How to overcome porn & masturbation

Many Christians are secretly addicted to porn & masturbation. The wider world has pretty much stopped trying to resist porn and masturbation.

There’s no point me pontificating about how bad it is. Here are real world testimonies explaining the damaging effects of porn upon women.

Here is God’s point of view on porn and masturbation:

Matthew 5:28 King James Version (KJV)

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

If you’re looking at porn, you’re committing adultery. When you masturbate, you’re defiling your body:

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

¹⁹What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

²⁰For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Why are you defiling your body when you masturbate? Because you are fornicating with the woman that is in your head when you masturbate. There are some of you who will argue that you can masturbate without thinking of a woman, man or animal. Well, even if you can do so you are probably defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit. Personally, I don’t believe you should masturbate because it leads to temptation and back to the cycle of porn and masturbation.

On to the practical aspect: There are four basic steps to overcoming porn and masturbation in your life. I’m setting these out because I noticed a lot of Christians trying to resist the devil with their own strength. Bad mistake.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 King James Version (KJV)

³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

⁴(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )

The below steps will show you exactly how to pull down strong holds:

Step 1 - Accept Jesus Christ	Select
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Why? Jesus is the name above all names and only his name can deliver you. Philippians 2:8-11 King James Version (KJV) ⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. ⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; ¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. I know of only one way you can bring porn and masturbation under submission and that is the name of Jesus. I don’t think it matters how disciplined you are as a person. There is little to zero chance you can overcome porn on your own because the things in the spiritual realm overwhelms the things of the physical realm. Even if you’re able to overcome porn on your own, I suspect you will have developed a replacement habit, which also needs to be dealt with spiritually.

Step 1 - Accept Jesus Christ

Step 2 - Confess your sins	Select
Confess all your sins to God the father in Jesus’ name. It has to be genuine repentance, without a hint of pride. Say you’re sorry for all the things you’ve done to God (never to men). Then forgive everyone that has sinned against you, so that God can forgive you. Then ask God to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. You’re doing this: 1 John 1:9 King James Version (KJV) ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Now that you’ve genuinely repented, get rid of any magazines, toys and adult material you have in the house. These things are temptations. Do NOT watch mainstream TV, especially MTV, Big Bang Theory and any program that contains sexual innuendo.

Step 2 - Confess your sins

Step 3 - Go on the attack against porn and masturbation	Select
Now you’re authorised to skewer the strongholds that are in your flesh. (The biblical principles are described in this video.) Pray and command out the spiritual forces in the name of Jesus. God will fight your battles and you will obtain victory. Here is how to do this: Bind the strong demons first: “In the name of Jesus Christ I bind the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places and all the strong demons. Whatever is bound on earth is also bound in heaven.” Now attack the spirit of lust: “In the name of Jesus Christ I rebuke the spirit of lust. In the name of Jesus I remove all the fluids that give you power. In the name of Jesus I break all the curses that are in my life. In the name of Jesus I break all the intergenerational curses on both sides of my parents going back 50 generations. I break every single soul tie right now in the name of Jesus. I step on the spirit of lust to bruise your head and shatter your being. In the name of Jesus I ask legions of angels to hook into the spirit of lust, to rip it apart and send them all to the pit. I command fire from heaven to consume the spirit of lust and I come against you by the authority given to me by Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus I dismember your left hand and left leg. Father in heaven, I give thanks to you for your mighty deeds and for sending your spiritual power to rescue me. Thank-you Jesus for giving me the authority over the forces of darkness. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen” Here are examples of prayers that this man of God uses to cast out lust demons: deliverance from lust. Do this every time you get a lustful thought and you will be free from porn and masturbation before long. Some people are immediately delivered overnight. For others, it takes a few weeks. It really shouldn’t take more than 12 months if you’ve gotten rid of temptations, repented and casted out all the demons of lust. Who your friends are also matter. If they don’t know God, they will drag you down. Combine the above prayer with food fasting for extra spiritual power. Note: The prayer above works when you are obedient to God. You can adapt the above prayer to deal with all aspects of your life: cigarettes, drugs, illnesses, depression etc. Use this prayer: One prayer… Why does the prayer work? It’s a universal spiritual law. Philippians 2:10 King James Version (KJV) ¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Absolutely everything in the universe comes under submission to the name of Jesus Christ. You must speak commands: When you utter the name of Jesus Christ, God the Father sends his angels immediately to help you in the spiritual realm because you are his child. You may not see anything in the physical realm yet but understand that it has already been done in the spiritual realm. This is faith: Knowing that God has already acted on your behalf. Faith is also a process. Keep applying the prayer all day, everyday until the things in the spiritual realm are manifested in the physical realm. By the way, don’t bother praying for anything unrighteous, God does not hear the prayers of sinners. John 9:31 King James Version (KJV) ³¹Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Step 4 - Learn about God	Select
In step 1 you entered into a contract with Jesus Christ under God’s new covenant with man. Read the Bible (Matthew to Revelation) and perfect your faith by walking in the Spirit of God. Derek Prince can help you with understanding the Bible. Jeremiah 7:23King James Version (KJV) ²³But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. If you go back to porn and masturbation, the scripture is clear that 7 more spirits more wicked than itself will return: Matthew 12:43-45 King James Version (KJV) ⁴³When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. ⁴⁴Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. ⁴⁵Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. If you continue sinning, I’m pretty sure the spirits will eventually try to kill you. If you think all this is hocus pocus, test it out yourself. Try to go without porn and masturbation for 6 months on your own strength then try it in the name of Jesus Christ. Also check out these videos. God bless and God speed. You can be free from porn and masturbation. If you need encouragement watch the video below or contact me.

