Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV): Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Romans 12:1-2 (NLT): And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then, you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Psalm 4:7 ( (NLT): You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

Ephesians 3:20 (NLT): Now, all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Can you be free of pornography addiction? Yes, yes, triple yes! It will take time, but there is real deliverance at the end.

Yes, you will be free of this addiction. You can live a pornography-free life with a God-honoring sexuality!

First of all, it is a decision.

The best spiritual weapons will never help you win if you are not convinced you have to fight. You must first recognize that you have this problem and accept paying the price to get rid of it. Not wanting to change your lifestyle, not questioning yourself, and hoping for some "magical" deliverance from God is an attitude doomed to failure.

The first and most important source of strength lies in an intimate and constant relationship with Jesus Christ. If our walk with Christ is nothing but religion, then when the time comes, "our strength will be nothing but weakness."

Count the cost!

Look at the ones you love. Ask yourself if pornography is worth sacrificing them!

Pornography activates phenomena in our bodies that we can use to our advantage. Let's not let ourselves be robbed of everything! We will get back what God intended. Pornography triggers electrical impulses of pleasure in our brain, based on the phenomenon of imprinting, etc.... We can modify and re-establish this imprint in the right place to relearn pleasure in the right place.

Starve "the beast". This is the "OFF": Remove all sources of temptation. Cut out the wrong way of responding.

Turn evil into good. This is the "ON": meeting our real needs in a good way.

You have to be persistent, diligent, and patient! Always remember that Jesus loves you!

Walk from victory to victory.

If you have gone 24 hours without pornography, that means that after 24 hours, you looked at pornography again. It is not the end of the world. Too often, shame and guilt trap us: "I can't do it! You see, I can't even last 24 hours". But yes, you did last 24 hours!

Generally, the brain unlearns and relearns a new way of thinking or behaving in an average of 90 days.

You have chosen to stop; you will succeed with God's help!
