we believe in God, but God believes in us. We got this!
Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
I'm a young Christian. I don't really commit any sins besides lust, evedy time I sin, my heart feels heavy and I feel sad. I don't want to sin but my body tells me that I should, I want him to help me😔🙏🏾
Trust me. You do more than just lust daily without realizing. That's why you ask for forgiveness of sins known and unknown
Stop trying to fight it urself because then u will never overcome. Ask God to help u overcome
Get closer to God by reading the bible everyday
Like all the other comments , Ill say the same thing. You and me both are doing WAY more sins than we even realize. I mean think about it, Christ raised human ethics to the highest extent. Much love brother and best of luck. Keep focusing on growing in Christ. Praise King Yeshua Forever 😃👑✝❤
your first mistake is saying that you don’t commit any sins besides one.. we all sin and struggle with many of them and we sin without knowing
As a gamer, this video helped me understand Jesus alot, thank you. I needed something like this. Amen
Gamers really seem to have it the hardest, dont they? Thats what Ive observed from experience.
I have decided to overcome the temptation of lust, I am now on my 7th day of no porn, no masturbation, no daydreaming of having sex, still working on avoiding staring at women's body by simply saying "no" and changing the direction I'm looking.
The recent days have been so hard, temptation just won't leave me, so I ask of you brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for me. Pray that I never return to my old habits, please pray that I'll never turn back and continue in my aim of overcoming the hardest temptation that I have been struggling for 14 years already until I decided to turn my back on it on October 2, 2024.
I no longer want to live in the flesh, this time I pray that my spirit will take over for the rest of my life.
Men☕️
@@appleheaddefender exactly ,however when one realise that all women are built the same the stupidity of porn ,etc looses its sheen - men are mostly oversized kids and unfortunatly never coached properly in those matters by their fathers.sex only satisfies really with the one you love,simple.
Amen brother.
I have been struggling with lust too.
Let us be strong and I commend ur efforts cuz I know how hard it is to resist lust.
I shall join u in ur endeavour too.
I broke my porn addiction two years ago, but I unfortunately still masturbate with impure thoughts every day. I’m also trying to stop looking at women’s bodies as well.

Im really desperate rn to erase this cycle of sin of lust in my life. I really really wanna remove this sin in my life.. its a struggle but atleast Im still fighting. I may be weak now but Ill never stop following Christ. Please pray for me brothers and sisters 🙏😔 I really need one rn.
Hey, man. I understand how it feels. I've been addicted for 3 years, and I have felt the struggle of escaping. I'm praying for you.
I failed just an hour ago. Remember that the Lord is with you, and your brothers are also. Only together with the Lord can we win.

And if youre already out of this cycle, praise the Lord for he is always good. Amen.
Church isn't a building guys, it's the people who are also following Christ, and those people aren't always found in a church building.
Its the people who ACTUALLY got saved through believing the Gospel with all their heart (not doing, believing)
What is the Gospel of Salvation? 🤔
Before knowing it, you have to accept the bad news: ⚠️ ONE ONLY SIN ALREADY CONDEMNED US AND DESTITUTED US FROM THE GLORY OF GOD ⛔️ (Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death 💀; Ezekiel 18:4 the soul that sinneth, it shall die ⚰️; James 2:10 whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all 🤦♂️).
God wants you to understand your condition because of your sinful nature 🤕. THAT IS REPENTANCE ➡️ (a change of mind).
But God did something wonderful through his Son to save us all from hell 🌈. THE GOSPEL IS: CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS! ✞️
THE GOSPEL is in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: "Christ died for our sins, He was buried and rose the third day according to the Scriptures" 📖.
CHRIST SUBSTITUTED OUR SINS ON THE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT THAT WE DESERVED: HIS SOUL FOR OUR SOUL ❤️.
To be saved, you must have FAITH THAT CHRIST ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR SINS 🙏 and therefore you have eternal life 🔝.
