FREEDOM From Porn For MenSýnishorn

FREEDOM through the Holy Spirit

Change starts with admitting a problem and repenting, but we need God on our side to defeat Satan. Without a relationship with Jesus, freedom from addiction is practically impossible. When you become a true follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit takes root inside of you and gives you the power to become who God created you to be. This is the power we need to break free from addiction. 

The Holy Spirit connects us to God in the most intimate and powerful ways possible:

The Holy Spirit dwells within us at all times. 
The Holy Spirit gives us hope and peace during difficult times. 
The Holy Spirit provides power over temptation and gives us strength and endurance during trials. 
The Holy Spirit plants in us the desires of God and grows within us the fruit of the Spirit including self-control. 

In other words, the Holy Spirit is our lifeline to freedom. I know that freedom is hard, but you are not fighting alone. As a believer, you have the Spirit of God inside of you to give you the power to change.

You might say that you are a Christian but still struggle. We all do and that process of change takes time, but the power is in you. If you mess up again and you feel like a failure, do not give up.  You may feel like hiding from God, not going to church, or putting the Bible away for a while, but those are all things the enemy desires. 

I want to encourage you - freedom is possible and it can be lasting. If you mess up, don’t give up. Keep on pursuing Jesus as He will not give up on you. 

FREEDOM can be lasting because of the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Father God, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. May your Spirit guide me and draw me closer to you. I give you control of my thoughts and ask you to change my desires. Amen.
