Im a 17 year old boy and I started therapy over my p*** addiction. My mind for the last 6 years has been ruined by what I’ve seen online: girls, guys, unholy things, blood and misery, and my sense of holy internal and external purity was ruined. When my ex (the sweetest Christian girl I knew) broke up with me I knew it was time to change. Two weeks ago I was lying in bed unable to breathe because my soul was ripped from my body and I barely understood anything. He called me from the addiction, and I’m working on getting out. Despite being a “Christian” I actually found God when he gave me peace and showed me how I was living was wrong and I’m changing to be better. Progress is slow and I have slipped twice but I’m getting there! Pray for me as I walk, and thank you for the tips. ☺️ Edit: One month free, not watching that garbage every day has truly changed my life. I have fallen into sexual sin yes, but as a man it’s a lot harder for me not to adulterate in my mind and on social media(which I’ve been working to tune out) at all so I’ve resorted to asking for forgiveness and trying to not give into my bodily feelings as much. Thank you for the support I love y’all. Please keep praying for me the guilt and depression is hurting a lot.
I’ll pray for you. What’s crazy is I have the same story and I’m also 17 and legit it’s been 2 weeks since I really really took this seriously. I was born and raised Christian but only very recently do I know I have a relationship with God. Pray for me too please because it’s a great struggle of mine for years now
@@Learn2Sell The crazy started a year ago when God took away someone I loved after another, if I remember I’ll send you some tips my therapist gives me (I visit on Mondays) Will pray for you. Remember to put away your phone and don’t let images dictate your feelings. I personally got rid of my very expensive gaming computer to improve my connection to the outside and to God. My addiction to screens still exist but it’s getting better ❤️🩹 ***Also start journaling and if you’re self conscious hide it somewhere safe. Writing your feelings is very powerful and you’ll not regret it. Praying for you
I understand you, I'm also 17 and it used to be my plague as well, but now I know your greatest asset is the Holy Spirit. Rely not on your strength but its to help you. From what I've experienced, being reborn is the only way to accomplish this. God bless you.
Praying for both you young men! I’m almost 50, married with children… the struggle is real and the enemy puts in over time trying to pull you down. Keep your eyes on Him!!!
why is thought crime logical when you can think bad things and that’s the same as doing it but you can’t think good things that are the same as doing them
@@literallyjustdragons1902 when you look at a woman with lust or brother with hate your doing the opposite of holy and pure and leads to the path of the actual action of the sin when you think good things it means nothing because our works mean nothing and even if it did just thinking it doesn't mean anything it's when you actually put the good into action
Man, I almost cried watching this. Temptation, and failing because of it can break a human being. Sin is death disguised as pleasure. But GOD is so good. Thank you.
I’m someone with a p*** addiction. I’ve grown up in a Christian family, and one day came across this sinful thing. It became an addiction and something I was constantly watching behind the backs of my family. I still read the bible and spent lots of time with god while doing this. I’ve tried to stop but have always found myself falling into temptation to do it again. I don’t feel very attached to my family all the time, so I didn’t share this information yet. I’m hoping one day I will, but I don’t feel ready to tell anyone in fear they would tell others about it or they wouldn’t understand me. I broke down in tears watching this video, and prayed to god. I never felt so clean. I wanted to share this to strangers, and I hope that I will be able to share this with my family too one day.
My family doesn't know either except for my older sister. I don't want my parents to ever know what they'r daughter used to watch behind they'r back. It's shameful...... And the problem is even if I don't watch it anymore, I still have images in my memory and they sometimes pop out in my head, and sometimes I let them I say this to my shame. But God has helped me a lot, and I'm glad I stopped before it became an addiction. Don't give up, keep prayng. God will never leave us or forsake us. He promises that and He is unable to lie.
The addiction is what is harmful. The porn itself isn't sinful unless it causes you to lust over someone in your life. Be blessed and strength in your journey
@@EvaEsteranow I can't stop thinking of Jim Carrey in Liar Liar ... Hold on. In Bruce Almighty it never ever came up Bruce couldn't lie... But he just kept spitting truth.
When you mentioned our home in Heaven, I felt like crying, for I miss the place I've never been. This life is a struggle, but temporary, and we are not alone, others face it, and God is with us.
