Lust Problems (Adult Topic)

I'm finding that I'm going... "Uhm... why?" when it happens rather than enjoying the lustful thoughts too much. It's been getting spaced out more and more, but being under a lot of stress has gotten me distracted with finals.

It's really just stupid. I'm not banging my head over the whole ordeal like I used to, but at the same time, I need to remain vigilant and not condemning. It's almost mechanical... I think my friends in Christ might be right that I've done it for so many years that my body depends on the chemicals. I'm not sexually active, but maybe taking birth control to suppress those hormones will help.

No....... I've been throuht the same thing too.
Just cry out to Jesus............. He will deliver you just like he delivered me. I have known of cases with some it was instantly, with others it was progressive. Just you talking about mean you are heading in the right direction. Open confessin is good for the soul.

I was reading this website a woman has on this same topic. One day while in the midst of the act, she said the Lord open her eyes and she saw the spirt that was behind it. She said it was the most hideous evil loking thing that she ever saw. She even said that it was short and fat. She immediately was set free and now has a minsitry on this. I was like 'oh no" I do not even want to see anything like that, must have been that, that helped set me free too.
My memeory is a bit blur, but I will try to locate her ministry and send it to you.

these are not regulars demons these are strongholds..assign to keep you at the gates..distractions
We are warned in the bible not to spill our seed even there we are prevented to show ourselves in front of God for certain time..
Now beign in the new covenant with Jesus ..the blood will make up for our short comings..but why do you want to sin when we already know the truth?
Do not let the devil to manipulate you ..no more!
take control of your flesh..cast down all thoughts..the strenght is inthe imagination..remember the powers of the air..satan's Kingdom
Cast down all the thoughts in your mind of these nature..do not entertain them in your thoughts ..do not fix your eyes in the images..take some bible phrases as a referent Psalm 91..46.54,121,any of those..and every time you will have them..do this and pray for the Lord to give a mate suitable to your needs..and be patient..because when the Lord promise for sure He delivers..the devil's is the only one that does not want you to enjoy that blessing..you know why?
because when you have it..you will praise the Lord all the days of your life for the good he has done to you..
and when praise goes to heaven strongholds are cast down...
got the picture?
I will pray for you for deliverance and for a mate to make your days on these earth happy according to God's will.
Shalom,

Thanks for the support, guys! This stronghold is reaaaally deep. I have problems asking God and others for help. I've been in defense mode for so long that I have troubles letting my heart go to Jesus. Masterbation is only part of the problem. I recently got a view of how deep this rabbit hole goes.

It gives me literal chest pains when I try and pray about it. I've had about five women in the Church praying over the stronghold and one got pushed off of me. All she could say was "... So many walls... oh God."

fear not ,,vile every thang must bow the knee 2 jesus,, :clap: :clap: u will make it through..its a process,,like an onion,,many layers,,just be patiant,,dont beat urself up,,our god is mercyful beyond measure,, :cute: :cute:his grace IS sufficiant 4 u,,, :clap: D

Vile can I make a suggestion?
According to Webster Dictionary your username is:

1 a: morally despicable or abhorrent vile as intellectual dishonesty> b: physically repulsive : foul vile slum>2: of little worth or account : common ; also : mean3: tending to degrade <vile employments>4: disgustingly or utterly bad : obnoxious, contemptible <vile weather> vile temper>


This name being attached to you could attract some unclean spirits.
I hope I did not offend you....
Give it some thought.

Hmmm...Renewed...I thought about the meaning of the name "Vile" when I first saw it, but didn't say anything. Glad you did!!!!

Blessings

Here is why I chose Vile...

2 Samuel 6:22


(Whole Chapter)

And I will yet be more vile
than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants
which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

Meaning, I will not have any restrictions on how I worship the Lord. It is a name of how the world sees me, but if getting up and dancing before the Lord with all that I have is insanity and a point for mockery, I would rather be Vile in their sight.

Thanks for clarifying why you chose to use the name
I hope you did not take this in offense.

However the meaning of the name itself was of a concern with me.

If you read jeremiah 20 1-8.
it talks about a name change. Names have meanings, and there are spirts connected to a name.
Vile does not speak of anything holy, righteous, good or speak of things of Heaven. The meaninfg itself speaks of negative, unclean, ungodly.. Your comment reflect on emotions of what you perceived others might think of you on how you worship the Lord. OK!

but attached it to be name you want to be called?

I was only trying to make a suggestion and have you see it another way and very well could be one of the reasons you are struggling in the area of self-gratification. That's all.
It was only done out of love, not contempt. if you took it that way, I apologize.

Is that not what we are to the world already? In the eyes who love the world and not God, we are negative, unclean and ungodly.

Gays riot against the Churches, our own President claims we are not a Christian nation in order to appease our enemies, and when the no-tolerance laws arrive where we can not practice the Bible because of the worship of "freedom", we are certainly "ungodly". To those who truly love this world and themselves, I would prefer to be viewed as a vile abomination. To comply to the image our society is putting forth and being beautiful in their sight would not please my God.