To be saved, you must be CERTAIN (Hebrews 11:1) that Christ already saved you because that is what God has promised in his Word and He doesn't lie 🙏.
In Ephesians 2:8-9 apostle Paul says: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" 🎁.
If you say: "Christ paid for my sins BUT I have to do the works, or give my life to Christ or any other thing to be saved", you have not believed with faith that Jesus already saved you and you think you can add something to your salvation 🤦♂️.
Works matter AFTER salvation, not in order to be saved, but because we are already children of God for discipline (Hebrews 12:7-8) and rewards (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Cor 15:58) ONLY IF WE HAVE BELIEVED WITH FAITH 💪.
@@mauriciomorales9480 thanks for letttkng me know that Amen❤
@@mauriciomorales9480this is the true gospel 👍🏾
Very good.
It is still necessary to go to Church. That's one of the 10 commandments to keep the Sabbath.
It's very important to remember that "trying to do better" will fail. We can't do better with a sin nature constantly pulling us back. So instead, put your effort into loving Jesus and relating to Him. The more Jesus there is in your life, the less of your selfish self there is, and the more He will fight those temptations for you. If you love Him, you will keep His teachings. This is automatic.
So a bit like Jesus at the controls like the movie Inside Out?
@@89playstation65 No not even a little bit. That is a satanic fucking movie dude. Well its actually Gnostic but that's spittin hairs, its all heresy my man. That is a cartoon that is influenced by the enemy, the message is empty and it only shows the young audience that they are helpless to forces beyond their control or perception.
The truth is nothing like either of those hideous films. Though, Anxiety is a good case for how to write an antagonist that means well but is still the antagonist.
That sounds too good to be true but it legit is. The closer you draw to Jesus, the more gets fixed. It's useless trying to fix stuff on your own. Focus on God, and the fixes will come along as you walk with Him. Pretty cool.
Trying to be a better person as a whole includes you being a better christian.
Idk, As long as you strive to be a better person overall and you put your faith into Jesus as well, your life will grow even better, So do both folks, Follow Jesus, And Become better with his help, we can't be perfect, but we can always be better with the help of our savior 💯
@TGDyro What you are saying is true. My original point is meant for people who have grown up in church being told, "You just need to try harder to be good, and God will help you." That gets depressing after a while because it doesn't work for some people. The only way many people will gain the motivation to continue striving for holiness is by falling in love with Jesus. Once that happens, they are internally motivated by Jesus to improve their lives.
This is the type of Christian content that needs to be shown more. Cause this actually kept me from leaving and finding another video. Most videos have great messages but not great attention getter’s. And that’s important when trying to make a point or share a message. From the moment I opened this video, I was hooked. So good job keep it up
Man I was going (and still am) going through a really tuff time. I was (and sadly still am) kindoff giving up on my walk, so I sneaked my laptop in my room and wanted to watch youtube, even tho I knew it was wrong. When I opened youtube to watch videos, THIS VIDEO MIRACLY SPAWNED IN ON MY SCREEN, AND IT HELPED ME SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for sharing! Pursue Jesus and don’t look back!
May I recommend watching a movie called the pilgrim's progress, the animated one not the live action, it really helped me.

Thank you for having the courage to be honest about your past. I can already see that I’m not the only one to say I was, and still am addicted to sinful imagery. I tried fighting it on my own for years, only after turning back to God and my faith, as I have not felt like I am a good Christian, a man worthy of God’s love, for a long time, have I started making any progress.
It is people like you that give people like me hope, so once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
See if Unchained Leaders is right for you. I saw an ad for it on YT recently....
What is sinful imagery? Give me examples.
@@ChristianKnight-1054 Would saying it was imagery related to lust help explain?
@@fntsyking65 Yes that's enough. I hope God will help you.
Thank You So Much Ear To Hear For Teaching Us About Jesus
It’s my pleasure!
These videos always help me get on track! The video game is so cute and it makes a lot of sense. Uninstalling social media is one key point I am taking away from this video
Praise the Lord!