When I was young I came out of a very dysfunctional family and struggled with various temptations that I thought I could never have victory over. Now I am 66 years old and the Lord has brought me great victory. This video is spot on, a wonderful verses and presentation. My advice to those who are struggling so hard is, to take this farther and before you are tempted study scripture in this way. Get a note book and write out as many verses as you can on Gods love, Gods provision, Gods faithfulness, Gods shelter, Gods character, etc,.. As you are writing that is where your mind is so occupied with the things of God then you will find victory in your thinking in that moment and it will also prepare you as you come across your next temptation. Please get a note book and a bible encyclopedia, find subjects that pertain to your temptations and write, write, write, and find relief. Also write out those bible verses on 3 x 5 cards and take them with you wherever you go. You will discover that you become stronger and stronger, and have victory in Jesus in your life. May God bless you richly in your new found victory. His word and His presence. Your friend in Christ, JKA
Wow. I've never considered viewing temptation as something to thank God for because it produces patience, resistance, and character. This will surely help me resist giving into future temptations.
This isn't anything to really do with temptation, but I really wanted to share my encounter with God! I want it out there so people know how great God really is! I had a dream some months ago. In that dream I had gotten shot and I felt myself laying there dying. At first I tried to fight it and I felt sadness and fear. The more I drifted away from my life the more I felt peace and calm. I felt love. Not like any other love that my parents, friends, or brother would give me, but an indescribable love. As I laid dying I saw a light growing. It glowed brighter and brighter as I was losing my life. And as this light grew the peace, calm, joy, and most of all, love grew with it. I woke up soon after, but I firmly believe that was God taking me home to be with him. God's love is greater than any other. And the fact those feelings were so strong in that dream alone just goes to show that it is real. God is real. Jesus is real. And God wants everyone to feel his love! To everyone out there have an amazing day or night and thank you for reading my comment. Stay blessed and remember that Jesus loves you! ❤✝️
I'm 17 and i've been deep into sexual sins for almost 7 years +. Alot of times i feel like i'm the reason why things haven't gone so well with my family over the last 7, 8 years because it's when i got into addiction that we started having so many issues and challenges. I'm constantly fighting against the sins but sometimes it's like my body just freezes and i loose control. I strongly believe this is my year and i'm getting rid of every form of addiction and God is going to do something beautiful in my life, the life of my family and the life of those i love. Anyone who thinks they've been in any sin too long or too deep it's a lie from the devil. Fight and say no, no, no. The Devil won't come after you for that long if you're invaluable. That feeling of despair and lowliness you feel everytime you lapse i've felt it too. You're not alone, remember the Bible says you're also being tempted along with all your christian brothers and sisters. I can do it, you can do it, we can do it. Let's put the Devil to shame, one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time and before you know it years will fly by and that Demon would have no hold on us. Let this be an encouragement to anyone else out there going through the same thing. We are coming out, Amen
I’m also 17, and have been caught in an addiction to p0rn for much of my life. I am still trying to leave my addiction behind. I know the feeling you describe, when it seems that you lose control. Do not feel alone. Do not lose hope. God is with you, and you have fellow Christians with you to support you when needed. The energy in your comment is an encouragement. Hold on to that energy. I’m praying that God works in your life, and that He would wash away your addictions, and heal the scars that addictions often leave behind. But we know that even if we fail, Christ has succeeded. Through faith in Jesus we are saved, and I think there is great comfort in that. May this be the year that you are freed from sin!
@@Xelenteontae_ Made a whole alot of progress but not quite there yet. There's no denying God has rescued me and done alot of work on me, but he's not through yet.
That's insane thinking that the reason you struggle, lol. I can tell you it 100% is not. But hey if you like being brainwashed then absolutey stay with the cult.
I'm here bawling out my eyes 5am in the morning. I literally fell off and was feeling horrible and hopeless that I lost to temptation...again. thank you so much for the video😭
Hallelujah! Capitalize the G in “God” when you’re talking about our savior. Same with Jesus! Jesus loves you and is with you whoever is reading this and is also coming back! ❤
Thank you for this, I’ve struggled for 6 years on lust, last 3 being bad, I finally deleted social media and taking it a lot more seriously, I am finally calm for the first time in a long time. Thank you!
i weak mind cant be over stressed or it will break........ you would have ended it if you lived my life lol...... where i laugh my struggles off and continue on.