I take no offense. Not a lot of people understand why I do things. Though I will admit that my contempt for this world is deep. Deep enough not to really care about some people who desire hell. God may have so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, but if people are stupid enough to keep walking away, I'll let them walk. God loved even Satan enough to give him a place as far away from Him as He could make. People who don't want to understand will never understand unless God hits them over the head with a tack hammer. In order for that to happen, some people need to get bent out of shape.

I'm not sure whether I desire self-sufficiency because I hate the world, or I hate the world because I desire self-sufficiency. I realize myself becoming more extroverted and willing to step out and change the world I live in instead of praying and complaining about it. I've stepped away from Goth because I realized that they are just as much of a social religion as every other "subculture". I prefer the term "non-conformist", and Goth's are all the same no matter what they claim as their religion or music tastes. They alienate everyone but their own kind.

If I never hated the world, though... I would never have the desire to change it to Jesus. I need this loathing of the earthly ways.

I have this... really deep desire and near obsession to help people, though. Everyone around me has to have a happy ending... everyone. I'll have my happy ending with God, I don't want anything. I know that's wrong, though. God loves me too. I love me too, but man... Nothing else matters to me but the happiness of others. I want everything for everyone else. I really don't have anything for me. I don't know why.

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'^[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
God really Bless you my sister ...I see now and undersatnd what Jesus said: to whom loved more...more is forgiven.
Our God search the heart. when we come to him 2 things are expose our desires and our hearts and we really don't know what we have in it until we found Jesus,
And you found Him!!
You are very brave, despite what you believe,I know the Lord will do mighty things with you,,all at his time
He will show you things to come as much as you allow his spirit to work in your life,
You are not rejected by the Lord ...He is the one talking to your spirit at night ,even when you ignored many times his voice, He was always looking upon you.
Allow his Angels and the Holy spirit to take to the place he wanted to take you .and you will see things speeding up in your life ,trust Him, Jesus. with all your heart.
many torns for those that love.
In your isolation you are seeing the strenght of the Lord..remember the steps of the righteous are ordain by the Lord ,and He approved them.
Jesus is setting you in motion to display his mercy and love for you..soon many will see and will praise the Lord because of you.
Your life will be a testimony for the Glory Of God, our Lord Jesus the Christ.
Do not reject yourself, the Father want to give you the best..
Read Jesus in the Storm...the Key there is at the beggining of the passage for your life..He told them let's go to the other shore.
that is your journey but like them too you are not alone.
He is in your boat.
I know My God See your tears,
He Knows your ways and nothing of you is hidding from him..but I also know that He is healing your soul , soon they will be no more bad habits and the brokeness in your life will be gone ..no more memory of them. He started already..if only for a minute you could not to focus in your situation and look at him ,,,

Today is a beautiful Morning the Grace of the Lord is upon us
May the Lord Bless You and Keep You
May the Lord be Gracious onto you,May He shine his face upon you.
May He give you according to the desires of your heart
May he give you peace and show you his ways.
Shalom My Sister.

Ahhhhh... that's a key problem. I'm so self-examinate on figuring out what the problems are that I'm not looking at Jesus. I'm looking at the Storm at the boat and rebuking it because I don't want Jesus to call me on my lack of faith, and I'm not even noticing that He's on board.

Though I will say that it went from a typhoon to a moderate thunderstorm this way. I'm getting tired of rebuking it... maybe I should just let Him do the rest.

Hi I haven't read all the posts here, but i read your first one mainly and I want to encourage you matey that to me it is a normal part of life, however, what we think upon is what we should be monitoring. Tell you what, next time you are "tempted" give it to God and ask Him how to keep your thoughts pure....

There is such debate about whether it is right or wrong in christian circles and all I can say is that I believe I would have married the wrong guy had i not done it....

You see so many people get married out of sexual frustration these days when they have nothing much else in common but sex and perhaps this is why so many marriages in the church end up in divorce. Who can say for sure?

Just be honest with God and give your desires to Him and watch how he will keep you from going down the wrong track with your mind.

That is my encouragment to you mate. You have been so honest here with us, have you tried being honest in front of Jesus during those times? He is everywhere hey so He knows you are doing it!

The enemy for some reason likes to pervert sex and maybe the reason you are turning to masturbation so much is because you crave intimacy and love???

The movies make out that sex is all a lead up to intimacy these days and well, it is part of it in marriage but not as much as a walk in the park together or a swim in the ocean, a nice long face to face chat, or even a non sexual massage. WE are creatures of touch and crave connection with others..........maybe there are some non- sexual ways you can receive comfort and intimacy for you matey.


Pray about this, I have been as open as I can be and if this does not resonate with you, please ignore what I have said.


Bless you so much for I know the struggle you are facing more than you will ever know! :cute:

oh no i have read some of the other posts, please don't be offended by what i have written and go to God with all I have said!

This is my firm belief, however I know it will contradict others and may offend.

So please all forgive me if I have offended you with my opinion in this very sensitive matter.
