hello all. i've been doing well to avoid these sins for about 2 weeks or so, but suddenly find myself caught in the same trap. any prayers or advice to keep fighting against this problem and stay Strong in the Lord would be greatly appreciated! it would also be really awesome to hear from a mature, older Christian guy who has gone thru this And come out Victorious!

thanks for listening

Lord we pray, please set excelsior free from the bondage of this sin. Lord give your knowledge and wisdom, and let your increase the faith and bless to overcome this sin, in Jesus Holy name, Amen!

Excelsior, if you mediate the word of God, and pray, and involve more yourselves in God s activity may keep you away from this sin. The Bible says to Resist the devil, and he will flee away. As you grow stronger in the Lord, this will go away. God bless!

You going overcome any sin in yours life if you make yours bigger list of sins and problems.And you going pray for it.Satan keeped you attention in the one only.He hold you attention away from smaller one.Its mean you need to check you life in all.Better for you if some wise deliverance minister to help you with that. Because God is hate any sin.No matter big or small.Of course,you must be good Christian.If you just play with that nobody help you.

Read the testimony of Gideons, declare that your old man died with Christ and put on T.B. Joshua on youtube praying for viewers or Derek Prince to get set free.

i think God hardwired us in certain ways because he LOVES kids and grandkids. He wants us to procreate, so that drive and those thoughts are strong. the ninth fruit of the spirit is self control so we need to obey Good and try. all men struggle with it i think. i'll stop and pray now.

God is strong and forever faithful.nothing is too hard for God. "Is anything too hard for God ".

Lord God i pray for deliverance. That this person may be delivered from the bondage of sin."if the Son has set you free you are free indeed ".i claim his freedom in the name of Jesus. That the be not enslaved again to sin.Lord show yourself strong in their favor. May they no longer have the desire to fulfill the desires of the flesh and be lead by your holy spirit. In Jesus name amen.

I have struggled with this for 20 years. Back at the beginning it was images instead of video traded with others on AOL. But that is how my addiction started. And just like an addict I would stay away from it a while and go back to it, some times I would stay away longer and think I had kicked it. This happened back around 1999, right around the time I met my, then future, wife. But a few years into our marriage I slipped into depression. Instead of turning to God for help, I turned to porn as an escape, not as a replacement or an alternative to my wife, but an escape from the depression. I thought I was hiding it from her, but I was fooling myself. But she didn't tell me she knew and that it was hurting her. Years of it went by with me, going through periods of kicking the habit and falling off the wagon. And her feelings for me grew colder and colder. It has now been about 10 months since the last time we were intimate. Just before Thanksgiving of last year (2015) she moved out of our bedroom and two weeks ago she asked me to temporarily move in with my parents. I believe I finally hit rock bottom back in November 2015 when she floated the balloon about sleeping in a different bedroom. I think sometime around then was the last time I looked at any porn. I challenged myself to stop masturbating for 40 days and today will make it 82 days I have lasted. The strongest temptation has been the last few days for some reason. The secret for me has been to take it 1 day at a time and to always have my Bible with me or to use the Bible Gateway app on my phone so that when I would have watched porn previously, now I read my Bible, pray, or read a devotional. I don't know if it's too late for my marriage. But it's not too late to turn from the sin.
