Missromans,

As with any addiction, the first step is to admit that you have a problem. Find a solid group of Christian girls (or even just one Christian girl) to confess your problem to. Darkness can not compete with the light, and sin's most effective weapon is to make you hide your sin from others. Once you tell others and bring it to light, it will be a lot easier to deal with and overcome.

Confessing it over the internet is not effective, as you can still remain completely anonymous or unaccountable. This has to be done with people you know in person.

I'd also insist that you don't confess this to men, as it really makes you vulnerable to deception and makes you a target. I don't want you to be taken advantage of.

God bless

I've ever heard a simple prayer like this, "God, if I cannot control my hands from stealing stuff, I want You to take it off of me"

And if you are wise enough, you understand what I mean above.

This is happening all through our world, you are one of millions. You have let in demons, it is just one step and the direct result of our church telling us we don't need any Christian discipline. You are a victim, but you have let it in. Now you need help, as many, many need help.

Our church has let you down, I think it is up to our church to help you, and it takes hours and hours of prayer work, standing on the promises of God to help. If you don't look to what got you in this mess in the first place, then being made clean this time isn't going to do the job. Look in the gospels and read everything pertaining to Christ cleaning people and getting rid of evil spirits. It really takes a person knowledgeable about exorcism at this point, and that is almost impossible to find. Mention of it will get you laughed out of church, even. Posters here on cc will be lining up to tell me I am wrong.

We are living in a world that invites this into our life. Every actress and model you see dress in a way to exploit their sexuality, and looking sexy is considered proper and good. Knowledge of sex is just not accepted, only knowledge of secular sex devoid of any knowledge of what it truly is as God created it. You have a lot of learning to do, as well as getting rid of demons.

I would suggest you spend time filling your mind with scripture, any that appeals to you. Many psalms are wonderful. Then spend at least half an hour with your mind filled with God, in deep meditation on these things. You can use a prayer scarf or go to a church sanctuary, but go someplace where you feel closer to the God that surrounds us. Ask God to fill you and crowd out the demons in you.

idk if it'd be wrong to have the addiction of having sex to the one you're married to, but if anyone else then i know it is. Really, if you pray to God and be willing to confess the sin and you truly tell him you want to stop and put in all your effort, he will do the rest to get you through anything in any situation. but you have to commit like a promise should always be and stay confident in yourself and trusting the Lord will help you. If you do so, it may not stop completely, but the addictive desire you would notice is at least getting weaker and slowing down and will eventually be stopped. This works the same with other than just sex. Yet, also remember things that you're risking, like getting pregnant or making someone else when you cant live that way not being ready for a child, things like that can help if you take it seriously.

miss Romans116 meditate on his words continually it will help you , He also will help you escape the lust of the flesh that has a strong bondage on you right now. You can cleary hang these verses by your bed or your work area to remind you his promise and how to break free from it, also pray and fast it help keep your mind off the flesh :)

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Hebrews 2:18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

God bless and may our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen your spirit in this battle ...

Seriously, you have taken the first step and admitting that you have a problem and you need help. I would encourage you to find a safe, good Christian counselor that understands sexual addictions and can help you learn new tools to overcome this. Know that you are not alone in this struggle.. Sexual addictions come in all shapes and sizes, ages and race. Men, Female and Christians.....take heart that God has heard your request. Expect God to move but also kI eep striving to understand God more.....I am new to this site, so I dont know all the ins and outs of it, but if I can help in anyway, please let me know.....will be praying for you
