Having sexual relations in dreams is very common (among Christians and non-Christians alike). In our sex-crazed society, sexual dreams have become a norm, even to the extent some people learn to induce it themselves because they think it's fun—fun to experience what sex feels like in a whole new dimension: the spiritual.

    What they don't understand is that they're the host, while whatever they have sex with in their dreams is the parasite feeding off their life force and harming them for life and eternity.

    Christians should understand that there's nothing godly or funny about these sort of dreams. They in fact, should be seriously fought against and overcome and not embraced as normalcy.

    Why Sexual Dreams Occur


    Sex itself is beyond what many think it is, as it is connected to man's well-being.

    Having any kind of sexual relation not approved by God (be it sex outside marriage, in dreams or with the wrong person) can not only harm the human soul involved; it can as well negatively affect their destiny and end them up in Hell.

    The kingdom of darkness is very swift when it comes to leveraging man's weaknesses to their advantage. The truth is that 90% of sexual dreams people have when they sleep are induced by agents of darkness. It is a major weapon in Satan's arsenal against mankind.

    Since the world has grown to love sex more than God, the enemy has used that opportunity to destroy many destinies on Earth and pull more souls into Hell.

    The demons that specialize in inducing these kind of dreams are known as Incubus (appears as male) and Succubus (appears as female).

    The role of these demons is to feed off the spiritual energy of their victims and render them spiritually weak. That achieves almost the same purpose with Eating In Dreams.

    Such attacks are carried out on Christians to reduce the Anointing in them and render them powerless so that they become a lesser threat to the kingdom of darkness and their works.

    Because these demons create soul ties with their victims, these people may experience marital failure and bad luck until this connection is totally severed.

    What Induces Sexual Dreams


    1. Lust

    1 John 2:16 KJV
    For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    Our world is plagued with lust. Even as you are reading this blog post right now, there are millions of people online watching pornography.

    SEE ALSO: Christian Dream Meaning: House

    Demons feed on lust. They perceive the aroma of lust and go off to locate where it's coming from. Once they find it, the person emitting the lust aura becomes their next target.

    2. Sexual Immorality

    In the constitution of Heaven, sex is only legal in marriage. Having any form of sexual relation outside marriage will attract sex demons. They're always hanging around to see who will commit fornication next so they have the legal right to attack them.

    3. The Devil Is Bent On Doing Evil

    Some times, sex demons don't wait for a door to be opened for them (through sin) to attack. Because some people will never open that door for them. So they go ahead to attempt planting sinful thoughts in the mind of their target.

    If those thoughts are dwelt on, they can lead to sin and to doors being open to them. That's why we must watch out thoughts.

    Ways To Overcome Sexual Dreams 


    ⚫If you're not a Christian, you have to give your life to Christ as the first step towards your deliverance.

    ⚫The major remedy for sexual dreams is sexual purity. Stop watching pornography; quit masturbation; stop having sex with people you're not married to and it will be easy to break away from sex demons. Sex dreams will also come to an end.

    ⚫Feed your mind with the Word of God on daily basis instead of unholy thoughts that don't glorify God. If you go to bed with sexual thoughts in your mind, sex dream awaits you.

    ⚫You must be a prayer warrior. Sex demons are very stubborn. One time deliverance from your Pastor may not be enough. They will come back if you're someone who can't pray. I believe more in self-deliverance.

    Prayers Against Sexual Dreams


    1. Father I repent of every immoral thought, act or attachment in my life.

    2. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I break every demonic soul tie off my life in Jesus name.

    3. I destroy every Satanic marriage in my life in Jesus name.

    4. You devil that causes me to have sex in my dreams I BIND you NOW in Jesus name.

    5. I break every satanic sexual connection in Jesus name.

    6. I declare freedom in Jesus name

    Be blessed!

    Sex Dreams Meaning


    Dreaming of returning back to a former place of residence? Be it where one grew up in; a family compound or a former rented apartment (house), the meaning is one and the same.

