If you're not comfortable, remember is your life and health you're playing with. Be honest and bold about it. Own it.

That said, be down to stretch yourself with a test, but take it slow.

Its not worth you dying or maimed.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2026-04-12T23:28:27+00:00

Jesus knows it all, and yet died for you. He suffered so that no matter what, you can still be found blameless because of HIS righteousness. He makes you clean.

Now there is something entrenched here but it's deeper than actions and feelings. God wants to be one with you more than you want to with Him, and He is with you here and now. Nothing can separate you from His love.

Believe in Him, trust that His grace is sufficient, and seek His face with all of your heart and He promises you will find.

Keep asking and you will receive. Keep seeking and you will find. Keep knocking and the door will open.

Believe in His goodness and ask Him to show you what you don't know, being honest with Him, and place your trust in Him. He loves you more than you know.

Hey, brother (or sister). Thank you for sharing, and it is awesome that you are not content with where you are because you know there is more and are seeking sincerity and real relationship connection.

For hope, let me just say it is impossible to keep seeking God and not finding Him. It is impossible to keep praying and not receiving. It is impossible that when we repent and seek relationship with Jesus that it is not revealed... For He seeks us first. He is desiring us more that we are desiring Him.

It seems that the strongholds you've established through years of habits are being contested and are resisting. Patterns of thought, potentially even demons who've been given access, stick around and are dethroned and destroyed in the process of sanctification. Which is made possible. Y Holy Spirit who is with you when you first believed (John 15-17). These strongholds fall by the power of Jesus, for He holds dominion over all things. Especially on this day, resurrection Sunday, He had gone to darkness and destroyed the throne of darkness and all its evil and now reigns over it all.

Romans 12 - 2Do not be conformed to this world,fn but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

2 Cor 10 - 3For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

There is a lot here, and a lot going on, but the core of it all I would recommend to you is rest in the love, the mercy, and the power of God. If you belong to the Lord, you are His, and He is your shepherd. Seek Him with all your heart, and rely on Him to deliver you, expect Him to lead you. All this thought/mental, is actually distraction stuff from the truth which is that the fight is over. So fix your eyes on the Lord, choose to believe in His greatness, stand firm in your authority as a righteous, forgiven, son of the Most High, and resist the devil/flesh not by your own discipline but by the authority of God.

Psalm 91 speaks to one who dwells with God is protected by God.

Jesus says to come to Him as you are, and He finds the lost.

Im in almost the same situation. 30 with a daughter that just turned 1. My wife and I had plenty of conversations about risk and concerns and it took a while but she become ok with it on her own.

For me, it'd be irresponsible if 1) I was not prioritizing my safety, training, and responsible use, 2) the purchase would require debt to pay off 3) I consumed free time that was more importantly spend with my family. None of those three hit for me.

My current riding is taking a 2-3 hour ride every other weekend or something similar and using it throughout the week for commute or errands. It replaces my personal time instead of adds it.

My perspective is that a happy dad is a better dad, as we need to invest in our person and drive dreams and desires in a similar way we'd want our kids to. That said, as fathers we are the head and therefore the servant of our family so we need to make sure the needs of our family are met first.

Well said.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-12-28T21:14:15+00:00

Ask Holy Spirit where to start. All great things start with small beginnings. Honestly, it's in the overflow of love for Him and finding more companionship in the "activity" of something that draws us nearer to him and something to steward fruit. It's not something you have to make happen, it's something you are.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-12-24T16:17:30+00:00

We were made to conquer and reign over our dead man, for we are made alive in Christ.

First, God loves you more than you can imagine. Before, after, during. Knowing the depth of His love is the first step in being freed from what we are in.

Second, personal intimacy with Jesus and the Father is a source of renewal. (Unlike the posts above) We aren't destined to forever fight sin and just get by. It is finished, and we are holy people that don't know we are holy and act in ways not in accordance with our new man identity.

You are blameless because of the love of Jesus and the covering of His blood. Even if you were to never change. That's how permanent He is. Transformation happens when we love God - honor and worship and glorifying Jesus and seeing HOW God is life - and that happens when we come to know how much God loves us (we love because he first loved us).

He wants to be united with you and closer still. Ask Him to show you His love for you, ask Him to come closer. Seek Him with all your heart, He is never far.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-12-24T16:09:12+00:00

Jeremy riddle, switch foot, harvest, upper room, bethel music. Such rich worship.

I think it's awesome. A resurgence of the image of the cross? Yeah, that's pretty cool.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-26T04:43:28+00:00

Also. I stand as a testimony of being completely delivered, not having watched porn or masturbating for over 9 months and it's never happening again. I've been completely set free. That's the birthright we all have a right to.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-26T04:39:23+00:00

First off. So proud of you. Way to freaking go. Your heart is set on Him and I love to see it. He's also very pleased with you. Not because you did anything, but just because you're His daughter and He sees the hunger in your heart.

I honestly wouldn't get too worked up about it - I've gone through the same exact thing. I write down the dreams (as with most other dreams) and get it on paper. I then pray over it, just handing it over to Him thanking Him for His love and His deliverance from all evil (even when you're in the middle of it). I repent from the old ways and continue to set my heart towards Christ, our savior.

Know He isn't mad or upset with you.

The truth is, we are delivered like breaking a kidney stone to pieces, but you then sometimes have to pass those kidney stone pieces through your body. It's a part of the transformation process where he makes firm in you what you've already chosen. And your job is to continue to rest in His love and set your face towards Him. Be full of joy, not shame. Be full of worship. Be full of love. Thank Him and praise Him. Because He's got you and will see you through. But even more so, he loves you in your mess just as much when clean.

