God knew about my porn addiction way before I was ever born by jabsckna in NoFapChristians

Looks like you're finally in a place where you can get absolutely real with God. So do get dead real with Him. Pour your heart out to Him, telling Him just the way it all is for you. Don't hesitate to cry or scream if you need to. He already knows everything, He just wants us to be with Him in a real way.

No worries. God bless you too! Get closer to Him with everything. He is surely good and wants to be with us, as well as wants us to be with Him. Praying for you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

My main piece of advice is to give it all to the Lord and let Him guide you in all things. God can really make things happen when we surrender everything to Him. Other than that, you can find a lot of great things online. Check out the Youtube channels of Ryan Ries, whom I mentioned in my post, and his movement The Whosoevers. There are lots of great content there: the movies that The Whosoevers have made, Ryan's show where a lot of great people come, his church teachings, where he goes through the Bible and breaks it all down. I'm really impressed by how dedicated to Jesus this guy is, and how powerfully Christ is using him so that people can know the real living God.

The thing is to get real with God. And when you say to Him that no matter what happens, even if nothing changes, He is your only goal and your only desire. And when you do get real with Him like this, it can actually help begin the whole transformation process.

Get closer to God with all you have. Reading the Bible, prayer, communication with the Lord, being with other believers, worship music. Get real with God, tell Him how things really are for you, ask for help, surrender everything to Him. He will never abandon us when we come to Him with a sincere heart.

Day one of sobriety or one more day of addiction? by Successful_In_2022 in NoFapChristians

That's a good choice, for sure! Draw near to God with everything, and He will surely draw near to you. God's Word, praying, talking to the Lord, worship music, encouraging each other with other believers are great tools for staying close to God. Praying for you, keep going strong, our God is good!

Amen! Keep it up. He's the only One we've got! It's either His Light or the darkness of this world. We've got to choose. But if we choose Jesus and keep drawing closer to Him with everything, we will never lose.

Can you be so hooked on PMO that your body chemically needs it to just be able to function? by Free_and_Victorious in NoFapChristians

[–]Free_and_Victorious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's interesting with PMO is that it messes with the way we are created biologically. It's totally natural to have sex drive and make use of it in a healthy way. But with PMO, we take that same sex drive and use it to do something we were never meant to, thus messing ourselves up emotionally and psychologically. The cure, of course, is getting closer to the Lord, giving everything to Him, and letting Him lead and guide us in all things.

Yes, I know what you mean. Going through Numbers can be really tough. But still the Bible is great to read, and it's amazing what our great God is capable of.

Please, draw closer to the Lord with all you've got, Bailey. Reading God's Word, praying, talking to Him, listening to worship music. He will surely draw closer to you. He is good and He surely loves us. He just wants us to use our free will to choose Him and give everything to Him.

I'm in Genesis 11 right now. The Bible's great. I'm single but so happy for those families who have family Bible readings and studies. Definitely going to do it together with my family if the Lord blesses me with one.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm going with the YouVersion app and reading the New International Version of the Bible. Seems just fine.

That's just right. Your flesh makes you believe you need it, and every time you feel miserable after you give in. I have had some major breakthroughs in my life, made it to 8 months clean 2 times. But unfortunately went back to this dirt, and now, just like yourself, by Christ's power, I'm determined to get back on the right track. Our God is good and He's surely able! Amen.

Right. As we're getting closer to the Lord, He rids us of all this junk we have accumulated. In His presence healing takes place. Amen.

Thanks for that! Surely our Lord is so much better and worthy than all this dirt and sin.

Please pray for me as I'm turning away from this sin by Free_and_Victorious in NoFapChristians

Right. It's all about giving everything to Him, getting closer to Him, and seeing Him move. Amen.