      We must not take these kind of dreams lightly, as it has a connection to one's progress in life and destiny.

      Dreaming of going back to a former house, compound or place of residence is a common occurrence, even among Christians.

      Dream Meaning of Returning Back To Former Residence 


      To consistently dream of seeing oneself returning back to a former house where one once lived in/occupied is a bad omen.

      ⚫The spirit of backwardness is at work. The will of God is to see us move forward in life, not backwards. But for the enemy, the reverse is the case.

      Dream Meaning of Returning Back To Family Compound 


      Some people dream and see themselves frequently returning back to their family compound against their will. These kinds of dreams are very common and rarely a good omen.

      For instance, you happened to grow up and move out of your family compound where you were born and grew up in, but you always dream and see yourself packing your belongings back there OR even visiting when you don't plan/wish to visit.

      Understand that,


      • The spirit of backwardness connected to the family is at work.
      • Demonic forces operating in the family bloodline are at work. They hate seeing the success and progress of innocent family members.
      • There is presence of spiritual bondage; cords of backwardness attempting to keep innocent family members tied up from their progress.
      • The enemy uses demons operating in the family and their human agents (witches and warlocks) in the family to pull back the strings when they tend to lose and set victims free.


      Dream Meaning of Returning Back To Former Rented Apartment


      It could be that one moved out of their former rented apartment to a new (and even better one), then all of a sudden, they start having dreams where they see themselves living in or packing their belongings back to this former house they moved out of.


      • Nothing may be wrong with the compound itself but the forces of backwardness are active.
      • Something may be wrong with the former place of residence, there's need to loose oneself from it. Some tenants don't make progress in the compound they live because of the evil within, after they decide to move out, these kind of dreams may occur frequently.


      Remedy for Dreams of Returning Back To Former Residence


      Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
      For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

      God's plans and intentions towards us are good and nothing less. It is the enemy who wants us to see us suffer unnecessarily and remain in a perpetual state of pity.

      Dreams of moving back to former residence must not be feared or believed that it will happen in future. It must be boldly confronted and destroyed.

      Dreams of returning back to former place of residence need to be sternly cancelled; the occurrence in the dream must be rejected and annulled with holy anger.

      Spiritual cords of backwardness must be broken off one's life.

      Demons and their human agents in charge of this weapon must be brought under your feet using the Authority you have in Christ.

      Bible Verses Against Dreams of Returning Back To Former Residence


      Use the following Bible Verses when praying against these manner of dreams and their effects;

      Psalm 34:17 —

      “The righteous cry and the LORD hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.” Just a reminder that God is all we need to overcome spiritual attacks.

      Psalm 44:5 —

      “Through You, we will push back our adversaries, through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.”

      James 4:7 —

      “Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” This verse reminds us that God is the source which is why we should submit and rely on Him.

      1 John 4:4 —

      “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” This is a reminder that what we carry always outweighs whatever the Devil would try to. It should serve as a source of comfort.

      Luke 10:19 —

      “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”

      2 Chronicles 20:15 —

      “This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” Remember, when the Devil tries to attack you, he is indirectly trying to attack God and we all know God wins every time.

      Deuteronomy 3:22 —

      “Do not fear them, for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you.”

      Deuteronomy 28:7 —

      “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.”

      Romans 8:37 —

      “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

      Ephesians 6:11–17

      “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

      Dreaming of Seeing Myself in Former House


      The battle is the LORD's, that's a common saying among Christians today. And it is true. But some have gotten it twisted. God needs vessels through which He'll squash the works of darkness, and Christians are those vessels.

      Jeremiah 51:20 KJV
      Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

      The Bible never said that since the battle is the LORD's we are to go prayer-less and care less about our spiritual life and God will fight for us. We don't use God, only God can and wants to use us.

