Jesus saved me from masturbation. Here is my story: Right now I am 15 years old. I've been masturbating since I was probably around 8. For years I struggled with pornography and masturbation addiction. I always told myself I could do it. However, this was false. Masturbation is not a mental problem. It's a spiritual problem. To take care of this problem we need to come to Jesus. Masturbation is a sin and will lead to eternal destruction Jesus is the Son of God who died for the sins of the world. We must believe in Jesus and that he died to pay the price of our sins so we will not go to hell and go to heaven. We must surrender to Christ and to God, do away our sinful nature and repent stop following the things of the world which will pass away. Sin is abomination to God. YOU MUST TURN AWAY. Confess in prayer to Christ as Lord and Saviour and surrender everything to him, repent follow the commandments. Study the gospels. Watch youtube videos on Robert Beaker and Michael Chriswell. Learn more about Jesus and what he did for you. As soon as I cried out to Christ I havent masturbated in about 3 weeks. When a fanatasy comes I dont get tempeted. Come on guys. Jesus saves, from sin and eternal fire. Dont feel guilty anymore just confess and ask for forgiveness. Ask him to deliver it from you and just dont try to prove yourself to him and show off - that's self righteousness.
Your last statement is exactly correct. We cannot do this on our own. We NEED the help of our Lord and Savior. Humble ourselves and pray for help.....By far our best option in my opinion.
In my experience, any kind of addiction is not so easily pigeon-holed as 'this kind of problem' or 'that kind of problem'. With this qualifier, I agree with the words I have quoted above. I don't know exactly what I mean in agreeing that chronic masturbation is a 'spiritual problem' - this is something I have been exploring, contemplating for years. But I do agree. Which invites a certain amount of surrender into the recovery process. At least in my experience...
Amen brother! Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy rains Unending love, Amazing grace
