I was molested as a child at church and that ignited a fire that it's taken decades to extinguish. As a female, my drive was off the charts! I could never be satisfied. It almost destroyed me. I wish this never happened to me. But I have no excuse now that I know Christ. Sexual sin is the worst. It can lead to a long road of depression and self-loathing. Run as fast as you can from sexual sin.

I even heard there are women who become promiscuous ( sp ? ) after having been raped. But it makes sense. Even though you feel disgusted mentally and emotionally, but you learned how it feels physically, and if a person feels physical pleasure when molested or raped, it is not, and I repeat, not their fault, they cannot comtrol what it feels like downstairs, but what you feel nentally and emotionally is what matters, and if it is against your will, yes, you will feel worse than filthy abd you will feel unexplainable trauma. I mean, people can consent one minute, and feel dirty and ashamed later as a sign of conviction, but when you never gave permission from get go, the difference is, it is not your fault. So, it makes sense it ignites as fire, a major wild fire for some, after molestation and rape. But unless someone is in Christ and has enough knowledge, some survivors feel like too damaged of goods so what is the point in not having sex. It really needs to be on the forefront for those who sleep around due to trauma how to regain purity that is stolen from them that they not give away.

It wasn’t until I fully kept my eyes on the fact that Jesus’ sacrifice and shed blood is where I needed to keep my gaze and held onto the promises God makes in His word and wrestled with them that I started to experience true freedom and lasting freedom from that sin. I’ve done so many programs and they did contain helpful principles, but truly, I can only credit the supernatural grace of Jesus and believing in His promises and, like the persistent widow, holding on to those promises.

@@chriskhall hey, man! I can tell you that I've never doubted God's Grace to save me, but I definitely questioned if I loved God many times. I was confronted by John 14:23 all the time, because I knew what I was doing couldn't be justified by scriptures and I was too addicted to quit. I've battled many times with pornography, but every time, I've left a door open just in case I wanted to come back to it. The last time I decided to quit for good when I was reading the Bible, 2 Co 6:13 to be exact. Those words spoke differently to me, and I took the USB where I stored all the pornography and wiped it clean. I've deleted all searches and apps that would make me fall into pornography again and I threw away all the vaseline that I used to masturbate. I've also told my family that I had decided to quit it for good and told them all the traps that made me want to watch pornography and masturbate. One of them was when I was alone at home. So I made a commitment with them to exercise, study or clean the place to avoid being tempted. In this battle, you'll want someone to help watch your back. Yesterday, it was a tough day. I had urges throughout the day, but God gave me grace and I was able to avoid it. I started watching pornography and masturbating in a period where I wasn't praying and reading the Bible. I'd only do it when I ate or went to church. Now, I understand that if I want to be excellent I must walk in the spirit (Galatians 5:16). If you're struggling with it, don't think twice. Throw away anything that will take your mind to these practices, talk to someone from the body of Christ (James 5:16), and start praying and studying the Bible more. For 6 years, I couldn't see a way out, but God is patient. I don't even know if you're struggling with it. I hope not, because I know how terrible this is. But if you are, God loves you, brother. He wouldn't have sent His Son if He didn't.

Exactly, "But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed." (James 1:14, BSB). But you don't correct the bad desires by only running away. That's only half of it. True freedom comes when you eliminate the wayward desire, that's what we ought to strive for and it is seldom, if ever, taught by Christian preachers.

@@wendyw3230 This is my opinion, but I hope it is a good one: 1) Pray and pray honestly 2) Believe God's promises. For me this also includes being on guard against feeling resentful towards God that I haven't got what I want yet. 3) Recognize the good desires behind the evil desires. Satan doesn't have his own clay to work with, he has to twist something good that God made. Sinful desire is something that causes us to sin and robs us of the good thing we're taking the sin as a substitute for. 4) Read the Bible - especially for me Gal. 5 and the psalms and proverbs have been helpful. 5) Love your neighbor- this means seeing the whole person when you see an attractive figure- not just the external but the spirit as well. Treat them as you would if you were there in person and you knew their name and their story and could look them in the eye. This will make you uncomfortable when you're tempted to treat them as a sex-object, and you either have to supress their personhood and continue or stop. 6) Meditate on the spousal language of the New Testament. "Bride of Christ" and the like. This one is a bit more difficult because it's all very mysterious and clearly it isn't exactly the same thing. But the desire we have for a human wife/husband is a mere shadow of the desire we have for the divine reality. Almost all of this is observations I got from Christopher West, who has a youtube channel called Theology of the Body Institute. It's great stuff. It's a Catholic channel, so if you're not Catholic (I'm not) you may have to filter out some of the weird Mary stuff. Best of luck to you.

I work with guys who are drug addicts and alcoholics... I needed to confess my struggles with them and when I did so, I started to overcome, by the grace of God and the strength of the Holy Spirit and certainly NOT by my own strength.

Most of my urges seem to hit me in the middle of the night, I get woken up out of my sleep with strong urges, I literally have to flip over and begin praying for sustainment that I don't fall. When I have fallen, and sexual sin sometimes becomes habitual, my confidence in Jesus goes down, I don't feel unashamed, I more ashamed, not because of Him but because I feel like I don't deserve to represent Him, so I go into solitude. The desire to fall into drinking habits picks up again, every sin it seems just seems that more enticing because my power feels drained after a sexual fall.

