What’s the trouble with Lust, Prayer

   

Dear God, you know that I have a problem with lust and I confess this to you right now as sin, and ask that you would forgive me. I renounce and repent of all forms of sexual sin, sexual perversion, pornography, masturbation, lustful imaginations, and anything else that has broken your sexual laws; and I commit myself to walking in what’s right from this day. In the name of Jesus I bind up all evil spirits of sexual sin, lust and perversion that have been active in my life and I forbid you from entering again. Help me God to remain free from all lust and sexual sin, also purify my mind and spirit from all the sexual images and abuse that I have put it through. Heal me inside and out and make me sexually whole again. Lord strengthen me so that I can meditate on Your word instead of the things that bring me down. Thank you for forgiving me, healing me, and for helping me to change. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

The Fully Surrendered Christian – The First Steps

The Lordship of Jesus Christ

Helping Christian men and women who struggle with pornography and sexual immorality to live a life free under the Lordship of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

– The Holy Spirit Removes the Veil – 

Men, when we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour, it also involves recognition of His lordship, for the Saviour who saved us when we received Him by faith is the LORD Jesus Christ. We cannot and do not receive Him as Saviour only. We receive Him as Lord and Saviour. Some believers may surrender everything immediately, but for others it may take a few months, or even years.

For me, personally, I was happy to know Jesus as my Saviour but not as my Lord for several years, although I was familiar with the name Lord, knew the term and understood its meaning, I wasn’t in a big hurry to apply it to my life and my circumstances.

Putting it simply I was happy to be living saved, that was it, I’d done it, made the decision – heaven here I come, only when I’m ready of course.

It all became clear one Sunday morning. I was in church worshiping, pouring myself out and opening myself up to the Holy Spirit, praying THE dangerous prayer asking the Lord to “search me, use me, send me; break my heart Lord for what breaks yours” and right from that moment there in Church my whole world was torn apart. I had given the Lord the permission that He was looking for and my life was never going to be the same again.

Right away, the Holy Spirit removed the veil that had being deceiving me for years and revealed how my involvement in pornography was breaking the Lord’s heart. What? Here I was ready to make the ultimate sacrifice but so blinded that I couldn’t see the plank in my own eye!

 

– A Tough Call to Make –

Quickly, and very quickly, the Holy Spirit started to convict me big time.  Overnight I birthed a godly hate for what I was involved in, but still I was tied to my sin and found it hard to break free. So was I “a dog returning to it’s vomit” or a “washed sow going back to it’s mud’” 2 Peter 2:22

Shortly afterwards, I heard a teaching on the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and through that lesson I knew what was missing.  No longer was “living to be saved” enough, I had to give up my personal rights, hand over my ownership deeds and totally surrender to His obedience. It was a tough call to make, but I finally realised the price that I had been purchased with and laid it all down.

Phil 29:9-11 – Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Such an important question requires more than a surface answer. For Jesus to become Lord of a person’s life, this involves absolute and total surrender. I can think of no better example of total surrender than F. B. Meyer.

 

– F B Meyer –

He was a Baptist preacher and pastor of Christ Church in the heart of London in the nineteenth century. In the midst of a successful ministry, F. B. Meyer confessed that something was lacking in his life and ministry. Click here to understand and be challenged by how F B Meyer lived his life and witness.

1 Cor 6:17-20 – but he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body and your spirit which are God’s.

Others can mess around, you cannot – you were bought at a price, you belong to Jesus. You are His purchased possession. When a person surrenders to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, he or she acknowledges His ownership and gives up his or her personal rights.

Can you see that through this verse you are joined to Jesus? So that means that you cannot do what you feel like doing because you are accountable to Him. He purchased you with a price.  What was the cost of that purchase?

1 Peter 1:19 tells us exactly what the cost was: but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot

How does this sacrifice impact you and your view on Jesus being your Lord?

Of course the Lordship of Jesus Christ involves every aspect of our lives; but with this ministry we are dealing with our sexuality.

 

– Satan’s Bait –

Pornography has now become a Global Slave market for Satan, where the hearts and minds of people are chained to lust, perversion and immorality. This is HUGE.  It’s massive – every society and every age group right across the globe has been effected and infested by it’s toxic poison. Let the seriousness of this impact you right now as you consider how many lives could be changed and how many people could be set free if we surrendered our sexuality to the Lordship of Jesus . Pornography, adultery, fantasy, lust, rape, gang rape, fear of rape, fornication, bi-Sexuality, homosexuality, lesbianism, child-pornography, sex trafficking, molestation, call girls/escorts services, rent boys, pimps, prostitution, promiscuity, misogyny, masturbation, std, hiv, aids, swinging, dogging, group sex, perversions, paedophilia, incest, abortions, unwanted pregnancies, under age pregnancies, massage parlours, brothels, adult book stores, red-light districts, peep shows ,erotic dancers, strippers/ strip clubs, divorce, defilement, cyber-sex, Bestiality, voyeurism, bondage, S&M, transvestism, sexual abuse, sexual harassment-assault- torture-murder, sex tourism, exploitation also the 100’s of paraphilias associated and not forgetting the Billions of dollars that could be saved.  All the suffering hurt and pain associated with this could be completely and permanently wiped out if we decided to put Jesus on the Throne.