      The world is a battle field, true Christianity is battle-filled. The enemy knows that God is raising an end time army and that they're going to crack down big-time on his works. That is why he is also intensifying spiritual attacks especially against these breed of Christians on daily basis.

      While I don't deny the fact that the battle is the LORD's, I do not endorse the idea that He expects us to be a sleeping and lukewarm Church and watch Him fight for us.

      I can't imagine how a ministry which is not teaching and implementing spiritual warfare in this end time would be like. Many Christians have died untimely death due to the fact that they refused to be God's battle axe. And one of the reasons behind this is "The battle is the LORD's" being wrongly taught in many Christian circles.

      When God called me, He gave me two major Assignments. One was to be His weapon of war, to pull down Satanic strongholds, beginning from my own family. The second was my ministry to the outside world. The same goes for every genuine Christian out there. You are a soldier within God's end time army and soldiers are prepared and equipped for battle.

      It is very saddening that some Christians are lukewarm and living a deceptive life. That's a very risky and extremely low life to live. Such Christians could only end up becoming instruments in the hands of the devil. The LORD said if we're neither hot nor cold, he'll spew us out of his mouth (Revelation 3:16).

      Every Believer is called into the battle field and the fact that one has refused to fight doesn't mean he or she will not get attacked. Though it may seem the enemy has stopped attacking such, he is just using the opportunity they've given him to try grafting them into his kingdom.

      The enemy is battle-ready at all times, throwing fiery darts and loosing his cohorts against the Church.
      1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV
      Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

      The urgent need for us to let God use us as His battle axe in these last days can not be overemphasized. The LORD has made available for us all that is required for us to be effective in His Army. We only need to harness them.

      Mark 16:17-18 KJV
      And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

      Luke 10:19 KJV
      Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

      EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO WERE GOD'S BATTLE AXE

      ● David: We've heard and read of David, how he never lost a battle. The truth is that he always depended on God and cried out to Him to fight for him. But he was also a warrior, prepared and equipped to be used of the LORD at any time to fight those battles.

      ● Moses: God needed a vessel through which He'll manifest His Power and Wrath to the Egyptians and show His deliverance to His people. Moses was that vessel.

      ● Gideon: Gideon was a well-fortified warrior for God. God fought through Him and gave him victory over his enemies with ease.
      Judges 7:18 KJV
      When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.

      ● Deborah: Once a ruler of Israel, also a warrior who led Israel to battle and conquered their enemies through God's help.

      ● Hezekiah: Hezekiah succeeded his father Ahaz and was mightily used of the LORD to pull down the temples of foreign gods and destroy the idols and idol worshipping his father established in Israel.

      The battle that the Church is facing today is more of a spiritual one. And the LORD desires to use us in a mightier dimension if we're willing.

      QUALITIES OF GOD'S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR

      1). FORGED BY FIRE: God's battle axe is made by fire. Swords, clubs and axes were all initially raw and rough metals passed through the fire, purged and beaten into shape. God takes time to prepare His weapons of war. Just as soldiers are first of all sent through rigorous training before they're fully grafted into the Army. We must be willing to go through this process in order to get equipped to crack down on the kingdom of darkness.

      2). SHARP: God's weapons of war have sharp cutting edge and must remain that way so that they'll be useful to Him at any time. Sin, Prayer-lessness and Word-lessness rusts and blunts our sharp cutting edge. God's battle axe must stay sharp, rust-free and dangerous at all times.

      3). ALWAYS AVAILABLE: It's one thing to be well-equipped for battle and it's another thing to be available when the LORD has need of us.

      God's weapons of war must always be available and ready whenever God has need of them to crush the works of darkness. They must also be flexible and easy to use by letting go of their self-will. They must be obedient.

      FINAL WORDS

      Jeremiah 1:10 KJV
      See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

      You are God's battle axe and He wants to use you to root out, pull down and destroy the works of the enemy in your family, community and country. Let Him work on you, stay sharp and available for His.

