Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Jesus is merciful Jesus will save. sin is the transgression of the law of God. 1 john 3:4. Satan promises happiness outside God’s law of love but all are lies!!! There’s only guilt, condemnation, misery, damnation in disobeying God. There is no happiness in disobeying God. Satan promised our first parents, Adam and Eve surpassing happiness if they transgress God’s law. They did transgress and they found out that they’ve lost all their innocence, peace and happiness!!!

Don’t be deceived by Satan, the great deceiver. I can see you are willing and want to overcome this yoke the devil has placed on your neck. That’s why you’ve read this far. Don’t lose hope.

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41. Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

Don’t be discouraged, Jesus will help you overcome. Trust in his saving grace and power! Isaiah 26:4. These 5 steps would help you overcome porn addiction and live for Jesus Christ your personal savior.

1). Know your soul’s enemy(Satan) and his devices so that you can resist him.
To overcome Satan and his carefully planned traps, you must be acquainted with his history and tactics. How can you know this? The answer is the word of God. The Bible gives all the details about Satan and his devices and how to resist him. Note that no one can resist the devil’s temptations except through Jesus Christ, the savior of the world. The Bible shows that Satan can only overcome you when you distrust God’s word and choose to listen to his suggestions. Eve was defeated when she doubted God’s word and trusted in Satan lies. It’s not easy to resist Satan suggestions but through Christ we’re more than conquerors.

When he(Satan) brings the suggestion that you should watch porn and promises you of happiness and ceaseless pleasure, remember in God’s word that he brought the same lie before Adam and Eve that if they eat the forbidden fruit, they would be happy and wise. When tempted, run to Jesus immediately, be in prayers and ask for strength to overcome this strong temptation. God will never allow one who puts his trust in Him to be defeated. The reason you keep falling back into porn watching is you don’t pray for strength to overcome.

Jesus can give you strength to overcome every fault. He can strengthen you in your purposes to do right. AY 65.1

Watch and pray, children, lest you be overcome by the enemy. Make persevering efforts for everlasting life. Live Christian lives, and ever keep the glory of God in view. AY 80.1

So the evil tendencies of the natural heart can be overcome only by earnest effort in the name and strength of Jesus. CSA 23.5



Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Sent to Help Us—Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that feels its nothingness and relies wholly on the merits of the Saviour. God would send every angel in heaven to the aid of such a one, rather than allow him to be overcome.—Testimonies for the Church 7:17 (1902). CM 111.1

Satan is a great deceiver: Satan, clothed in robes of brightness, appearing like an exalted angel, tempted the world’s Redeemer without success. But as he comes to man robed as an angel of light he has better success. He covers his hideous purposes, and succeeds too well in deluding the unwary who are not firmly anchored upon eternal truth. Con 86.4

Satan will work with all his deceptive power to influence the heart and becloud the understanding, to make evil appear good, and good evil. The stronger and purer the faith of God’s people, and the firmer their determination to obey Him, the more fiercely will Satan strive to stir up against them the rage of those who, while claiming to be righteous, trample upon the law of God. It will require the firmest trust, the most heroic purpose, to hold fast the faith once delivered to the saints. AA 431.1

2) Occupy your mind with the word of God. Jesus overcame Satan with “it is written”. when you store the word of God in your heart, Satan cannot overcome you. “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Con 52.4

“Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” You must individually battle against the world, the flesh and the devil. The word of God is called “the sword of the Spirit,” and you should become skillful in its use, if you would cut your way through the hosts of opposition and darkness. FE 124.2

3) Watch gospel videos instead of porn: 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; overcoming porn addiction is not an easy thing but God will help. Make it your habit to use the time given to this addiction for another purpose. Watch gospel videos, hymns and Christ centered music videos. by the grace of God, you can do this.

