I prayed for this and promised I wouldn’t loose to temptation again. But I did. Every day. I cried for forgiveness and asked for help to fight the temptation. Now I haven’t even thought about it for six days. Very thankful🙏
i just lost to temptation not even 10 minutes from typing this. and instantly saw this video. those who are more rightous than me please pray for me that our God may give us strength. especially me
You are righteous friend through being covered and clothed in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Yes there needs to be boundaries and commitments to being and doing better, speaking as a 16 year old boy, its going to be easier, we just need to walk in the authority of Jesus and say No. God sees you friend through the lens of his Son, Not Your Performance or your own Shortcomings and Sins. So therefore when you do stumble confess it and move on. The righteous keep on pressing forward to the Lord, the people far from Him plunge into it and become enslaved and ensnared and are never satisfied and will one day recognize their mistakes and the Truth after its been too late. But thats not you beloved Son of God. We are servants of Christ and Slaves of Righteousness Peace Hope and Joy, no matter our performance or own shortcomings, For All Eternity, because we choose to continue pursuing Christ and saying No, despite the difficulty, we have The Holy Spirit infilling and Empowering our life and The King of Kings and Lord of LORDS! Press on Beloved Child of God. “I am He my Beloved and I Am Close, See Me, Choose Me, Acknowledge Me. For I Am The One Who is Faithful and True and Close to You. No. Matter. What. Rest.”
bro same i feel like hes just upset with me now, i feel like he wont even forgive me anymore i feel like giving up quick update we finally defeated lust >:)) thank you so much for encouraging me with words, god says tongues can speak death over anyone but also life and you guys spoke life over my head and I thank you guys a million times :D
@@coco-dc1opthe other day when I was praying I was saying to God I feel like you’re disappointed in me for slipping up. Not even 10 minutes later, I see a video saying God isn’t disappointed in us. He wants the best for us and will forgive us. He wants us to come to Him. What I’m trying to say, is that He isn’t disappointed in you. He is there for you always and will always forgive you if you truly want to be forgiven. We think he might be disappointed in us because of how the people in our lives act when we do them wrong. But remember, God, our creator, is not like that. Always has open arms for you
If you are a believer (born again) you are already righteous because of Jesus! Jesus will help us make the change keep the faith and keep praying! Prayers up for you and me too as we all have fallen short from the glory of God! He will forgive you and me. Let go of the guilt and look to Jesus! Repent and see yourself through God’s eyes! He loves you unconditionally!!! Blessings to you!!!❤🙏🏾☮️
For a week I haven’t lost. I have prayed, taken deep breaths, avoided triggers, and I just barely scrapped by just now by avoiding porn again and not putting my hand where it should be.. I. Am. Tired. This video gives me hope. I have been battling this addiction for four years, and this time I won’t let it sweep the floor from beneath me. I am sixteen years old and refuse to give up. Enough is enough. No longer a slave to sin, but a slave to righteousness.
it’s nice to hear this from someone closer in age to me. most the comments are ppl older like 20-40s who have more self control but i think hearing it from someone my age helps. its hard but worth it and certainly gets easier
@@LisanAlGaib-p9zno, it’s not a verse. But the Bible does say that you should run away from lust like Joseph did when the girl or woman tried to do the bad thing
I just sat down in my bathroom after a very difficult and stressful day. I’ve been good for such a LONG TIME! Though I struggled with this temptation for over 20 years. But all I kept thinking about right now was going on the browser and looking at things I shouldn’t just to take the pain away for a moment. But instead i opened RUclips instead and this was the first video that showed up. So thankful of you for sharing this and all the wonderful people with comments and encouragement. The lord is so good.
phew thats good but i jsut got to say your not bad or a bas person for doing something bad it happens to everyone but good on you man it is bad bad stuff your 20 billion precent better off.
We have to read the word of God. It washes our mind clean. The closer we get to God the more our flesh dies. I can speak this because reading the word of God helped me break addictions to a lot of different drugs. No rehab. There is power in those words. I’m dealing with lustful thoughts still but they are fading, and I know that one day soon I’m gonna be able to be completely free. It does go away. He’s our living hope.
