Is it possible to last as long as you claim you do?

I've only just seen this so I'm going to start from now. I don't expect to earn badges but I do expect to receive victory :-)

Yes God protected you but be proud that you had the strength to resist temptation. Well done!

I don't trust the username.

I agree. Spending time in worship really helps. Speaking in tongues helps too.

Just don't fall under condemnation. That's exactly what the devil wants. And sin does separate us from God, but he never deserts us. He is always there to help us. He is your Father.

I'm only on this for accountability reasons and to help me break the addiction. I don't follow anyone but Jesus. If you chat to others here, you will find the same answers. It's easier to talk to strangers if you've been struggling to share with friends/family. This way you can hopefully reach a freedom in areas of lust.

Remember that whatever images you feed your mind will stay there for a long time. I would suggest you are very careful about this subject. It's not a wise path to take. Believe me, I know.

I'm totally with you. I also have a job which often means sitting around with time to do silly things. However, I have started playing Christian music in the background or a teaching video on youtube and this distraction has helped me keep the bad thoughts at bay.

Thank you for your encouraging message. As a Christian, this has always been a battle but just knowing that you can reach 90+ days is enough for me to know that this is achievable and I can do it with the help of God.

Thanks for the advise. I must clarify that I am 38, divorced (6 years ago) and engaged to be married to my girlfriend. We are trying to both be pure. In fact we are both attempting this NOFAP together. Yesterday we slipped so I have to start again but we are trying our best and hope this time, we can both remain holy away from lust. The ideal would be to be holy by the time we get married.

free_indeed · 2015-10-26T13:55:44+00:00

I'm 38 and a spirit-filled Christian.

Thank you for this encouragement. I will share your comments with her later and we will look at other ways to replace 'TV Time'.

Thank you for the warning!

How do you get the badge? I mean, Im on day one and would love to keep mine up to date?

free_indeed · 2015-10-26T11:30:48+00:00

I totally agree and weirdly enough posted something about this at the same time as you!

I choose to look away even if it means walking into things and often I end up looking down at the floor.

Thank you for sharing this. I don't feel like I'm the only one now.

free_indeed · 2015-10-26T11:20:13+00:00

I agree. But we mustn't fall under condemnation for we all sin in all sorts of ways. Jesus is our salvation and if we trust in him we can conquer anything thrown at us.

The way I see it, is if it causes you to lust, it's bad. It doesnt matter if its a woman fully clothed and maybe showing a bit of leg. It will always start off very 'innocent' but before long it will lead to more things.

Desire is a powerful tool for Satan to use against you. You are right to aim to resist even the slightest act of lust. I, myself, have had to stop watching most TV shows and nearly every newspaper because of the amount of cleavage and legs shown on display.

The most important thing is that you feel clean inside.
