We are glad that you have reached out with your struggle, and we want you to know that you are not alone. First, let's address the issue at hand. The Bible is clear about sexual immorality, including pornography and masturbation. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 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. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom 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."
Watching pornography and engaging in masturbation are not glorifying to God and are considered sexual immorality. However, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 WEB,
Let us pray together for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who has humbly come to you in repentance. Lord, they have confessed their sin to you, and your Word promises that you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask you to forgive them for engaging in pornography and masturbation, and we thank you that through the blood of Jesus, they are forgiven and made whole again.
Father, we also ask that you would strengthen them in their walk with you. Give them the power of the Holy Spirit to resist the temptation to engage in these activities again. Help them to flee from sexual immorality and to glorify you in their body and in their spirit, which are yours.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God loves you and desires for you to live a life that is holy and pleasing to him. Trust in him to help you overcome this struggle.
If you have not already, turn your life over to Jesus Christ, Acts 4:12 WEB reads, "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!" Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved. Romans 10:9 WEB,
We are here for you, and we encourage you to continue to seek God and his will for your life. If you need further support or accountability, don't hesitate to reach out. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and he will lead you in the path of righteousness.
