I’m 42 and I’ve been watching porn since the late 80s now I’ve been porn free 5 years 2019 in still counting yes I still get tempted. Pray for me please. ❤
I’m encouraged to see that someone has had lasting success. Some days it feels like everyone must struggle with this because I’m making no progress. Keep going strong.
Me too I’d spend hours on end lusting and chasing it and what’s worse it was gay porn I thot I’d never stop I asked the lord any times but I still went back then after covid I got sick an tired of it and was just disgusted w myself and really surrendered it to Christ and he’s changed me tbh I did fail a couple times after that but I don’t have a desire to watch it like before it repulses me and honestly I can’t remember the last time I watched it thank you Jesus ❤
@@JkdiisisisiJesus Christ is referred to as our lord and savior for a reason sir no disrespect to you but even if you are more obedient and less sinful then us we are all still dirty sinners that have disobeyed the lord but why tell someone else following god to not call him lord anyway? It’s great that he follows god and wants him to be his lord yk what I’m saying? No disrespect to you sir i just wanted to maybe say something that might change how you talk about god to others because we want to bring as many as possible to him not make them stray from him
@@Dutch-We-Need-A-Plan-Der-LanI feel you, I definitely do. I had the same mindset, but guess what I was wrong. That mindset kept me from God , kept me from turning my heart over, and we are all flawed and none are worthy excowt by the grace of God and mercy of the blood of Jesus. I know you mean well, but you are wrong. If that were true, guess what, none kf us would be abke to call him lord , he wouldn't be our savior when we called him, because we'd be perfect already, saying this is like saying don't go to the doctor for help untl your well. We are all unworthy, we are all sick, some are in better shape then others , but no one is beyond or even worthy of calling him lord.

Keep beating yourself up with shame and guilt over natural things our bodies crave daily. Imagine beating yourself up over being hungry, its the same thing with s3x. Stop following a faith that uses ugly emotions like fear, guilt, and shame to force compliance. Deluding yourself into a false reality, shallow platitudes, and suppressing urges isn't the play man. Men need release, whether its sex or porn. It is our strongest urge, it is built into us, and if you deny it, you will end up like all the countless priests that are exposed for doing horrible things because they couldn't marry or be with women. Your desires will only get darker the longer you avoid pleasuring yourself. Don't be a fool, you can still critically think and change your life and start living authentically.
Thanks for sharing man. My life is miserable at times because of this problem. I’m ready to be free from this bondage so that I can be an effective believer. Pleas pray for me

Believe it or Not marriage should be a Everyone Thing SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE CAN get you in hell so best advice is to find your husband/ wife of your choice Jesus is way of life is the only way to heaven
My Brother in Christ, you're SO right when you've said that 5:52 it's exactly what i've been feeling "O God im not worthy of your light, look at me im soooo dirty, O God i know it's wrong but im so ashamed of myself im so stupid i will never escape it!" I've been on and off for more than a year now after growing up with pornography, live's a struggle currently and everything feels numb but that's just life on this sinful earth, gotta go through it. God bless everyone reading this comment.
Hi Isaac, thank you for this video, it felt like you were speaking directly to me because I share this guy's exact struggle and the thought patterns he had after sinning in that area and what he would do and think after, whether trying really hard to just say no the next time, or sitting in self pity and self-condemnation. This really helped me, I do know Christ, and I do desire to live in purity, but I need to think rightly about purity and sadly I don't think there is a lot of content out there that got directly to the root of the issue that you addressed. Thank you brother, if any brother or sister also sees this, please pray for me that I would see Christ more fully so that this sin isn't as appealing anymore. I also very much desire a godly and Christ-centered marriage someday soon with a Christ-like woman who is passionate about evangelism and discipleship.
This is good advice, speaking as someone who struggles with this. I'll definitely consider the service you mentioned. I need God for these sorts of battles, because I cannot do it on my own. Prayers would be appreciated.
Pray for me brothers, I've been addicted for almost 15 years, starting around when I was 11 years old in the year of our Lord 2010. I never stopped believing in Christ, however I went through a period of time distant, making excuses, and I was having relations outside of marriage. The past year or so I have been trying to rededicate myself to the Lord, the woman I was with came to accept Jesus and we got married. We then both got baptized together. However, my pornography addiction is still biting away at me, while it is not as fierce as it was when I was in my teens (was basically on a daily basis) it is still an issue I need to overcome (currently it hits me at most a couple times a week).
7:59 as i’m listening to this portion, the Bible App, sent me a notification at this totally random time of the day, Isaiah 41:10, “Don’t be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discourage for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” God is good
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
i have a group of guys from a summer camp i go to that hold each other accountable and it really helps but i also have a personal policy that my phone stays out of my room at night, and my computer was moved to a more open room. and finally God is vital in getting freedom.