      Thou Art My Battle Axe


      Being a Christian means being Christ-like, and that alone comes with many responsibilities attached and expectations on our side. If we are called by His Name, we are expected to be like Him. God doesn't sleep, He works day and night to ensure that we are protected and provided for. We therefore have no excuse not to be the calibre of Christians He expects us to be.

      Average is mediocre. Mediocrity means settling for the normal; settlings for the usual; average; not so good". An average Christian is a lukewarm Christian. The LORD said He will spew such out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16).

      The mindset of an average Christian is that they don't have to carry God's work as if they're the only Christians in existence.

      >> The average Christian knows what to do but waits for other Christians to do them.

      >> The average Christian is afraid of the devil and what He'll do next.

      >> Average Christians lack the zeal for service in the Kingdom. They live in a cocoon of self-pity.

      >> They have unstable prayer and word study life. At times they are devotionless.

      >> Average Christians are not steadfast in the faith. They easily lose hope and their grip on God when challenges arise. The just must live by faith (Hebrews 10:38).

      >> They seek high places and seek to be known but don't want to seek a deep relationship with the LORD.

      >> They are not committed to God and hence they can't earn His trust: God entrusts more only to those who earn His trust by being faithful in little. If we mal-handle the little He commits to us, then we shouldn't expect more.

      This is not me trying to condemn anyone, but the life of an average Christian cries for serious help!

      Some think they don't have to pray and study the word like that Pastor, Apostle or Prophet. "That man is always talking about Bible, prayer, Church and God... no, I don't want to be like that". But the truth is that God wants us to be more than that.

      We don't have to wear big jackets, carry big bibles and pray on top of our voices before we can be seen as serious-minded Christians. That's hypocrisy. We don't have to look spiritual on the outside while our spirit man is dying on the inside. We must ensure that our righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20).

      To think that one can go too far with God in their walk of faith is a lie from the pit of Hell. God is vast, He's inexhaustible. His Word is vast. We can always get more and more. We've not gotten enough to assume we've gotten too much. So long we are still alive on Earth, as Christians, we haven't yet arrived.

      If it's dangerous for Christians whom the LORD is using mightily to allow complacency slip into their lives, how much more an average Christian?

      Late December 2017, the LORD spoke to me and said that Christians are not putting to use all that His Blood paid for. He went ahead to put me right within the picture of the current state of the Church and it was so saddening!

      The LORD said in His Word that He has given us the authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions (Luke 10:19). The question is, how many of us are putting that authority to use? It's funny that today Christians are the ones who need deliverance more, when as a matter of fact, they should be the ones dishing out deliverance to sinners in the dying world.

      In Jeremiah 1:10 the LORD states clearly why He plants us in the different geographical locations we are on Earth: to pluck up and breakdown (the works of darkness), to destroy and overthrow (principalities and powers within those regions) and to build and plant (God's Kingdom within those places). With average Christianity we can not achieve these.

      The LORD hates mediocrity. If people are not complaining that you're taking your own Christianity too far; if they can not call you a Christian even without seeing you go to church or carry a Bible around, then you need to do self-introspection. If sinners are bold around us to the extent of summoning the courage to suggest sin to us, then we need to question how much light we are shining.

      Being the sort of Christians the LORD wants us to be will always cause people speak concerning us. It creates ripples around us, in Heaven and in the Kingdom of darkness.

      Average Christians are used as toys by the enemy, but the reverse is the case with a Christian who is on fire for God. What the LORD is doing and planning to do in and through the end time Church does not need average Christianity. It requires Christians who are too hot for the devil to handle.

      The LORD is a consuming Fire. He doesn't produce average (lukewarm) Christians. He makes His ministers flames of fire (Hebrews 1:7).

      We have been given the Grace to be and do all that He expects of us (Ephesians 4:7). We must make effective use of it.

