safe searchThere are many ways to keep from stumbling accross porn on the Internet. One of the most popular ways is using an Internet Filter. I have found another way to add an extra layer of purity protection to your computer. It is called “Safe Search” and here is the link.

The search bar at the top of the page preforms the “Safe Search” function.

I have designed a web search that has the family friendly settings turned all the way up. When searching this will filter out questionable sites and ones with adult content. Here are some of the reasons why I recommend “Safe Search”

  1. It keeps kids from clicking on a site that may be questionable or have adult content.
  2. Many times porn sites will target keywords that have nothing to do with their site. They do this to get the description in front of you, which they hope will suck you in. This is another reason why sometimes people fall in regards to Christain sexual addiction.
  3. Search engines (yahoo, aol, etc.) can and do have questionable graphics on their site, such as personal ads, women in bathing suits, etc. You can eliminate these potiental lust triggers with “Safe Search“.
  4. Feel better about your family using the Internet when your not around.

Here is the link again, if you wanted to check it out.

**Note: Hit the refresh button if the search bar does not come up right away.

overcoming sexual addictionThank you so much for praying for these people who are overcoming sexual addiction in their lives or asking for prayer in the lives of other.

Philip

I need help with lust, it seems to be spreading now and i’m getting really tired of fighting it. thought i was done with it but looks like my walk with God is the downward spiral. A lot of stuff doesn’t seem to make sense.

Rose

Please pray for my boyfriend who is battling a sex addiction. He is a Christian but he struggles with porn, masterbastion and preversion. He is a good guy and really loves the Lord but he struggles with that and it has really caused him to be confused at times. That stronghold needs to be broken off his life as God has a calling on his life. Thanks Rose and his name is Robert. God Bless!

Annon

My husband has admitted to sexual addiction for the past 5 years (been together for 6.5 years)
his dad was unfaithful to his mom and left (deported due to drugs) he’s not a better man but it seems to have effected him.


he was sexually abused by another boy in his neighborhood from ages -16 until it stopped. and 4 years ago his mother passed away (then he claims it got worse) please pray for my husband, I can see the pain and guilt on his face. He’s since moved out, says he needs to find the root cause of this.

He seems ashamed to go to church,cannot begin to forgive himself or even ask god for forgiveness, he feels he doesnt deserve it. through prayer I see breakthrough (started with him wnting a divorce out of the blue and ignoring, and avoiding anyone from church, he’s now started talkig to me again)
the more that pray the better. God has given me strength to continue in my battle. we got baptised the day after we married, and it just went downhill from there! (we’ve not been married a year yet!)
thank you.

Annamarie

My partner is unfaithful, he is consumed with lust, lying, deceiving ways. I love him very much and I ask the Lord to cleanse him and deliver him from his evil ways. Lord have your Holy Spirit come into his heart and change him. Open his eyes so that he realizes that he is heading down a path of destruction. In Jesus name deliver him, Amen.

I appreciate and these people appreciate your prayers. I believe and will always believe that prayer is one of the most powerful things we can do when overcoming sexual addiction.

overcoming sexual addictionPlease help me im not to say addicted but there are times where i would come across it and i seem to be unable to stop my self i keep looking and looking and recently the things im looking for are getting worse and worse it is a kind of curiosity on my part but i know it is wrong and i want to be free of this.

When I was younger about 6 I was introduced to sex by a child about a year older than me she didnt give me full details however she had a game of lay under the cover and take off ur skirt i didnt think it got much further than that and idk if this is relevant but as i progress thru the years i started masterbating which i was able to stop for an exceedingly long period with some short lapses here and there.

I eventually came across porn on tv cinemax and i began watching it as often as i could eventually stopped that now that im grown up and have a computer i find myself researching sex started out for knowledge but turned into watching pornographic material. its not as often as one a month but could be once every two months if i happen to cross it.

I believe that this problem i have is rooted deep since my childhood and that there is probably some demonic possession for it or satanic hold that i myself have not gotten rid of as yet. i also believe that God has a plan for me, i think its been shown to me that i am to be a intercessor however this “addiction” / occasional problem that i have is keeping me back from progressing in my relationship with God. i want to be free, i want not to have to worry about having done something wrong in the eyes of our father i want my lord to be proud of me. i feel dirty and unclean when i watch it bc i know that i am unclean because of it.

I want to be good so i can feel comfortable that i am in the father’s arm. i really need your help please. i acknowledge that this is a sin and i acknowledge that i feel that i need your assistance through your prayer. i want to repent of my sins and be taken back into my father’s arms. and fulfill my destiny.