One crucial thing to remember! Your intrusive thoughts are not you! If your struggle with pure osd and have horrible thoughts fly through your mind tormenting you that is not you or your identity and does not mean you will do any of the actions in your intrusive thoughts. It’s a deeper self hate issue. But I think what he is saying about you are what you eat is true. And confirming to an identity probably means you worked towards that identity and do things that stem from that identity. But having intrusive thoughts doesn’t mean you are any of those intrusive thoughts or a horrible person. I truly believe those are demons flying around in your head trying to keep you down.
I’ve struggled with porn for over 13 years and it is exhausting. I wanna be freed but feel too guilty to be forgiven. Although I know God has forgiven me, it’s just hard to function. I ask for y’all’s prayers. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻
It’s time for this topic to be addressed seriously. P is probably the number one issue facing men, holding them back from being the man God wants them to be. I myself struggled with it for years and yet never heard it being talked about.
I relate to your friend's experience. I never truly knew God until recently so I thought I could bargain my way out of guilt. It's truly a sad state we live in right now where porn is impacting so many people. It's a weapon against Christ and unfortunately it takes a lot of courage to come forward to others about addiction. I pray that we Christians can show more grace and understanding to those still struggling. It's serious stuff.
I have struggled with this greatly and over the past few days as I have been a little more busy and spending time away from the internet, I am always tempted most over extended periods of internet use. this has been my most recent observation in my pilgrimage
2yr relatipship ended at christmas because she gave up on me and my battle with this addiction, this was a real cold water into the face type of action since the breakup I feel disgusted by the thought of watching porn but I know the devil got his ways so pray for a fellow brother in Christ
Don’t feel bad about yourself. It’s such a new issue as no other generation had to struggle with this. It’s new and getting harder and more addicting. And there IS hope for you to break free and take back the authority Jesus has handed back to us. Cast down those vain imaginations
@@garretreed9709 no one wants to admit that because of the guilt and sinfulness of the issue. Even YT is unnatural. Having video content of one’s choice available at all time is like having all the drugs one would want. And unfortunately there is a whole generation who grew up with it.
Something that is really dangerous to say and that I feel like the devil use a lot is that "Works dont save you, only faith". That’s something that demons really try to convince me when tempting me but I remember this. If you were married with someone and you sweared that you loved them but then, each other day, you would cheat on this person. You must admit that if you really loved that person, you wouldn’t be cheating everyday on him. "Faith without works is dead"
But then the devil can also say to you that "look" because youve cheated on him so many times you cant go on and say you love him just give up. "Look" even if you wanted to love him you couldn’t, your experience showed it. This is an example that the devil can attack in every form so keep your guard up to not fall in his traps
Paul states in Philippians 3 that works don’t account for anything. And also Ephesians 2. James was saying that without the fruit from your salvation then yes your faith is dead because the works aren’t there. The thankfulness and the knowledge that Christ died for you and that there’s NOTHING you can do to gain your salvation. You have works BECAUSE you have faith and the knowledge that without grace and mercy you have no salvation. Christ did it all on the cross. The faith by works movement is the wrong gospel. We are mere clay put together by the potter. Nothing we can do to gain salvation!
@@jeremypayne8816 Even if I knew that my works woudn’t change anything at all for my salvation, I would still try to follow the commandments of God to the best of my capacity imitating Christ. Because for me I simply cannot fandom to be a servant of God but then not obeying him at least put my very heart soul and mind trying to please him. That simply doesnt make sense to me.
@@Luffy-tv6syexactly and that’s the point is by default because of our love for Christ naturally we’ll have works but not that that’s what saves us only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus in what he did in the cross for us
@@Luffy-tv6sy oh 100% agree to that! You must follow the laws, and you need to try to live up to the life that Christ lived knowing very well that you’ll never succeed. “For we all fall short to the glory of God”. The “goal” of being a Christian isn’t to be sinless, but to sin, less. You and I will ALWAYS be a sinner. But once you’re saved, not by yourself, not by your works but because GOD called you to him, you’ll want to change your life for the better. You’ll want to be a better person, your old self will die and a new will be reborn.
Everybody to read this comment- Please pray for me! When I was younger I felt to pornography. I was really heavily addicted. This demolished my whole sexuality. I was thinking It won't hurt me in any way, but It did more worse then I could ever imagine. Now I'm married and got my first Kid. Still I'm suffering from that fooled mind. I got sensitive about seeing woman half naked, but It still triggers me really often. Im not sure if this toughts will ever be completly gone. But please pray for me in Jesus name that he heals me. I tried a lot from praying about reading books, fighting my thoughts... But Im still weak and I still fall to lust. I know I'm a sinner and I don't deserve God's forgiveness....
