Sometimes . . . . . . .

Sometimes, the tools and weapons I gave are not enough. Some of us, including myself, need more. We have spent a long time looking at porn and many times it can be war, to be free from it.

Personally, I would not trade my journey for anything. The victories God has given me have been beyond awesome and have drawn me closer to the Lord.

My prayer for each one of you is that through your battle you connect with God more deeply.

Bonus #1

The first bonus is probably the best way understand yourself and how to renew you mind as well as control you flesh. In this study guide by Setting the captives free will walk you through an indepth course to be free from sexual sin and sexual impurity. The time you spend doing this course will be time well spent. One comment I read for this study course was that the person was able to stay porn free while they were going through it.

After you click on the link you will need to scroll down the page to register with them. It is a pretty easy setup. Here is the link:

Bonus #2

The next bonus is also a online purity course which is just as good as the first one. The author of porn-free.org makes and it comes in 2 parts called Freedom Journey 1 and 2. It has easy to follow sections and there is no need to sign up needed. Here are the links:

The Clean Slate (Day 1)

The First Step

Welcome to the first step in you journey. One of the most important weapons you will need in your battle is a “Safe Search.”

Your First Weapon To Be Porn Free

The first weapon is all about keeping yourself safe online when you use a search engine. ChristiaNet1.com was able to create a Google Search that automatically turns on a “Safe Search.” Many time porn sites will target key words that have little or nothing to do with their site. They do this to get the description or images in front of you, which they hope will suck you in.

By using Safe Search you eliminate that possibility. Use this site to give yourself the online accountablity you need. Also, I have it set as my home page so I don’t even have to think about it. Here is the link:

http://christianet1.com

Part 1 – Let’s begin your journey by clicking on the the link below to understand how much God loves you and the plans he has for you life.

http://fathersloveletter.com/fllvideos.html

Part 2 – Here is the next link to an fantastic article that puts into words what you just watched in the first video. I personally recommend you read it out loud to yourself. By saying it out loud it has a way of changing a person.

http://seekgod.org/bible/letterfromgod.html

16 Power Packed Prayers

Here are the 16 different prayers

http://www.porn-free.org/sample_prayers.htm

The two prayer links that you will need to click on are the “forgiveness and unforgiveness” and “fresh filling with the Holy Spirit.” You can locate them from the link above or to make it easier I have placed the two links below.

http://www.porn-free.org/unforgiveness.htm (The prayer is located at the bottom of the article)

http://www.porn-free.org/prayers_Holy_Spirit.htm

The next life changing prayer you need to pray is the “inviting God to work in your life” prayer. Again, I have placed the link below for that one also.

http://www.porn-free.org/prayers_invite_God.htm

Congratulations you have completed step 1. This is pretty exciting for me because I know that when people take the first step toward God, he starts to move and work in their lives.

Remember: Don’t give up the fight. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, it matters how many times you get back up.

The “Must Have” Weapon (Day 4)

You Have Made It

Congratulations! You have made it to your final day. The first 3 days were probably quite a journey for you. I am sure that you are getting a lot out of all the tools I have shown you. They sure have made a difference in my life. Like I said before, these tools are the best ones I have found over the past 10 years.

This weapon will shut porn off in your life. This is a big step, because some or most of our sexual sins are triggered by porn. I have experienced this must have weapon myself and can honestly say it makes a world of difference.

The “Must Have” Weapon

This weapon has helped many people become porn free and is the best weapon out there you could possible have. Some of you may have guessed it already, it is an Internet filter. Currently, I believe Safe Eyes is the best one on the market and is the one my family uses. It is a service subscription which means you will pay a yearly fee. The fee is a good price at $50 dollars a year, which breaks down to about $4.20 a month. Not a bad price for purity.

Also, on a side not, do not buy Safe Eyes if you can not afford it. If you are strapped for cash please use all the other free tools until you can afford it. I have always wanted to create a blessing for people, not a burden. Here is the link:

www.SafeEyes.com

Many people who come to my site do not make it this far, but you did. And if you reading this I know you are somebody who desires purity in their life and to be porn free. I know God will bless you because you are pursing His purpose for you life. Not only do you get to become porn free, but you get to enjoy all the blessings of it as well. I am proud of you for completing these 4 days to become porn free. Remember, if you ever need prayer leave it on my site and I will pray for you.