I find that when the temptation of lust is strongest, the easiest way to fight it is to fill your mind with the word of God and meditate on it continuesly so that there won't be any room for thoughts of lust. Specially reading the Mosaic laws in the Bible really uplifts the spirit.
That is partly true but remember that we flee from lust rather than fight it. We have to remove somethings in our lives if they cause to think lustfully
@@I.Am.Shadow4o0 when I say meditate, I don't mean it in like a "keep repeating a verse over and over again", but rather think about teachings in the Bible and try and gain understanding on topics we might not fully grasp :) that's why Mosaic law is great cos it's the fundamentals of God's law. So we can go into deep thoughts and cross reference those laws with modern day life and how it applies to teachings of Jesus etc. It's all about having something to combat or drown out thoughts of temptation. Cos temptation becomes rampant when you have nothing to do. When your mind is idle. So it's important to have something good in our mind so that we can not fall into that state of idleness. Cos as the old saying goes "an idle mind is the devil's workshop". So read the Bible and let its words fill your mind. Hope this helps. 🙂
@@kingzamn45 question, besides the sabbath day, is it alright if you can have rest time just to relax or is that part of "deny yourself" to keep working
@@I.Am.Shadow4o0 idk why you are asking such a question, cos as far as I know, there isn't a single law telling you not to rest or to rest only on the Sabbath. However since you are talking about the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath belongs to Mosaic law. Mosaic law however was meant to be observed ONLY BY THE ISRAELITES before the birth of Jesus. However through Jesus, we are freed from the Mosaic law. That's why in Matthew 11:28-30 he said the following: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. So do not worry about Mosaic law. Simply try your best not to live in sin. To love Everyone as yourself. And most importantly repent of any sins you might commit and ask for forgiveness while you forgive those you might despise or who have wronged you. For doing these makes you sealed into the righteousness Jesus wants us to observe and thereby guarantees our salvation. After that if you want to observe the Sabbath or anything else mentioned in the Mosaic law like not eating pork or getting tattoos or even circumcision, then do it simply out of desire to do it and not out of compulsion. Cos trying to follow Mosaic law to enter heaven is nearly impossible, especially in modern times. So do not try. Cos trying to do so will drive you insane and that's why it's stated in the Bible that he who tries to observe the Mosaic law is accursed.
Just like almost every other battle a person may go through in their life, it's always a process. Sometimes you lose, but you have to be consistent in your resistance to change over time.
@@ChristineVress You’re not acting Christlike. I’m confessing my sins and saying that I’m willing to call God for aid, yet you’re choosing to condemn me. You need to reflect and repent.
Do you have a discipler? A shepherd if you will. A senior believer who you have submitted to be accountable to? Also, are you part of a local church family? This questions might seem unrelated but just answer them and I promise you'll find something out that may just change your entire struggle
@@akinoluolusina I’ve gone to New Psalmist Baptist Church ever since I was a child, but ever since the pandemic, I haven’t been there physically. Also with our Bishop saying suspicious things like saying he likes the word “Woke” and putting it in last year’s slogan, and talking about social justice, I decided to distance myself and watch other men of God like Vodie Baucham.
The problem is that you are thinking it's a battle.Its a matter of fleeing lust and doing things such as reading the word that occupy our minds so those thoughts don't come
I needed this right now. Your videos just started showing up in my recommended in the past few months and I really love the stuff you put out man. I pray God blesses you for the work you're doing 😊
My victories are all in God. I started experiencing greater liberty from temptations when I started to read God's word daily and before bed. Always praying for deliverance and thanking Him for all the blessings He has already given me. It is still hard, there are times where I feel like I will buckle and bend, but it is love for Jesus that strengthens me. Wanting to say more than just, "You know I love you." But to be able to say to God, "Look at my struggles in your name. See how hard I strive to deny myself for your name’s sake. God, my Father, my Redeemer, and my Counselor, I have shown you that I love you."
What also really helps me right now is getting truly angry towards the sin I was commiting, like I'm battling the demon of lust, that way I don't let myself get tempted into thinking it's no so bad and argue myself into sinning.
It also helps if you can see the damage that lust causes in the world. You might only be having tempting thoughts, but it's the same sin that leads to sex slavery and child pornography. When you look at the extremes, you can really see why it is so disgusting.