I’m about a year and a half clean from this but it’s still often a struggle. There’s a lot of content that acts as a pathway back into P. Phone/internet is always drawing you back in if you let it. If you’re using social media at all it’s got to be even more challenging. The algorithm will pull you in… all it takes is one click and it’ll lead to more. You HAVE to turn your back on it. Recognize the temptation for what it is and turn your back on it. A little leaven leavens the loaf.
I haven't overcome it yet but I think the key is prayer and focusing on better things; focusing on our goals instead. We probably just need to accept that we will occasionally fail.
Grace is not a liscence to sin....but God knows that we will....so he will always forgive us every time we repent....at least that's the way I see things....
What does it mean when you feel nothing? No pleasure, no guilt, its just an action. So many speak of guilt or the pleasure, but never those who struggle with apathy. I understand its sinful, but there's no shame. That scares me more than anything else that is said about porn and lust.
@@Haloplayer-yx8hn it’s super hard because men don’t talk about sex other than joking or shaming. Noticing that you’re feeling nothing and being concerned about it does mean something. But remember that guilt can alert you to a problem, but won’t fix it.
I can understand what you’re saying and relate. The verse that describes this situation is hebrews 3:13 where our heart becomes “hardened by the deceitfulness of sin”
Other things I've found that helped me is,Fervent prayer and regular reading of the word. Exactly what the Christian life entails,you find many truths,which drive out the lies which bring us to sin.When you obey in other areas,you get your spiritual muscles familiar with being led by the Holy Spirit.Eg: if you would cuss someone out,and you refrain due to the Holy Spirit's guidance and help,the. You're gaining self control,which will be important when you are tempted.When you fail,say all the biblical affirmations,like,I am the righteousness of God through Christ(Believers).The scripture is full of them. There is victory over habitual sin in the name of Jesus'.Be encouraged
Remember God's Grace, Mercy and forgiveness is greater than this Sinful Flesh body we are now occupying....but of course, advoid sin as much as possible....Love Joy and Peace to all....
a lot of this us good though i would say the humility is important. its important to recognize that we are destitute on our own. and from that realization we come to reach out to God knowing he's our only hope. and as we trust him in our hope we trust that he'll free us from sin
And if you're on Linux, Ever Accountable is an option. Not sure how effective it is on picking up on inappropriate content, but just knowing it's there keeps me from going to unhealthy things. Doesn't block things though. OpenDNS might be an option if you're looking for a blocker, but it's a bit of a pain to set up.
My triggers are those fucking adds that Ive been reporting forever now. They even have a section that says: "sexual suggestive content" sexual poses etc. They keep coming and coming, and they are always the first triggers. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DO THEY ALLOW ADS LIKE THIS!
No believer is totally free from sin...if we say we don't sin we are just lying to ourselves....the Flesh is in natural condition of sin...we are only totally set free when we get a new Spirit body....Remember God is full of Grace, Merciful,and Forgiving....He wouldn't need to be this way if we could be Perfect now in our Flesh bodies....this is not a excuse to be sinful....
Any tips for being really exhausted from trying to stay walking with God like pursuing him just feels really tiring, is that something you should endure through or am I doing it wrong or does it get easier as you go...?
this video literally hit me, I am all of the above and my name to top is also Thomas, as if this video was trying to talk to me and tell me what I needed
This video has nothing but great points and insight, but I have a question of my own that plagues me with fear. I am 100% struggling with, for a lack of a better term, illicit online content as discussed in the video. I’m not going to pretend like it isn’t sin because it most definitely is. My thought always goes to; Will I go to hell if I were to die right now? I have no concrete answer to that question one way or the other.
It is written, For by Grace we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ alone. John 3:16, for whoever believeth in HIM (Jesus Christ) shall be saved. brother u believe this and put your full trust in Him, Jesus christ and you're set for life. even if u were to die you will be saved because u put your full faith, full trust in HIM
So, when you've fallen into sin, you feel like it effects your salvation. How do you think it effects Jesus death for you? I think it's an important question to ask yourself. Jesus died for you while you were still in your sin, and didn't even love him... what makes you think he'll abandon you now when you slip back into that?
post nut clarity is my problem> i dont have it anymore. i dont get convicted anymore. i want to and i want to break free from lust but how will i when my flesh isliterally stronger to the point where im not convicted anymore
Try looking on Google Maps at all the various churches around you, and then look at their websites. You can often (but certainly not always) smell whatever issues they have from reading through their websites.
I struggle with everything seems like, in this video, I have a double minded mind and it's infuriating and depressing. I feel so numb and I need help. I do pray and ask God to lead but I grt nothing for scripture.