      Where and how did we lose our sharp-cutting edge? We are not guaranteed tomorrow. Everyday is another chance given to us to make a change. With the LORD's help we can retrieve the lost axe head, resharpen our cutting edge and get back to work in the vineyard while there is still time.

      Remain Blessed.

      The State of an Average Christian in the End Time Church

      How To Crucify The Flesh

      The flesh is the carnal nature of man. It operates through the five physical (carnal senses): sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. It processes every information it receives through these senses, communicates them to man and automatically suggests to him what actions and decisions he should take based on its deductions and conclusions.

         But we can admit that such suggestions are always the opposite of what God expects of us! The flesh neither hears nor sees in the spirit. It neither obeys God nor His Word. It desires what God doesn't want for us. The flesh is in enmity against God (Romans 8:7).

        Right from the onset, it was never the will of the LORD to see man live and operate according to the leading of his carnal nature. Before the fall, Adam and Eve were fully functional spiritual beings who were less aware of their carnal nature but much aware of the spiritual. When God brought to Adam the creatures He created for naming, He never told him their names. He only listened while Adam named them and then He confirmed those were their names. Flesh didn't do that through Adam. It was his spirit which was connected to the mind of God.

        Adam and Eve were fine with walking the Garden of Eden for hundreds of years without caring to know whether they were clothed or not, UNTIL THE FLESH GOT ACTIVATED THROUGH SIN! Then their awareness gradually shifted from the spiritual to the physical till they lost their connection with God, became normal human beings and we consequently expelled from the Garden!

        Man is a spirit being. God made and clothed him with an Earth suit (a flesh) with which he can interact with the physical environment He put him in. The flesh is temporal and shouldn't receive greater attention from us. We were never made to live according to the leading of the flesh, but that of the Spirit. Living by the flesh always results to both spiritual and physical death, like in the case of the first man. "For if ye live by the flesh, ye shall die.." - Romans 8:13.

        After the flesh got activated, Adam and Eve did not only lose their connection with God and delegated authority over the physical and spiritual sphere they existed within, they also grew old and died! Living according to the flesh can cause eternal separation from God.

        Why We Must Crucify The Flesh


        The Adamic, carnal nature did not just end with them. It was passed down to generations after them. Every man carries the DNA of Adam until they eventually receive Jesus Christ as their LORD and Saviour. Even after salvation and reception of the Holy Spirit, the carnal nature isn't totally gone. The Christian has to intentionally get rid of it by the Grace supplied through the indwelling Holy Spirit!

        The first enemy we need to deal with isn't the devil, it's the flesh. Many genuine Christians occasionally abandon the leading of the Holy Spirit and go after the suggestions of their carnal senses, simply because they haven't yet crucified their flesh. There are both immediate and eternal consequences attached! Like some brothers in the faith who have lived to regret choosing a partner because she had curves, and some sisters... because he had biceps. They choosing to ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit and making such decisions based on one of the five carnal senses (the physical eyes) is an indication of the presence of uncrucified flesh. We don't walk by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7).

        1 John 2:16 KJV
        For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

        Adam and Eve activated the flesh and died, we must deactivate it if we must live!

        Galatians 5:24 KJV
        And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

        The need to crucify the flesh can not be overemphasized. First of all, we need to be at peace with God. The flesh is God's enemy, and if we continue living according to its leading, we are fighting God. The will of the LORD is for us to live a life of absolute obedience to Him, and that, every genuine Christian must attain before the return of the LORD. There's no lesser standard.

        The flesh is also an enemy of destiny. That is one of the reasons it is also an enemy of God. The LORD wants to give us a great future(Jeremiah 29:11), but that doesn't happen while we still allow our flesh to bring us to a place of rebellion against Him. It's obedience that touches God's heart and opens doors of blessings to us. The flesh prevents us from receiving the fullness of what we should receive from God. Total submission to God is the key that unlocks the door to destiny!