4) Guard your thoughts: Every sin first start in the mind, the Bible wrote that we should resist the devil and keep our mind pure. The first step to overcome Satan is surrendering your will to the power of God. When the mind is subjected to God’s will, Satan cannot take control. Satan can tempt but cannot force the mind. When he sees that you’re being passive and buying his ideas, then he now strengthens his efforts to put you in chains. You must avoid the first suggestion that tempt you to watch porn because if you don’t, you would be passive henceforth.

Those who would not fall a prey to Satan’s devices, must guard well the avenues of the soul; they must avoid reading, seeing, or hearing that which will suggest impure thoughts. The mind must not be left to dwell at random upon every subject that the enemy of souls may suggest. The heart must be faithfully sentineled, or evils without will awaken evils within, and the soul will wander in darkness. “Gird up the loins of your mind,” Peter wrote, “be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; … not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” AA 518.2

5) Purpose it in your mind not to watch porn again. Without making up your mind to avoid pornography, all these steps would be to no avail. You must fight the good fight of faith and resist the devil. God cannot force you, you must decide and know your need of a saviour. When you purpose in your mind then God will also help you to overcome this addiction. Without stern conflict with yourself, you cannot overcome.

Another tip is avoid all the diet that stimulate your sexual desire. Yes there are food that does this, especially MEAT EATING. Do further research.

Ample provision has been made for all who sincerely, earnestly, and thoughtfully set about the work of perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Strength and grace have been provided through Christ, to be brought by ministering angels to the heirs of salvation. None are so low, so corrupt and vile, that they cannot find in Jesus, who died for them, strength and purity and righteousness, if they will put away their sins, turn from their course of iniquity, and with full purpose of heart seek the living God. He is waiting to take away their stained garments, polluted by sin, and to put upon them the pure robe of his righteousness, to bid them live and not die. In him, as branches of the Living Vine, they may flourish. Their boughs will not wither nor be fruitless. If they abide in him, they can draw nourishment from him, be imbued with his spirit, walk as he walked, overcome as he overcame, and be exalted to his own right hand.CTBH 140.1

The apostle sought to teach the believers how important it is to keep the mind from wandering to forbidden themes or from spending its energies on trifling subjects. Those who would not fall a prey to Satan’s devices, must guard well the avenues of the soul; they must avoid reading, seeing, or hearing that which will suggest impure thoughts. The mind must not be left to dwell at random upon every subject that the enemy of souls may suggest. The heart must be faithfully sentineled, or evils without will awaken evils within, and the soul will wander in darkness. “Gird up the loins of your mind,” Peter wrote, “be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; … not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” AA 518.2

“Pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.” AA 519.1

Had silver and gold been sufficient to purchase the salvation of men, how easily might it have been accomplished by Him who says, “The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine.”Haggai 2:8. But only by the precious blood of the Son of God could the transgressor be redeemed. The plan of salvation was laid in sacrifice. The apostle Paul wrote, “Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9. Christ gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity. And as the crowning blessing of salvation, “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. AA 519.2

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,“ Peter continued, “see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” The word of God—the truth—is the channel through which the Lord manifests His Spirit and power. Obedience to the word produces fruit of the required quality—“unfeigned love of the brethren.” This love is heaven-born and leads to high motives and unselfish actions. AA 519.3

When truth becomes an abiding principle in the life, the soul is “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” This new birth is the result of receiving Christ as the Word of God.When by the Holy Spirit divine truths are impressed upon the heart, new conceptions are awakened, and the energies hitherto dormant are aroused to co-operate with God. AA 520.1

Sanctification is not the work of a moment, an hour, a day, but of a lifetime. It is not gained by a happy flight of feeling, but is the result of constantly dying to sin, and constantly living for Christ. Wrongs cannot be righted nor reformations wrought in the character by feeble, intermittent efforts. It is only by long, persevering effort, sore discipline, and stern conflict, that we shall overcome. We know not one day how strong will be our conflict the next. So long as Satan reigns, we shall have self to subdue, besetting sins to overcome; so long as life shall last, there will be no stopping place, no point which we can reach and say, I have fully attained. Sanctification is the result of lifelong obedience. AA 560.3
