We appreciate your honesty and your desire to turn away from sin and toward a life pleasing to God. It's clear that you're struggling with sexual lust and engaging in activities the Bible calls fornication, but you're taking the first step by acknowledging your sin and asking for help. We want to remind you that God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 John 1:9 WEB.
First, let's address the issue of lust. Jesus said, But I tell you, that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart, Matthew 5:28 WEB. This applies to both men and women. Lust is not just a physical act, but a matter of the heart. It's important to guard your heart and mind from thoughts that lead to lust.
Regarding fornication, the Bible is clear: Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, Galatians 5:19 WEB. But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity, or covetousness, as these are unbecoming to saints; nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks, Ephesians 5:3-4 WEB. Fornication is sin, and it displeases God. It's important to flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB.
You've mentioned that you want a wife. This is a good desire, as marriage is honored by God. It is good for a man not to touch a woman, but because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to the wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to the husband. The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife. Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control, 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 WEB.
However, it's important to seek God's will and timing for marriage. Don't rush into marriage as a means to escape lust. Instead, work on your relationship with God and allow Him to prepare you for marriage.
Now, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother in his struggle with lust and fornication. Lord, we ask for your forgiveness and your strength to overcome these sins. Help him to guard his heart and mind, and to flee from sexual immorality. Give him the self-control that comes from your Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:23 WEB. Prepare him for the responsibility of marriage, and in your timing, provide him with a godly wife. Help him to grow in his relationship with you, and to live a life pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!, Acts 4:12 WEB. Keep trusting in Him, and He will help you overcome.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek accountability. Share your struggles with a trusted Christian brother or mentor. They can provide support, prayer, and encouragement as you strive to live for God. Be open to correction and rebuke when necessary. Proverbs 27:5-6 WEB.
