OVERCOME OR BE OVERCOME! The Secret Addiction and How to Overcome It!

More and more Christian Men and Teens write and ask for help in overcoming a very powerful yet little talked about addiction, Pornography.
Not every Christian Male is addicted to Pornography but I would venture a guess that the vast majority are, especially do to the instant access that The Internet provides for viewing Pornography. Some struggle with greed, unforgiveness, anger, jealousy, drunkenness, or fear. Yet the same Principle in Overcoming Addiction to Porn applies to overcoming all sin.

1- I would say to the male mind, Pornography is addictive as heroin or cocaine. Porn is almost "biologically engineered" to have most impact upon our minds. THEY KNOW WHAT TURNS ON THE MALE MIND. Many guys are addicted to porn and are in DENIAL. Im glad some Believers have the self honesty to realize this problem and their need for deliverance from it.

Porn is not only a problem for single men but married men as well. Lust knows no bounds and porn addictive doesn't care if you have a ring on your finger or not.
1-You can overcome Porn thru God's Power, "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil"... you need to PRAY when the impluse to turn to porn arises and God will give you the power to overcome. (if you truly want to overcome that is).
One fact is clear: If you do not Overcome your addiction to porn and the lust it generates- then Porn will overcome you and Lust will enslave your soul= and you will not be "accounted worthy" for Heaven and The First of Two Raptures. (Lu:21:36 = Rev:3:10).

2- Pornography turns women into sex objects and if you have a steady "diet" of Porn, you will view women as Sex Toys as well. You need to pray and ask God to show you porn for what it is: young women selling their souls to satan for quick $$$ and fame. A $20 billion dollar a year industry based upon greed & lust.

3- It is virtually impossible to view Porn and then not look at women in a lustful way or think about sex- ACTUALLY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE unless of course you are blind.
Its like trying to lose weight and sitting in a doughnut or pizza shop- You will get hungry and you will eat.
4- When we "repent and are are born" anew", (Acts:2:38) GOD gives us a new nature, new desires to Love God, seek The Truth of His Words and love others as ourselves. Yet still retain our seflish fallen nature with its lusts, greed,envy, hatred etc. and this is the problem and the TEST to overcome and show we are worthy for Heaven.
Look at your old nature as a Demonic Monster that is locked in your basement and chained to the floor.

The less and less you feed it (give into your fallen desires) the weaker and weaker it gets and the EASIER it is to follow God.
The more you feed the monster (give into your fallen desires) the stronger it gets and very quickly. Then it breaks the chain, triples in size and starts slamming on your basement door (the door of your mind). If you feed it some more-- it will break the door down and overcome you!
So walk with JESUS in God's New Desires and let the "beast" slowly starve, weaken and die.
JESUS is coming for His Worthy believers, His true followers who have OVERCOME THEIR BEAST as this monster lays shriveled up and dying on the basement floor. (Rev:3:10, 3:12).

Gob Bless You
