By Angie Lewis Pornography has snuck into our homes like Satan did with Eve in the Garden of Eden tempting change surface the purest of heart. Some populate have never thought about looking at porn before they had a computer but now it somehow repeatedly gets in their view and oops it happens. There are a few really bad apples out there that revel and delight in tossing immoral imagery into our faces. Whether we construe about these lusty desires in our Spam telecommunicate or see it on popup banners weve all go face to approach with it through our computer. Most of us dont think twice about deleting porn from our telecommunicate and in fact we try to get popup blocker to forbid the harassing banner ads. Since porn is tossed out recklessly everyday in lie of our face eventually someone is going to click on it. It might be your preserve your wife or your teenage son. The bad apples are overjoyed! They work for Satan. Satan tells them sneaky and conniving ways how to do it and make it more enticing. The bad apples obey because they want everyone to be depraved desire them. The problem begins when a person is tempted into viewing this garbage and they do not bear on any moral ethics they might have on a godly foundation. The worldview of what morality is in grave error. If you locate your belief system on something that is sinful you will change state in bondage to that particular sin. That is how Satan gets people involved in his work. They serve him by being a slave to sin. Because porn repeatedly shows up on our computer in one create or another we eventually give into it out of curiosity and say. But one time won't hurt. In reality folks it does hurt. It hurts yourself and your loved ones tremendously. You undergo heard that it was said. "Do not act adultery. But I tell you anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27,28 1. desire is an unhealthy and sinful desire that takes a person away from that which is right and good. It does not be if it is lusting after strangers on the Internet or a fleshly be in a secret place. To yearn for the flesh of another person other than who you are married is wrong thinking taking over your object and eliminating the natural goodness that resides in man. Satan knows that by getting you to think and conceive of the lusty images in your object first will entice you to wish it. Once you take a peek you look again and again until you cant seem to get the immoral imagery away from your mind and you change state ensnared within it. If you evaluate long enough you become what you think. God says we are not to even THINK about these things in our mind. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of cover and the adulteress preys upon your very life. Proverbs 25. 26 You are worth more than a loaf of cover arent you? If you continue in your wrong thinking you will move moldy and then no one will want you. 2. If the act of adultery is wrong then so is the intention. It is considered mental adultery and thus a sin! To be faithful to your spouse with your body but not your mind is to break the trust that is so vital to marriage. Pornography is easily justified in the minds of those who view it. They have broken a code of ethics to authorise in their minds that it is okay to view it. Pornography for many is more justified than the physical act and if they get caught looking at it all they have to say is. "well at least I didn't have an affair." This kind of thinking is wrong and is in total denial. Denial is the opposite of acceptance. If you can't accept that what your doing is wrong then you are in denial. The Internet only enables those who are tempted to continue in their addiction. Satan instructs the bad apples to get smarter and smarter in their different ways to put it out to the world. That means you have to fight approve harder to destroy sexual immorality from your life. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable not in passionate lust desire the heathen who do not know God. 1Thessalonians 4. 3-5 Viewing Pornography and getting off on a temporary go is only a symptom of a much greater problem. Lusting after the get rid of of heathen strangers is bad enough but this lustful wish also defiles the body object soul and marriage. In my schedule it is the same as having a physical affair. How can I stop looking at pornography? The cater to rid yourself of temptation and to remain faithful comes from what you accept. Therefore it does not rest in you alone but in your Creator. If you have been unfaithful it is because you do not undergo the foggiest idea how to utilize the tools (gifts) God has given you. Loyalty to ones spouse is a part of the giving affect that you learn through allowing God's like and forgiveness into your heart and mind. When you evaluate what the Truth is you can actually give of yourself and do it freely. It's really that simple. Accepting is on the same lie as humbling oneself. If you humble yourself to God the one and only adjust director you are giving yourself to God. Once you actually release your errors to God. He will rid you of temptation. For those of you with a conscience. I say dont kick yourself too hard. You made a identify and looked at porn. Pick yourself right back up and start all over anew. I say the same thing for those who have had an affair. Just because you were weak once does not convey you are a weak person. You are what you accept to be true. Your potential is much greater than you allow. God will give you the power to cease and desist all tempting situations in your life and become the person you were intended to be. But you undergo to accept and accept in God as you source. God hasnt condemned you yet. It is not too late to move your life around and come to your full potential. Let go of Satans hand and act a hold of Christs transfer. Dont condemn yourself! If God is your obtain and he is that is where you came from why do you look to the world (Satan) for reassurance of self? If the world is where you look for truth you will accept what the world says and probably be weak in your sin again. As with any addiction we are powerless to defeat it on our own. When we fall into weakness essentially were like a confused lost puppy unable to find our way home. We do not have a map to back up us examine for the lost consider. Were probably not even sure why we are unfaithful and some of us be in weakness. We have decided that society is our domiciliate and society tells us that unfaithfulness is acceptable. Which on the opposite end is what God says is not acceptable. As I said earlier when you evaluate what you see in the world as truth you tempt yourself into adultery and immorality of all kinds which is not truth but a devilish lie told by Satan. It is God's will that all marriages be built upon the move back and forth of loyalty and when you remain steadfast and loyal to your spouse change surface through the hardships you are allowing God to give you the understanding you be to be faithful. By trusting in what God says for your marriage you are less tempted to stray from the marriage whether in the physical act or through pornography. Therefore you must forbid looking to society for the answers. Faith comes from believing in what you cannot see with your eyes bringing those beliefs into the heart and acting upon them with passion. Having and utilizing the power of faith is an individual matter that is gained by your own personal relationship with God. Make God you obtain! It is not to late to go out of Sodom & Gomorrah. You do not have to base your opinions and thoughts on the ideas of sinful character. You can sight your way home.
