I need prayer to know how to handle/help my husband as he has been addicted to porn. WHAT do I do in responce to him saying he know he needs help& is willing to go to counseling, yet has gone a few times in the past without long change. It's gotten worse and I don't want to deal anymore. Pray for wisdom to know what to do for tough love to get him back on track. Any advice on what to do? It has made me very depressed.

You can pray for him and you can tell him that sexual immorality is grounds for divorce. Matthew 5:31-32.

My prayers are with you, as I know this struggle well, what I am about to share is harsh, but comes from the word of God, I dont know your husband, or if he considers himself a Christian or not, but what he need to do is repent, real repentance, as commanded by God!


The dangers of Porn!]



1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God!

Today we are seeing a vast array of professing Christians and ministries who treat sin that will lead to death as a calamity and not a crime against God.Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
Gal 6:8 For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.
I can confess from being in bondage to this sin for over 30 years, what I needed to do to put it to death. Most in the Christian circles will tell you it’s a disease, it’s in your nature, or you were born a sinner and will not be able to put it to death once and for all. The pastors would tell me its ok, we all fall short, try not to do it again, and all your sins are forgiven, past, present, and future!
This gave me some comfort, as I joined other men, married and single, who were in the same boat I was in, falling continuously to porn and lust, but again I was good with God, because at least I confessed I do it, and am seeking help from those who know more than me!]
But I knew something was amiss in the church system, and could not figure out what these verses meant:
The soul who sins shall die! Eze 18-20
Those who sin are of the devil 1 John 3-8
The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God! 1 Corin 6-10-11
Flee all sexual immorality Rev 21-8
He who does what is right is righteous 1 John 3-7
Stop loving this evil world and its lustful attractions 1 John 2-15-16
To be carnally minded is death Romans 8-6
Be perfect Matt 5-48
And many more scriptures that clearly contradict what is being taught in the liberal churches today, such a Promise Keepers, and those who write the many books to help one who struggles with porn to do it less!
Here in lies the problem, keeping literally millions of men in bondage to this vile sin and their flesh. No one is preaching true biblical repentance from the get go! The whole gospel is backwards, and upside down, where they tell you to just accept, believe, and confess your sins to Jesus, receive Him into your heart, feel sorry for your sins, BUT you will always be a poor sinner saved by grace! God will clean you up later, you will remain defiled, worldly, and double minded, but try not to sin if you can!
Where does it say this in the scriptures? Where are the few who are brave enough to call the sick to repent or perish, as Jesus and John the Baptist did. Luke 13-3.unless you repent, you will all likewise perish!
The sin of porn watching will kill you spiritually, and If you refuse to repent, and seek the mercy of God, 2 Corinthians 7-10-11, and die with Christ, ,Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf. Then you will remain in bondage to this vile sin, it must be cut off at the roots! Put to death once and for all in repentance, then you must guard your heart each and every day, count the cost, resist to bloodshed if you have to striving against sins of the flesh, do your part in repentance and all mighty God will do His! James 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, double-minded ones.
Draw near to God, He will give you all the power and strength to remain pure and holy before Him, you cannot serve two masters, you cannot be double minded, full of darkness and guile and lust and possibly think you will inherit eternal life!
Those who forsake their sins will be given mercy, and not grace to continue in sin! Remember the grace of God teaches us something!
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, Tit 2:12 teaching us that having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live discreetly, righteously and godly, in this present world

Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope, and the appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Tit 2:14 who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.
You now have a choice to make! Seek first His kingdom and righteousness, or your own and suffer the grave consequences of your choices! Either you kill the sin in repentance, or it will kill you!(spiritually)
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fightings, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.]
[Please repent of this sin, and all others that will kill your soul!

Biblical Repentance:
You believe from your heart. You obey to receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:32) He comes into a clean vessel. A heart made pure by faith (obedience) Acts 15:9) you obey and keep obeying, daily, to keep your heart pure and undefiled from the world! (1 Peter 1:22) That's how it works! Genuine repentance involves humility, brokenness and is a humiliating experience. When the true light of God's word floods into your soul, you see yourself as you are, in rebellion to God! This is what godly sorrow is all about. Deep regret for your sin's, a season of sorrow, leading to salvation! (2 Corinthians 7:10) not getting saved in your disobedience and sin's, but out of them, through true repentance first where the flesh is crucified with Christ, and put to death! (Galatians 2:20) cleansed to receive the Holy Spirit!

Hi, I was addicted to porn myself a while ago. I remember watching it and God spoke to me. He said, "Okay, you want to watch it. Go and see ex porn star Christian testimony's and see how their lives are really like.' Well I was led to some that I will give you the link to, and it broke my heart. The stuff they have to do, its heartbreaking. And I just kept on hearing, 'These are my children, these are my children. It broke my addiction completely. These links will be hard to watch because she is so honest but its really powerful. I pray it has the same impact on his life.

You have to change your behavior...
in order to change his...
react the same way...
get the same results...
tough love and strong boundries.
Pray and ask God for wisdom.

Gazza21 has good advice...
it will take the thrill out of it, if he hears the truth.
Most women are forced into porn, for many different reasons.
I have seen documentaries on women who have suffered from
this life style.

My prayers go out to you and your family.
Remember...love the man...hate the sin!
If you have to be angry...pray and shout out to God to help these women.
He will send his comforter to calm your spirit.
In His Love, Shekaniah

Well, he is doing something wrong of course. He needs to have an accountability partner. Does he? Get him on here, if not. I'm sure we have lots of men who can brush shoulders with him (with love of course). Porn is an issue that has a lot of men in shackles. It is an issue that I still struggle with myself and learning to crucify the flesh on a daily basis. For some people, God's grace allows them to remove it quickly, for some it can last a lifetime. It's been over a decade for me and I still struggle with it, but there is and always will be hope.

Nectars -

If he knows he needs help and wants to go to counseling - encourage him to do that.... even if it has been done before. If God isn't the center of your marriage - focus on putting Him there. Pray together, seek support from fellow Christians. I know how hard it is to deal with this and it is biblical grounds for divorce... HOWEVER, try not to go that route if at all possible. Especially if children are involved.

I will be praying for your husband and you! This is a very difficult situation to be in!!

Nectars, I am so sorry to hear of your marital troubles, but no matter how discouraging your situation may seem to you, there is HOPE! God has a purpose in this and I believe He can heal and restore your marriage, making it better than before!

"For nothing will be impossible with God." ~Luke 1:37

God is in control. Give your husband to God, and then "cling" to the Lord with all your heart. He will see you through!

Much love,
Tiffany