Truly, the third step is the hardest. Yet, to overcome it, is the most calming time of all time
Glad to see this on my recommendations.
This is nuts! I’ve been sinning in this area since my teens, and I’m now in my late 20s… About 5 months ago a girl I knew for a while said she liked me. I told her I wasn’t ready to date yet because of my sin, which she agreed but said she’d wait till I overcame. Long story short, I was basically passive, and didn’t really do much to improve my situation. I was kinda unsure whether or not I should pursue her or not though, so I asked God what I should do, and gave the situation to Him. Recently, she told me she found someone else. I’m currently still dealing with disappointment, however, because of Jesus, I’m realizing he’s using this disappointment to draw me closer to Himself. I just last night heard a song that transported me back to when all I would listen to was songs for the Lord. (I had drifted away to only secular music for years) I’ve been digging those songs back up and listening to them as they brought me to tears, remembering His Goodness in my life. Now I just watched this video lol!
That is awesome! I love to see a journey like that! Keep us updated on how it’s going!
If you add a prerequisite of being sad to repentance you are going to hold back a lot if people from coming to/returning to Christ. In my case I wasn’t really sad I knew that I was wrong and that Jesus was right and chose to follow him (Acts 16:31)
Very good to hear your experience
Yeah, it's not so much being sad as much as it is being sorry. That's my take, anyway.
Thank you so much I have adhd so this is a very fun and useful method for me to learn ❤
I do too! These videos are for you my friend!
Me too! And I learn and absorb things better with visual content. Plus I love video games. Then combine that with spiritual growth! I'm all in ^_^ There is nothing better than teaching that brings us closer to Our Lord Jesus.
Sometimes can control my urges, sometimes I can't (mostly). But when this video popped up, I feel like I can learn a lesson so thx u😇😇
Your video came to me at the perfect time. The Lord put it there. I was about to fall back into my old patters and saw that your video pop up. Thank you for the amazing content that is saving many. God bless you Jonathan.
Thanks. I think this video was a sign from God. It has great analogies. I also listen to Church hymns to help me find peace with Christ. I was ashamed of repenting to God because I had relapsed on a certain addiction involving images again, after countless times. God is all forgiving and He doesn't want me to be afraid to seek refuge, guidance, and forgiveness from Him. God bless, this channel is one of my most favourite Christian channels. This video was everything I needed to hear.
I love been watching this channel for a while i don't think i will ever unsubscribe!
*God is using you to speak to me, and more than me, I’m sure of it. The clarity of your teaching is a blessing of the Good News. Keep going brother!!!*
And If I may make a request, it would benefit me and others I’m sure, if you would be willing to think of a way to explain the Biblical “letting go and letting God” thing, in your own way. It’s so hard to stop trying to use your own willpower for justification and sanctification.
Blessings on your sister and anyone else helping you as well.
Your brother in Christ,
Shawn
I'm a very very huge gamer myself and I literally really understand everything you say and animate my guy, and its not embarrassing to share your sins or anything with us because you showed strength that you opened up and you did inspire and you've proved me right that video games and movies and shows and books secretly teach life lessons if you just pay attention close enough
and I also say if you can't teach others in a realistic and reality way, then why not explain it in a fun and creative way💡🎮
Keep up the gaming demonstrations of the bible my guy because all this is so super amazing 🎮👾
I have been struggling so much with lust and this video popped up. Thx so much man. Jesus is our Lord and Saviour🙏.
I started my addiction at the age of 10, during pandemic. My confinement gave me boredom and so curiosity arose. Out of nowhere, I don't even remember why, I decided to search questions about it, then slowly images, then videos, and I didn't notice, but I was addicted. It was 4 years since I started lusting and I failed just last night again. I have been way more rude to my brother, my friends, and had low self-esteem for myself. Every night, I feel the accuser telling me I was never worthy of Jesus' sacrifice. He started telling me that all of my friend's prayers were worth nothing if I didn't put effort. And I forgot my identity. I forgot that I was already in Christ. I feel guilty going to church and taking notes because I told myself that I wouldn't use it anyway. I always failed. I gave up, but I know didn't. I gave up trying to use my strength to stand up, but He gave me His. He's always giving me signs and tips and warnings to let go because I am already His and no longer of the world. He reminds me that I am a citizen if His kingdom and that I am clean. I am forgiven. I can't do this by myself, but He's there for me.
