peradona, porn is an addiction, not a spiritual attack. You need to pray to God to deliver you from this addiction so you may serve him to the best of your ability again!! With God's help, we can overcome ANY obstacle (or addiction). I agree fully with Kenexus that with God's grace, you can be free of this addiction. As far as masturbating, I'm not sure what the bible says about that. I don't think its sinful in itself, but its not a good thing to do, either!! LOL.
Lord, please be with peradona right now as he battles his addiction to pornography and masturbating. Give him the strength to overcome the enemy and win this battle. Touch him with your grace and mercy and let him know he is not alone; that you are right there beside him with this. Forgive him for what he's done, and is doing. Banish the evil one's grip on him!! Send your angels to peradona and camp them all around him as he fights this battle. I pray these things in Jesus name, amen.

I believe that while porn itself is not a spiritual attack, it is a tool for a spiritual attack.

From that perspective, it is better to deal with why you desire porn, and not focus on "not doing porn." For example if you decide not to think of the colour blue: feel how difficult it is to try and force yourself not to think of blue.

So rather focus on the sin in a way that will make porn repulsive.

For example when you go into a supermarket and pass a rack of men's magazines, look at the eyes, not their boobs. Is there a happy smile in their eyes, or can you detect sadness, embarrassment, insecurity, or some emotions along those lines? Look at the corners of the mouth and see if this is a genuine smile or a forced smile.

If you see any hurt there and you carry on looking, then you are a part of an abusive situation. This is a photo, but it is a recording of an abuse or a hurt.

If the woman does really smile, then think how regretful will she feel in a few years time when she has matured past this cheap money for nudity phase of her young life. And think about the souls of the women who don't regret posing for men to masturbate over.

How would you feel if that was your daughter or future wife?

Get Close to God more,..
Spend time more with God...
It will loose its hold..
Cast devil out a lot in Jesus's name...

you sound like you don't enjoy it anymore,that itself is a Victory..:)
Do not wrestle with it,a bad addiction needs to be replaced with Good Addiction...
So struggle to spend your time with God more..
And i appreciate your courage to speak out...

Don't pay heed to people who condemn..you can feel it when you listen..
you need care,that's all Jesus is..
He will Heal,...
Fast n Pray more..till you come to a changed life style:)

God Bless:)

That kind of making ones mind understand doesn't make one leave addiction,it can help sometimes though..