Thanks for this identity info. It can also work for any religion or belief. We are all created by a creator. That's why Pope Francis says there are many paths to God.
If I made Good in life helping many people taking care of my parents since 17 and manage a company to new horizon know the word of god. but still I have that scrolldoom once a week do I still go to hell? I feel like I will have a Court balance case with god once I depart from this word because I dont even say bad words or drink or smoke
It says that our Flesh is inherently and intrinsically corrupt and Sinful...but in our minds and hearts we want to live without sin...talk about being in a contradiction...
Dude..its NOT just porn..its Strip Clubs and Prostitution as well. Its all one Alphabet soup as well. Everyone , for some reason, always leaves that component out of it .
Who ever reading this.. If you struggle with this I know a man who can break down every single addiction in your life and on top of that he even die for your sins and his name Is JESUS. Taste and see that the lord is Good!
Here's an interesting question I've had for a while Do you think it is okay to pray for a beautiful or hot wife and course I mean everything physically pleasing I mean, I always hear christians tell me God as a wife or girl for me And so i am try to be the Partner I can be for her ( And I know not everyone's perfect And of course I have my standards on What I would want in a wife Like like for a example I would like someone I could go the gym with So we can both work out and look good when we do it As we enjoy Keeping ourselves fit ) And I don't Want to give up hope that there is for me And that's not Every girl is infected by feminism or has modern morality or have a lot of partners
Erm … 1. 1 Corinthians 7:8: "But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another. So I say to those who aren't married and to widows-it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am". 2. “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” If you truly want a wife, pray that she would be a strong believer who would not be focused on outward appearances more than the quality of her heart for God and others. Any woman with a pure heart for God is beautiful. God knows the desires of your heart, and if you follow Him and do what the Bible says He will give you what you need. Outside of biblical advice, please stop assuming all women have a “high body count”, are idiotic feminists, or otherwise tainted by the cultural immorality of today. There are plenty of women who are following Christ, you may be looking in the wrong places. Allow God to take control of your life and desires. Best wishes.
There is a proverb: the desires of the righteous shall be granted. Another says if you seek a wife, you seek a good thing and obtain the favor of the Lord. Genesis 2:18 God says: it is not good for man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him. God’s provides for His people. He Jehovah Jireh. - The Lord who provides. He makes pathways through the sea, disarms and confounds the wise and full armies. Look into the gospels and see in Mark, Jesus says ‘what do you mean if I can, with God you can do all things.’ Another time, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. And another: “until now you have not asked in my name (Jesus), ask and you will receive and your joy will be full (complete). 2 Corinthians 1 says all God’s promises are replied with Yes and Amen. God’s word is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you desire a wife, if you desire a Godly wife; ASK and you will receive. Believe that you will receive and it will be done for you. Jesus says to use childlike faith. I know that’s a lot, brother; but rest assured, God knows full well what you desire. It’s okay to ask Him for an attractive wife. Just as well, to use your discernment and discretion; that you’re searching for a kingdom partner in her. Honor God and He will honor you. Don’t worry about tomorrow, today has enough worries for itself. Focus on what you have before you; and lay the future in the altar and into the hands of God. He’s a good Father. Read Matthew 7:7-11. Trust our good Father. Hope this helps brother!
Don’t say act because GOD does not want actors and don’t say slave because when you say slave it brings a bad impression but just suggestion and thank you
It’s funny that we call it “watching” porn 😂 . Why don’t we call it for what it is? People are addicted to. “Masterbating” to pornography. Nobody is addicted to “watching” porn
Why is porn always the biggest thing that comes up with lust? I'm an adult. I don't give a damn about porn. I just want to not have the urge to cheat on my wife with a beautiful lady irl 🤷♂️ Luckily I don't get approached, so it's not like I'm in any danger here. I just think there's way worse aspects to lust than some internet porn. I understand people get addicted to it (idk why) to me as a 34 year old whose been married 11 years, it does nothing for me. I'm more concerned about the temptations of Facebook or being in public and always having to sneak a look at the woman in the sundress. Just my 2 cents I don't mean any of this disrespectfuly or anything btw
This is true through Jesus you are a child of God a new creation as 2nd corinthians 5 17 states, and all things have become new. When you become a child of God you are a child of light walk in the the light the things is we dont have to follow sin because Jesus freed us from sin when he died for us, we dont have to follow it, remember yall Satan is a loser especially in luke 10 18
Asking for Spiritual Perfection now is both dillusional and unrealistic...but obviously this is not a license to sin....advoid any sin as much as possible...and put the rest under God's Love, Mercy ,and Grace.....

