Please pray for me to be saved
Tue, 02/23/2010 - 11:33
I have been a porn addict since I was about 12 and I have been trying to give up since I was 14. I am now 18 and I am still addicted. I also have a masturbation addiction whic doesn't help things for me either and it is really getting to me that I promised God that I would finally give it all up and yet I haven't succedded. Please pray for me, that I may be saved and healed in Jesus' name from my porn addiction and my masturbation addiction, and also please pray that I may be able to feel and accept Jesus' undying love.
Thank you all, God bless everyone.

Dear Robbie,
Take heart, your desires will not go unfulfilled!
We are encouraged in Phillipians 2:11-13 ... continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Yes, it is God Who is working in you to will (want) to have healing for your addiction. That's right. And God will answer that prayer. How do I know? Elementary my dear Watson! Because what you're asking for is in accord (in line) with God's will.
1 John 5:14-15: This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask a-n-y-thing *according to His will,* He hears us. And if [because] we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that WE HAVE what we asked of Him.
It's a done deal because it's according to God's will.
So simple even a Child ;-) can understand it.
Romans 8:31 & 35 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? [Answer: No one! Not even ourselves.]
vs. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Answer: No one...] shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[Addiction...]
God be with you, Robbie, as you continue to seek His perfect will for your life.

I want you to know that we care and that we are rooting for you as you press on to victory in Christ! And failing doesn't mean the Jesus isn't with you or is disappointed in you....He loves you with an outragous love, so much that He died for you....
I have found that turning your sights on Him when you are tempted stops alot of the temptation, praise music helps turn your desire to Him and away from what is wrong...
I hope that helps, to know we are praying and that we care about you
Much love!

I am so glad that you found this site. Talking about your problems with other who share similar problems can help you, and God wants to help you.
Taking the first step of posting is the first step to getting free! I know everyone will be praying for you
Peace and blessings!

I’m rather reserved in sounding so bubbly and happy, realizing you very well could be living in a pit of despair struggling to make your body yield to the desire to embrace God at the level of expectation your heart cries out to manifest in obedience. I can assure you your heavenly Father sees you much differently then you are currently seeing yourself. He loves you dearly, and cherishes you, He is overwhelmed to restore, mend and comfort you in your distress. He looks into your heart and sees the DNA of His potential that desires to overcome/grow forward into His likeness bearing His ability in the weakness you both partner together to over come.
Do you have a support and accountability men’s group surrounding you? I noticed no one responded other then UnderOath.
Do you know just the fact you are grieved at the fact your offence towards your body and God, causes the Lords heart to turn in mercy and take notice of your soul estate, He calls you beautiful. I must tell you, He would delight to reach out to comfort you. Do you have a father active in your life who is healthy and a emotional support to you? [edited by admin] :)
Your friend here for you~

Thank you very much to everyone who has commented on my post, I wasn't sure at first if it would be answered or not but now I know that I'm not alone, thanks to everyone and God bless :)
Eden, here's a few answers to some of your questions:
1. No, I do not have a father in my life, he abandoned me and my Mum before I was born and has never had anything to do with my life. I see my Grandfather as an Earthly male role model in my life, if not for him then I probably wouldn't be on this site.
2. I may have a few inclinations but most of the time It's just joking around with some of my friends and I don't tend to irritate anyone, at least I don't think so.
I would be very interested in your online references, if you could please be kind enough to show me.
Thank you very much and God bless :)
Its a pleasure to connect Im glad to help, Ill send those links attached to the private message you sent, so nice to know you are looking up in desiring to merdge into the Lords process, He is faithful to meet you and walk with you. Ill get that to you :)
A freind~

hello welcome glad you found us here
I Pray for you in Jesus name that Jesus will set you free from all addictions and strongholds holding you back I ask that Jesus will come into your life and change you set you free and help you to live a life of purity. Amen
Take a look around here theres loads of helpful information. Do you go to a church? I would encourage you to get involved with one start serving other people if you can take the foucs off yourself. Jesus wants to set you free and he will but some times healing can be a long process If you contine to stumble make sure you get up Gods grace is sufficant for you and this will hold you together. Keep running the race
Hebrews 12 1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that isset before us, 2looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
