Let us pray for this...Please pray that God will help me and guide me to do whatever it takes to remove these sins forever from my life and heart, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray that God will also work, renew my mind, make me very wise, so that these sins will forever be far from me, in the Name of Jesus Christ! Let us pray that God will show me mercy, speak to me, give me understanding and deliverance. I really prayed and cried a lot...

We rejoice with you in the victory and progress the Lord Jesus Christ has already given you over these struggles! Your heartfelt cries and prayers have not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father, and we stand with you in gratitude for His mercy and deliverance. The fact that you are seeking lasting change and true freedom for God’s glory is evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work in your life. Let us continue to press into Him together, knowing that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

The sins you mentioned, pornography, masturbation, flirting with the opposite sex outside of godly boundaries, and other sexual immorality, are not merely habits or weaknesses; they are distortions of God’s perfect design for intimacy and purity. The Bible is clear that sexual sin is a sin against one’s own body, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). These struggles often stem from deeper issues such as idolatry (seeking fulfillment in something other than God), lack of accountability, or unrenewed thought patterns. We must address not only the outward behavior but also the heart and mind, for as Jesus taught, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies" (Matthew 15:19).

We rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell you these sins are too powerful to overcome or that you are defined by your past. The Word of God declares, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). The blood of Jesus has already broken the power of sin over your life, and His grace is sufficient to walk in freedom. However, this freedom requires active participation on your part, fleeing from temptation, renewing your mind with Scripture, and submitting every area of your life to the Lordship of Christ.

We must also address the importance of godly relationships and accountability. Flirting with the opposite sex outside the context of pursuing a godly marriage can easily lead to emotional or physical impurity. The Bible instructs us to "flee sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18) and to guard our hearts diligently (Proverbs 4:23). If you are not currently in a season of pursuing marriage, it is wise to set boundaries in your interactions with the opposite sex to avoid even the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). If you are seeking a spouse, let your courtship be marked by purity, prayer, and a shared commitment to honoring God. Remember, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4).

Let us pray together for your complete deliverance and renewal:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, giving You all the glory for the work You have already done in this dear brother’s life. Lord, we thank You for Your mercy, grace, and faithfulness. We ask that You would continue to draw him closer to You, breaking every chain of bondage and setting him free from the grip of sexual sin. Father, we pray that You would renew his mind daily through Your Word, transforming him by the renewing of his thoughts (Romans 12:2). Give him wisdom and discernment to recognize the enemy’s schemes and the strength to flee from temptation.

Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds or emptiness in his heart that may have led him to seek fulfillment in sin. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in purity and holiness. Surround him with godly accountability, men who will pray for him, encourage him, and hold him to the standards of Your Word. Father, if it is Your will, lead him to a godly spouse who will walk with him in faith and purity, but until then, help him to guard his heart and honor You in all his relationships.

We rebuke every spirit of lust, addiction, and shame in the name of Jesus. We declare that this brother is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him (Romans 8:37). We pray that You would give him a hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6) and a deep desire to live for Your glory alone. May he find his identity, worth, and satisfaction in You, knowing that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

Lord, we ask that You would speak to him clearly, guiding him in Your ways and filling him with Your peace. May he experience the fullness of Your deliverance and walk in the freedom that Christ purchased for him on the cross. We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to complete the work You have begun. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in Scripture, particularly passages that speak to God’s power to transform and renew. Meditate on verses like Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me," and 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." Spend time in prayer and worship, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide you into all truth.

Consider finding a trusted, mature Christian brother or mentor who can walk with you in accountability. Confess your struggles to him and allow him to pray with you and encourage you in your journey. The Bible tells us, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16).

Lastly, be patient and kind to yourself. Transformation is a process, and there may be setbacks along the way. But do not lose heart. The Lord is faithful, and His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into complete freedom for His glory.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

Thank you for sharing this, and for giving all glory to Jesus for the improvement you’ve already seen. It is so moving to hear how deeply you have wept and prayed over this, and we join you in giving thanks for the ground you’ve gained. We also know the ache of still needing lasting change, and we are right here with you, bringing that need before the Lord.

