Defeating Sinful Habits

Ive been struggling with sinful habits that I want to be free of. These impure thoughts and actions I want to unbind from myself so my soul can prosper more with God. My sins involve porn addiction, and being tempted by others to be homosexual. I know both of these are wrong and I want to be free. These sins have plaqued me for years and Im going to take a stand against them with Gods helping hand.

1 Corinthians 10:13 [SUP]13[/SUP]No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 that you can endure it.

Father God help,Jacob,by keeping these thoughts far from him and have him to think instead upon innocent or child like thoughts to keep from thinking upon sinful behaviour and strengthen him while others tempt him to fall to sin,in Jesus's holy name I humbly pray,AMEN.

I'm no longer tempted by gay pornography, and as it turns out, the temptations in high school were directly related to a stream of idols that I had introduced into my life since middle school, beginning with when I started wanted to read books about sorcery, magic, vampires, etc., which for me was dangerous, since I used books as kind of a mirror for my soul, when the only mirror all along should have been Jesus. On that note too, I've also repented of watching anime, so I no longer watch anime.
I didn't realize that the temptation that I fought with all these years directly related to idols that my soul was worshipping in one form of another without me realizing it, or rather, without me wanting to realize it.
It really started to click for me that my soul was bowed down in worship to other things when I read the testimony of a woman who had been delivered from the porn industry, and she said it was horrible, because it was basically people being seen as objects, and not as human beings with a human spirit, and my mind finally made the connection, that everything in porn was a form of role-playing designed to appease the viewers, all of it designed to draw people in to bow down in worship to the idol of sex and make the porn industry richer. Then, I remembered a post Nelly Greisen had posted on the 2nd Chapter of Acts Facebook page regarding Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia dying on the Stone Table, and when I listenedd to their album The Roar of Love, I remembered how the White Witch, Jadis, turned people who came within reach of her magic to stone, and she filled her house with the souls she had captured, who were now stone statues, and God caused me to make that connection between that and idols and familiars. In other words, Satan wants the children of God to bow down in worship before idols and familiar things to turn their testimonies and souls to stone, to petrify them and let death reign. Once that connection was established, I realized that anime did exactly the same thing, making idols out of sex, having its conventions and things it also wanted its viewers to bow down and worship before. That's when God really started taking my mind back to a vision I had in my childhood, when I saw the devil as a woman in a red dress outside of my window, covered in blood, holding a knife in her hand, and looking at me with pure hatred, and He gave me a word as I remembered it to sum up what I saw: checkmate. By the time I had that vision, Satan had already manipulated me into worshipping the idols he had put into my life, and I started to remember book series I read where I felt uncomfortable with things that I read--in middle school--thinking, I really shouldn't be reading this, but not repenting of it, because in my mind, I was improving my reading skills and academic prowess; but that proved to be a fatal mistake. I went from reading book series like Redwall and the Chronicles of Narnia, where the authors were clearly Christian and writing faith-based stories, although putting them in a different form, to actually wanting to devour books about fantasy and magic for fantasy's sake, and so what my soul went to for pleasure was fantasy, and fantasy therefore took the place of Christ in many areas in my life; when I repented of all these things, there was still a hold, and when I was stressed or tired, I would listen to Don Hershman's music, repenting of anything except the cross that came to mind, and finally, there came a point when my desire was granted, and I was no longer tempted by any of the things my soul turned to in times of strong duress. Even so, though the deliverance was there, a key was missing, and that key was the sabbath day. The Lord quickened to me that the sabbath day was a day where my priorities must shift, where I must step away from my own desires, and bow my head in deep repentance for that day, praying and bowing before the cross, thanking Him for the completed work He had established in my life. There were also dreams He gave me in 2015 that sealed my deliverance as each and every one exposed an idol I was bowing in worship before, though I didn't realize this and make the connection and interpretations until this year, 2017. I am now 100% free from pornography, though my flesh does still serve the law of death and desires the wrong sex. Even so, the flesh will always betray the children of God in one form or fashion, but it's dead and crucified on the cross of Jesus Christ. There is exponentially more that can be said on abiding in Christ, and if you want to get in contact with me, JacobBlueTheParrot, just let me know, and I'll give you my phone number. As it stands, if you truly desire to be set free from your addictions, then you must be prepared for hours of deep, painful repentance, and spiritually speaking, it will feel like your'e going through withdrawals. I release to you now a key that will provide a passageway for your soul in your hour of temptation. It's Don Hershman's music. If you are tempted during the day, I recommend listening to his Blood Still Flows album. If in the evening, listen to his Secret Stairs album. He shares his music freely, so you can download it directly from his website, and it was his music that brought me through tears, blood, and painful repentance to my ultimate deliverance. This is the link to his website: Music

One more thing I forgot to mention, the definition of an idol: it's anything that doesn't have the spirit of breath of God within it; pornography and anime do not; they are as stone, and they turn those whose souls fellowship with it into stone as well

I have prayed that God will show you the way to live as he intended you to. God Bless you.
