I've found this past few months a lot of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus struggling with this as well as myself. I quit porn right before getting saved (no doubt by the Holy Ghost moving on me). But all those years of maturation coupled with it affects you. Not justifying it. Sex with your spouse is the only exception for Holy God honored sexual intimacy. But that porn much like manufactured drugs and excessive Alcohol, affects how the mind works and sometimes by severity can be partially permanent. Much like a thorn, I believe. Like Paul begged God to remove but Jesus responded with His grace was sufficient and that in weakness His power is made perfect. Anyways it's great to hear fellow Christians coming out and confessing the struggle associated with porn. I think the other issue is one of self control (I speak much in my own regard) and the other half being that people don't wanna marry anymore either. Marriage in the Bible is even mentioned as a gift to quell the sexual passions of a man or woman in a Holy manner through their spouse. But today's culture also doesn't want to accept that with marriage comes ownership of your spouses body as much as they own yours. They have a need; you are commanded to fulfill it. If you have a need; they are commanded to fulfill it. (Except for times of joint fasting). But sex is so throughly encouraged that Paul in the Spirit even told spouses not to fast from sex too long lest temptation befall them and they commit fornication and adultery. It's a grievous thing that the world has poisoned the youth from the joy of marriage with all the setbacks and made them out to be juice not worth the squeeze. God bless you, brother. I pray in Jesus name that you as well as myself and all Christians seek out not only self control/ but if we do desperately in our flesh desire sex that we also seek and pray for it to be fulfilled in a Holy place which is marriage between one man and one woman. Amen.
Former porn addict. You are safe here brother. I have a post/ confessional of my own on this site. There are siblings in Christ ready and willing to lend prayer. People here were used by the Holy Spirit to give me the encouragement to dust myself off and keep running the race of Jesus Christ. You are indeed correct. I do believe the reality is that we Christians need to warn "repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand" and we all need to be preaching that. Jesus is indeed coming back and that day though glorious will also be grievous for those not found in the book of Life. The greatest of all awakenings is the gospel of Jesus Christ. All else is dung in comparison. This war is bigger than even the stuff q has posted. I myself believe q. But not ahead of Jesus Christ. Q is an organization of people (Christians by their posts) but still people. Jesus Christ surpasses all and He is who we should preach most of all. Q can't get people into the kingdom of heaven. Only God through His Son Jesus Christ by the stealing of His Holy Ghost can do that.
God bless you in Jesus name, brother. Amen.
I pray in Jesus name that your friend may be alleviated by this grief and if the LORD has better plans; that he is blessed through tribulation that begets patience that begets experience that begets hope which begets unashamedness in the peace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. I pray that that same grace we have access to through faith in Him that your friend either is alleviated or he's grown through this. In Jesus name, amen.
I've held my peace with a sober understanding that biblically the cabal will win for a time or else the antichrist cannot come and for revelation to be true, he must come before Jesus comes back. However, hearing these things just sparks my faith that God in His long-suffering is truly gonna give us a little more time to get more souls and the Holy Spirit made my heart sing reading this.

God bless you in Jesus name amen.
Of course not. The vaccine is not the mark in my opinion; But a mark prototype. God told me my friend is HIS. It is only a matter of time till my friend converts. It's just with the ever shortening of these last days I get anxious to see my friend to covert before it is too late. God bless you in Jesus name, amen
I had a friend ages ago I wrote a song for and that was the title of it. Thank you for giving me a fond looking back on that former friend. God bless you again. The Holy Spirit is with you most certainly. In Jesus name, amen.
Run the race at your own pace fren. Hold fast to the Faith of Jesus Christ. My co workers are too losing their minds. One of them nearly cried to me regarding the death of a child she was observing (cps) to CIDs while the baby was in the bed with the parents.vi realize it's not that related to everything going on culturally, but I think the sorrow is increasing everywhere. I think your post is exactly what q was trying to say when we were suppose to be there for the normies. Maybe it wasn't the declass; It was the horrors being allowed to wake the world up. (Anyone that finds the post I would appreciate it). God bless you in Jesus name and as the others here have said, "See you on the other side" amen
Thank you, anon. My grandad was a big influence for me when I got saved. My grandmother gave me her Bible that he used to study and he used it so much it's hardly still able to be held together. I know he walked with Jesus. I don't know about the whole Mason thing, but I know all he ever encouraged anyone to do was be a Christian. God bless you in Jesus name, amen
Thank you for the words of comfort. Perhaps you are right and he did have a repentant heart for the things he swore an oath to and when I too change into my new body I will see him in heaven and have loads of conversations with him and Jesus. God bless you in Jesus name, sibling. Amen.
My grandad was a 33rd. He was a patriarch in my hometown and bought a house for a family. Didn't tell anyone till that family came to his funeral to tell us all. It grieves me even still to imagine my grandad was willing to go all in on satan when he seemed to be such a pillar to the community for Jesus Christ. I'm not saying all these accounts are false because "my poop was a good dude". It's just a real ache in my heart to see because my family swears up and down that he was loyal to Jesus Christ to the very end. Yet I've read his Mason Bible which every Mason is given. It details all presidents from George Washington to almost George bush who were masons. It would shock you to know pretty much all of our presidents were masons. But if the evil they are involved with is true then it is grievous to know my grandfather that tried so hard to bless the community was also actively seeking to destroy it. All the same I suppose it is a hard pill I will have to swallow alone and apart from my family. Anyways God bless you in Jesus name, friend for your work. Amen
That feeling is the Holy Spirit friend. God through His Son Jesus Christ is pouring out His Spirit on the nations and waring us of the immenent tribulation and what things are designed to prepare us to willingly and knowingly take the mark to have our earthly lives back. Stay wise and warn where you can, fren. God bless you in Jesus name, amen.
May God truly have mercy on these children. They didn't ask for any of this and we adults ought be ashamed for allowing others to raise our children apart from Jesus Christ. God have mercy on us all. Spur in us repentance that we may come back to you and cease to harm your children and those creatures in your image. In Jesus name amen.
As it's often said. It may be the harder road to walk but Who you gain at the end far outweighs what was lost. Jesus is worth that loss. We will struggle, yes. But I know His blood covers us that we may repent, dust ourselves off and try try again. The chastening is our evidence he still loves us. What would be a more fearful state is if we were no longer hearing His rebuke. God bless you in Jesus name, sibling. I look forward to sitting at the table with you in the kingdom of heaven with Jesus. Amen.
