Question:
Answer:
One thing is certain, very few people have the strength and will power in them to kick an addiction as strong as pornography, so how does one do it practically? By handing it over to God, as we have no power in us to change ourselves.
If you want to be transformed, freed from your addictions, you have to turn your entire life over to Him, daily, hourly, every second if you must. He then works in and through you to wipe out the addiction. This statement is not just a theory, but a proven fact. Start every day by saying to God: “Lord, I have no good thing in me, so I hand over to you my mind, my life, my time, my money, everything. Live in me today, and work in me to transform me. Lead me every step of the way through the temptations that lie ahead, and change me this day more and more into your image”. And He does! It may take some time, and you may fall into temptation and watch again, but turn it over to Him again, and He will do what is necessary. Often you will have to say: “Lord, forgive my thoughts, take control of my mind, and lead me where you want me to go, because if my thoughts follow their normal way, we both know where it will end!”
Nobody need be an addict to anything, for God is able to do everything that is needed to transform us! And remember, God wants to save you, He wants to forgive you, but most of all He wants to change you into His image, as He designed you to be.
Proverbs 3 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own under-standing; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Don’t give up on God, He is able to do so much more than you think!