        1 Peter 4:2 KJV
        That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

        Do you really desire to walk in the fullness of all that the LORD has for you? Do you desire to have a fulfilled destiny and live a fulfilled life on Earth? Are you determined to succeed in life and ministry? Just start by crucifying the flesh!

        How To Crucify The Flesh


        1 Corinthians 15:31 KJV
        "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." - Apostle Paul. 

        Apostle Paul mastered the act of dying daily, and he's a good example we must learn from. But how did he do that? Definitely not by His own strength! He only learnt to let the desires of the Spirit of God in him suppress the desires of his flesh. He soaked in the Word and Prayer on daily basis and that fired up the Grace of God in him which enabled him live the extra-ordinary life without stress!

        The ability to overcome anything that stands between us and God comes from the Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ, made available to us through the indwelling Holy Spirit. We don't need multiple deliverance sessions and casting out of demons. We need to let the Spirit who lives in us to work on us! We've been given Grace(Ephesians 4:7), plus God's Word and Prayer!

        Zechariah 4:6-7 KJV
        Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. [7] Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying , Grace, grace unto it.

        No mountain standing between us and God is too high for us to overcome. We only need to let God have His way in us and we'll bring down the last stone with shouts of Grace and Grace to it!

        If you are not saved, you have to accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and Saviour. Let go of striving by human strength to overcome the flesh and let the Holy Spirit do His work. That's one of the reasons for which He was sent.

        If you are not baptised in the Holy Spirit, ask the LORD to baptise you. Stay prayed up and stay filled with the Holy Spirit (since the ability comes from Him). Stay in the Word. Enjoy your victory over the flesh through Christ! Amen!

        Why We Must Crucify The Flesh and How To Do It

        How To Break Free From Pornography


        Psalm 119:37 KJV
        Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
        Amen. 
        How To Break Addiction To Pornography: By estimation, nine out of every ten persons (both male and female) will admit to have once heard about the word "pornography" or viewed a graphic image or video (whether intentionally or unintentionally).

          We grow up in a society filled with moral decadence; a place where we're bombarded which sinful sights on daily basis. The rate at which pornography is being circulated and consumed by the world today is quite alarming. It has turned the porn industry into a lucrative business venture with uninterrupted cash-flow.

          When I tried checking on my blog's ranking this morning at SEMrush, I was surprised to see that up to 3 porn sites were listed among the first 15 websites with the highest traffic, alongside Google and Facebook.

          Viewers and customers of porn are not only limited to the heathen. Christians are among the various groups of people who view porn on daily basis. Many get introduced to it at a very tender age through peer influence, family or other sources. It was never their intention. And they never knew it can get as bad. Like drugs, they gradually got addicted to it, only to realise that it becomes a problem in life; a problem to one's spiritual growth and relationship with the LORD.


          Why You Don't Need Pornography


          Spiritually, pornography is a tool in the hands of the enemy which he uses to sow more evil seeds in people. One of his overall goals is to do his best to ensure people become more sinful and evil everyday, in reverse to what God is doing. We are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy and we can't afford to bring down ourselves to his level, to be ruled and ruined by him through porn. Any Christian who hasn't overcome the addiction to porn or isn't making serious efforts to overcome it isn't ready to grow spiritually, have they best relationship they can have with the LORD, walk in His promises and blessings and be used of Him to the fullest.

          It's medically proven that porn has negative effects on the human brain. According to researchers, when people view pornography, a hormone called dopamine is released in the brain which is responsible for emotions and learning. The more pornography that gets consumed, the more dopamine that is needed to produce the 'high' feeling, just like in drug addicts. This causes people to go for more and more porn. We can now see that the addiction to porn isn't different from addiction to drugs. More porn simply means more demand for dopamine by the brain. And it gets to a point where the brain gets exhausted and stops producing dopamine. This causes the individual to go unsatisfied no matter how much porn they watch and seek out different means to satisfy their desire. This is where self-pleasure comes in.