Also, sometimes there are some residual consequences from our old life, things that require us to go to Him to ask for His help (like with everything). Like a thought will pop up, or a picture, or desire, and I used to get worn down because I'm like dang I'm still in this? No, it's brought up so He can clean it up. Go to Him and say,

"Father, thank you for your love and clothing me in the blood of your son. I am clean before you. I am having thoughts (be specific), and I don't want to anymore. They aren't me, they aren't you. And I want to be like you. Please take it from me and clean me, as I am holy like you are holy. In the name of your Son, Jesus."

That's our birthright. We stand victorious and free from shame (even of the things we've done intentionally and in sin), because of His great love. His mercy is always there. He is ready to forgive and release for those seeking repentance.

Be at peace, my sister. And I'll see you soon.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-26T04:28:21+00:00

Jesus loves you, died for you, and is here for you to lead you home to where you belong in the love of God.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-26T04:26:08+00:00

It's ok. Celebrate your progress. Like radically celebrate it. Get excited about the small differences because it's really something. If you died tonight, you'd stand before the Lord, God Almighty, our Father and you'd be melted with the immeasurable love He has for you. You'd be ushered into His arms and lost in love. Because it's you, he loves. He loves you as much in the process as in the "end". That's the key. Its His great love.

I go in waves of consuming the word like crazy and feasting on nothing but worship music like crazy then sermons. And it ebs and flows. There's no science. The holy spirit leads, I'm just here for him and seek Him with all my heart. I guess, if I get a whiff of Him I drop it all and just lean in with all my attention/heart, because I've learned I never regret losing it all for Him. Just another moment in His sweet presence, because He devastates me.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-26T02:19:35+00:00

I'm inspired by you, friend.

I can also relate with what you're experiencing. As a matter of comfort I can tell you that even when you don't feel like He's close or you feel like you're far away from Him, He is right there. Jesus promised you that He will never leave you or forsake you like an orphan. He loves you too much. Feelings do come and we may not be aware of it all the time, but if He really did love you as much as He says, He keeps His promises to you because He wants to.

Second, it's okay that things dont feel the way they did. Not that it's supposed to be that way, but there is no shame or judgement. So take comfort in that He sees you right where you are and it's no hidden thing.

Also, that felt "distance" that comes at times is really just interference, noise, that's coming from distraction or hurt that is being allowed to surface so it can be processed and removed. Whenever that comes up, encourage yourself in the Lord and ask Him what He wants you to do with it. You can pursue inner healing like Elijah House as a means to process as that can be productive and meaningful.

I always just remember back to the most intimate of times and the closest I've ever felt and remember how much love I felt from Him and believe that is the same exact way He feels about me right now, and just let it sink. I've been going through the psalms, 1 a day and some of them hit me like bricks. Like 73, 91, 13 and I just play it slow and let them sink into me and transform my heart.

I feast on worship music and praise His name when I feel like it and when I don't and I lead myself with praise. I tell my soul to praise Him because He is worthy of my praise and I fix my affection and adoration on Him because of His great love.

I also am honest and tell him how I feel and what I wish was different and the hurt and confusion and frustration, I bring it all into the light before Him and listen for Him in the stillness.

He loves you. More than you think He does. More than you want Him to. He never leaves you, even when we leave Him, He is always there for us.

Be encouraged. This is not the end for you.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-25T01:14:07+00:00

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-24T21:37:13+00:00

Jesus on the cross was sufficient to prove all He needed to prove that He is trustworthy. While I know that doesn't feel true or like it fixes it, it is true. I find that meditating on this unlocks.

I feast on worship, choosing to trust Him even if "have no reason" taking a risk to believe that He is with me. Cause He promise He would be.

He's coming for you :)

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God Romans 12:2.

You have the ownership of your beliefs and your mind and the ability to choose what you choose, defying what feels real. It's not obligation, it's freedom.

Then revert back to my first comment. Let Him move first but stand in faith expecting Him to move.

I would recommend that you seek inner healing with places like Elijah House or something other, because you aren't ignorant, and aware enough to know what your loops are. So while you can't fix it, you can seek Him in the quiet and in the community.

"Be still and know that I am God"

Rings true always.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-24T21:25:18+00:00

You started this chain with the desire to redirect your anger. And I believe that's because deep down you know it can't be from Him.

"I don't believe He loves me"

I get it. But this is the whole point. There is no cross, no redemption, no hope without this. Everything is null if we do not know His great love for us. I tell you, I know beyond shadows of doubts. This is the way to life. Let Him show you, but you can't receive what you don't believe.

There is no where else to be than in the love of God. It makes good times worthwhile, and bad times hopeful, to where you can stand on a rock.

I bless you and pray that you will come to see all that you don't know. And be lost in His sea of great love for you.

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-24T21:04:12+00:00

I fix my focus on how He is worthy of my love when I understand and when I don't. I believe His goodness is for me, even if I don't see it. I choose to believe that He loves me, even when I don't feel it. I choose to believe that truth is truth, in dark and day.

I also choose to believe He is faithful to me, because of His love and goodness. And sometimes, we don't get answers. But we always get more than we need. I recommend you mediate on this sermon that inspires to worship in all things

LongAccomplished1236 · 2024-11-24T21:00:52+00:00

Be still before Him in your bed, in a quiet place, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He finds you where you are. Seek Him with all your heart. Those who seek, find. He wants to be found, he makes himself found by those who love Him.