I’m so glad the Lord has freed me from my sexual sin but these videos have been great because I can’t think I’m so far removed that it can’t still happen to me, especially as I consider the idea of dating again.

I kindly said no. That's how it is done. Avoid the very appearance of evil. I avoid this lady now. I assume her intentions were innocent, but we ain't hangin' out.

Brother Parr, I really appreciate your boldness to tackle real topics that plague the church. These are topics that are often shy away from, or if it's dealt with, it is either too loose or very rigid. Thank you for this. This is something that must be taught early on to our tween and teenagers, so that they will understand the high value God has placed on their sexuality. Please continue to tackle these sensitive topics as the Holy Spirit leads you to.

The thing with sexual sin is that one moment you can renounce it and the next moment you’re engaging in it. We can’t beat this in our own strength.
@e11ionore792 жыл бұрын
I’m a believer and knew that sex outside marriage is a sin. But I sinned. Now looking back I clearly see you can’t just sin suddenly, it does starts with a though like “it’s not that bad”, “I’m a just a human”, “it feels like love”, “will repent after” etc. God was warning me to stop, my gut feeling was intense! But i kept, couldn’t stop. And in 2 months I got consequences- almost died of STD. As i can see there’s ALWAYS consequences after this sin. Its a miracle I survived, def God saved💛 This sin doesn’t worth that price you have to pay after it.

This really need to be taught in our churches,because we always think of the big sins,ex: abortion, homosexuality not that they are wrong, but God is looking at other sins we commit and don’t really talk about. The small foxes can ruin the vine also. 🤔Thanks for teaching on this.

Thanks Al. I specifically kept intently going through the pros and cons and the second half of this vid hit home. I've been married for 15 years so far to my lovely wife. I struggled with online stuff as a younger guy. I have to my shame had a few one off moments since with other ladies, something I never thought I'd ever do. As a believer, we are all far from perfect and all need to know as Al said that we can't change our past but can resolve to confess, repent and turn to the right track today.

The timing on this is incredible. Here's something I shared with brothers yesterday from my own battles with sexual immorality: "1 Corinthians 6:18 says that sexual immorality is sinning against our own bodies. And given that sin is deadly, here are 5 things sexual immorality kills: 1. Time: Each moment destroyed by sexual immorality can never be recovered, and I will have to give an account to God for each one. 2. Availability: Each moment stolen by sexual immorality is a moment that I am unable to pray, prepare, provide, and protect the ones I love, putting them immediately at risk. 3. Clear Conscience/Thoughts: Each moment surrendered to sexual immorality is embedded in the memory and develops beliefs and instincts that serve to perpetuate it. 4. Faithful Body: Each time my mind is consumed or body is touched by a hand that doesn't belong to my (future) spouse, they are being habituated to defraud God and my spouse their rights to my body. 5. Life in/by the Spirit: Each moment I commit sexual immorality is a moment where I deaden my soul to sanctification, sensitivity and satisfaction in/by the Holy Spirit."

Hi can you do a video on thinking about engaging in sexual acts with someone you're not with but are interested in. Wasn't sure where to send my request so I'm just commenting it here. I honestly think this is an attack now because it's gotten so bad (the desire to have sex or be intimate with someone) and it's like the thoughts are so hard to shake. Would really appreciate any tips or advice to keep my mind off of that and focus on God. I havent physically acted on anything but ik sin starts in the mind so I just wanted to know how to stop the desire or thoughts.

Well done due to sexual sins being a real touchy subject right? I used to belong to a church where the pastor would be called away to preach elsewhere. Every single time he returned, he put the church on a fast. Didn't take me long to figure that one out! We're sinners saved by grace and even though we should know better, we voluntarily ignore the Word of God. Thank you for reminding us through this venue the God we serve is able to keep us from falling...but if we fall, we do have an advocate!!! You're a strong Word scholar young man.

Sexual sin destroys in general. But still ppl don't realise how serious the subject of sex is. I had a friend who on his own words had sex "tooooonns of times" before he got saved. He said that it tore his life appart to a point where his only choices were to bend the knees and repent or kill himself. He chose the former, Praise God. Ppl underestimate the seriousness of sex

@vitormenezesdemattos9672 жыл бұрын
@@12Messenger Yeah, is another reason not to do it outside of a committed relationship for life (marriage). It makes the pain once the bond is broken even greater than it should have been. Not only because it creates these bigger attachments but also it can happen with bad relationships with sex making a bad relationship for a good one. So a bad relationship that would have been easy to break up cuz is clearly bad, becomes har cuz it feels good cuz of sex. I know a personal example of a friend whom the girlfriend got so emotionally attached to him (not to say dependant) that she barely was letting him have his own life. Everytime i met him at some point he was texting her to tell her "he was ok" and what he was doing. I got to meet her and i saw that the concern for his well being is genuine but pathologially high. He grew tired of it and broke up with her. She cried a lot called him back crying promising to change and he gave her a 2nd chance. I know they were dating for a year before if happened, and having sex. There's no way if he wasn't feeling closer to her as he would have been if not having sex, he would have taken this long to break up an unhealthy relationship for both. Honestly, as his friend i'm now rooting against this relationship cuz i know how when one of them has this dependence, is never good for any of'em