I am always comforted by scripture ❤Lord forgive me for my transgressions! Forgive me for sinning. I am genuinely repentant of my wrong doings. You are my Savior and Light . Your path is the Only way to Truth. I bow at Your feet. Have mercy on me my Lord. ✝️✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️✝️
When i face any form of temptation, before the temptation takes up a place in my mind, i quickly remind myself to move my focus to Him, play a series of worship songs and praise Him for all He has done for me. It works for me. ONLY ONE STEP WILL DO. When we walk a step closer to Him, He will be running closer to you. Hope it works for all that happened to read this message. God bless. Amen
When I saw the vid I didn't wanna to open it, but there is feeling telling me that I should open it! 😢😢. Thank u God! Plz forgive me and help me and all people that are lost! AMEN.
What I really like about Impact Video Ministries is how well the videos are made and how they touch your heart. Most Christian help/encouragement channels just put cinematic background videos in the background, which are still good but I like how Impact Video Ministries helps you understand better by drawing out the situation/solution, which too me (a young believer) helps. God Bless whoever runs this channel.
Thank you, brother for sharing these gems as they come straight from the Word of God! From last night up until this morning, I went through a very challenging moment of temptation. But thanks to the bountiful grace of God that stems from my faith in Christ Jesus and the conviction that I no longer am a child not born of the flesh but born of God, I was able to find a way out. So take heed, my dear brothers! Let us stand firm, for the Kingdom of God is coming!
Beautiful, encouraging to hear..Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hello, I thank the Lord so much, when I saw this video, I knew the Lord was the one who put it on my screen, when I clicked it, I felt safer, and happier, because I was just tempted now… I thank you God for these temptations, so you can give me patience 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This video popped up right when I needed it. God has truly blessed the people working on this channel with a great wisdom and understanding. Thank you Lord for these videos, and for leading me here right when I needed it!
This is what i was struggling with to get rid to lustful thoughts and get rid of falling again and and again into temptation...Thanks for this video more grace and anointing❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video! May God bless you. I love how you have steps in each video. I’ve heard a lot of “this is like this” and “it’s this way”, but these practical and realistic steps make it so much more clear. Thank You, Jesus!!! ❤
Thank you so much I am on my mom's phone right now but I would like to say that you have helped me do much with every video of yours I watch and you are truly God sent to me because I prayed to God to what he wants for me to do or know and I found your channel and it answered all those things. I am truly blessed to have you never stop making videos please
Thank you for this video. Short and right to the point. The last month I've been thinking on what to do when I'm tempted. And you just gave me the answer. Thank you brother for all your work. Thank you and God bless.
I'm so blessed by this. I've struggled with addiction to p*rnography for as long as I remember and it had completely devastated my walk with God, up on till this moment. This message has strengthened my heart to stand up again❤ Thank you.
I'm having a m*ster B*te problem (that's probably a horrible way to sensor it) and for for the past 3 or 4 days and today iny sleep it happened again, I'm trying to fight the temptation more eand now I think the only problem now is in my sleep, God bless ✝️💖
This video has come at the right time. I fallen into addiction and I thought to myself, I've failed so I'm going to give in. This video has made me realise that the LORD is strong and victorious 🙌👑.
I had come back to God about 2 months ago. I've been sober 4 months , no smoking, no drinking, no vaping. But I had 2 cocktails last night and now I feel guilty. And even felt guilty after I ordered it. But I did it anyway. Cuz I convinced myself it's not a sin because I wasnt drunk. Not even tipsy. But I pray the Lord is patient with me. And forgives me. And I definitely needed this today.
You are such an amazing imspiration to those wanting to become closer to God. Ive been really trying to put into practice Jesus' teachings, and you have helped me understand his words much better. We thank you, for your kindness, and we thank God for giving you such an amazing testimony and love for his words! Keep changing the lives of those around you!.
My goodness. Thank you for following your calling and speaking these words of truth. My brother. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you! May God bless you abundantly.
Thanks for this video. It was amazing and it was very helpful and educational. Thanks for sharing your wisdom on RU-vid to help us become better Christian’s and come closer to god
I actually came across your videos by accident (maybe???). I am an artist myself but not as good as you are at the cartoonish style you use. I guess because of my love for art and being a visual type person I have really enjoyed your videos! You have found a wonderful and unique way to spread God's word and I so thank you for it! I am definitely hooked. Keep making these great videos and I pray God blesses you greatly for your hard work and talent. Your brother in Christ.
Amen! I have been having trouble with being tempted and now I know god is with me even when I’m being tempted and has won and made a way out already and made a way to make my relationship with him stronger!
Thank you Lord For sending this man to help me with temptation I have been struggling. Amen thank you 🙏🏻!!!!!!! And thank you for telling me these things that I did not know about!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