          If dopamine is also responsible for learning, then that directly tells us that pornography (and fornication in general) affects retentive memory! Uh... Did I just say that? The brain is the control room of the human body. Anything which affects the brain affects the entire person and makes them less-productive, academically and otherwise! No wonder the bible says that fornication means sinning against the body(1 Corinthians 6:18). I believe there are many reasons (some of which man doesn't know yet) why God demands that we stay away from sin. Not just so that we make Heaven, but also that we have good health and long life.

          Pornography is a killer. It kills dreams, plans, relationships, marriages and destinies if allowed to rule one's life. There are presently many Christians who are faced with the challenge of successfully breaking away from the addiction to porn. If you’re one of them, know that you're not in the struggle alone. The LORD desires the best for us. He is willing to set you free if you’re ready. Keenly follow the words on this blog post because it will help you in one way or the other, I believe!

          How To Break Free From Porn


          1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

          It is the will of the LORD that we break free from whatever is holding us back from being our best on Earth, pleasing Him and making Heaven. That should also be the desire of every genuine Christian. God is always steps ahead of everything the enemy does to keep His Church from staying unspotted. No addiction is too hard for God to set us free from! Jesus Christ is the deliverer and He has made provision for all that we need to get free and stay free. We just have to harness them!

          1). GET SAVED: Let me use this opportunity to say that if you are not saved, you may not gain much from the teachings on this blog. Your deliverance starts from your salvation. You have to accept Jesus Christ into your life as your personal LORD and Saviour and be born again (John 3:4-7).

          2). RENEW THE MIND: The mind is the place from where thoughts emanate. Every action we take and decision we make on daily basis emanate from the mind. God speaks to the mind that has been renewed and trained to know His voice. Voices of the flesh and of the enemy also suggests sin to the mind.

          If anyone desires to break their addiction to pornography, renewing their mind is one great step towards achieving that. The mind is renewed by studying the Word of God on daily basis and watching over our thoughts so that we center our thinking only on godly and holy thoughts.

          Romans 12:2 KJV
          And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

          Philippians 4:8 KJV
          Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

          Having a mind that has been modified by the world and sin to think only unholy thoughts will also lead us to unholy actions. When the flesh or the enemy suggests a thought to sin, if the individual dwells on that thought, it births a desire that further compels a sin action. And there is 90% possibility that the individual will put that thought into action.
          James 1:14 KJV
          But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.. 

          The human mind seems completx but it isn't. We can understand and make it work the way God designed it to, not to our own destruction.

          3). GET BAPTISED IN AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT: Breaking free from the addiction to pornography is not by our strength. It's a matter of following scriptural principles through the strength and Grace supplied by the Holy Spirit. Mountains are removed only by Grace from the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6-7). Staying filled with the Holy Spirit is directly proportional to having the ability to live holy.

          4). STAY PRAYED UP: We need much prayer to stay pure in today's world. Every genuine Christian who desires to stay pure, please God and become all that He destined them to be must become a prayer warrior. That's not debatable.

          5). STAY AWAY FROM UNGODLY MOVIES AND PLACES: This is basic. Prayer isn't enough. One must make deliberate decisions and take actions that will guarantee their total freedom. We can't pray and continue viewing porn and hope to be free from it. The point is to hate the sin that you want to be free from. What we want from the internet is what we get. Use your gadgets for productive things.
          1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
          Abstain from all appearance of evil.

          6). SEEK MORE COUNSELLING AND DELIVERANCE: Yes, the last but not the least. Though I believe if we follow what the Word says, we will have no need for deliverance from another man. The Holy Spirit is the best counsellor; Jesus Christ is the deliverer.

          If we get serious with God, we'll see chains begin to fall off our life one after the other till we become totally free from every shackle of darkness. My Prayer is that the LORD uses this piece to deliver, restore and bless someone reading it. Amen!
