Hey Guys,

I’ve struggled with internet porn for a long time. I’ve reduced my usage but I haven’t been able to quit completely. I’ve quit many other addictions including drugs, alcohol, and tobacco - praise the Lord.

I still pray and believe God forgives me for all my sins (past, present, and future). I feel like a hypocrit and liar after I use porn.

I’ve studied my pattern and it seems tied in with frustration. I have to admit I use it almost like a drug.

I’ve asked God to remove the craving which is at the heart of the problem but no luck so far. I believe he has the power to do this.

I am married. I have made some progress going from a daily user of porn to maybe 3 or 4 times a month. Still I need to obtain complete abstinence.

I got hooked at a young age looking at my Dad’s stash of porn in my teens.

Pray for me. I haven’t given up hope but I’m tired of feeling like a liar and hypocrit.

I guess if we could quit sinning ourselves there was no reason for Christ to die.

That being said, I’m tired of letting him down.

I think I’m in the same boat as others here. I watch porn on-line, and my wife doesn’t know about it. It would break her heart if she found out. Please pray for me that I will find a way to keep myself out of situations where I am easily tempted to give in.

Please help me. My son Colin Tan, a married man with a 3 year old son, and his wife is expecting the second child. His wife has caught him masturbrating on cyber sex many times.
When confronted, he turns violent on his wife Ning. My daughter-in-law Ning and me his daddy are requesting prayers to ask the Lord to break free from this Satanic bondage. This is an illness, which only can be cured by our Lord Jesus Christ urgently, less he be exposed in public and ruin his family. Please pray that Colin will go back to church to worship the Lord with his family and his domestice help, Janet. Thank you.

Yes please pray for me. I feel like a hypocrite. I call myself Christian yet am sinning against my Lord and carrying on with my false life whilst secretly being absorbed in Pornography. I occasionally drag myself away for periods of time but my addiction draws me back and Satan once again whispers in my ear as I engage in my disgusting habit. I am ashamed and truly want to break this obsession so I can engage in LIFE again.My life is a total mess and even though I know why I get drawn back time and time again. How can I break this cycle? All my family friends and peers would be totally shocked if they knew and I feel dirty and unworthy. I put on a good act but I know the Lord knows all and I can’t hide from him!

I wrote the female sexual addiction article, and, after a while to think about it, pray, and study God’s word, I want to expand on it.
Concerning the “Breaking free from it” section, that was a dream showing me how I would break free from the spiritual bondage that had come upon me through my fleshly deceitful acts and years of sexual perversion (looking at pornography as an early adolescent, also deeply rooted insecurities, social anxiety, loneliness). The only way to break free from bondage is to reach your hands up to God with a humble, repentant spirit. God showed me in my dream that He would in turn meet me half way if I would take the first step towards repentance. It took me a while to learn what true repentance meant because my heart had become so calloused (still learning). I was standing in a dirty bathroom, vulnerable to disease and all kinds of filth. I willingly walked in there as if I didn’t know how disgusting it was. It’s important to learn how disgusting sin is to God and how much it hinders your relationship with Him.
I can’t express enough how deceitful the devil is. He is like a serpent, he is tricky. He will play on your emotions and insecurities if you allow sin into your life. When you willingly disobey God, you walk away from his fold and you are open to attack. If you earnestly seek Him, you will find Him, but that doesn’t mean you won’t lose a limb. That is why Jesus said it is better to lop off the limb that is causing you to sin in the first place. He knows how difficult it can be for a Christian who is wavering in faith and obedience to break the demonic bondages that are formed as a result of sin.
In the first place, God wants your heart to change. If you talk to Him more, you will grow to know and love Him more, and will be better able to stand up against temptation. You will learn the ways of the enemy by studying God’s word. Satan would rather you spend your time fulfilling fleshly desires and then feeling guilty about it afterward, than reading a strategy book aimed against him that will save your soul.
My deeds weren’t done without punishment:
1.) My early adolescent social anxiety is creeping its way back into my life (it feels like wherever I go everybody is judging me from the inside out. It’s like a constant feeling of estrangement.)
2.) Confusion (ex: “Wait, is God really listening?” while I’m praying sometimes. It’s important to rebuke that thought immediately because it is the devil whispering like a serpent)
3.)Confusion pt2 (My fiance and the men on his side of the family apparently have special supernatural gifts(?) He is a Christian and likes to think they are from the Lord. One is the ability to read minds. He read my mind today and it made me cry because he could see all of my insecurities but not my betrayal. This could be a satanic tool that should be rebuked, therefore I’m confused at the moment but still praying for an answer. I know that satan likes to confuse sorcery with spiritual gifts from God.)
4.) Overwhelming, obsessive thoughts of guilt and being discovered. These are satanic attacks, because even though I am guilty I know that God doesn’t want me to live in fear. However else my punishment comes, it won’t be more than what my fiance and I can bear. If the time comes that we go our separate ways, God still loves both of us and has a plan for redemption.
5.) Wondering if experiences that I thought I had with God were really just creations of my own sinful imagination that needed an ego stroke to fuel my pride. This one is going to take a lot of prayer and patience for discernment. It’s easy to start listening to other voices, so reading His word is very important.
6.)The pornography addiction slowly crept in again while my fiance has been away during nights. By the grace of God I hit a wall about 5 days ago and decided to start actively uprooting the evil from my life with a lot of prayer.
God’s word says that if you have fallen into sin, go back to the old ways. I remember whenever I would feel afraid as a child, my mom would tell me that all I had to do was say “Flee away satan under the blood of Christ!” and he will cower away. My faith as a child was so strong, and whenever I would do that, peace would fill the room and I would go right to sleep and actually have pleasant dreams (what a concept!).
Mark 10:15 (New King James Version)

15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are struggling with addiction and spiritual strongholds. Get to know your Father, but know the tactics of your enemy as well. Be cunning as serpents and innocent as doves. Satan is the accuser and wants you to feel dirty, but God will make you clean if you step away from sin by faith and His grace.

Deacon Pepper,

Jeff Fisher

I stumbled across your site. I think it’s fantastic that you’re reaching out to those in sexual addiction.

My wife and I have been in our recovery for a few years. We could not have done it without a great support system and people carrying us to God and getting in the mud with us.

Keep up the good work.

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. Christian sex addiction is the outcome of devil. True strength comes from walking daily in faith and dealing with our sexual sin.

I was sexually molested at 11years of age ever since then I have not been able to break my addition to masturbation. My masturbation leads me into bondage with pornography. I have tried almost everything from counseling, books, websites, praying , reading my bible, confessing my sin, internet filters. But still am in bondage to this awful sin. I feel so ashamed of myself but only after I have looked at pornography and then the circle repeats over and over again
