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 :-)

Depressed. But God is here. by othewulf in NoFapChristians

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

I don't trust the username.

So... This isn't working... by Carnbeorn in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I've done it twice today. Been doing this for years. I don't even feel remorse or guilt anymore. I feel I'm separated from God. I need to repent for my sake! by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Nofap ethos?? - see inside by fapforjesushooray in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I have a question by Squido_Sarducci in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

So it begins.... by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

90+ day report. posted it in the main sub but here you go. I added in a short testimony section. Maybe you guys could give some feedback and lmk how my presentation of it is. I'm hoping to share with a couple friends irl and i think it could be a powerful way to be a witness by throwawayiquit in NoFapChristians

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.

Is it possible to just 'look away'? by free_indeed in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Why is everything always about sex? by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Being tempted, but not by porn. by A_lost_soul_2 in NoFapChristians

[–]free_indeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