 

.– Are You Feeling Beaten and Bruised? –

The Satanic firestorm of pornography has consumed society and now it’s ready to consume the Church unless we do something about it. So how long are you going to allow yourself and your family to be slapped, beaten, kicked and punched around by pornography?  When is the penny finally going to drop that pornography’s only aim is to corrupt society and finally conquer the church?

The more you allow Satan to “lord” it over you, the more you will yield to his power. The more time we spend pursuing this reckless lifestyle the unhappy we will be.  Becoming dissatisfied and disgruntled at what God had created to be enjoyed by His children through marriage.

Men, if Jesus isn’t Lord over your sexuality, that means you have given notice to the enemy that it’s up for grabs and judging the list above you will probably be in bondage to at least one of those perversions.

If you are serious about this battle, you will need Jesus to be Lord over every area of your life.  Consider how Joshua conquered the Promised Land.  God give it to him as he was able to claim the land, and to be realistic you probably won’t be ready to fully surrender every aspect all at once.  I know I couldn’t, but God made a start.  When He got the go-ahead, He decided to start with the biggest idol in my life; pornography.  When that was finally conquered, the rest of those un-surrendered areas started to fall into place.

There can only be ONE Lord over your life, you cannot serve two masters Matt 6:24.  So if you want Jesus to be your Lord, you can start with this prayer:

– Are You Ready for the Challenge? –

The Lordship of Jesus Christ means He has absolute control over your life. So I am challenging you now to take a look at what the Bible has to say about the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Pray that God will give you an open mind to see the claim of Jesus on your life. This understanding will change your life dramatically; that’s if you have the” I’ll do whatever it takes” attitude towards freedom and to bring glory to God.

What are you bringing to this fight?

By whose Strength?

The chances are that in the past you have tried to break free from the ungodly hold that pornography, masturbation and immorality has over your life and have failed – most likely for all the wrong reasons.

 

– Who are you really doing this for? –

So what was your main reason for seeking freedom in the first place?  Was it to save your marriage or ministry after being found out?  Was it a pride issue, to feel better about yourself or to look good in the eyes of others? (self-preservation) Did you ever think of doing it to glorify God? Or maybe you have triumphed and found freedom for a season.  However, before you were able to announce your success with great joy to the world, the enemy managed to hijack that victory through temptation, stress, hurt, pain, rejection, loneliness or some other external cause.

Even though we are led into sin and drawn away by our own evil desires James 1:14 self-centredness in the heart 2 Peter 2:14 and an arrogant disregard for God and others, we have also given notice to the enemy that there is a part of us that isn’t under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, an area that He can’t bless because of our rebellious behaviour Jer 5 23.  That opening has allowed unclean fowl evil spirits to attack and oppress us.

We cannot be ignorant of Satan’s device’s 2 Cor 2: 11  this is why we need to look at Ephesians 6 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  This explains to us that there is also spiritual warfare in progress. When you can’t get rid of those ungodly images that bombard the mind any time they want, you are no longer simply fighting against the flesh, something else has gained entry and it won’t go without a fight!!  Check out; the Quitters check list for help with this.

– Never made for this fight –

Through your habitual use in pornography, you have handed the enemy a legal right to hold you back, so each time you go searching for freedom without Jesus you just get knocked down, and each time you get knocked down a little bit of your spirit becomes more discouraged. So now it’s time to remove those legal rights and hand back over to God what belongs to Him. No matter how good the flesh looks or how loud we roar, it was never intended to fight a spiritual foe. We can’t go fighting against spiritual powers, we simply aren’t equipped for that; this is why we need Jesus to do the fighting for us (Gal 5:1).  There is no technique, no gimmick, no prayer method, no principle, no book, program or ministry no other method of lasting freedom only Jesus.  It was His death and resurrection that defeated Satan. We cannot do this by our own strength, efforts or hard work. Jesus did it all; so what are you waiting on.