1 Cor 6:18 the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. This verse helped me understand why Job made a covenant with his eyes and not God in this verse New Living Translation Job 31:1 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman. I seriously prayed this verse over my eyes and to this day a fear comes over me every time I see a pretty girl praise Jesus for His word
A battle is hard. That’s the point! A battle, a struggle, a fight, the point IS that they’re hard! But the truth is that the hardest battles to fight, feel the best when you win. Thank you Isaac, keep doing what you’re doing!
@@trionez i think that if we just run from our problems then we’ll never be truly rid of them. it’s only if we actively fight and resist of them that we can finally be free
@@mazecy22 I never said run from problems.The bible clear state flee from youthful lust and pursue righteousness which means run from lust and don't fight it because you likely fall into it's traps
For women, we tend to be drawn more towards porn in a written form. Books, wattpad, fanfics, you name it. Just because it comes in a different form doesn’t mean it’s not porn. We gotta be aware of it and reject it in all its forms. I’ve known many women who’ve struggled, and I know those who have overcome it. I myself have felt tempted from time to time which obviously is natural. But we are called to reject the natural man, not to indulge it! You all got this guys!!!!!
The Holy Spirit is speaking to me right now. This was my whole day today. Needed to hear this. It's a sign we are saved that we have the temptation, for it shows the conviction is inside of us of why it would be wrong, showing us we can't go down that path. Thanks brother, God bless you.
@@_FearNoEvil oh and i forgot to mention: Whenever temptation arises, be sure to quote Scripture. When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, Satan used God's Word to tempt him. Each time, Jesus responded with "It is written" and quotes Scripture. The devil will flee from you if you rely on the Word and power of God
@@kM-ij2lyit is. Some people have fully overcome the desire to m*sturbate or to have sex. I just lost today. I don’t wanna be like an addict. I feel so bad
I have been struggling with this the most I feel like. I prayed last night, for me and my family and I woke up to this. I go to your page and the last video you posted was about lust. Thank you so much. I am thankful the Lord brought me to you.
Hello there.. It's amazing that you came across this video.. About the struggles, let me give you some more tips that can help.. Try disassociating yourself from what normally leads you to it.. Watch your company, not only people, but things around you, ranging from certain kind of books, some apps in your phone, the things you watch and follow and so on.. Mostly, equip yourself more with the word of God, let the bible be you accompaniment as a christian.. And don't forget.. Keep Fighting.. Don't give up..
Amen brother, currently battling with lust and I pray that anyone seeing this video or this comment. Will ask The Lord for strength in defeating this. We are all together in the mighty name of Jesus and someday we will all spend eternity together. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for spreading the hope and truth of the gospel. As someone who personally struggles with lust, and that kind of sin. I must say thank you for making the type of content that reaches all sorts of people. Words that cut to the bone with the truth and love that Jesus gave to us. With this serious sin, we must not take it lightly, our responsibilities as Christ followers to follow his teachings.
Man I wish I would’ve stayed a virgin. I fell into prostitution in my early 20’s and it’s been a terrible shameful experience everyday since I committed this sin. Can someone pray for me? I feel like since I already did this, what’s the point anymore..
@@ginandcreme thank you kind sir I’m starting to walk in repentance and even tho it might be difficult I can feel the joy in freedom in Christ and his forgiveness
Just remember the past is done with and doesn't exist anymore. Forgive yourself, I know it's easier said than done but we are imperfect. Trust me I struggle with shame too but are past doesn't define who we are.
God doesn't condone Immorality (including fornication). That means that fulfilling your sexual desires with a girlfriend (anyone you're not married to) is sin. That aside, even without a wife, Christ is still beyond powerful enough through his spirit to purify our desires if we submit them to him. The question now is how do you do that? The first and most obvious thing is of course closing every door of temptation that the devil would use against you. This could be letting go of old friends and partners who used to lead us to sin, getting off some media that used to expose us to temptation and alot more. But there's more to that submission of our thoughts and desires to God ...are you interested in knowing more bro?
@@akinoluolusina Sure God has the power to change your desires, but most of the time He doesn't. He gives one gift to one person and a different gift to another. If you are struggling with lust then God wants you to get married.