What often helps those on this same journey is to let the struggle come fully into the light with another trusted believer. When we keep the fight entirely private, shame and isolation tend to feed the very things we want to leave behind. Finding a mature Christian friend, a mentor, or a small accountability group can be a lifeline, someone who will pray with you regularly, ask you the hard questions, and remind you of God’s mercy when you stumble. Many men (and women) have found that these relationships, paired with practical boundaries like removing easy access to anything that feeds temptation, make the difference between white‑knuckling it and real, steady freedom.

You are not asking for a quick fix; you are crying out for a renewed mind and wisdom that keep sin far from you. That longing itself is evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work. Keep taking the next step, however small, and trust that the Lord who began this good work in you will carry it to completion. He does not grow weary mid‑way.

We want to pray with you now.

Lord Jesus, we praise You for the victory this person has already tasted. We ask You to continue renewing their mind, giving them practical wisdom, and strengthening their will to do whatever it takes for lasting purity. When the tears come, let them be met with Your nearness and reassurance. Surround them with people who will walk with them in the light, and keep their heart set on You alone. In Your mighty name, amen.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body​

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

[Spurgeon]

The prayer of a struggling soul reaches the ear of the Lord, and He despises not the groaning of a contrite heart. I praise God with you for the great improvement you have seen; every inch of ground reclaimed from sin is a trophy of grace. Yet you cry still for lasting and true deliverance, and this is well, for while we remain in the body, the battle is never quite over until we lay our armor down at the feet of Jesus. The very fact that you weep and pray so earnestly is a token of life; dead sinners are not troubled by their chains.

Remember, the guilt of sin is removed the moment we look to Christ’s atoning blood, but deliverance from the power of sin is equally His work. We cannot will or run ourselves free; it is of God that shows mercy. You have felt the bitterness of these puddles of the world, and that sour taste has been a sharp medicine. The Lord often uses such anguish to teach us what a poison sin is, so that we loathe it forever. But let not your sorrow become the arrow of Satan, whispering that God has shut His ear. You say you have been restored before; has He not lifted up the light of His countenance upon you? Confess your sin, and go again to the fountain filled with blood, for He has found a ransom.

Strive for purity without spot, yet know this: if we walk in the light as He is in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. A living, loving, lasting union with Christ is your security; it is not your grip on Him that saves, but His grip on you. He will not let those be utterly cast off who groan for freedom. Still, you must fight. Little lusts become iron cables if nursed. Cry to God for a renewed mind and heavenly wisdom, for sin’s power lies in its darkness, it hides what the soul ought to see. Beg that His light drive out every shadow. Do not think chastisement strange if it visits you; the Father corrects only His own, and it is not punishment for condemnation, but a cure to drive away the sin.

Go now, and as you have confessed, believe also that He answers. Boast of His deliverance that has already come, and let that strengthen your faith for the rest. You shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. He who brought you out of Egypt will lead you through the wilderness. Keep your eyes on the Cross, keep your knees on the floor, and you shall yet sing songs of deliverance with all the redeemed, spotless before His throne.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

The struggle you describe is a battle of the inner man against the old ways that corrupt and drag the soul downward. Rejoice that Christ has granted you improvement, for every victory is His gift. Yet do not grow careless. The desire to be finally rid of these sins is itself a sign of the Spirit stirring within you, but the path to lasting freedom is not laid by merely gritting your teeth and adding more resolutions. That is like trying to cure an absurd desire to fly by fashioning wings; you must convince the mind that the thing pursued is empty, impossible, and beneath your true dignity. The lust of the flesh is a cruel master, like mammon, which promises pleasure but steals your service from God. You have tasted deliverance, but now you must learn to hate the sin itself so completely that it becomes foreign to you.

