Type in 'porn' in the search bar to see the many threads on this topic. You are not the only one who struggles with this. Perhaps God steered you to this site for a purpose so to deliver you from this destructive habit. Welcome to CC.

Cannot quite manage to delete all those porn files from your computer?

I faced this same question many years ago.... came up with a simple solution that worked for me, ,,

i moved all the files to a spare HDD (internal kind) then removed the HDD and put it in the shed. When the moments of temptation come, laziness works on my side, it's just too much hassle to go and get the drive out of the shed blah blah,,, lets see, in 15 years i have never touched that HDD, it is still gathering dust in the shed. Honestly, today, if i could ever find it, i would throw it in the bin, i don't need it, and the HDD itself is too old and antiquated to be of any use to me.

Tons of people struggle with it. Peruse our forums, especially in the Singles and Family forums. You may find some encouragement, advice, and so on. :)

Not a bad idea! These days the shed is essentially another server, however, and very easily accessible.

I think that practical ideas are good, yet most in here will agree that the real answer is only found in the change in us that occurs as we have a powerful intervention of God thru our Nature and demeanor over this issue.

The answer is found not in attacking the issue or becoming stronger in ourselves to fight it, but to see ourselves as completely unable to conquer it ourselves. Understanding our weakness in ourselves for victory.

And from that premise we begin to find the answer in Christ. For He tells us... "the battle is His", We need to let go of the battle ourselves and offer it ALL to Him, being honest along the way.

You may even trip as you journey forward, in Christ. But God says as you dive head first into His Spirit, that ....."No temptation has seized you except what is common to man, And God is faithful, He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out, so you can stand up under it." [ 1 Cor. 10:13.].

My advice is stop trying anything...and surrender it to God. Sit in things already accomplished in Christ, and as He takes the battle on Himself, you will walk one step/ by one step closer to the more than conquering victory found in Jesus Christ.

It is a process, But the funny thing is, as Satan has had victory in this in the past, and has hit you hard, due to the victory he has had there.... And there may have been days you have said... "I can win this sometimes, even more often than not, but not all the time".

Yet God says just the opposite. For He is a part of all-inclusive victory.His blood gives us that over all sin. And as one day the battle seems lost,........ as you stay seated in Him, Satan will not return with such vigor, as he sees the authority of Christ befallen before you. God will change your mind, you demeanor, your thirst, and He will have you understand things in Him you could never have seen outside of Himself.

God bless And pray, pray, pray, As I will for you as well. God says seek him with ALL your strength, you have the victory in Christ, now apply Him to it thru your will in giving up to Him.

May the peace of God that transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus our Lord!

Jesus always asked questions that seemed... not applicable to the moments tyranny of the urgent issues before the people in the bible, He would ask things like..."Do you trust me?...Or "Who do you say that I am?"....And what we can see in retrospect is that those were the real questions to ask over those immediate circumstances. For it was He that would have the ultimate answer, always. And trusting in a supernatural God, That never just answered simply but thoroughly, we can assess today was the only answer to victory. The lesson hasn't changed still today.

It reminds me of a song that will date me so ignore that part...but it goes in the lyrics..." And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."

It is about your relationship with the Father not the quick fix of a moment.

In an attempt to reconcile...;, I will say one more thing on my heart. This particular issue I have much conviction over myself. I feel that many men today have trivialized the importance of their position in regards to a healthy relationship with Women. This issue of sexuality which I would love to share more in detail privately, is a fragile and powerful issue, that concerns Women and Men in relationships to each other, and to our relationship to God.

I see people who involve themselves in Porn over a long haul that will be hard pressed be able to be happy in their relationships in a marriage in the future. For the REAL relationship will never match-up to the porn expectations. And the perverse counterfeit of God's most tender and bonding act is used to separate men and Women..in a very self- degrading way. As people strive to find satisfaction and love in all the wrong places.

Anyway, I am moved by the power and fragility of this subject, For God is concerned in this area greatly, and we need to see His proper view on it to be healthy in our lives , and to find true happiness towards it.