Pray for me brothers, I've been addicted for almost 15 years, starting around when I was 11 years old in the year of our Lord 2010. I never stopped believing in Christ, however I went through a period of time distant, making excuses, and I was having relations outside of marriage. The past year or so I have been trying to rededicate myself to the Lord, the woman I was with came to accept Jesus and we got married. We then both got baptized together. However, my pornography addiction is still biting away at me, while it is not as fierce as it was when I was in my teens (was basically on a daily basis) it is still an issue I need to overcome (currently it hits me at most a couple times a week).
7:59 as i’m listening to this portion, the Bible App, sent me a notification at this totally random time of the day,
Isaiah 41:10,
“Don’t be afraid for I am with you.
Don’t be discourage for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
God is good
Thank you bro so much you are such a great disciple and servant of the Lord keep up the good work
2024 may have been amazing, but 2025 is going to be EPIC!"
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we make 2025 epic without money?
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?
Warren T. Sonia is an amazing tutor for crypto. Highly recommended! She’s been my Tutor and Mentor for past solid 8years!

i have a group of guys from a summer camp i go to that hold each other accountable and it really helps but i also have a personal policy that my phone stays out of my room at night, and my computer was moved to a more open room. and finally God is vital in getting freedom.
One crucial thing to remember! Your intrusive thoughts are not you! If your struggle with pure osd and have horrible thoughts fly through your mind tormenting you that is not you or your identity and does not mean you will do any of the actions in your intrusive thoughts. It’s a deeper self hate issue. But I think what he is saying about you are what you eat is true. And confirming to an identity probably means you worked towards that identity and do things that stem from that identity. But having intrusive thoughts doesn’t mean you are any of those intrusive thoughts or a horrible person. I truly believe those are demons flying around in your head trying to keep you down.
I needed to hear this! Praise Jesus our Savior! Praise GOD for his gooedness and his mercy on us all!
I’ve struggled with porn for over 13 years and it is exhausting. I wanna be freed but feel too guilty to be forgiven. Although I know God has forgiven me, it’s just hard to function. I ask for y’all’s prayers. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻
It’s time for this topic to be addressed seriously. P is probably the number one issue facing men, holding them back from being the man God wants them to be. I myself struggled with it for years and yet never heard it being talked about.
Thank you. Just thank you man you are a blessing.
I relate to your friend's experience. I never truly knew God until recently so I thought I could bargain my way out of guilt. It's truly a sad state we live in right now where porn is impacting so many people.
It's a weapon against Christ and unfortunately it takes a lot of courage to come forward to others about addiction. I pray that we Christians can show more grace and understanding to those still struggling. It's serious stuff.
Did anyone else think that it was actually Jake Gllenhaal in the thumbnail?
I notice that you have Andrew Garfield as a profile photo.
Needed this so much praise God!!!
“The light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not”. John 1:5
I have struggled with this greatly and over the past few days as I have been a little more busy and spending time away from the internet, I am always tempted most over extended periods of internet use. this has been my most recent observation in my pilgrimage
I needed this, thank you.
2yr relatipship ended at christmas because she gave up on me and my battle with this addiction, this was a real cold water into the face type of action since the breakup I feel disgusted by the thought of watching porn but I know the devil got his ways so pray for a fellow brother in Christ
Thank you for this brother
Refreshing!! Excellent!
My problem is boredom. Even though I have so many games, shows/movies, the gym. And yet I feel unmotivated. Pray for me brothers and sisters.
Don’t feel bad about yourself. It’s such a new issue as no other generation had to struggle with this. It’s new and getting harder and more addicting. And there IS hope for you to break free and take back the authority Jesus has handed back to us. Cast down those vain imaginations
@@garretreed9709 no one wants to admit that because of the guilt and sinfulness of the issue. Even YT is unnatural. Having video content of one’s choice available at all time is like having all the drugs one would want. And unfortunately there is a whole generation who grew up with it.
Man this video was lead to me by the Spirit!
Something that is really dangerous to say and that I feel like the devil use a lot is that "Works dont save you, only faith". That’s something that demons really try to convince me when tempting me but I remember this. If you were married with someone and you sweared that you loved them but then, each other day, you would cheat on this person. You must admit that if you really loved that person, you wouldn’t be cheating everyday on him. "Faith without works is dead"
But then the devil can also say to you that "look" because youve cheated on him so many times you cant go on and say you love him just give up. "Look" even if you wanted to love him you couldn’t, your experience showed it. This is an example that the devil can attack in every form so keep your guard up to not fall in his traps
Paul states in Philippians 3 that works don’t account for anything. And also Ephesians 2.
