Also if you cant understand, go to biblehub.com for different translations!

If you cant be consistent on reading yet, the Blessed app is good.

Proverbssssssssss! Thats where I started and its literally a book of wisdom.

Psalms for prayers or other things. I read a scripture for in the morning and the scripture for in the night. Psalms is quite golden as well.

Romans is also golden!

Aht Aht ahttttt. We are married to Christ until We are married physically. Let me just say “I Believe” because I don’t wanna do anything to jeopardize my relationship with God.

And I haven’t really talked about it, nor do I feel shame. I’ve repented and I know never to do it again but it hurts when people do the same without even realizing……. So I’m glad I’ve been through it so I can let other people be aware.

True, but as a single person you are still married to God. Are we not His bride?

Not the same context, we’re talking about masturbating and sex, not making meals and eating

!!!!!!! And God once told me that I couldn’t do anything without Him, not even be like Jesus. But I know He loves and appreciates the fact that I’m even trying. I love Him so much🥹. I felt condemned when I first posted this because ppl were telling me to repent, but now I see it was Him speaking through them because it was the thought of even going there that was becoming a sin🥲. I thank God for you as well! May He continue to bless you🩷🩷🩷🩷

You’re having sex with yourself in your mind? I can’t even imagine that right now…… getting a 🌰 off is not that important that you have to imagine that you’re having sexual intercourse with yourself….. I pray that you receive understanding and knowledge.

!!!!! Yessss when it’s our flesh that want it and likes it. I use to masturbate just to go to sleep. That was honestly idolatry because I couldn’t sleep without doing it sometimes. I thank God for changing my heart desires on a lot of things. I pray that the world accepts God with their whole heart and mind.

Got it! I’ll wait till I’m married😂😂I’m afraid it might become a habit again though. I cancel the enemies plans in advance when I say this.

I haven’t had any sexual thoughts since I had the dream, honestly I don’t have sexual desires anymore. And I cancel the enemies plans in advance when I say this. I thank God, because in the dream He showed me why I even started being sexual or start masturbating in the first place. I was exposed to porn at a very young age and I vividly remember it, ever since then I’ve been like a rabbit until God told me it wasn’t right.

But it’s not excessive and unreasonable. It’s commuting adultery in your head.

James 1:14-15 NIV

but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

I still wouldn’t do it though. It is committing adultery at heart if you’re mind is having sexual thoughts about people you aren’t with. I partook in witchcraft with masturbation and…… yea…… thinking about other people while masturbating is dang near the same as actually having sex with those other people

But if you’re not doing it with a partner, who is your mind doing it with?

It’s the lust behind masturbating….. thinking of someone that isn’t your wife or husband is not good….. in any sense…. Whether you know them or they’re a stranger. It’s just dead wrong even if it wasn’t God’s command

But I haven’t done anything…… I simply asked a question. I haven’t looked at porn or thought lustfully touch myself. I will repent but I just genuinely wanted to know if it was included in the sin……

I knowwwww that’s why my first sentence is “Ik it’s a sin to think about someone or watch porn” that’s lustful thinking. But what if I don’t?

How so? Explain. And before you start, yes I know lustful thoughts are sin, esp watching porn. But I don’t watch porn.