I pray that I will finally let go of the past. I can do it because God did.
(I will type my progress here in this comment.)
What's the root of this addiction. As in, is it loneliness, lack of interaction, or etc.
It's been 2 weeks how are you doing?
You are loved
Im in that situation right now. Its been a month or two now that i almost never prayed or even opend my bible. I wanna go back to the days where i was spending time with jesus and dont have sinful thoughts. I curse, judge, gossip and more and i hate it. I know that i just wanna be likw " everyone else" but i also dont want that. I dont know whats wrong with me!!! I used to get dreams where god warns me, or tells me to not be afraid, everytime i prayed. Examle, i had a dream that someone in my family killed my cat, 1 week later, my cat dissapeard, and someone actually told me taht person was planning that. Or when i was afraid of something, God told me these words: "Dont be afraid. Trust God". Now that i stopped praying, i dont get thouse dreams anymore. Im gonna change that. This video gave me hope. Months ago i was praying for my family to repend, now they are better then me. I have fallen behind. Please pray for me. I dont wanna keep doing this.
God loves you❤
These videos explain the truth and joy of the gospel so well and I know will help so many Christians who fear salvation can be lost. Your videos have helped me a lot, and I wanted to leave a comment to let you know these videos are invaluable and this is such a needed ministry. Thank you for taking the time to make such accessible and easy to understand teachings. God bless.
I love this guys editing style, it doesn't feel bland
MAN does this hit HARD!
We are ALL after the "Gold Coins" (wealth, status, power) and when we DO accumulate them, we STILL feel EMPTY!
"Take up my yoke, for my burden is light"
God Bless you ALL!
Thank you God for everything I have.
Very good videos full of good lessons.
God bless you all.
I love God.
I have faith in God.
I trust God.
Amen. ✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊
I needed this. I just came back from almost 2 years of backsliding. God kept on calling out my name to return to Him but I was too ashamed and tired to go back. He never left me though I momentarily went back to my old life --- and it was even worse! Idk why I ever backslided. Thank you. Praise God for your life and how you use RUclips as your platform in sharing more of God's faithfulness.
Oh and please pray for me....
Please continue these video game videos. I'm a visual learner and these have helped me understand better, thank you
I struggled too with this Until anytime I was tempted I just started singing worship music in my mind. Then it would just go away and I just feel joy. Worship is not only one of our purposes but worship can be a weapon! Going on 6 months now. Just like we are to pray without ceasing, fill your mind up with worshiping him. With him All Is possible.
This channel is very underrated, great job, peace be upon you ❤❤❤
Amen may God bless anyone who watches this video and may he bless the one who worked on it
Hardest sins for me:
1. Pride
2. Lust
3. Wrath
(Lust and wrath are interchangeable)
Love you brother! We need more people who understand the gospel. God bless you!
How do I know I'm saved?
Jesus said He'd save me if I trusted Him.
I believe Him.
So I know I'm saved. 😊
Love you brother! Keep laboring! You are a mighty warrior in His kingdom! Be encouraged!
Come on man of God!
1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV
[13] Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
"Quit you like men" is an old phrase that means "behave like a man". The Bible says "act like a man, be strong". 💪
God bless you brothers!
I myself have tried to get for myself everything that others have gotten, but somehow I couldn't. Then I fell into an addiction that kept me there for several years.
When I saw Jesus, I understood that the environment is one big reason for my problems. A rose doesn't grow in soil that doesn't have nutrients, and iron doesn't stay strong if it's in water for a long time. A rose dies if it doesn't get enough nutrients and iron rusts away if it stays in water.