I’m also afraid that im wearing out God’s patience with me because I have fallen back into it many times will being repentant and trying to stop and actually stopping for a long period of time only to fall back into it. please pray for me.im begging you i dnt want to be like this anymore i need to be free i want to be clean and set free from the clutches of satan so i can run to my lord and stay there in his arms safe and sound.

Please help me .

I am sure we can win this battle my willingness and desire for change and your prayer with jesus anything is possible. God bless you for having this site . thank you so much in advance

Special thanks to pfala from flickr for use of this picture.

christian sexual addictionI need prayers for my sexual addiction or pornography addiction.

It is something I thought I had gotten away from but I guess not I’ve been a christian since 1983 and I married a wonderful women in 1984 and our marriage was good for the first 5 to six yrs.I had anger problems and I was a alcoholic/drug addict.

We have 2 beautiful children who are very committed to serving Christ.But thats not the problem I am,we were together for 16yrs.until she could take no more.We’ve been seperated for almost 10yrs.My marriage fell apart because of my anger,alcoholism/drug addiction,and things she said I lied about to her.Our sexual relations ended because of this and I started to view porn and sexually abuse myself.

I’ve had some problems as to being sexually abused when I was in the military and I was extremely intoxicated when it happened.It has always bothered me and I’ve even gotten counseling for it,but Satan constantly reminds me of it.

I’ve gotten counseling for my anger and alcoholism/drug addiction and God has helped me and taken it away from me.I stopped viewing pornography and have been trying to be very committed to Christ.But recently I’ve looking at it again because of loneliness and depression and then I feel extremely dirty afterwards.

I don’t want to look at this stuff and I hate looking at it.But I’m having a great deal of trouble fighting it,and it is a sin I can’t seem to conquer.I’m asking for prayer and I’m asking for help because when this happens it hurts in my heart and in my spirit.

I live alone and I’m medically retired and I don’t have many friends.My wife doesn’t want anything to do with me,but I don’t beieve in divorce.

I apologize for being long winded and talking about everything in my life but I’m asking for your help with this pornography problem.Thank you for listening.

Please pray for Steven. We all have our strengths and weakness in dealing with Christian sexual addiction. But I just praise the Lord that we can all support each other through the power of prayer.

 

God Bless

christian sexual addictionA wonderful message called Gain of the Christian Conqueror offers readers a lesson that we would be prudent to pay heed to.

The phrase “We are more than conquerors” suggests that a person gains more in his attempt to reach a goal than he does in actually reaching the goal. The goal itself is not the ultimate victory. The trials faced in reaching a goal strengthen us and help us grow spiritually and break free from sexual sin.

We must be careful to avoid falling into a trap of thinking that every trial we are faced with is a trial that will make us stronger. When we go through trials, we have to consciously decide that we are going to meet the adversity head on and come out on the other side a better person.

Otherwise, we may find ourselves doubting God and giving in to some very destructive paths of thinking. We must resist sin and remain grounded in our faith in order to virtuously weather the storm.

Let’s think about this for a moment, because the idea that our transgressions make us stronger is a widely accepted by men, but is a fallacy. You may have heard someone say that we have to dwell in the darkness to be able to recognize the beauty of the light.

In other words, we have to know sin in order to know righteousness. Scores of popular theologians teach this most dangerous of doctrines! They spout empty proverbs such as “Boys will be boys” and “We’re only human” in an attempt to condone sexual sin.

They tell us it’s okay to go out and sow our wild oats now because when we’re older, we’ll be all the wiser for it. The idea that it’s okay to sin now because it will teach us how to live better in the future is completely false and contrary to Paul’s teachings.

Paul tells us that by resisting temptation and handling ourselves in a Godly way through our times of trial, we will come out wise and stronger. He doesn’t tell us that falling into sin will make us stronger.

Each sin we commit, even the smallest one in the eyes of man, can completely distort our view of what is right and what is wrong. Think of lying. It might be hard for us to tell that first lie, but the next is easier, and the one after that even more so, until we lies flow from our mouths just like the truth.

Every sin we commit not only hurts our relationship with God, but it damages our influence with people who do not know God. We have to strive to do good, and good is worlds away from evil.

Do you think that someone who has lived in a hole and has never seen the beautiful light of dawn rising over the mountains knows more of its beauty than the one who created the beauty and knows every glorious detail, every hue of the sunrise, well enough to paint it by heart?