Power Pack Your Day (Day 3)

Step 1 Purity Devotionals

What I have found so far is two daily devotional websites dedicated to battling all types of sexual addiction. The first one I will list has all its devotions based on scripture. This is a wonderful benefit because you can have scripture to take along in your journey to fight the enemy. Porn Free is a pretty awesome website in general, which gives you devotionals for the whole year. The link is:

http://www.porn-free.org/Devotions/devotions.htm

The second website I found does a good job but does not go in depth as much as the first one. If you are in a hurry or real busy (it is a 3 min devotion) this one is great. Another idea for this second on is if you fell you need extra strength for the day you could do this one along with the first one to give you that extra power. They change the devotional daily, so by clicking on the link below you will have a fresh one everyday. 

http://www.exxit.org/view.php

A personal note on devotions is you only get out what you put in. If you do have a sexual sin you are fighting and tell yourself I will read these everyday and I’ll be fine, you will be missing the point of these. Devotions are a wonderful time to connect with God. It is a time to lay down the things you have to do for the day and be able to just focus on Him. This can also work if you only have 3 min. The time isn’t important, what is important is if you come to the devotion prepared to learn and grow from it.

Step 2 Purity Podcast and Purity Radio

This is one of the few tools you can take on the road with you. You can subscribe to both of these via iTunes. These two tools are great for learning about what sexual purity is and what it is not. It is a process to start thinking about sexual purity in a correct way. This is a process you must begin.

I recommend that both of these podcast be listened to in conjunction with one another. There are a lot of past shows you can listen to if the topic relates to what you are going through.

The first podcast, as I mentioned yesterday, is Blazing Grace. The show is put on by Jayson Groves and Taff Wennik. These guys are honest as well as understanding. Personally, I enjoy when they have guest appearances. Here is the link:

http://www.urbansermons.org/f/wiki/blazing-grace-radio-show

The second podcast is Pure Sex Radio, which can be listened to online as well as via podcast. Their slogan tells everything about them (Educate, Encourage, Equip). They deal with the issues of porn, lust and sexual addiction. Through their teaching, you will begin to understand how to thing correctly about these issues. To subscribe to Pure Sex Radio use the “subscribe” link on the page below. Here is the link:

The Roadmap To Victory (Day 2)

Lets Get Started

Hope you enjoyed day 1 and if you haven’t prayed the prayers, then you need to go back and do so. As we go through these days I will be saying a lot of stuff like “don’t expect to achieve purity if you don’t do the steps.” If I offend you I apologize in advance. I do understand pain, shame and guilt. I have had much of that in my life as well. But my desire is to see you break the cycle you are in and I know only giving 90 percent won’t cut it. You have to commit to go all the way with this thing or it will not work.

I think you get the point. Now onto the good stuff.

Welcome To Blazing Grace Ministries

Even though you may have not heard of them they are committed to helping men and women understand sexual sin. They have put together a collection of amazing articles that will show you where you are at in you battle and where you need to go.

The Beginning
1. The first article you need to read explains the effects of casual porn and porn addiction.

• http://www.urbansermons.org/f/wiki/casual-porn-use
• http://www.urbansermons.org/f/wiki/effects-sex-addiction

The Middle
2. Next, if the 4 key areas you need to master in your battle against sexual sin.

• http://www.urbansermons.org/f/wiki/what-do-battle-against-sexual-sin

The End
3. Third, is the next step you will battle for after you have achieve physical control over your sexual sin.

• http://www.blazinggrace.org/cms/bg/sexualsobriety

Your Significant Other (Relationship Stuff)
4. Lastly, if you are married or in a relationship than these are two “must read” articles to help you and your significant other.

• http://www.urbansermons.org/f/closing-chasm
• http://www.urbansermons.org/f/wiki/healing-wives-whove-been-hurt-adultery-porn-addiction

Below I have also included the link to the article library at Blazing Grace, which has many more articles to help you on you way. I feel I have listed the ones that lay out the road to victory. Also, Blazing Grace has a purity podcast that I would highly, highly recommend.

• http://www.urbanministry.org/bg/articlelibrary

You can now understand the journey you are about to start from beginning to end. You are going to have some serious testimonies along this journey if you stay on it. Don’t forget what God has done for you and is doing in you. I cannot explain how awesome purity feels once you start achieving it. Let me just say that purity will probably be, apart from your salvation, the area you will be most proud of.

Remember, it doesn’t matter if you fall down or how many times you fall down, what matters is that you get back up.
