Forgive me for Lust like Masturbating and watching Porn

[Anonymous]

Lord, I really do apologize for masturbating after watching porn. I thought I have overcome it as I had not mastubated for 4 months until I fell into that sin a week ago, Yesterday, I did it again after 1 week of not doing it. I'm deeply ashamed and please forgive me from my sins and please dont let the consequences consume me.

Also, I apologize for stalking someone in Facebook. I even did a dummy account just to stalk someone that I have feelings for in Facebook. Now , that dummy account was suspended and I hope she wont found out. Please Lord forgive me for everything

We have read your confession with heavy hearts and with gratitude for your honesty before the Lord, and we join you in bringing this before Him together in Jesus' name. We do not take lightly that you have humbled yourself to admit these sins, and we want you to know that godly sorrow that leads to repentance is precious to God, while shame that drives you into hiding is not from Him. You mentioned going four months without falling and then stumbling again after a week, and we want to encourage you that this shows God has been working in you and giving you strength, and a stumble does not erase His work. Do not despair, but continue to press forward.

We must lovingly rebuke and correct what you have confessed because the Lord calls us to walk in light and truth. Watching pornography and masturbating with lust is sin before God. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. Pornography feeds that adultery of the heart, and it treats those made in God's image as objects for selfish desire rather than persons to be honored. Scripture teaches us to flee sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and that sexual intimacy is designed by God to be enjoyed only within the lifelong covenant of marriage between a man and a woman as taught in Hebrews 13:4. What you described is fornication of the heart and impurity that God calls us to put to death in Colossians 3:5. We also must address the stalking and the dummy account. Creating a false identity to secretly watch someone you have feelings for is deception and does not reflect the love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-6, nor the honesty commanded in Ephesians 4:25 to put away falsehood and speak truth. Even if your feelings feel strong, godly courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer must be open, respectful, honest, and honoring of boundaries, not secretive or controlling. Stalking violates respect for another person and their privacy, and the Lord calls us to treat others as we want to be treated and to walk in integrity.

We want to assure you that forgiveness is available, but it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and can be saved. You said Lord, and we gently remind you that Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. In Acts 4:12 we are told there is salvation in no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved. To be forgiven and to have power over sin, we must confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead as taught in Romans 10:9. If you have not yet fully entrusted your life to Jesus as your Savior and Lord, we urge you to do so now, turning from sin and trusting in His shed blood for your forgiveness. For those who are in Christ, we have the promise in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and in Psalm 103:12 that as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. In Proverbs 28:13 we read that he who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

We encourage you to walk in that mercy with practical repentance. Flee from temptation rather than fighting it up close in 1 Corinthians 6:18, which means removing access to pornography, installing filters, keeping devices in open areas, and avoiding isolation and idle time. Walk by the Spirit in Galatians 5:16 so you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, filling your mind with what is pure and true in Philippians 4:8 and with the Word daily. Bring this struggle into the light with a mature Christian brother or pastor for accountability as taught in James 5:16 to confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. For the stalking, we urge you to permanently delete the dummy account, to not create another, to respect this woman's boundaries completely, and to repent of deception. If your feelings are to be pursued at all, it must be in an open and honorable way as a brother in Christ, and if she has not invited such attention, the loving thing is to release her to the Lord and pray for her good from a distance without intrusion.

We pray together for you now. Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You for Your mercy that endures forever. We confess before You this sin of lust, pornography, and masturbation, and the sin of deception and stalking, and we ask You to forgive us through the blood of Jesus. Create in us a clean heart in Psalm 51:10 and renew a right spirit within us. Wash us and cleanse us, and help us to hate what You hate and love what You love. Lord, we ask that You do not let the consequences of these sins consume this dear one, but that You would discipline as a loving Father in Hebrews 12:6 and restore with gentleness. Give strength to flee temptation in 1 Corinthians 10:13, to resist the devil in James 4:7, and to walk in purity. Guard this young woman who was stalked, and protect her heart, and let no harm or fear come to her, and let this situation be covered by Your grace. Lead our brother into accountability, into honest fellowship, and into a deeper love for Jesus that makes sin lose its appeal. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit and with hope, reminding him that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus in Romans 8:1. We ask that You make his future relationships, if it is Your will for him to marry, to be centered on Christ and marked by honor, purity, and truth. We entrust him to Your keeping and Your transforming power. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We encourage you to stay in the Word daily, to pray continually, and to not let the enemy use shame to keep you isolated. God is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. Keep rising after a fall, keep confessing quickly, and keep seeking Jesus above all else.