@@potapotapotapotapotapota i highly doubt that the best way to look at it. Lust is a sinful desire and it cannot be the perfect will of God to leave sinful desires in you. I'm sure God would have multiple other ways of letting you know he wants you to get married and there's no where it suggests in scripture that lustful desires are a sign from the Lord to be married. The Lord does not tempt us with evil but OUR OWN EVIL NATURE does James 1:13-15 [13]Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. [14]But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. [15]Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. It's in the bible like that. God wants us to be totally Holy as he is holy. That can't be possible if he expects some of us to still retain lust within them. If you're struggling with lust, there is freedom in Christ. If you're in Christ and haven't found the freedom yet, it doesn't mean that Christ does not will to free you, it means you need new understanding
@@potapotapotapotapotapotaIf you are struggling with lust God instructs us not to fight it but flee it.This means removing certain things and people in our lives that cause us to think lustfully.Even though you have a wife, if lust is an issue then what if she doesn't please those things you imagine?
No one knows themselves until they've been tempted. No one is crowned unless they conquer. No one conquers unless they struggle. No one struggles unless they meet the enemy and are attacked. St Augustine
This is exactly what I needed I have been talking to my friend about him getting baptized and he was worried about temptations after baptism I sent this to him to let him know that this is life after baptism and it is worth it if you trust in god every step of the way
Thank you so much! I have been struggling with temptation for so long and I try and try to stop it but it never works and I always fall back into my sin.
Amen brother. There was a time I would get tempted and even still when I do God would speak to me by having me come across these type of videos, conviction, guilt or any way available for me to stay away from sexual sin.
Saw this clip awhile ago. God used THIS clip to set me on a path back to Him. To say I am grateful to you for this is the understatement of the century. Thanks Brother for letting God use you.
My thoughts wear me down till nothing even makes sense or matters anymore. Fighting your thoughts all day long. It's exhausting. Eventually nothing you do to control the constant onslaught of thoughts works and you lose control.
Thanks for your openness, being vulnerable and being an example not caring what others think and being raw honest! We need more of this in the church. I have failed with lust, porn and excessive alcohol and being angry & envious in my life! Jesus help🔥😊🔥we need to use the public stage of internet to expose our sinfulness more and do our good works in secret! The internet needs more Christians like you brother🔥🔥🕊️✝️
Wow! Thank you for this. I’ve been praying for so long too. And I thought some day it will be easy. But then, I got discouraged and ashamed whenever I fall. Thank you! This gave me a new hope and perspective in following Jesus
Love you brother, thank you. I agree with you. I battled against sins and lust for many years. Eventually i would lean on God like you said and i would be delivered. I was working and i didnt need pron. Then after i lost my job I fell back into it. Then i kept fighting and praying. I eventually hit rock bottom one night and i cried out from heart for Him to save me and gave everything i had inside to dedicate myself to Him and I haven't needed pron since. Tho i have had a few moments that were borderline. It's a choice everyday, but its nowhere neeeeeeeeaaaarrrrr as bad it was. Praise Jesus. Be led.
I fought that demon too, but once I understood Deliverance, I called it up and sent it away. Now I pray for others to receive their healing and freedom.
That is so true....and the eventual liberation from that spirit is just wonderful.... You get the chance to focus on Christ, His will for you and your relationship becomes so intimate. I just love it!☺️
Daily disciple, I ask for your prayers. I just got done watching things I shouldn’t have and I feel awful. I’m a teenager who wants to be a preacher when I graduate.I prayed to God and I know he’ll forgive me but I’m still scared I won’t be able to overcome this temptation. I’ve been trying to quit for a month and I can’t seem to get more than 2 weeks before relapsing. I’ve been studying the word of God more thoroughly lately and you’ve helped me with that. But I don’t know how to overcome this.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (New international version)
“It gets easier. Every day gets a little easier, but you have to do it every day. That’s the hard part.”
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life.
You’re absolutely right I had to go to war daily with everything that was causing me to stumble and GOD was merciful to set me free
You are still thinking with lust

This verse helped me understand why Job made a covenant with his eyes and not God in this verse
New Living Translation Job 31:1
“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.
I seriously prayed this verse over my eyes and to this day a fear comes over me every time I see a pretty girl praise Jesus for His word
Thank you ❤
Amen
i'm trying to find my faith currently, and things like this are helping me along my journey. thank you
A battle is hard. That’s the point! A battle, a struggle, a fight, the point IS that they’re hard! But the truth is that the hardest battles to fight, feel the best when you win. Thank you Isaac, keep doing what you’re doing!
