How To Battle The Snare of Pornography

When you have battled the snare of pornography and lust you must constantly enter into God's truths to "tune up" your strength, courage, and resistance to Satan's luring. You have once opened the door and now Satan remembers that door. He knows your vulnarability in this area. Even once the battle is won, do not ever forget what it took to win the battle. Do not ever forget the loss suffered in the battle. Simple recittal and remembrance of these truths will help.

1-Everyday I will remember that the pleasure of my loving relationship with God is more rewarding than the emptiness and false love of pornography.

2-Everyday I will remember to fulfill my identity and destiny in Christ.

3-In my weakness I will remember to rely on His grace to turn away from unGodly images, thoughts, and acts and receive empowerment from His strength.

4-Because I have been set free,I will forgive myself and enjoy my freedom from the prision of pornography.

5-I will enjoy the peace and prosperity of living in the truth and refuse to carry the heavy burden of lies and depression caused by the deception.

6-I will constantly confess new sin no matter how small.

7-I will be a good steward of my money to build up my life and not destroy it.

8-I will be a good steward of my time and use it to build meaningful relationships and not destroy them.

9-I will actively speak out against all those you promote pornography.

10-I will view my sexual expression as the gift it is for the one it was intended for, my longsuffering bride.

Porn (the dirty little secret)

I will do without the long editorial customary by me LOL. I'll let the statistics speak for themselves.

Addictions

(Psalm 139:7-8)

Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell behold You are there.

Only God knows how you are feeling on the inside of your soul, and how your soul is crying out to be set free from these addictions of Pornography, addictions of Lust, addictions to sex, addictions to drugs, addictions to alcohol; God hears the desperation of your soul. But it is all up to you, it is your decision, your will, your choice to be set free from these addictions. God cannot intervene on your behalf unless you give him access and let him help you, and set you free from these addictions. You will not enter heaven if you have these addictions in your life, that is why the Purity in your body and in your Spirit is so important; God is calling us to Holiness, and to be Holy. Addictions to Pornography, addictions of Lust, addictions of sex, addictions of drugs, addictions of alcohol are Rebellions against God, it sends a message to God that says God I don't need you, I don't want you, God I prefer my addictions over you. God cannot set you free unless you give him access and permit him to help you and set you free.

Addictions destroy the family, it destroys your soul, it enslaves you and brings you under satan's dominion. and people don't realize the severity of the problem until they lose what they love the most; their loved ones and they can even lose God, if you don't repent, addictions separate you from God.

The decision is yours to be set free or to be held captive in your Spirit by satan and the spirits of addiction.

*You have to repent and ask God for Forgiveness and you have to bind the addiction and cast it out of your life In the Name of Jesus, If you don't know how to cast it out go to a Pastor or someone in Spiritual Authority confess them your addictions and have them pray over you; Don't be ashamed to confess that you have an addiction, confession is the first step to your Freedom of the addiction that has held you captive in your spirit.
*Ask God to help you overcome and subdue the addiction, you cannot do it alone or with your own strength, Claim freedom and liberty In the name of Jesus, believe that you are being set free from the addiction. Bind and cast the Spirit of Pornography out of your life; Bind and cast out the spirit of Lust out of your life, Bind and cast the spirit of sexual addiction out of your life, Bind and cast out the Spirit of Drugs out of your life, Bind and cast out the Spirit of Alcohol out of your life and you can also find some help at A.A. center. In the name of Jesus you have to command these addictions to get out of your life; These wicked spirits of addictions will not come out of you or leave unless you cast them out, Confession is very crucial and important for these spirits to come out and leave from your presence and your life, Ask God to cover you from head to toe with the Blood of Jesus as you confess the addiction and command it to leave out of your life. There is Hope for you God loves you so much and desires for you to be delivered and set free from these Spirits of addictions. You might not see the changes right away but rest assured that God will turn your life around right side up, you will experience the freedom of your soul and the peace from God will start flowing in your spirit and in your life. Satan will fight back and will try to do whatever he can to hold you captive again; that is why you must get rid of any pornographic material that you have in your home, get rid of the alcohol beverages, get rid of the magazines that have women in the nude, get rid of the drugs, Get these things out of your home and out of your life; It all starts with You, you are the one who makes the decision to be set free or to be held captive in your Spirit by satan and his wicked spirits of addictions.