James was saying that without the fruit from your salvation then yes your faith is dead because the works aren’t there. The thankfulness and the knowledge that Christ died for you and that there’s NOTHING you can do to gain your salvation. You have works BECAUSE you have faith and the knowledge that without grace and mercy you have no salvation. Christ did it all on the cross. The faith by works movement is the wrong gospel. We are mere clay put together by the potter. Nothing we can do to gain salvation!
@@jeremypayne8816 Even if I knew that my works woudn’t change anything at all for my salvation, I would still try to follow the commandments of God to the best of my capacity imitating Christ. Because for me I simply cannot fandom to be a servant of God but then not obeying him at least put my very heart soul and mind trying to please him. That simply doesnt make sense to me.
@@Luffy-tv6syexactly and that’s the point is by default because of our love for Christ naturally we’ll have works but not that that’s what saves us only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus in what he did in the cross for us
@@Luffy-tv6sy oh 100% agree to that! You must follow the laws, and you need to try to live up to the life that Christ lived knowing very well that you’ll never succeed. “For we all fall short to the glory of God”. The “goal” of being a Christian isn’t to be sinless, but to sin, less. You and I will ALWAYS be a sinner. But once you’re saved, not by yourself, not by your works but because GOD called you to him, you’ll want to change your life for the better. You’ll want to be a better person, your old self will die and a new will be reborn.
Everybody to read this comment- Please pray for me!
When I was younger I felt to pornography. I was really heavily addicted. This demolished my whole sexuality. I was thinking It won't hurt me in any way, but It did more worse then I could ever imagine. Now I'm married and got my first Kid. Still I'm suffering from that fooled mind. I got sensitive about seeing woman half naked, but It still triggers me really often. Im not sure if this toughts will ever be completly gone. But please pray for me in Jesus name that he heals me. I tried a lot from praying about reading books, fighting my thoughts... But Im still weak and I still fall to lust. I know I'm a sinner and I don't deserve God's forgiveness....
I'll be praying for you.
That God will make a way for you to be free from porn.
@@kuhlequta3265 thank you!
I’m about a year and a half clean from this but it’s still often a struggle. There’s a lot of content that acts as a pathway back into P. Phone/internet is always drawing you back in if you let it. If you’re using social media at all it’s got to be even more challenging. The algorithm will pull you in… all it takes is one click and it’ll lead to more. You HAVE to turn your back on it. Recognize the temptation for what it is and turn your back on it. A little leaven leavens the loaf.
I haven't overcome it yet but I think the key is prayer and focusing on better things; focusing on our goals instead.
We probably just need to accept that we will occasionally fail.
You've got this bro
awesome video i have a friend thats been struggling with this really helped me to help him
Thank you for this video.
Just so everyone knows it's possible, he's done it in my life and I want it to be an example for others that a good life is waiting for you
Grace is not a liscence to sin....but God knows that we will....so he will always forgive us every time we repent....at least that's the way I see things....
This is right! Thank you. :)
Thank you Mr Isaac I appreciate it! This helped me
What does it mean when you feel nothing? No pleasure, no guilt, its just an action. So many speak of guilt or the pleasure, but never those who struggle with apathy. I understand its sinful, but there's no shame. That scares me more than anything else that is said about porn and lust.
I can understand that. I’ve been through binges and felt deep down that I really needed it. Then I felt more guilt because I didnt feel guilty.
@TyLakeland what's worse is I've tried to get advice and help, but no one gives it. It's honestly why I've just started to give up.
@@Haloplayer-yx8hn it’s super hard because men don’t talk about sex other than joking or shaming. Noticing that you’re feeling nothing and being concerned about it does mean something. But remember that guilt can alert you to a problem, but won’t fix it.
I can understand what you’re saying and relate. The verse that describes this situation is hebrews 3:13 where our heart becomes “hardened by the deceitfulness of sin”
This is the only channel that actually helps me with lust because it doesnt treat the symptoms, but the root cause of identity. Thanks daily disciple
You are helping me get out of the pit
Other things I've found that helped me is,Fervent prayer and regular reading of the word. Exactly what the Christian life entails,you find many truths,which drive out the lies which bring us to sin.When you obey in other areas,you get your spiritual muscles familiar with being led by the Holy Spirit.Eg: if you would cuss someone out,and you refrain due to the Holy Spirit's guidance and help,the. You're gaining self control,which will be important when you are tempted.When you fail,say all the biblical affirmations,like,I am the righteousness of God through Christ(Believers).The scripture is full of them. There is victory over habitual sin in the name of Jesus'.Be encouraged
Remember God's Grace, Mercy and forgiveness is greater than this Sinful Flesh body we are now occupying....but of course, advoid sin as much as possible....Love Joy and Peace to all....
