Tim Ross on quitting masturbation, sex outside of marriage, & more | @TheBasementPodcast 

I needed this because the struggle has been real. 3 years single and nothing but tempation all around. The deeper I go in my walk with Christ, the more temptation I'm faced with. Ive literally had to distance myself from certain people and environments in order to keep my thoughts pure and from falling into sin. Patiently waiting on my future spouse ❤️🙏🏽.

Some of the toughest things to deal with within our flesh and walk with God this popped up as I was having thoughts about all of them and it's hard

Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sin is left”

Been struggling with masturbation for the longest, I’ll do good for about two weeks, then go right back to day zero. It’s hard, it is so hard. But God, given me so many ways to stay fed spiritually, for example the B side, and Tim Ross.

Her struggle was so deeply relatable. I thank her for expressing herself honestly, and it helps to know that I am not the only one having this same experience. And thank you for your wisdom. God bless

Man! She is me and i am her. I felt everything that woman said. The struggle is real

I love that- I would add to it that discipline is not doing what you don’t want to do. Discipline is not doing what you WANT to do. Which is why we will fall short but we have to accept the fact that we will make mistakes and we can strive to do better. That’s why it’s called self control. It’s a process not a light switch.

Matthew 5:30 “And if your right hand causes you to fall into sin, chop it off and throw it away. It's better that you lose a part of your body than that your whole body go into hell.”

It was just last night I was having thoughts about my attractions to the same sex, and I have given up a lot of things but this one was hard. Finally last night I finally gave it up, because I felt secure in my attractions, but God really spoke to me and said it's time, and I prayed and I finally decided that I don't have to hold on to it anymore. It really comes down to sacrificing what you love for the God you love. There is joy in that, to know that you have fully committed your flesh to God, regardless of temptation. At this point, what do I have to lose.

This is the realest thing I’ve heard to where I’m at in my life currently. I thank you Monique for being vulnerable and asking this question I’ve been asking my self for months. During times where I’m sinning I do hear that voice in my head (the self god is calling me to be) trying to push my flesh or old self through whatever I’m doing currently. I hear songs of praise and worship music in the midst of my sinful nature and I’ve couldn’t explain this feeling for a while but it’s makes sense. I had two guys one random and one who I went to high school with that I haven’t heard from that’s Gods calling me higher and I just believe I’ve been ignoring the signs or one just not ready to fully believe and die to my old self yet. This explanation by Tim makes so much sense

Sir! I needed to hear that TODAY. Thank you for being obedient to the spirit of God

This is one of the best explanations of sin I’ve heard

I love when people are to the point about this subject because people are unsure at times and just saying the truth not tipping around it is what we need to

This brought me to tears! As a believer who accepted Christ very young, I can relate to the young lady because I’ve been there. I was so bound by shame/guilt and laws of religion. Took God chasing me for years to understand his grace and love. I hope Tim’s reply encouraged and blessed this lady!

Love the transparency. I felt everything she said 🙌🏾

Lord not even one minute in this pod cast and im emotional 😢

Thank you for this, man! Thank you Monique for being Vulnerable! This was STRAIGHT FORWARD!

Just because God’s grace doesn’t have an expiration date, doesn’t mean we don’t! I love how he broke it down

Love your messages brother

MANN i love this. Thank you so much Tim. We need more Grace preachers!

Thank you … this was so good ‼️🔥

Thank you. I needed this.

Perfect timing💎

Thank you. I need to hear this. You blessed me.

Spicy topics! Thank you for taking this head on PT! 💯

Thank you Pastor Tim ♥️🔥

She spoke my heart 😢

Going along with what he said, you have to change your identity, if you’re OK with sin, you’ll always be a sinner, therefore identify as a sinner, but if you put God first and identify as a faithful servant, sin will be less tempting and easier to resist. Similar to if you were a smoker you can’t just quit until you change your identity. “I’m not a smoker anymore” “I’m not a sinner anymore” of course we all sin but your need for gods grace will be far less than wherever you are now.

Thank you! This was truly a blessing for my soul. Appreciate her truth, which has been mine.

This made me super emotional ... I needed this right now and said in this manner. I feel calm and at ease with the decisions that need to be made. Trust & Obey❤

Good day Mr Ross. Wow, you spoke to me. I feel like Monique exposed a couple of issues I've been dealing with... Thank you for your assistance

Dang GOD I know you hear us all but dannnngggg the conviction😳😳😳 you SOB AND I THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME THIS NAPKIN🙌🏾🙏🏾💫 thank you both for this 💯💯💯

Man!! This is good stuff do you have the full episode?

Amen I needed to hear this

I needed to hear this. I struggle with the same things and this message was not only well spoken but it was on time.

After watching this video, I got the question. Will I choose to give in to this temporary sense of pleasure over the loving relationship I have with God? It makes me have to identify what is more important to me. And this goes back to God giving us free will to choose. Is the connection with God more important than a temporary sense of pleasure?

Glad it's a safe space for believers without beating them up ...The world offers so temptation only God can deliver in his timing .Being honest is the first step , praying all our struggles come to a end father we need strength to defeat these giants!!!

Man you taught this beautifully ❤❤❤

This question! I needed

Wow this was perfect timing

Wow!!! He answered her perfectly!!!

As I’m watching this Galatians 2:20 is my verse of the day. 🤯 I hear you God and I understand.

Thanks I needed this one.

I so love this show because he keeps it real. And people can be them without being beaten up people for their struggles. People are human

Wow… right on time Sir

And this is how you can tell someone who had been anointed to teach from someone who can spit out scriptures. Thank you Tim for practically explaining the process of how one gets to the point where they understand the impact that their sin has on their closeness with GOD.

FROM 8:39 ONWARD..... MY SILENCE IS TO LET THE SOBERNESS OF THAT FACT SINK IN!!. OUCH! THANK Q

If you’re a Christian struggling with sexual sin or any habitual sin, please read Jeremiah and see yourself as Israel. It will convict you and save your life, it’s what it’s doing for me now.

This is soooo Good

Dope vid 🔥

I love the first question!

Man this hit home!!!!! One love my brother!!! Glory to Yeshua!!!

That tweet/thread... 😮👏🏾

I stumbled across your channel today, and I’m already blessed by it. Glory to God. 🙏🏽

That was so good…… 💯👏🏾

Thank you Tim. God bless you!

“One saved us for being eternal disconnected with god . The other may have saved us for meeting him early “ this line gotta be a reminder what I need to hear bless you brother ✝️

Wow this was powerful

That last quote was body rocking!

This message has set me free of old habits and bondage to sin.

Well said sir!!!

i friggen love yall

I’ve learned God’s Love.. he literally loved me out of most parts of sin. Especially these… it doesn’t mean I don’t have my moments.. it just means I can run to God and know that I am forgiven and continue running the race.

Thank you!

Wow that was powerful!

Wow wow wow! Good take

This was very timely the crucifixion of the flesh! it’s not that I don’t enjoy physical pleasures I actually do but it’s not in agreement with Christ and it’s actually a barrier from experiencing God in totality and impeding my growth in him. It is a must that I establish and practice boundaries.

This the one!!!

MIC DROP AT THE END!!!!! MY GOD TODAY!!!!!!

Hebrews 5:8 "though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered."

Pastor Tim, thank you so much for coming into the basement. Thank you for creating a space for Gods people to be true and transparent. Your love is so tangible. I can feel it over here. Bless you so much Man of God. 😢❤

Awesome!!!

I WANNA KNOW WHERE EXACTLY DOES SOMEONE SEND THESE QUESTIONS TO THE PODCAST???

this is goooddddd

I ask that you guys pray for me I slipped into the addiction of pornography and I got free and I ask that you guys pray for me to stay free🙏🏾 also trust me to whoever is reading this if anybody is, if God can forgive me and help me then he most def can do it for you pleases never give up🙏🏾

I love the way you encourage your colors. Keep up the good work bro.. What happened that I would say that God does call us to hate what he hates and to love what he loves as we have multiple scriptures to back this . Psalm 97 is a good start. I do agree that we have to work our way to that hate but we are definitely called to hate what he hates and love what he loves . I think we can all share experiences where we both hated and loved something . The quest is for us to hate it more than we love it, and he will bring us to a fullness on that day. That was the only area where I thought what was said, could be taken in a different way, and you may have even been saying it that way, but we are definitely supposed to pursue, hating what God hates and loving what he loves . Much love, Bro.

Tough but great word! You didn't have to drop the mic like that tho! Lol

praises to the most high for you and juliet

Interesting, i in all my years as a christian have never heard that you may still like your sin but you must refuse it. For years i beg God to make me hate my sin, to help me get away drom it but i ghank you for making it clear that i may never enjoy abstaining drom the things my flesh enjoys. Thisbis a big revelation

This was good! Thank you ! I love the scripture ”I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”“ ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God is on time.. I needed to hear this.. I just wish I had a stronger in person community of faith... Walking alone with God is so hard and scary. Yes I understand seasons where it's necessary but how can I grow if I don't have people who are really dying everyday to themselves walking with me? I pray God sends these kinds of loving people my way.

Help me out so much

I appreciate this message, and I thank God for leading me. I'm struggling with past sin, but I'm in the process of crucfying my flesh. I pray that God can keep me as I let go of past sins because it is a struggle to keep from falling into temptation of the flesh when your heart and soul are calling out to God 🙏 thank you so much for this message ❤ I receive God love and direction for his plan for my life. I pray that God keeps us all and that he covers us under the Blood of Jesus in his name I pray, Amen 🙏 ❤

Your response 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Amen !

Prayin for u Monique🙏🏾

Amen 🙏🏾

Thankful for this video and all these comments. I know I have to do something I don’t want to do but for Christ I’m willing. I have to let go of a relationship He did not call me to. We have not done these things that were spoken about in the video but maybe He is trying to protect me before I do fall into these sins. Thankful for that women who spoke up.

Brother may I give you some advice I pray you take it. In your thumbnails and in your videos don't use any of those sites logos even if it's kind of blurred out people who are familiar with those sites will easily fall in temptation just looking at that.. I remember years ago I was watching a brother in Christ kind of the same thing you were doing and he had to blurred out but I knew what website it was and all that . All I was thinking was about that website instead of listening to what he had to say. Keep in mind that the people watching this video are vulnerable and are trying to find a way to get out of that temptation. any little Pebble on the floor will make them stumble and fall i speak from experience. People addicted to that are not "strong" enough to ignore that like its nothing. Keep that in mind I tell you as a brother and with love God bless you and your ministry

The end though, that’s real talk.

Thank you for your finishedddd work Lord Jesus Christ ! 💎

I hear you Holy Spirit.

Powerful

Soft and good for the soul

Very relatable pray for her n me aswell

Can someone answer this for me: why would we want to meet God early though? I understand the entire clip. Just towards the end.. someone please help me understand that part.

Dr Myles Munroe 's sermon the power of the subconscious mind liberated me from more than 15 years of masturbation and porn addiction. Thank God for his goodness

Dang. That last line tho...

I have been struggling a long time with masturbating and porn things I was introduce to at a young age and wish I wasn't introduce cuz it became a problem and by not having the right leadership coming up had everyb saying it's okay when it wasn't

Wow that’s all I can say. This was so hard to hear.
