Help! ..😭..😭I really prayed and cried a lot..

[Anonymous]

I had problems with pornography, masturbation, flirting (with the opposite sex) and sexual sins... Now there is a great improvement! Let us give all the glory and thanks for this to the Lord Jesus Christ! But there is still a great need for more improvement (lasting and true) for the glory of God! 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 and give all the glory and thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for the great improvement He has already worked in your life, and we thank Him that you have cried out to Him so earnestly. God hears the cries of a broken and contrite heart and He is faithful to deliver and to cleanse. We stand with you now asking for lasting and true victory for the glory of God.

We want to speak plainly in love about these sins because God calls us to holiness. Pornography, masturbation and flirting with the opposite sex outside of godly courtship toward marriage are not small matters, they are expressions of lust and sexual immorality. Jesus said that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart in Matthew 5:28. The Scripture commands us to flee sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and tells us that every other sin a person does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and we are to glorify God in our body and spirit which are His as it says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Flirting stirs up desires that belong only within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and God’s will is our sanctification, that we abstain from sexual immorality and know how to possess our own vessel in sanctification and honor in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. Masturbation feeds that same lust and turns the heart inward rather than toward purity and self-control.

We praise God that you desire to remove these sins forever and to have a renewed mind, for that is exactly what God promises to do. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind in Romans 12:2. God can create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you as in Psalm 51:10. The way forward is to walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh in Galatians 5:16, and to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ in 2 Corinthians 10:5. This means doing whatever it takes to make a way of escape which God faithfully provides in 1 Corinthians 10:13. For you that will mean ruthlessly removing every source and access to pornography, installing filters and accountability, avoiding places, screens and conversations that trigger lust, ending flirting and guarding your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life in Proverbs 4:23, choosing to think on whatever things are true, honorable, just, pure and lovely in Philippians 4:8, and inviting a mature believing brother to walk with you in honest accountability. Resist the devil and he will flee from you and draw near to God and He will draw near to you in James 4:7-8. When you do fall short, confess your sins and He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness in 1 John 1:9.

We pray together for you now.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we thank You for the mercy You have already shown to our brother, for the improvement and conviction You have given. We ask that You would complete the good work You began in him until the day of Jesus Christ according to Philippians 1:6. Lord, show him mercy, speak to him, give him understanding and grant him full deliverance. Renew his mind and make him very wise in Your Word so that these sins will forever be far from him. Create in him a pure heart that hates what You hate and loves what You love. Help him to do whatever it takes to remove these sins forever from his life and heart, to flee every temptation and to walk in purity and in the power of Your Holy Spirit. Fill him with Your strength when he is weak and let him know that Your grace is sufficient. Keep him close to Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to You and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. Let his life now bring glory to You in holiness and truth. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.

We are so thankful you shared this with us, and we rejoice with you at the improvement you have seen. It is a gift to hear you give glory to Jesus for what He has done, and to hear your honest desire for lasting freedom. The tears and prayers you describe matter to God, and He sees your heart to be made new.

We want to encourage you that growth like this is often more of a process than a single moment. Even after real victories, old thoughts and temptations can return for a time, not because you have failed, but because the mind and habits are being renewed little by little. That can feel discouraging, but it is normal as the Lord continues His work.

One thing that has helped many who walk this same road is not walking it alone. Having one trusted, mature believer or pastor who knows your struggle and can check in with you regularly brings light and strength when willpower alone feels thin. It could be a small support group or a steady accountability partner, someone who will pray with you, ask honest questions, and point you back to Christ when shame creeps in.

We are praying for you.

Father, thank You for the change You have already brought in this life. We ask for Your mercy and renewing work in mind and heart, for wisdom to take the next steps You show, and for steady deliverance day by day. Keep Your child close to Jesus and give hope for each step ahead. In Jesus' name, amen.

Armor of God Eph 6:10-20, Ourselves, Our Families, Leaders Prov 21:1, Pastors, Evangelists, ️ Churches, Ministry Partners All Christianity (Every Believer in Christ); Government, 1 Tim 2:1-4, EVEN "ENEMIES," Mt 5:44-45, Lk 6:27-29, Rom 12:14, 1 Peter 3:9...

We pray it over ourselves first, in submission to Your Word, even as it was the proper example and pattern of Christ, overcoming the devil first on for His own sake in the wilderness, Mt 4:1-11, Mk 1:12-13, Lk 4:1-13, then overcoming the world, flesh and devil for the sake of the world, John 16:33, we pray Your Armor, The Armor of God, on ourselves, Eph 6:10-17, then for others, Eph 6:18-20, applied by faith, as we receive everything else in the same manner, from salvation, Eph 2:8-9, to answered prayer, Mark 11:24, Heb 11:6, James 1:6...

“Finally, brothers and sisters, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the Whole Armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the Whole Armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for the church, that utterance may be given to Your people, that they may open their mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which some are ambassadors in chains; that all may speak boldly, as is fitting to speak," Eph‬ ‭6:11-20‬, thank You in Jesus' Name, Heb 11:6.

I just fell into lust badly, I got baptized a few days ago and this is the first time I sinned with this after being baptized, well yk (did the act of it when yk) I looked at woman lustfully before that, so I am in the same boat because I have been trying and trying but nothing seems to be working, and it feels like Jesus can't free me from this sin, but I know deep down he can, I have to do something, and I don't know what it is, but I think you do as well, you need to do something that will finally free you, it could be the hardest thing in the world, it could be something easy, but whatever it is, it's something God has willed, so let his will be done, amen.