God said follow good habits to overcome
momentary happiness is never greater then forever happiness in heaven
I just stopped cold turkey 3 years ago and I don’t even think about it anymore.
a lot of this us good though i would say the humility is important. its important to recognize that we are destitute on our own. and from that realization we come to reach out to God knowing he's our only hope. and as we trust him in our hope we trust that he'll free us from sin
0:02 “Thomas was an *acquaintance* of mine” as a philosophy nerd, this is hilarious
Amazing video🔥🔥men, let's beat this with God's strength,so that we may fulfill God's purpose for our Lives ⚔️❤
And if you're on Linux, Ever Accountable is an option. Not sure how effective it is on picking up on inappropriate content, but just knowing it's there keeps me from going to unhealthy things. Doesn't block things though. OpenDNS might be an option if you're looking for a blocker, but it's a bit of a pain to set up.
My triggers are those fucking adds that Ive been reporting forever now. They even have a section that says: "sexual suggestive content" sexual poses etc. They keep coming and coming, and they are always the first triggers. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DO THEY ALLOW ADS LIKE THIS!
No believer is totally free from sin...if we say we don't sin we are just lying to ourselves....the Flesh is in natural condition of sin...we are only totally set free when we get a new Spirit body....Remember God is full of Grace, Merciful,and Forgiving....He wouldn't need to be this way if we could be Perfect now in our Flesh bodies....this is not a excuse to be sinful....
been watching it since i was like 7 or 8 years old i dont know how to stop
Wanted to join covenant eyes but it isn't free... what about those of us that what to be helped by that program but have no money
Any tips for being really exhausted from trying to stay walking with God like pursuing him just feels really tiring, is that something you should endure through or am I doing it wrong or does it get easier as you go...?
💯 so true
this video literally hit me, I am all of the above and my name to top is also Thomas, as if this video was trying to talk to me and tell me what I needed
I don't use porn, but I'll keep this in mind.
you are one of the lucky ones.
@@4ft3rburn3ri wouldn’t say it’s luck.
Many people struggle with this, including me
This is noted big time
Amen brother!
This video has nothing but great points and insight, but I have a question of my own that plagues me with fear. I am 100% struggling with, for a lack of a better term, illicit online content as discussed in the video. I’m not going to pretend like it isn’t sin because it most definitely is. My thought always goes to; Will I go to hell if I were to die right now? I have no concrete answer to that question one way or the other.
It is written, For by Grace we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
John 3:16, for whoever believeth in HIM (Jesus Christ) shall be saved.
brother u believe this and put your full trust in Him, Jesus christ and you're set for life. even if u were to die you will be saved because u put your full faith, full trust in HIM
So, when you've fallen into sin, you feel like it effects your salvation.
How do you think it effects Jesus death for you?
I think it's an important question to ask yourself.
Jesus died for you while you were still in your sin, and didn't even love him... what makes you think he'll abandon you now when you slip back into that?
This is very helpful
Thank you sir ❤
post nut clarity is my problem> i dont have it anymore. i dont get convicted anymore. i want to and i want to break free from lust but how will i when my flesh isliterally stronger to the point where im not convicted anymore
My biggest obstacle is finding a bible believing local church where i live. I'm really up against it.
Try looking on Google Maps at all the various churches around you, and then look at their websites. You can often (but certainly not always) smell whatever issues they have from reading through their websites.
what should I do if I don't need Porn to be tempted or to commit the sin
get a wife lol, i read easypeasy for me it helped im now 2 month free. the longer you do abstain the less of a mind grip it has, avoid edging.
What makes you commit the sin if you don’t mind?
@@undeniabletruth3550marriage for sex? XD maybe in the beginning. Before long, he is watching porn again.
I struggle with everything seems like, in this video, I have a double minded mind and it's infuriating and depressing. I feel so numb and I need help.
I do pray and ask God to lead but I grt nothing for scripture.
Shit, I am in this cycle right now.
that is me, thank you
Thanks for this identity info. It can also work for any religion or belief. We are all created by a creator. That's why Pope Francis says there are many paths to God.
@Phillipsmith. Jesus is The Only Truth. All others Religon is Fake
There is only one path to God and that's through Jesus. The pope is a wicked man.
If I made Good in life helping many people taking care of my parents since 17 and manage a company to new horizon know the word of god. but still I have that scrolldoom once a week do I still go to hell? I feel like I will have a Court balance case with god once I depart from this word because I dont even say bad words or drink or smoke
i cant get the thing but i'll try again
It says that our Flesh is inherently and intrinsically corrupt and Sinful...but in our minds and hearts we want to live without sin...talk about being in a contradiction...