My fellow brother.The bible instructs us to flee from lust not battle it.
@@trionez i think that if we just run from our problems then we’ll never be truly rid of them. it’s only if we actively fight and resist of them that we can finally be free
@@mazecy22 I never said run from problems.The bible clear state flee from youthful lust and pursue righteousness which means run from lust and don't fight it because you likely fall into it's traps
Sadly I’ve seen this before but I always keep coming back looking up ways to help me… well idk why but today I really heard it! Thank you sir!
Amen! This is so true! Battling with sin is extremely difficult! God bless you, brother!
Half true - Jesus can take away the desires to the point it becomes easy because he did the hard part already
@@jss.2020 Thanks, Amen!
For women, we tend to be drawn more towards porn in a written form. Books, wattpad, fanfics, you name it. Just because it comes in a different form doesn’t mean it’s not porn. We gotta be aware of it and reject it in all its forms. I’ve known many women who’ve struggled, and I know those who have overcome it. I myself have felt tempted from time to time which obviously is natural. But we are called to reject the natural man, not to indulge it! You all got this guys!!!!!
The Holy Spirit is speaking to me right now. This was my whole day today. Needed to hear this. It's a sign we are saved that we have the temptation, for it shows the conviction is inside of us of why it would be wrong, showing us we can't go down that path. Thanks brother, God bless you.
Lust is such a powerful temptation. Stay strong my brother and stay devoted to Christ! He will help you through this!
@@AvgGuy3512 Thank you for that brother. God bless you!
@@_FearNoEvil absolutely! Let's remember to pray for each other
@@_FearNoEvil oh and i forgot to mention:
Whenever temptation arises, be sure to quote Scripture. When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, Satan used God's Word to tempt him. Each time, Jesus responded with "It is written" and quotes Scripture. The devil will flee from you if you rely on the Word and power of God
@@AvgGuy3512 amen! When we think we’re the only ones suffering we gotta remember the brethren across the world is going through the same thing
Most men who are honest spend a lifetime praying and striving for this
Give me the strength Lord to stand firm through the trials and to confess when I fall
Literally the video i needed to see before i made some wrong decisions. thank you
Thank you Isaac, I really needed this today!
Thank you, brother! I pray that God continues to bless you with steadfastness. Praying for all my brothers and sisters in the comments as well!
Wow. I really needed this today. This was such a blessing.
This is so beautiful. Amen brother ✊
Thanks for this video. I have been fighting lust and temtation for a couple of months. Praise the Lord! Amen!
Prayer and fasting helps
@@baldwin5510Thanks. God bless you.
This came up just when I needed it. Thank you and Thank God.
Eventually the desire gets removed from you
Nah that simply not true
@@kM-ij2lyit is. Some people have fully overcome the desire to m*sturbate or to have sex. I just lost today. I don’t wanna be like an addict. I feel so bad
You cannot build strength without going through pain
Best way to dull the lusts of the flesh is by fasting. Pray, surrender to God, and make sure to ask for strength, faith, and humility.
Been Struggling With Temptation A Lot Lately, I Need Y’all’s Prayers 🙏🏾❤️
I’ve needed to hear this for a while now, thank you ❤️
I have been struggling with this the most I feel like. I prayed last night, for me and my family and I woke up to this. I go to your page and the last video you posted was about lust. Thank you so much. I am thankful the Lord brought me to you.
Hello there..
It's amazing that you came across this video..
About the struggles, let me give you some more tips that can help..
Try disassociating yourself from what normally leads you to it..
Watch your company, not only people, but things around you, ranging from certain kind of books, some apps in your phone, the things you watch and follow and so on..
Mostly, equip yourself more with the word of God, let the bible be you accompaniment as a christian..
And don't forget..
Keep Fighting..
Don't give up..
@@peaceetuk2373 thank you so much!! i've been struggling with this recently. I needed to see this so much, God bless you dear brother/sister
Noticeably no one talks about love. The answer is to love more and correctly.
This short came at the right time! Amen thankyou
You have to run from it to God and let him hold you in his mighty Grace.