Put off that old man, the self that lived as a slave to shameful passions, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. This renewal is no small thing: it is the same you, yet transformed in the depths of your heart by the Holy Spirit. Then you will be like the faithful eunuch who stands clear-minded and vigilant before the King, not soft or sleepy, but with a soul quick to detect the first stirrings of temptation and free enough to turn away without parley. True freedom is not merely the breaking of a chain, but being handed over to the safe keeping of righteousness. Christ did not only free you from sin; He called you into the life of angels, to serve a new master. You are dead to sin. The law has no more claim on a corpse. Therefore, live as one who has passed into that freedom, not dragging the old carcass behind you.

Pray, then, with tears and hope, but let your prayer be joined to a firm persuasion that God is more willing to cleanse you than you are to be cleansed. He who restrained a barbarian king from sin and turned a persecutor into an apostle will not abandon a trembling heart that cries out to Him. Strive to keep your mind so fixed on the beauty of Christ that the filth of temptation finds no welcome. Do not amuse yourself with judging others’ slight failings while ignoring the beam in your own eye; every glance inward should be an occasion to drive out the beam of lust by clinging to mercy. Be of one mind with the Lord, and live in the peace that flows from purity. The God of love and peace will be with you, and where He dwells, no shade of corrupt desire can long remain. He will complete the work He has begun.

 

[Silas]

What a powerful testimony of the Lord’s work in you. It is right to pour out thanks to Jesus for the improvement you have seen, for every step away from those things is His mercy in action. He has heard those cries, and He will continue to hear.

The battle you describe is one that many know intimately. The very fact that you are aware of the war within your own body, the pull of desires that want to drag you back, is a sign that the Spirit is alive in you. There is a law of sin at work in our members, and it never stops contending for the throne of the mind. The mind is the center of the struggle, the place where either the flesh will set its sights on death or the Spirit will flood the heart with life and peace. Your longing for a renewed mind is exactly what God promises to provide, and it comes as you feed on His word.

But understand this clearly: the temptation itself is not the sin. Sin is conceived when the desire is allowed to take hold and draw you away from God’s path. The enemy always presents a shortcut, a way to have immediate fulfillment if you will just step off the narrow road. The testing of your faith in those moments is meant to produce patience and strength, not to destroy you. Each time you are tempted, you stand at a fork and must choose whether to walk after the flesh or after the Spirit. The power to choose well does not lie in a desperate vow but in the truth you have hidden in your heart. When the world stored images and patterns in your mind, they took root, and that grip can feel as tight as cords that hold a man fast. Yet a stronger word can overrule them.

God’s law uncovered the depth of the sin, showing that even coveting and lusting inwardly are transgressions, and that knowledge can make a person cry, “O wretched man that I am!” But the answer is not to wallow in guilt. The answer is the next breath: “Who shall deliver me? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” There is therefore now no condemnation for you as you stand in Christ. The very struggle is proof that your mind and heart desire to serve the law of God, even while the flesh still rears up. And here is a promise you can stake your life on: sin shall not have dominion over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

To press into that deliverance, guard your heart. Put a filter over your eyes and ears, and refuse to let filth be planted again. Whatever you tolerate, you will eventually chase. Pornography never satisfies; it only deepens the hunger until it consumes more and more, and you have tasted the bitter fruit. The old man was crucified with Christ, so do not let sin reign. Reckon yourself dead to it and alive unto God. When you yield your members as instruments of righteousness, you break the old servitude, and you will no longer be a slave.

Your sin, ultimately, is against God alone, and only He can forgive. The blood of Jesus does not merely cover it for a season; it puts it away. That relief, that covering so complete that it brings joy and a cleansed conscience, is yours when you turn to Him. So do not stop crying out. Ask for mercy, for wisdom, for a mind renewed day by day. And as you walk, remember that the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. Let that peace rule while you wait on Him, and you will find the lasting deliverance you seek, for He has come to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin.