– You Need a Spiritual Intervention from God –

Most believer’s I speak too concerning the issue of freedom from pornography seem to be wasting valuable time, hard earned money and resources pursuing freedom with the wrong mind-set. Through no fault of their own they are attempting to fight pornography as the world fights pornography with courses, books, meetings, prayer ministry, internet blockers etc. Striving to the point where they exhaust themselves spiritually, mentally and physically.  So many have missed the goal and been distracted by pursuing freedom without Jesus, and to be honest freedom seems to be the bigger goal than seeking Jesus, to feel good about ourselves, to say “I’m a godly man, I have done this all by myself” which if you think about it, is a form of pride and selfishness, but without Jesus there can never be true lasting freedom. Lasting freedom is a by-product from enjoying a close relationship with our Saviour, His death conquered sin – not your efforts. You are so helpless that you can’t even do this for yourself your wife or children – if that were the case then you wouldn’t need Christ’s death and victory. You would have good enough reason to stop and seek freedom, but the sorry fact of the matter is that you can’t – the bondage is so deeply entrenched to your very core that you will need a spiritual intervention from God to release and birth in you a godly hate towards this sin.

– Has Porn stolen your Zeal? –

The scary fact is, Satan your motivator, has you where he wants you. Your relationship with Christ has stopped, your spiritual maturity has halted, you’re serving and giving your worship to Satan – not God – make no mistake about that. click here to see Who gets the Worship

You are worshipping Satan (pornography) more today than you were this time last week. You will be worshipping Satan (pornography) more next week than you are this week if you don’t make the decision to quit. You are changing little by little and you aren’t even aware that Pornography’s only aim is to corrupt society, break the church and steal the fight out of YOU.  All the devil wants to do is to get the fight out of Christians and kill it. Pornography can finally rival the church for the souls of men.

So, have you lost your fight? Are you passive? How is your devotional time? Does it still excite you to spend time with the Lord? How is your prayer life? Is it filled with power? What is your zeal for Christ like? Is it still burning or merely flicking? Satan hasn’t changed his spots – he wants to kill every believer and he is using pornography to do that for him.

As head of the house how concerned are you about the ruin that you have brought into the family home? Does it even bother you that your family might be experiencing a living hell because you have removed their covering as you sacrifice your soul to the devil for another lust filled hour of pornography/sex worship?

Today is the day to close the door to the enemy and hand back to God His legal rights over your life. If you believe that God cannot set you free because of what you have done in the past, what you are actually saying is this “ there is a power in the universe greater than God, and that power is my sin” Listen, just one drop of the Blood of Jesus is able to cover every sin that you ever committed.

– Men, you are the Church –

Sooner or later you will finally come to the end of yourself because you will give God no choice but to remove (Rm 1 24) His protection and let you have your own way (Num 11:19-20).  Until the pain of pornography finally out-weights the pain of change and you let the Holy Spirit run rampant to do that deep down soul searching inside, being willing to face up to all those issues that are preventing you from being a better husband and a better daddy to your children, a man who has experienced Godly sorrow and not worldly sorrow and knows how to share with others his real testimony, men who aren’t afraid of HELP. Godly men who know how to carry each other’s burdens – that is the man who God is looking for, then and only then will Christ reveal to you His power to cooperate with Him.

Christ will rise up His church to meet this persecution head on. Men you are the Church; you are God’s rescue plan here on earth. Take a look around you the next time you are in church. He doesn’t have any-body else. We have all read the Bible and marvelled at how the first century saints overcame Satan’s oppression and triumphed. They lived in an environment of paganism, idol worship, temple prostitutes, social, political and demonic opposition, and now they are all seated up in glory cheering  and urging us on. They are the cheer leaders behind the last day saints (that’s us).  It’s God’s heart to restore you to be a man of God – to be that daddy, to be a mighty husband who knows how to love one woman.  Not to be idle but to be a worshipper, a praise warrior, a conqueror, an over-comer and a leader – to fulfil the great commission – so what are you waiting for?   click here to go to By Whose Strength ? Prayer

You can’t wait for the right time or the right moment to come along – it simply won’t happen. Today is the day you die to your own efforts and rely on what Jesus has already done. Don’t let the knowledge of your sinfulness keep you from experiencing God’s grace and forgiveness in your life.

Lord Jesus, I come and acknowledge before You that I am powerless against pornography, masturbation (Name all involvement as appropriate) in my life. I am trapped, weak and discouraged and only by Your grace can I break free. I am no longer the man I once was fear, anger, depression, isolation, guilt, shame and defilement have all claimed their rights and my spirit is dry. Lord forgive my involvement with all pornographic material—seen, heard, spoken and enacted upon physically, and for the ungodly sexual pleasure it has given to me. For the effect it has had on those close to me, and for sinning against my own body also. Lord Jesus wash me again me with Your Precious Blood and I ask You to cleanse me from all those tormenting ungodly images that plague my mind whenever they want.

I declare that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and from this day forward I chose to walk in holiness and purity and to make You Lord of my sexuality and all its expression’s. In the power of Your Holy Spirit, I choose to live in obedience to Your Holy Word in this and every area of my life. It is my desire to walk with integrity in all my relationships with men and women; Lord Jesus restore again the joy of your salvation with in me, uphold me by your generous Spirit and with your help I will keep my heart clean, forgive me for my pride and selfishness that has kept you out of this process.

Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen
