THE PORNOGRAPHY 

Pornography is a booming industry because sex sells and appeals to the senses.

Is there any way out for porn addiction ? 

How to overcome addiction to pornography?

Our beloved Creator designed sex to be a wonderful gift. It is a way for those who are married to physically discover true unity with each other. However, the Bible is full of precautions and warnings so that we avoid sexual immorality in any of its forms, knowing its painful reality. Flee from fornication. Any other sin that man commits is outside the body; but he who fornicates sins against his own body ”(1 Corinthians 6:18).

Many books and therapists, working from a perspective that recognizes Biblical laws, are available to assist you in this fight. This addiction requires a very loving and mercifully trained partner that we know well, that is, a person who really helps us in that battle and not the one who calls us “pervert” and condemns us with his self-righteousness. Some human beings can be like this, but fortunately God is NOT like that.

The four-step process below is not very detailed, but it will probably give you a new perspective on how to overcome the addiction of pornography.

The Four Step Program

1. Don't justify yourself anymore and recognize addiction as a sin.

Many of us know that porn addiction is definitely a bad thing, but there are people who seem to find a way to justify what they are doing: "God gave me these natural needs," "I need to relieve my stress," "My wife just I am not satisfied "," they are just fantasies ... it is not real "," I cannot do anything ... I am addicted ".

Pornography addiction can last for many years without even getting to the point of the physical act of committing adultery or fornicating. However, according to Christ that would make the person spend years dedicated to sin, regardless of whether the actual physical act exists or not. Jesus Christ explained: "But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). To be honest: a porn addict has sinned in his mind - every time.

But secular authorities will say that having fantasies is healthy; that prevent us from actually doing things that can be harmful to us and to other people. To tell the truth, fantasies that treat as an object, use, degrade and belittle other human beings, cannot be healthy; they are sin — especially if we are longing to turn to God.

As with other addictions, what are we replacing God with? Are we choosing the desire of the human body above the path of God? Do we want images and experiences with the human body more than the wonders and blessings of our Creator, even in the area of ​​marriage and sex?

2. Learn to hate sin as much as God hates it and understand why.

It is very easy to know why God hates pornography, once we admitted that this addiction is a sin and we must overcome it. God is a loving father who wants everyone to follow his way of life, which brings true joy and happiness.

Imagine for a moment what God will think when he sees that so many of his children are being used as sexual objects. Porn addicts don't care in the least about the welfare of others when they watch a video on the internet or when they use an adult chat room. Perhaps only loving parents can understand the anguish of God when he sees his precious children, people he knows by name, being used and thrown out for sexual pleasure. It also sees us, causing our minds to become distorted with a destructive perspective on sexuality that destroys all kinds of relationships.

Also, this is an industry that makes sex without love very attractive, completely destroying the concept of God, of the deep and true unity of two human beings united in marriage. Discuss how sex, this wonderful and delicate gift of God, becomes dirty without a trace of decency. Hating this sin shouldn't take hours of "woe is me!" and "how did I get to this?" It should involve a deep hatred for the cruel and destructive nature of sin.

3. Make any sacrifice that is necessary

Turning around self-pity only leads to a relapse. When we repent, a new day awaits us and God is eager to help us. Sure, we must make sacrifices. With the help of our responsible colleagues, we must be willing to activate the blockers and filters on our computers, be willing to have others monitor our activity on the web, and change our multimedia viewing habits as soon as possible. We should avoid seeing any kind of suggestive image, movie, television program or scantily clad person walking down the street. If we really want freedom, we cannot continue to be enslaved to Satan's attractive version of sex: dirty, taboo and easily accessible whenever we want.

The body will often reject these sacrifices and will want to return to its old wanderings with the justifications that the sacrifices are impractical. They are not, in fact; it is the meat that works against us. In Mark 14:38, Christ mentions how this unexpected turn can occur: “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. "

4. Replace addictive behavior with positive behaviors

Something so reserved will come back constantly and more if we have been allowing it for years. When you return, you will be faced with a very different vision of sex: God's perspective. God's vision of sex is firmly anchored in the context of love between a husband and wife. Learning to love others instead of seeing them as sexual objects is a very good way, among many, to start. Focus more on personality and sense of humor than on the body. Longing to help others in their trials and also to pray for them.