I knew the road away from lust is a hard one but no one said it so blatantly like this. Thank you 💙
Amen brother, currently battling with lust and I pray that anyone seeing this video or this comment. Will ask The Lord for strength in defeating this. We are all together in the mighty name of Jesus and someday we will all spend eternity together. Thank you ❤
Amen, prayer isn't going to work if you're not going to move, I shall remember this forever.
Thank you so much for spreading the hope and truth of the gospel.
As someone who personally struggles with lust, and that kind of sin. I must say thank you for making the type of content that reaches all sorts of people. Words that cut to the bone with the truth and love that Jesus gave to us.
With this serious sin, we must not take it lightly, our responsibilities as Christ followers to follow his teachings.
Oh brother, may God sustain this ministry. Thank you for continuing.
Amen thank for this video God bless you thank you God Jesus
I Love this message, ty. Yes, go into battle knowing it's never 'easy', but it will be eventually.
Man I wish I would’ve stayed a virgin. I fell into prostitution in my early 20’s and it’s been a terrible shameful experience everyday since I committed this sin. Can someone pray for me? I feel like since I already did this, what’s the point anymore..
You are heard by not just me. ❤
Walk in repentance ,
You are worthy of love ,
Never give up.
God bless❤
@@ginandcreme thank you kind sir I’m starting to walk in repentance and even tho it might be difficult I can feel the joy in freedom in Christ and his forgiveness
Just remember the past is done with and doesn't exist anymore. Forgive yourself, I know it's easier said than done but we are imperfect. Trust me I struggle with shame too but are past doesn't define who we are.
@@5ebaso Now you are a new person😊
thank you everyone here. it feels so relieving to know im not going through this alone. good luck everyone, the Lord will help us all on our journeys.
It's easier when you have a wife or a girlfriend, but it sucks when you're alone😢
God doesn't condone Immorality (including fornication). That means that fulfilling your sexual desires with a girlfriend (anyone you're not married to) is sin.
That aside, even without a wife, Christ is still beyond powerful enough through his spirit to purify our desires if we submit them to him. The question now is how do you do that?
The first and most obvious thing is of course closing every door of temptation that the devil would use against you. This could be letting go of old friends and partners who used to lead us to sin, getting off some media that used to expose us to temptation and alot more.
But there's more to that submission of our thoughts and desires to God ...are you interested in knowing more bro?
@@akinoluolusina Sure God has the power to change your desires, but most of the time He doesn't. He gives one gift to one person and a different gift to another. If you are struggling with lust then God wants you to get married.
@@potapotapotapotapotapota i highly doubt that the best way to look at it. Lust is a sinful desire and it cannot be the perfect will of God to leave sinful desires in you. I'm sure God would have multiple other ways of letting you know he wants you to get married and there's no where it suggests in scripture that lustful desires are a sign from the Lord to be married. The Lord does not tempt us with evil but OUR OWN EVIL NATURE does
James 1:13-15
[13]Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
[14]But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
[15]Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
It's in the bible like that. God wants us to be totally Holy as he is holy. That can't be possible if he expects some of us to still retain lust within them. If you're struggling with lust, there is freedom in Christ. If you're in Christ and haven't found the freedom yet, it doesn't mean that Christ does not will to free you, it means you need new understanding
Prayer and fasting helps
@@potapotapotapotapotapotaIf you are struggling with lust God instructs us not to fight it but flee it.This means removing certain things and people in our lives that cause us to think lustfully.Even though you have a wife, if lust is an issue then what if she doesn't please those things you imagine?
"It never gets easier, you become stronger everyday."
Amen
Amen. Keep trucking through it every day.
Amen 🙏
needed to hear this, thank you
No one knows themselves until they've been tempted. No one is crowned unless they conquer. No one conquers unless they struggle. No one struggles unless they meet the enemy and are attacked.
St Augustine
yes!!! Certain temptations can literally feel painful if we deny them, but that's all part of it!!
I have failed. Countless of time fighting this temptation but I feel like this short was available to me for a reason thank you so muxh
Thank you for giving me this video I’ve been struggling with lust for awhile now but you have given me the truth that I need to make change
Dang Bro… Thank you for the truth. When you put it like this, I have to struggle, but struggle like Jacob did and get a blessing for resisting Sin!