So I immediately understood that I have to move to another place if I want to change.
The move is still ahead and I would like you to pray for me that after the move I would be better able to focus on Jesus Christ.
Stay strong🙏❤️
That is a hard thing to admit to, brother, and I am right there with you. It’s a hard and honestly embarrassing fight, but praise the Lord that in his mercy and love, he does not leave us, and continues to be good, even as we fail. Let us run the race together, freed from the burden of lies that we’ve fallen for time and time again. In Him there is victory!
Honestly though always be actively engaged in a good cause. There's a reason they refer to people who waste time as a "wank3r".
I love this video. The video game analogy is so perfect. And this applies to any sin. I think the devil likes to keep us in shame. I hear “you’re a hypocrite” over and over I think for so long that has kept me in shame from ever moving forward and growing into maturity again because I felt like I would never be “good enough” or “worthy of” sharing the kingdom because of how badly I’ve messed up. But what I found was that I don’t have to be good enough because Jesus is what I do need to do is learn to follow Jesus consistently through releasing my shame to Him and walking in spiritual freedom. While people in the world condemn me, Jesus empowers me to rise above those standards to His standard. I want to live that out now even if just one day at a time. I know I won’t be perfect but He can help me return to Him fully.
the day attacks me with the same accusations, it wants to ruin our communion with God, it even accuses us of what is not a sin.
I'm finally understanding some things that I never knew about God. I struggle with many things you cover and this video hits close to home, thanks for spreading the word and making videos other Christians can relate to. Thank you for breaking down all these things and recreating them so that even us kids can understand.
your channel helps me understand jesus way better, please keep making content so it reaches the younger audience like me
This was me but im free thank Jesus✝.. i believe this in Jesus name that all of that is gone and will never come back again.. Everyone focus on Jesus he's the way✝❤
3:16 I like how Jesus just went through the coins/sins
I have been constantly foghting my addiction, I didnt take any help from God, but after I got rid of the addiction, God gave me grace, I feel the presence, I met her, I hope she will be my wife, she is perfect, for me, if this is Gods plan I can't strave from the road. Thank you
I love God, the Father, God the Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Ghost.
Same!
this is exactly the videos our generation needs, much respect to you for this video, praise the Lord
Even though I don’t see my journey with Christ as a game, explaining it this way has truly enlightened me on what it really means to repent(bc I wasn’t sure). You earned a new sub. Thank you, and God bless you ❤🕊️🙏🏽
You don't have to be embarassed,we all make mistakes, it's completly fine,you Help so much people with this Video,God Bless you Amen
Great explanation brother, God bless you!
My friend, you described me perfectly. Thank you for this video, which came out on my 18th birthday, and just one day before God had already touched me when my heart was so hardened that I seriously thought I had no forgiveness, and I had blasphemed against His Holy Spirit with a short video of R3alism and I was able to repent of my sin, thank God! Please pray for me, so that God allows my heart to be soft toward His word and not only honor Him with our lips but with our hearts. I see this video as another sign, thank you for sharing your testimony and sharing those passages of Revelation that I had not heard/read before, thank you very much brother. God bless you and yours. 🤍🙏🏻🫂
1 Corinthians 15:2-4 KJV
Faith Alone in Christ Alone
Nothing else
Faith alone does not save,we are saved because of the grace of God and faith is used to accept it.
@@ChristianKnight-1054 Correct, it’s really grace. Faith is just the empty hand that reaches out to grab it. However it’s not technically wrong to say “faith saves.” It’s like saying “baptism saves.” We can say that because they both play a part in how someone is saved.
@@ModerateMic Yes.
