Hi, I'm new here. I've had struggle with pmo for years. recently it's been week that I have stopped Porn all together. I still struggle with MO though. I am on day 3 today after failing two 5 day attempts. I'm really focusing on living for Jesus more than ever before. I'm actively involved in ministry and keeping on top of my person relationship with Jesus. Please pray for victory.
As you quit PMO and stay pure, your ministry and relationship with Jesus will get much better. Whenever you slip, it impacts both your relationship with Jesus and your ministry. Don't keep letting the enemy get in between you and Jesus. Praying for you.
Praying for you dear brother.. keep fighting focussing on God, his Grace and mercies.. Fighting along with you in this battle against the enemy.
Hi had an ok day today. Work was stressful and over whelming. Having some struggle with MO today. But really happy to hang out with church friends today. That helped a lot. But last time I failed day 5 which is tomorrow. Thanks for praying.
Welcome to NoFap. It’s great you found your way to this realm. You might get used to a life without PMO, try to take out at least one of those “letters“ for a start. The beginnings of many people are humble during their first weeks, but while reading this website with it’s great forums and blogs, you might gain confidence in abstaining.
I discovered that feeling bored and being alone in my desk doing work open the door for trials. Decided not be alone in my desk and to start the day with reading 10 Chapters from scripture to start the day with a pure min Also Decided to Stand firm in faith,be sober minded and refuse all temptations from devil from the very start point Have put a goal to have the first 7 days of no PMO in God's grace.
My days are better when I pray. Weigh the results of reading 10 chapters a day. It may be better to read a couple and really meditate on the truths within. I read my Bible pretty consistently, but I fail to pray consistently. Resultingly, I am more vulnerable to temptation of the flesh. Our relationship with God is first and foremost about trusting Him. The greater our trust in Him, the greater our love for Him will be. We trust that he gives grace abundantly for He loves us. Because He loves us, He sent his one and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins that we may not perish but have everlasting life. In other words, it is because He wants to have a forever relationship with us, and He wants us to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. And God is so amazingly loving that He does not make it a prerequisite to heaven that we must toil on Earth and be subjected to insurmountable trials. In fact it is the opposite! He wants us to take up His yoke, a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light (Matthew 11:30). If we get it, this truth should leave us speechless. His way grants the only sustainable inner peace we can find within this world, for life! The burdens of the world are heavy and that is where all suffering happens. In the world you see tragedy, you see people dying in vain, for lack of the will to understand/value love and live humbly. We are placed here to help others understand God's Love, and to do so, we must first understand His Love. And to better understand His Love, we must repent of all of our other idols and give them to Him to cast out into the deepest parts of the sea. We must repent over our greed (idolization of money), lust (idolization of sex/human body), covetousness (idolization of fame), unforgiveness (idolization of self) and stop narrativizing them into our identity. Pray, pray until we feel the way God feels about these sins. Because if we are still in them, we do not feel the way God feels about them, our hearts should be broken every time, and if they are not, we must keep praying. And not pray rigidly, but pray honestly, transparently, fervently. "Lord, I love this sin, and I do not know why! Lord, I make the choice to stop letting this sin rule over my life. Help me to understand how it is harming your people. I want to see this sin the way you see it. I want to know your Love for me in its fullness; it is hard for me to understand and accept a Love so great as truth. Please guide my path Lord, show me where to begin, cleanse me Lord. I am yours." When we talk with God less, it is a sign that we love sin more, it is a sign that our hearts are being swayed into the desires of the world. We only direct our attention to our heart's desires. I must remind myself of this more and more. God bless you! In fact, if you are reading this, please make the choice to pray now.
I have been a believer for 20 years since I was 20 and I pray daily and preach in church as well However I am still having an issue in defeating PM I know very well how God sees the sin and differentiate between our sins which we hate and ourselves whom he loves In times of temptation I fail to see this view I look into sin from my own eyes not from the eyes of the Lord so I confess I still love it when it is presented to me and when I fail I hate it I feel I need to reset my min rather than depend on praying only without taking an action towards stopping the routine of sinning
Your preaching will be less effective as long as PMO is in your life. You cannot lead others to the Truth when you do not yet abide there yourself. I say this as one who destroyed a ministry through his own unconfessed PMO a few years ago. There is forgiveness for us. We can get back on track right this moment. As Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery: "Neither do I condemn you. Now, go, and sin no more." That is his call to you today! I am praying for you and cheering you on toward a new kind of life.
Welcome to this little family we have! This battle is never ending, so let’s equip each other through scripture and trust in the resurrecting power of Christ
Hi.. How's the journey going? I would like to know .. Does anyone knows about your addiction? My greatest advices is: confession.. Talk about your addiction with a good friend or family member. You need to say it loud, speak out, hear yourself saying: I'm an addict.. You should start to think about a person, a really good friend or family member who you trust and love. It gonna take time, courage and it gonna be sooo hard and embarrasing to do it but also going to be sooooooo healing. Don't save anything, be clear and say it loud. it took me 6 years to do it but when I did it.. my life changed.. I hope you keep reaching your goal..
