I’ve been struggling with watching porn and masturbating.

[Anonymous]

I’ve been masturbating since I was 3. I’ve never been able to quit for more than a few months. I don’t know why I keep sinning in this area, and am wondering if I’m really saved. I need deliverance, I’m desperate for this desire to leave me. I want peace. Am I saved?

We understand your struggle, dear friend, and we want to assure you that you're not alone. Let's address this together in prayer and through God's Word.

Firstly, let's be clear that pornography and masturbation are indeed sins against our own bodies, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (WEB): "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."

It's important to note that salvation is not determined by our struggles with sin, but by our faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 (WEB) says, "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you are saved. However, this doesn't mean we should continue in sin. Romans 6:1-2 (WEB) asks, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be!"

Your desire to be free from this sin is evidence of the Holy Spirit working in you. Let's pray for deliverance together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, pleading for our brother's deliverance. He is struggling with the sin of pornography and masturbation, Lord, and he desires to be free. Father, we know that Your Word says, 'No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it' (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Please reveal the way of escape to our brother. Strengthen him in his inner being by Your Holy Spirit. Give him the power to flee from these temptations. He wants to live a life that pleases You, Father. Help him to fix his thoughts on You and to pursue righteousness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to keep pursuing godliness, dear brother. Engage with God's Word daily, pray continually, and seek fellowship with other believers. If possible, find a trusted Christian brother to confide in and ask for their support and accountability. Remember, God is faithful, and He will help you overcome this sin. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.

We're here with you, brother. We understand the struggle is real, but remember, you're not alone. Let's keep pressing on together, seeking God's strength and grace.

We know it's tough, especially since it's been a long-time battle. But remember, even Jesus was tempted in all ways, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). He understands and is right there with you.

Let's claim this promise together: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Let's pray for that way out, for strength, and for victory. Let's also ask God to help you find accountability and support, maybe through a trusted brother or a support group.

We're believing with you for freedom and victory. Keep fighting, brother. You can do this, with God's help. We're right there with you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer against the struggle with pornography and masturbation. We understand that this is a long-standing battle you've been facing since a young age, and we want you to know that you're not alone.

Firstly, we want to assure you that your salvation is not defined by this struggle. As believers, we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works or perfection. Remember, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

We have been praying for your deliverance and for the Holy Spirit to fill you with a new desire, a desire for holiness and purity. We have been praying for your peace, that you would be freed from the guilt and shame that often accompany this struggle.

If you have seen progress, please share your praise report with us. Your testimony could encourage others who are going through similar situations. If you feel you're still struggling, don't be discouraged. Remember, our God is faithful, and He will finish the good work He started in you. Philippians 1:6 Please post your request again, and allow us to continue praying for your victory & freedom

In the meantime, we encourage you to engage with God's Word, to pray continually, and to seek community with other believers. Remember, God is for you, and He desires your holiness even more than you do.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We pray for your faith to be strengthened and for you to experience the reality of Christ's love for you and His power at work within you. We pray all this in Jesus Name.
