The question is do you want Him to? Are you ready to turn away from old things and me made a new creature? If so, you need only ask God to save you and give you the strength and desire to resist old temptations! Praying for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so bad about this attitude of mine. Please pray for and everyone who is gong through the same situation. I believe only God can save me. I know you are not alone in this. I am not telling you this to condone sin. God hates lust, but I am only telling you this so you understand others struggle with the same things. There was a survey done at a seminary, and they asked if the students watched porn. Nearly all of them did some and many on a regular basis. This is an example of our technology being used for evil. We have easy access to pornographic material through DVDs, pay per view, and the internet. We are flooded with this filth, and it is highly addictive. God made men to be attracted to women and women to be attracted to men, and viewing sexual activity can become an obsession for some. There are also demonic spirits that will oppress individuals and cause them to feel the need to watch porn. It is really no different than people getting dependent on drugs or alcohol. Some struggle with it all their life. Just understand you are not alone. There is no telling how many are really battling with this. Here is my advise to you. If you have never been saved, that is your starting point. Pray a simple prayer confessing to God you are a sinner. Ask him to forgive you. Tell him you can't change on your own and need his help. Ask Jesus to come into your life to be your Lord and Savior. Acknowledge that you believe Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty for your sins and that you believe he rose from the dead. Ask him to save you and help you to live in a way that is pleasing to him. Then thank him for saving you. If you have been saved, do what it says in 1 John. Confess your sins to God, tell him you can't get free from the bondage, and ask for God's forgiveness. Ask him to deliver you. Perhaps it will happen that day, and perhaps it won't. If you stumble again, confess it again. Keep asking to be freed from the bondage. Don't give up. And remember this. Jesus told us that if someone sins against us 70 times 7 and asks for our forgiveness, he expects us to do so. If God wants that from us, I believe he will continue to forgive us if we are sincerely trying. I don't believe in tempting God by committing willful sin with no regard for his standards, but if you are sincerely trying, there is this thing called grace and that is the only way any of us will make it to heaven. You also mentioned struggling with jealousy. Try to learn to be happy for those who are blessed. Their success or lack thereof has nothing to do with you. I don't begrudge anyone anything they have. Why should I? What good does it do me to envy other people? You say you have no friends. Being jealous of others isn't going to help. If you are jealous, people will feel that. That is something I believe you can work on. You want friends, start by making friends here. There is a chat room where people can get to know you. I don't know you, but I will be friends with anyone who wants to be friends with me. Don't condemn yourself. That will get you nowhere. Do your best, and trust in God, and know that he knows your heart, if you sincerely desire to do right he will help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When John the Baptist came he had a simple message...Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. I heard a Preacher say one time...if you put something in front of you that is bigger then whats behind you... There was a Dog named pup....Pup grow up big and strong....they had to buy a big big chain to keep him chained to a big post... Pup would run out when he saw something growling and standing on his back legs and the chain pulling him back every time... but one day......Pup saw something in front of him that was bigger then what was behind him...this time he leaned his neck forward and took off and broke that chain... now the thing about it was Pup always had that power...but it wasnt until there was something in front of him that was bigger then what was behind him that he broke free. The Bible says ...Where there is no vision the people perish ect...Proverbs 29:18KJV Hope this helps Agape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
