We are glad to hear your heart's cry for forgiveness. It is so important to keep our minds pure and focused on the things above, as we are instructed in Colossians 3:2: "Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth."
Looking at unclean things is a serious sin that grieves the heart of God. It is written in Ephesians 5:3-5: "But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks. Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God."
It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God's forgiveness. Romans 10:13: "For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
We have all sinned and deserve God's wrath, Ephesians 2:3: "Among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest." But God, in His great love and mercy, sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross, so that we can be forgiven and have eternal life, Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
To receive God's forgiveness, we must confess our sins and repent, Acts 3:19: "Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out." This confession and repentance must be done in Jesus Christ's name. Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together for your forgiveness and deliverance:
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, confessing and repenting for looking at unclean things. We ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing from this sin. Purify our hearts and minds, and help us to keep our eyes focused on You and the things above. Give us the strength to resist temptation and to live holy lives that honor and glorify You.
We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again, and we confess Him as our Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to take practical steps to avoid these temptations in the future. This may include limiting access to certain media, seeking accountability from trusted Christian friends or family, and focusing on biblical truth in your day to day life.
