Freedom From Pornography

I recently read an article from a blog site entitled The Daily Atheist. In the article that I have linked, they give statistics which seem to line up with Christians own estimations as well. The obvious point here is, “How can they claim a real living God and be like everyone else?” Harsh? Maybe. However, this point is completely valid. If the Holy Spirit is who the Word says He is then this shouldn’t be so. I myself struggled with pornography for over a decade! I’m ashamed to even admit this, but I can truthfully say, I have victory by the grace of God. Many of you reading this blog have similar struggles and are desperate to break free. I believe the main way to find victory is to find satisfaction in God. If you simply try to delete this struggle from you life, and fill it with nothing, success is not likely. Encountering God through His word and prayer is the way. If you draw near, He will draw near to you. This is every hearts true desire. Nearness to their maker. Pornography robs us of this pleasure. I prayed a simple prayer and it has made all the difference in the world for me. “God, start a fire in me, or leave me alone!” God initiated this desire in me. Either I would have true life in God or I would be cast off. The beautiful thing about God is, He won’t leave you alone. He will start a fire in you. This is where victory starts. It is with vibrant life in Christ. Secondly, we need to confess our sins and bring accountability into our life. We must expose even our darkest places to God’s transforming light. The truth in the church is scary right now. God’s people are weak and broken because of this sin. If you desire freedom, I am here to tell you that it is absolutely possible, and probable through the power of Holy Spirit in the believer. I hope this helps. Lord willing I will write more about this. I hope this is helpful to you all.
God bless!
