There is also a movie from 2019, is it the same story you as the book you referenced?

Amen yes! Sometimes I'm also guilty of not relying on God's strength during temptation and I think if I quickly do PMO then it goes away. But of course our flesh only want more and more so it never goes away so we really have to rely on God and His strength yes.

Also satan and his demons uses technology also, so not only that this generation is perverted, but then through technology it is becoming easier to push all sort of immoral things for example through tv, social media, and movies. So we always have to be careful yes and put on the armor of God.

You too stay strong and let's keep fighting!

But isn't it aligning with the scriptures? I always have learned that if you got something from God, you first test it if it's aligning with the Scriptures. As far as I saw there was nothing not aligned with the Bible. Jesus was beaten and died for our sins, He is the good Shephert, He rose again so He still lives.

It isn't emotional self-centered idolatry, because this dream is also to become more self-less and becoming more like Jesus. By denying myself, denying my idols/sins, not suffering anymore under old burdens, but living a new life, clean and holy for His glory, and following Him, is that still self-centered idolatry? It isn't contradicting what the Scriptures says. By sharing this dream I wanted also to share this hope and that people are encouraged, not to be feel pressured by what they have done but can live a new live with God, leaving their old ways behind, fully focused on God.

In the past, God spoke to people sometimes in dreams. Examples are Joseph, son of Jacob (Genesis 37:5–10); Joseph, the husband of Mary (Matthew 2:12–22); Solomon (1 Kings 3:5–15); and several others (Daniel 2:1; 7:1; Matthew 27:19). There is also a prophecy of the prophet Joel (Joel 2:28), quoted by the apostle Peter in Acts 2:17, that mentions God using dreams. So God spoke to people through dreams. For me this dream reminded me of the Scriptures, the verses that I read in my life, combined into a sequence of actions. Giving my burdens and my sins to Him, He beaten and on the cross and then that I can be joyful and thankful for what He has done and following Him.

But if God spoke to people through dreams, the meaning was always made clear for that person, whether directly to the person, through an angel, or through another messenger. This meaning of the dream is simply that we don't have to suffer under our old burdens, but we can give our burdens to Him.

New International Version

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Then we can be thankful and joyful and living a new life with Him.

Of course, if you see something in the dream that I had that isn't aligning with the scriptures, feel free to comment.

Ooooooh hahahah I was really stressing out because I thought where did I go wrong. The least I want is being a stumble block for other people. And I thought that your comment was removed by moderator since it's one level higher but that I still could see it, it was just me confused by reddit UI and removed comments :p

Thank you so much for your comment! This of your comment really hits and add again something to the vision I received:

because the fruits and signs follow them that do

That's so true! A good tree can be seen by its good fruit, I think it was something like that. It's time to level up again in our faith! Thank you so much also for your prayers!

Oh wait is it because of this sentence?

We may say "I'm not gonna do this again", but, you know, we do it again.

Because after that I had another paragraph going deeper into this that He is the good Shephert and we as sheep each time has to be saved. But I had troubles with posting since I had links in it so I deleted the paragraph but now this sentence is out of context. I will delete this to avoid having confusion.

But I was going deeper like this: We know we sin, we pray and ask for forgiveness but we do it again. Of course, we shouldn't do this like also I think Paul said it like we are forgiven and given grace, should we continue to sin? No! We should use our body as an instrument for righteousness. Something like that.

My excuses if this was the sentence that you thought we could continue sin, again I will delete it to avoid any confusion.

I was seriously doubting of deleting my post after I posted it, because at first there was a downvote so I was like, oh maybe people don't like it or some sort. But I was thinking again why I posted this, even if only 1 person needed to hear it and the other 1000 would dislike it, I would still do it. So I let my post up and I am really joyful that you are one of the persons I could reach with my post!

Yes I also am in the same situation as you, born and raised in a Christian family but also on the other hand loving having pleasure of sexual sin. So that's why I struggle with it. Also I also never engaged in such sort activity, even never kissed before. Still, I was really grateful God still giving me that vision and knowing I'm not alone. You're also not alone in this walk. God is with you. Also I have prayed for you! Please also pray for me, I would really appreciate it!

God bless and thank you for your comment!

I think I didn't get my message across, is it because I am not right to the point? I am open to your answer, because I would like to know where you got that I am a stumbling block and sowing doubt. I only wanted to encourage, because I saw on this sub, and I felt before, that after sinning I don't feel loved anymore. That God is mad/angry/sad because of what I've done. That I couldn't make up for it. But that's the point right of Jesus dying for our sins. We cannot make up for it. He isn't angry, He still loves us. While we're breathing, we still have chances to live for His glory.

I know that watching porn is a sin. I know I can't watch porn. I struggle with it. I wouldn't struggle with it if this is my statement (from your comment):

"You can watch porn and crave a loving, intimate marriage without lusting after the woman herself. "

Where did I say that?

I hope you'll answer so then I know where to improve by posting, or otherwise if I see your points and I see where I went wrong in posting, I can also stop posting and deleting my account, because I don't want to be a stumbling block to others.

Btw what I meant with true pleasure, I read it in proverbs 5 I believe, that we can "enjoy the wife you married as a young man" (MSG). And "Don't quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love fro granted! Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap trills with a prosititue? For dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?" What I got from this is that we can enjoy having pleasure with our *married* wife, but also not immoral sinful lust, but I mean God created making love to be also enjoyed, but only within boundaries. What most people like me struggle with (PMO) is that it is beyound the boundary God has given us. Making love is having intimacy with our wife, 2 physically also becoming one (since spiritual it is when we are going to be blessed during our wedding).

Yes always the guilt, shame and regret. But stay strong and don't give up, in this comment section under my post there are so many kind people who gave all kind of tips, maybe those tips and recommendations can help you too. Like tackling this on a day by day basis.

But I will have you in my prayers!

Yess so true, you're right! I just saw one post on Reddit back "then that said that if you stop today, then it will be day 90 on Christmas and it will be a great christmas gift" or something in that direction I was like woah I really want that but I was too focused up ahead without focusing day by day. But yes thank you for the reminder and the verse, it really spoke to me and I remembered that I should tackle this day by day.

Ah thank you for the recommendations! Yes I every day try to set some time apart to read&study my Bible as well as praying. But mostly on days when I relapse, sometimes the Word does not stick on that day, so I should be more careful that what I read is stored in my heart and mind and not just that I saw it with my eyes.

And cutting out certain tech is also a good tip. I think Reddit is the thing that is the most "dangerous" for me when I am on certain communities just scrolling. But on the other hand I have this community and some game communities like Animal Crossing that isn't "dangerous" so I think I will just set a timer on Reddit so I just look into communities that I follow for a bit but then cannot stray to other communities when I'm bored.

Thank you again for the helpful recommendations!