Thank you so much! Truely a blessing to hear this testamony!!! God bless! 🩷
I love your game analogies so much, and how they make me think about Jesus in different ways. :D Thank you and bless you so much; I hope you continue to succeed and flourish! Also, I still struggle with the looking back at what I'd done. It takes me time to forgive myself too, but I'll keep on while I'm alive so I can be closer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Your videoes are spreading so much love and kindness and it's a joy to watch and listen to them! Thank you for the good works you're doing :D
I now love this channel. Saw this unique perspective on overcoming sin as a video game for a reason, I am currently struggling with one deadly sin that has always had a hold on me, and (because I am a gamer) this video resonates with me. God works in mysterious ways! Edit* That's profound. I am a hypocrite if I don't follow Jesus again, because under the mask I realize I am a child of God through my faith in Jesus Christ. Many people believe they are a hypocrite if they follow Jesus and continue to sin...but really, it's the other way around! Just because you STRUGGLE with sin, doesn't mean you are not a child of God and don't believe in Jesus (lost salvation etc.) it just means you NEED Jesus, and that need is continual, because, perfect or not, child of God or not, follower of Jesus or not, we all sin, we all fall short of the glory of God. It takes a heart of genuine repentance and continual prayer to overcome even the greatest sin. Yet, I still am a child of God. Even though I still sin on a daily basis, I realize my need for Jesus daily, my need for Gods grace and mercy daily, and I am (slowly but surely) overcoming this sin that has weighed down on me!
I like this remembrance of confirmation. Thanks bro. I literally read this verse not so long ago and it spoke to me. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Stay out of the world. Renew your mind and change your thinking. God bless.
So happy to see from you, thank you for explaining this
Thank you for not being afraid to talk about this. Taboo subject for Christians, but it just makes those who struggle with it feel more alienated like "man if this is too nuh uh to even TALK about, I def can't go to anyone else for help, better just struggle on in silence and hope for the best haha 😢"
Absolutely love this channel! Keep up the good work man!
With gods help I am now around 1 week clean and I’ll keep going🙏 praise Jesus!!
The biggest struggle for me trying to take this advice is that I can't remember the time before because, well, I literally can't remember. There was no time before. I'm 21, and trying to escape a lustful addiction that has, to my best guess, been going on for 16 years. I have no memory of how or when it started simply because I was too young to remember. It's a complicated story but to cut very short, it didn't start with any images. It only started with an innocent child accidentally discovering the act of self-pleasure, and the one thing about the origin I do remember clearly is that when my parents scolded me about it, I didn't listen because I didn't know enough to understand why I should. In a five year old's logic, it feels good, it's not like I'm being mean or hurting anyone. What's the big deal? The looking at images only came about once puberty came around and changed a few things.
So for me, there was no time before. This has been my life. There was no memory of a relationship with God beforehand because although raised Christian, I always just went along with it as a kid because I was told to, not out of any real understanding of it. Luckily, my very rational and facts-and-reasoning based mind has brought me down my own true path to God, but now 16 years later, that path has been always paved in the shadow of this lifelong sin, and with it has constantly come that feeling that I have only ever been attempting to reach God as a hypocrite since there was no relationship or even any life before this "Great Sin" of mine.
Yea I'm kinda the same situation. Although a bit later, it's a real tough grind to stop. I know that one thing I can do is actually join a church and repent to a spirutual father and get a proper prayer life going. Theres many things I havn't done to improve the situation so like the creed song goes "Gabriel stands and confirms i've created my own prison". We can do this mate, we can have a new relationship with God we never had.
I needed this…thank u. I have been battling corn for so long. I forgot what my mission was on this earth! God bless you brother!
Im an addict..
Im currently on a fast from video games and I've broken the strong bond of p**n. Been praying to the Lord to help me stay strong. Games are now what I'm fighting with. They cause me to get angry and outburst. Currently its been about a week now since unplugging. I've been reading my Bible and gone back to doing the Men's Group Study Book we're on by Edwin Louis Cole.
Keep going brother. Stay around other Christian men like you're doing with your study group. The accountability will help immensely when you're battling addiction. God Bless.
Thank you for making illustrations like this. It helps me understand better. Make more content like this. God bless!