Step 4 - Learn about God

Blockages	Select
If you are not experiencing the power of God in your life, these are common blockages: You have not claimed your victory. The spiritual battle is God’s and he has already defeated satan but you must claim the victory in your life by binding the spiritual forces that are impacting on you, whether it be porn, sickness, depression or whatever the stronghold is. You must make a demand of the promises that are due you and then take hold of it. You have not humbled yourself before God. Typically, you are still asking questions such as: “If God is so powerful, why is there sin in the world?” or “If God loves us, why did he invent eternal punishment in hell?” or “God is unfair.” If you are in this category, God will resist you all day everyday and he will continue to let you fester in your pride until you are crushed spiritually, financially, mentally and physically. That’s his way of loving his children. He chastens those whom he loves. You do not have enough faith in God. Jesus could not heal people in his hometown even though he is the Son of God. To increase your faith, understand that when prayer is spoken via commanding the spirits (in accordance with the Bible), spiritual events have already happened. The manifestation of the spiritual realm in the physical realm occurs via repeated prayer. Secondly, watch deliverance and healing videos and know in your heart that God is real. Thirdly, understand that God loves you as much as he loves his apostles and he wants to deliver breakthrough to you. Lastly, be a doer: Learn how to fast (drink water only) and also pray ceaselessly. Submit to God. Your life is lawless, in that you have not submitted yourself to the authority of God. It’s okay if you are still battling sin but your heart must acknowledge that Jesus Christ is your Lord and saviour and you are confessing your sins to God daily (never to men). If you are living in sin and have done nothing about it, God may not work in your life. For example, if you are having sex with someone who you are not married to, you really should remedy the situation first. However, God is mighty and does whatever he wants: I’ve seen and heard testimonies of people who said that God instantly healed them of cigarette, drug and alcohol addictions. I’ve also seen a testimony from a lady who was converted by Jesus himself, whilst supporting herself in the sex industry. She ended up quitting because her new heart and mind could not cope with sex work. Does this mean you should continue living in sin? I don’t think that’s likely to work because you still love your sin. It’s more likely that God will send you an STD or if you are a smoker, lung cancer, as a wakeup call. In some cases you may have done the above things and still not feel God’s transformative power. In these cases, get in touch with a very righteous, holy man of God and get prayer because more likely than not there is a very powerful demonic stronghold in you that is blocking you from receiving God’s promises. Who can you contact? Get in touch with Chris Lasala, John Zavlaris, Genoark (aka Alfred) or if you can afford to fly to Nigeria, TB Joshua (try one of these online prayers). Definitely try prayer and fasting. Fast only with water. Start with one day then two days then three days, and read the Bible during your fast days. True power What constitutes a true demonstration of the power and of the Spirit of God? Deliverance from demons resulting in repentance. We should be able to see the demon depart via yawns, burps, screaming, coughing etc. The person praises Jesus and reports feeling perfect, light, happy or fulfilled. Healing from severe ailments resulting in God being glorified, ideally with medical documents backing up those claims. Near Death Experience testimonies from people who were in cardiac arrest for an extended duration (more than 30 minutes) or were medically brain dead. They then return to their bodies and are miraculously healed physically and their brains are not impaired. False power What is not a demonstration of the power and of the Spirit of God? Spirituality for spirituality’s sake – shaking, laughing uncontrollably, so called being “drunk” in the spirit. Getting “slain in the spirit” by a force, which may or may not be the Holy Spirit. After such an event, you should never be feeling negative or fall away from the things of God. Your life should not take a turn for the worse. You should be loving God more. Someone lays hands on you and you get a feeling that is like an electric shock and then you may or may not end up on the floor in spasms. The Holy Spirit is gentle like a dove. God has no need to electrocute you. He cleanses with purifying fire. Prophecy that does not come true. There are so many prophets out there and you must test everyone in accordance with scripture. If the prophecy is fuzzy, avoid it. Fuzzy prophecy sounds like this, “I see a tremendous up swelling in the people of many nations. God is doing a mighty work and he will transform.” This is not prophecy. We already know God is working. Also avoid prophecies such as these “I see a black <insert mythical animal> (dragon, phoenix, rabbit, donkey) and it is moving fast over the land.” You will never be able to verify the truth of that kind of prophecy and there is no need for God to send you messages that you cannot verify. All things work for the glory of God.