No! That person who has lived in sin is so in debt to the mercy and goodness of our Savior that he won’t be able to enjoy the good gifts from God the way that one who has refrained from sin will.

It is a falsehood to say that one must know sin in order to know righteousness, and it is just as false to say that our failures make us stronger. Where we have our victory is in resisting temptation.

There are opportunities to sin on every hand, but it takes a truly sound and steadfast faith to do what we know is right. I will admit that a person who has been forgiven after having lived a very sinful life may be more grateful to God than a person who has lived according to God’s word from a child.

But, I don’t think that the person who has lived a very sinful life and has been forgiven is any stronger. True strength comes from walking daily in faith and dealing with our sexual sin. Paul speaks to us about turning away from temptation, and we must do that every day in our walk with God in order to grow as Christians.

God Bless

christian sexual addictionMy name is Brenda. My husband, is a Christian in theory, but because of his addiction, he is not really a Christian at heart. His addiction started when he was in middle school by being a “peeping tom”. It progressed in college with pornography.

After a few years of marriage to me, he became a full blown dangerous addict, sleeping with many prostitutes and having multiple girlfriends. All this behind my back of course. Eventually I found out. Even now he is seeing atleast 2 girls. I don’t divorce him because I still believe that God can heal him.

Also, my sons LOVE their daddy. But emotionally I feel divorced from him. I love him only as a lost brother in Christ who needs my prayer. He always says he loves me, and I believe he thinks he does, but I know that an addict is only capable of loving his addiction. I would be very grateful to anyone who would be willing to pray for him.

May God bless your prayer ministry abundantly.

If anybody has time to send up a quick or not so quick prayer I know it would bless her heart. Also if you have any encouraging words for her, or to let her know that you prayer for her it is always an encouragement to hear.

Deacon Pepper

God will see you through all the affects that Christian sexual addiction has done to you and your family.

Drew’s story is below on how he is overcoming Christian sexual addiction, please pray for him.

christian sexual addiction  My story is ‘common’ as every youth. I was addicted to porn and masturbation. But when I offered my whole life to Christ, I saw the need to break free from my addiction. There were materials and books that helped me such as ‘Bondage Breaker’, ‘Living Waters’, ‘Not Even A Hint’, etc. I also asked advice and prayers from fellow Christians. And by God’s grace I threw away all my pornographic materials and started a habit of just using the internet at public places.

christian sexual addictionBut despite removing pornography there is still plain old lust (masturbation, and looking lustfully at others) to deal with. And so far I have learned that the best way to deal with lust is to pray without ceasing, to constantly read the Bible and to rely on the Holy Spirit not on my own strength. There are times that I am victorious, but there are also times that I yield to temptations. It is during those times that I repent and be washed by the blood of Christ, and fight again. All is by God’s daily sufficient grace.

christian sexual addiction  Now as time passed (still single) I grew tired of fighting and allowed my flesh desires to do what he wants. Masturbation became more frequent and less repentant (if there is such a thing) and I was slowly returning to porn. It was only when I was aware of it’s affect on my relationship with God and others close to me that I remembered my reason to fight back. I fight for Christ.

Now as time passed (still single) I grew tired of fighting and allowed my flesh desires to do what he wants.

It was only when I was aware of it’s affect on my relationship with God and others close to me that I remembered my reason to fight back. I fight for Christ. I am just thankful for this fighting spirit that God has given me. For I believe that one of the marks of a Christian is not a perfect life but a life that fights.

christian sexual addiction  I too am also in need your prayers and also accountability. I am just beginning to studying theology and the spirtual warfare is already leaving me weary. I thought I had already passed this hurdle in my life, but the temptations have returned and is more stronger than before.

It seems that every time I’m depressed I seek porn for comfort instead of God. Help me.

Thank you so much.
God bless you all in Jesus’ name.

Thank you for extending Christ’s love to me. May He reward you.

If you have the time please leave a comment encouraging him in his battle against Christian sexual addiction.

Just read this post on Blazing Grace about a guy who now can’t have children becuase of masturbation. I know it may sound kind of far fetched but it is one of those things that nobody tells anybody else about the consequences of masturbation or masturbation addiction.

It also love the last paragraph that talks about making sure you give yourself completly to your wife with all your mind body and soul.

Here is the link

God Bless all of you and remember God loves you and so do I. Keep on fighting against Christian sexual addiction it does pay off and it does get easier.