Love this channel, God bless ❤
This is an amazing and informative way to show how we sin and it’s not taking us anywhere especially to a younger audience
I love these types of videos, keep up the great work! ❤
Thanks for all you do. I still struggle from time to time , but I know I am in His hands. Regards and blessings.
Lust has been part my nature since I have memory. And I believe it will destroy my life when I get older. Is not only a simple sin, it has fkd up my sense of reality pretty bad. I have reached a point where I can feel the devil tempting me everyday, of course I keep falling because I feel I have time to repent later.
Recently I’ve stoped praying in the nights, and also stopped praying Jesus to forgiveness. Although Jesus is in my mind 24/7, those times where I sin I feel like my mind forgets about Jesus and comes back to the real world to enjoy some time…
I’m looking up for a coming up event that if God helps me it will bring my life to a 180• turn
I just wanna say thank you and thank you to God for showing me this video this helped me so much with my previous addiction to lust I have been made a child of God again due to my repentance
wow these videos just keep getting better
This was such a wonderful video. What an incredible message and illustration. God bless.
The early part reminds me of The Pilgrim's Progress (by John Bunyan), where the burden was loosed because of Jesus' work on the Cross, rolling down the hill into the open sepulchre, then to be found no more. There was a video game made for The Pilgrim's Progress that was very well done back in 2011.
Thank you for making this channel.
I love your vids ! I hope your successful. Have a blessed day, brother in Christ ♡︎
Such an incredible channel, informative, entertaining and Christ-filled
Nice a great lesson God Bless You
God sent me this video in my moment of despair. I really needed this thank you
Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing.
I also think how you said about listening to worship music is good because it drives away the demons. The devil hates worship music.
You’re not the only one I’m too struggling to this 😢 and the worst is that I’m in a relationship with someone I in fact trust love💔
It’s worth telling that the struggles aren’t like they used to be (i have better control now) but from time to time I end up falling to it😞.
I wish to to truly be free from this and continue my journey in peace.
Wish the same bless to you 🙌
2:20 we all go through it brother.
I love the video and T-shirt! Thank you Lord for sending me here 🙏
Next video: lukewarmness, explained as a video game
This was really well done, young man. Keep reading God's Word and growing in Him privately and sharing with other's who want to listen publicly.
Can't believe this was uploaded 5 hours ago
Great video. I’ve really enjoyed the work and nessage that God is making through you. Keep going and God bless you
Such a good video, love your videos, they are so informative~!
God bless you for helping so many people follow Jesus 😇
I love the 8-bit game way you represent this! It makes me cry just because it's cute, but it's also incredibly accurate to the Holy Word. I was like that too, the day I converted I said "Lord I will never leave you again!" And two years later I was back to vomiting. It started with me being disappointed in myself, and then turning that blame onto God. My addiction was that I was a nerd and an otaku, addicted to games, especially anime, manga and inappropriate things, I filled my life with this for many years, it gave me a sense of meaning in life, but I was completely empty inside. After I met Yeshua I saw the real purpose of all entertainment, which is to distance us from God. I realized how much I enjoyed evil. But after meeting Yeshua, and becoming disappointed in myself, I stopped praying, and stopped reading the Bible. I gradually started listening to the music I liked [K-pop, J-pop/rock], and then I started another addiction: books for young people, series, and a lot of inappropriate things in that field. I felt exactly like that, like I was in a deep hole. I didn't even know how to get back, and I didn't want to, and I didn't regret it. Despite that, I couldn't forget Jesus, and I kept feeling the need to defend His Word whenever I had the chance. I fell into the worst depression of my life, an unexplained emptiness. Disorders like bipolar disorder and borderline took over my mind to such an extent that I thought I would go crazy. But this year the Lord called me back. And I was healed of everything. Praise the Lord, His mercy is incomprehensible.
P.S: Then I realized that I was not alone in this process, it represents the story of the prodigal son.
The listening to songs part was so accurate. Children's songs are so catchy.