Thank you for sharing this so honestly. We hear how heavy the shame feels right now and how sincerely you want to be free.

Four months without porn and masturbation is meaningful growth, and that progress still matters even with the slip a week ago and again yesterday. A setback does not erase what God has been doing in you, but it does show how hard this is to carry alone. Shame often pushes us to hide, and hiding can make the cycle stronger.

It helps to bring this struggle into the light with one safe person. If you have a pastor, mentor or mature trusted friend, consider asking them to be an ongoing accountability partner you can be honest with quickly when temptation rises, not only after a fall. And while you are clear headed, it also helps to remove easy access. Clear any saved images or history, consider a filter or accountability app on your devices, and let that suspended dummy account stay gone rather than creating another one. Stepping back from checking her profile will protect you both and give you space to reset.

You asked for forgiveness and that consequences would not consume you. We believe God hears that honest heart and meets you with mercy as you keep turning to Him.

Father, we bring our brother before You and thank You for his honesty. Wash him in Your forgiveness through Jesus, quiet his shame and give him strength for today. Help him walk in the light with trusted support and guide his steps away from what entangles him. Grant him peace and wisdom for the next step. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is forgiveness with God, and your honest and humble confession is itself a sign that His Spirit is at work in you. You have not hidden your sin but have brought it into the light, and you have taken the lowest place, admitting that you are altogether a sinner in need of mercy. That is the place where grace meets the soul.

Hear the word of the Lord, I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake. This is a divine forgiveness, and it is a surprising forgiveness. It is so surprising that God repeats it, I, even I, lest any doubting heart should question it. You tremble and are ashamed, and with a penitent heart you desire forgiveness, and to such a heart the promise comes without limit. There is forgiveness. Where God draws no limit, do not you draw any. It cannot be pleaded that your sins are too great to be pardoned, for the amount of guilt is put entirely out of consideration, seeing that God forgives not on account of the sinner, but for His own sake and for the sake of His Son who died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

That forgiveness is to be found only with God, through Jesus Christ His Son, and it is salvation through Him alone. If by faith you can believe in the sin forgiving God and accept the matchless Atonement which covers all your guilt, then you are even now among the blessed. Suppose you call on your creditor and say, I have nothing to pay with. He can blot out the whole debt in a moment. So the Lord promises oblivion to all your debt when you put your trust in Christ. It is a complete forgiveness, an eternal forgiveness, and a continuous forgiveness. He not only forgave at the first all our sins, but He continues daily to forgive. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. He does not forgive and afterwards accuse.

Yet mark that at the very same time that the guilt of sin is taken away, the forgiven man undergoes a change of nature. The work of the Spirit is linked with the work of the Son. When the Son removes guilt, the Spirit removes guile. Guile was abundant when there was no confession, when conscience was hushed and sin was excused or hidden. Now you have confessed, and the call is to forsake guile as well as to seek forgiveness for guilt. There are some who can never hope to obtain peace while they continue in their iniquity, still clinging to the vice. To know forgiveness is to turn from the sin with purpose of heart.

Therefore concerning the lust you have confessed, the watching of pornography and masturbation, know that God calls this sin and calls you away from it. Sex and the union of the body belong within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and what is done outside of that is not to be affirmed or excused but repented of and forsaken. Do not despair because after four months you fell, and then again after a week. There is forgiveness now, at this moment, but that forgiveness is given to lead you to holiness, to flee temptation, to set guards before your eyes, to seek accountable fellowship, and to walk in purity by the power of the Spirit.

So also concerning the deceit with the dummy account and stalking one for whom you have feelings. That too is guile, a secret way that does not honor God nor respect the other person made in His image. It is right to be grieved for it, to put it away entirely, to delete what was made for deception, to respect boundaries, and to walk in truthfulness. Do not ask God to bless or to hide that deceit, but ask Him to cleanse it, to teach you to love with honor and restraint, and to leave consequences in His hands while you act honestly from this day forward.

You fear that consequences will consume you. Bring even that fear to Christ. He can forgive the guilt fully while He teaches you to bear with humility whatever fruit your actions have sown, trusting His mercy to sustain you.

May the Lord grant you to believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself, not as a general doctrine only, but as a present reality through the blood of Christ. May He lift the dreadful walls of guilt that have risen around you, and may He give you a new heart that hates the sin it once indulged, that you may know both forgiveness and the freedom that follows it, to walk in newness of life.
