A man’s secret struggle with pornography.

October 17, 2020

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.” Job 31:1, NLT.

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” James 5:16, NLT.

Victoria isn’t the only one with a secret. Victor has one too. He struggles with pornography. It is eating away at his view of intimacy with his wife. Graphic sexual images have been set up in his mind, that he can still see them from ten years ago. When he makes love to his wife, he mentally sees other women too. He knows Christ and doesn’t know what to do.

Victor isn’t a real person but represents many men struggling in secret in this area of their lives. If this is you, know that God loves you and holds no condemnation over you. The Father says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). He also says there is power when we open up about it, even the power to be healed from it.

The secret of pornography is not worth the open loss of your family. It is not worth your walk with God. Renew the covenant you made with your eyes when you got married. God gave you your wife to meet all your sexual needs. If you’re single, renew the covenant you made with your eyes when Christ came into your life. Save your eyes and passion for the wife that you haven’t been blessed with yet. Jesus came in the flesh and defeated the works of the flesh. He will help you can overcome it.

Prayer: Father God, thank You that Your truth makes us free. Help me to open up about my struggle. Forgive me and help me to honor the covenant with my eyes I made to my wife and children. I ask for help today. I ask for power today. I say “No” to pornography today, and the next day and so on, until the enemy understands, I’m not going that way. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Study: 2 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 8:3-4, James 4:7, 1 Corinthians 10:13, John 8:32
