I will be praying for you.

Your not the only one with that problem. There are a lot of people who suffer much the same as you do. But admiting you have a problem is the first step in getting better. Here is a verse that helps me when I am faced with this temptation...

1 Corinthians 6:9-20
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.


Remember the key is to "honor God with your body" and flee from the evil that wishes to consume and destory you. Your not alone in your struggles, and you can beat it. God will help.

God Bless

Hey, I'll pray for you! I know how hard it is to even admit something like that, so you've made the first step! If you want someone to keep you accountable, seeing as how it always helps to have somebody else supporting you with something this hard, let me know, I'd be glad to help! ;)

And coming from a guy who went through the same stuff, just keep keep praying! Asking other people is awsome too, esp. people you can actually talk to and can keep you accountable.

I will definitely pray.

I hope you don't mind a bit of advice: This will probably be something you will deal with a long time but there is always hope in Christ. The best cure is to spend time with God, spend time in Bible study with other godly men, read the Word, and pray. Also keep your idle mind and hands busy by getting involved in working and service to the Lord when you are young and it will help a ton. This is what my husband tells me - who is a godly man. ^____^ I hope you the best.

Maybe this might help you…

This weekend the Lord showed me the meaning of “honoring God with our bodies.â€

Hey, man, I know waht you're going through. i used to have that problem, too. I'll be praying. And there is nothing to be ashamed of in admitting your problem. Take it from somebody who knows, you're not the only one who struggles with. Just keep praying and give this problem to the Lord.

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. But God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. And when you are tempted God will provide a way out of your temptaion so that you may stand out under it." This is a great to memorize. i pretty muched lived on this verse when I was into porn/hentai. Hang in there. You'll be in my prayers.

I'm praying for you!

It must be hard to admit. I wouldn't have the guts to do that if I was addicted...
Before being Christian I was, in ffact. And my friend was a prostitute/stripper before she got saved...


Anyways, I'll give you some scripture to help you out:


Jessus said:
Matthew 5:28-30
28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
NKJV

Galatians 5:16-26

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

NKJV

The flesh is stupid man, you can blame Adam for that one...

And do yourself a favour and read Proverbs 6, and Ezekiel 23. Proverbs is about not letting yourself get tempted by an adulteress, and the ezekiel one's about two harlots...


hope those scriptures were of any help! ;)
