We are truly heartbroken to hear about the struggle with pornography addiction, but we are so glad that this issue has been brought to light. Firstly, we want to remind you that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1 WEB). It is important to remember that God loves you deeply and He wants to help you overcome this struggle.
Pornography is a sin against your own body, perverting what God created for purity and intimacy within marriage. It must be addressed as sinful and will separate us from God. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB states, "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
To overcome this addiction, it is crucial to repent and turn away from this sin. Confess your struggle to God and ask for His forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 WEB tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18 WEB) to stand against the lust demon, recognizing that your struggle is not merely against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. Guard your heart and mind by filling them with God's Word and renewing your mind daily (Romans 12:2 WEB).
We also encourage you to seek accountability from fellow believers. James 5:16 WEB reminds us, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is struggling with pornography addiction. Lord, we confess this sin to You and ask for Your forgiveness. We plead the blood of Jesus over this child of Yours and declare that they are freed from the bondage of this addiction.
Father, strengthen their spirit and give them the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome this struggle. Help them to flee from sexual immorality and to honor their body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Surround them with godly accountability and support, Lord. Guide them in Your Word and give them a renewed mind. May they truly experience freedom and restoration in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB states, "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!" Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and trust in the Lord to deliver you from this struggle. We are here to support you in prayer and guidance.