Dude..its NOT just porn..its Strip Clubs and Prostitution as well. Its all one Alphabet soup as well. Everyone , for some reason, always leaves that component out of it .
Why are you deleting posts that disagree with you?
He is afraid to lose his sponsors.
AMEN
Bro do meditation for 30 minutes or 1hour
I HAVE NUN TO HIDEEE
mano eu me recuso a assistir isso agora, vou deixar pra depois, eu to com medo pra caralho, sério mano, n to brincando
Who ever reading this.. If you struggle with this I know a man who can break down every single addiction in your life and on top of that he even die for your sins and his name Is JESUS. Taste and see that the lord is Good!
Here's an interesting question I've had for a while
Do you think it is okay to pray for a beautiful or hot wife and course I mean everything physically pleasing
I mean, I always hear christians tell me God as a wife or girl for me
And so i am try to be the Partner I can be for her
( And I know not everyone's perfect And of course I have my standards on What I would want in a wife Like like for a example I would like someone I could go the gym with So we can both work out and look good when we do it As we enjoy Keeping ourselves fit )
And I don't Want to give up hope that there is for me And that's not Every girl is infected by feminism or has modern morality or have a lot of partners
Prayer does nothing. Grow up and actually talk to people you find attractive.
@@WillyPhonkenatheism = nothing
Erm …
1. 1 Corinthians 7:8: "But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another. So I say to those who aren't married and to widows-it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am".
2. “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.”
If you truly want a wife, pray that she would be a strong believer who would not be focused on outward appearances more than the quality of her heart for God and others. Any woman with a pure heart for God is beautiful.
God knows the desires of your heart, and if you follow Him and do what the Bible says He will give you what you need.
Outside of biblical advice, please stop assuming all women have a “high body count”, are idiotic feminists, or otherwise tainted by the cultural immorality of today. There are plenty of women who are following Christ, you may be looking in the wrong places. Allow God to take control of your life and desires.
Best wishes.
@@WillyPhonkenyou are wrong on a lot of things
There is a proverb: the desires of the righteous shall be granted.
Another says if you seek a wife, you seek a good thing and obtain the favor of the Lord.
Genesis 2:18 God says: it is not good for man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him.
God’s provides for His people. He Jehovah Jireh. - The Lord who provides. He makes pathways through the sea, disarms and confounds the wise and full armies.
Look into the gospels and see in Mark, Jesus says ‘what do you mean if I can, with God you can do all things.’
Another time, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
And another: “until now you have not asked in my name (Jesus), ask and you will receive and your joy will be full (complete).
2 Corinthians 1 says all God’s promises are replied with Yes and Amen.
God’s word is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you desire a wife, if you desire a Godly wife; ASK and you will receive. Believe that you will receive and it will be done for you. Jesus says to use childlike faith.
I know that’s a lot, brother; but rest assured, God knows full well what you desire. It’s okay to ask Him for an attractive wife. Just as well, to use your discernment and discretion; that you’re searching for a kingdom partner in her. Honor God and He will honor you.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, today has enough worries for itself. Focus on what you have before you; and lay the future in the altar and into the hands of God. He’s a good Father. Read Matthew 7:7-11. Trust our good Father.
Hope this helps brother!
Don’t say act because GOD does not want actors and don’t say slave because when you say slave it brings a bad impression but just suggestion and thank you
It’s funny that we call it “watching” porn 😂 . Why don’t we call it for what it is? People are addicted to. “Masterbating” to pornography. Nobody is addicted to “watching” porn
Amen ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
IM A READER
Why is porn always the biggest
thing that comes up with lust? I'm an adult. I don't give a damn about porn. I just want to not have the urge to cheat on my wife with a beautiful lady irl 🤷♂️
Luckily I don't get approached, so it's not like I'm in any danger here.
I just think there's way worse aspects to lust than some internet porn.
I understand people get addicted to it (idk why) to me as a 34 year old whose been married 11 years, it does nothing for me.
I'm more concerned about the temptations of Facebook or being in public and always having to sneak a look at the woman in the sundress.
Just my 2 cents
I don't mean any of this disrespectfuly or anything btw
You look like Jake Gyllenhaal
This is true through Jesus you are a child of God a new creation as 2nd corinthians 5 17 states, and all things have become new. When you become a child of God you are a child of light walk in the the light the things is we dont have to follow sin because Jesus freed us from sin when he died for us, we dont have to follow it, remember yall Satan is a loser especially in luke 10 18
Am I the only one who thinks this guy looks a lot like John from The Chosen?
I can see it
Asking for Spiritual Perfection now is both dillusional and unrealistic...but obviously this is not a license to sin....advoid any sin as much as possible...and put the rest under God's Love, Mercy ,and Grace.....