Thank you for the spiritual reminder!!! Needed it!❤
Love you brother thank you for all that you do praying for you and your family stay strong!
This spoke to me so directly, brought tears to my eyes. God is good thanks for sharing.
This is exactly what I needed I have been talking to my friend about him getting baptized and he was worried about temptations after baptism I sent this to him to let him know that this is life after baptism and it is worth it if you trust in god every step of the way
There's levels to that pain, too.
I really needed this. Thank you and God bless
You have no idea how I needed this. Thank you
Thank you so much! I have been struggling with temptation for so long and I try and try to stop it but it never works and I always fall back into my sin.
Amen brother. There was a time I would get tempted and even still when I do God would speak to me by having me come across these type of videos, conviction, guilt or any way available for me to stay away from sexual sin.
Thank you so much brother ❤
Great and encouraging words!
Im struggling a lot, but I feel stronger now.
Yesss! I realised that unfortunately first after like 4 years. Thank you so much for making these videos
This is so helpful. Going through my fight right now
He tells us not to fight it but run from it.
Saw this clip awhile ago. God used THIS clip to set me on a path back to Him. To say I am grateful to you for this is the understatement of the century. Thanks Brother for letting God use you.
this reading resonated ! thank you !
This morning I fell into lust and it hurts. I battled for hours today and finally gave in. I didn’t flee my situation.
Dang, that’s exactly what I needed to hear.
My thoughts wear me down till nothing even makes sense or matters anymore. Fighting your thoughts all day long. It's exhausting. Eventually nothing you do to control the constant onslaught of thoughts works and you lose control.
Beautifully said brother. Thank you amen
Thanks for your openness, being vulnerable and being an example not caring what others think and being raw honest! We need more of this in the church. I have failed with lust, porn and excessive alcohol and being angry & envious in my life! Jesus help🔥😊🔥we need to use the public stage of internet to expose our sinfulness more and do our good works in secret! The internet needs more Christians like you brother🔥🔥🕊️✝️
This makes so much sense now. Thank you
I pray for anyone and evryone are going through this god will help u fight this .
Wow! Thank you for this.
I’ve been praying for so long too. And I thought some day it will be easy.
But then, I got discouraged and ashamed whenever I fall.
Thank you! This gave me a new hope and perspective in following Jesus
I love this and love your hoodie! Keep up the great work. I think this message was for me.
He who finds the kingdom - is like one who finds a great treasure.
I struggling with lust bad right now thank You for this
Love you brother, thank you. I agree with you. I battled against sins and lust for many years. Eventually i would lean on God like you said and i would be delivered. I was working and i didnt need pron. Then after i lost my job I fell back into it. Then i kept fighting and praying. I eventually hit rock bottom one night and i cried out from heart for Him to save me and gave everything i had inside to dedicate myself to Him and I haven't needed pron since. Tho i have had a few moments that were borderline. It's a choice everyday, but its nowhere neeeeeeeeaaaarrrrr as bad it was. Praise Jesus. Be led.
I fought that demon too, but once I understood Deliverance, I called it up and sent it away. Now I pray for others to receive their healing and freedom.
Thank you for the truth. You are a light in the darkness.
This literally just showed up as I'm struggling with this right now more than ever.
Thank you so much for the help
That is so true....and the eventual liberation from that spirit is just wonderful.... You get the chance to focus on Christ, His will for you and your relationship becomes so intimate. I just love it!☺️
Thank you for the advice ❤❤
That’s powerful I believe anyone fighting with the temptation will figure out the battle
Yay, here is to no hope for our struggle ever ending.
That is why we can't do it alone, we just cannot, we are so lost and weak without Him, Amen to that brother, very blessed words.
I appreciate this man I needed this today
Daily disciple, I ask for your prayers. I just got done watching things I shouldn’t have and I feel awful. I’m a teenager who wants to be a preacher when I graduate.I prayed to God and I know he’ll forgive me but I’m still scared I won’t be able to overcome this temptation. I’ve been trying to quit for a month and I can’t seem to get more than 2 weeks before relapsing. I’ve been studying the word of God more thoroughly lately and you’ve helped me with that. But I don’t know how to overcome this.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (New international version)
