Any practical ideas as to what I can do to overcome this???? I want to overcome it but yet I am not sure how......
MY days are spent in a manner that I really am not putting this stuff in my mind any more. I spend most of my days either on These Christian forums, or going out to the shops etc. When I wake up from these dreams I either cry, or I feel sick, or like this morning it's both.
Yes flee in prayer which is what I do, but I need practical suggestions as well here......Otherwise please pray for me and help me as best as you can please?!
Oh, my dear sister, the battle of fornications in our minds and the world's contribution to be successful in making commercials sinful, cartoons thought promoting sexual things and just about every PG show has sexual content in subtle ways, it is a nightmare. How can one free up their intake of sin in this world we exist in? not easy, but it can be done.
I have limited myself to the show Family Matters and the Cosby show or the news and even with the News I have to be careful at times...
The world has made it so we are subjected to lasciviousness and fornications through TV and adultery included as Jesus said if you think it then you are guilty of it..and this is promoted in the shows we watch. It is horrible.
I had to cut all this out and I am married...because it makes me sinful if indulged in. One has to go back to remembering that Moses when he was drunk his sons walked in backwards to cover him.humility was there...our living today shows no humility towards the naked body, but how advanced sin easily comes in our society today and is accepted as normal,
it is NOT RIGHT WITH GOD, and never has been.
You are right in fighting it by going to the stores shopping, monitoring what you're watching on TV, though the commercials are just awful with things like Victoria Secrets advertising and the Hane's men boxers are JUST WRONG" both of them..so TV is a tool of the Devils to bring us to sin against God. Being aware of it helps so much in the battle to come out of sin.
My heart goes out to you because I had the battle you have about 25 yrs ago, and I have had to guard myself to this day and it is an ongoing battle not to get caught in that trap again because our environment promotes it so easily...a death trap waiting to take us.
Prayer and fasting shows the Lord your sorry for this happening and in need of his helping you and by this he knows your sincere. Ask for wisdom and discernment in dealing with this sin because without this help I could not make it out into safety.
I believe sexual sin is the worst, sin that pulls against the flesh. This one we have to fight and become successful in because the Holy Spirit is housed in our body and we have become the temple of the living God (I Cor 3:16-17) and the Lord says if we destroy this body by this act he will destroy us.
I would like to comment that the Lord was patient with me and over many yrs I fought it before it was conquered so, my encouragement is the Lord sees your struggle and will help you but
you have to be true to heart in the matter. I found that when I drank liquor I fell into sin easily. So, I quit drinking and going to places that this would happen.
The next day I would be so loathing of myself that I had done this, so it is a battle and with us all, but Christ to help us overcome and we will make it out as long as there is true desire too. lol
Find the things that promotes and offsets this behavior, which
it sounds like you have for the most part, but apparently you are still being fed these things subtly because you are dreaming of them..something is promoting that. Ask God to reveal it to you so you can push that away from you, because he will help you.
As the Lord sees you have stopped many things from the past and are trying to overcome sin now so don't give up, but realize it is Satan trying to entice you back into living in this sin and the pulls of Satan are very strong, but through Christ it can be overcome. These times we are living in are horrible in sexual sin being promoted in us all, so my heart goes out to you in this matter.
Maybe reading the bible before you go to sleep will help in this matter. Keep praying and seeking the Lord in his showing you how to overcome it and to reveal it to you what brings this out in you, Christ will show you because the Lord wants you to overcome this sin, most of all because this is where he dwells in the body which is the temple of God. Music may be the culprit that brings these things to you at night, as
suggested, just keep seeking the Lord to reveal what makes this happen at night in your dreams so it can be stopped he will help you, and read that bible at night till you get ready to fall asleep...this will help for sure...lol
In Christ's love
