Crying Out Against Pornography
I am convinced that this won't be a very popular and well accepted blog, but I will take my chances anyway to post for readers who are interested in discovering the dangers of this kind of behavior. Many people watch pornography very comfortably and some even engage in it. Porn is one of the addictions that has captured the freedom of many Christians. The danger in watching pornography is that first of all, it is a work of the flesh, and not the Holy Spirit. As I will do my best to remain informative about the subject rather than personal, I must say that I cannot seem to understand the how and why behind watching porn. Some people say it is to arouse them especially when they're with their mate. But to me it's like going into a restaurant and sitting at the table and watching everyone else enjoy they're food. That totally doesn't make any sense to me. Furthermore, pornography is an evil spirit with its roots lying in perversion. Perversion is the strong man or head demon of all kinds of sexual sins. Perversion consists of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, incest, bestiality, rape, and molestation. So when people invite this so-called friend, which is really an enemy, into their homes and lives, they are entertaining and activating demonic spirits into their lives. Again I'm trying not to be too personal, but it sickens me to see supposedly born-again believers who praise and magnify God/Jesus on Sunday and mid-week services, but play around on Satan's playground in their private lives. Most people will say that what they do in private is nobody's business. But the truth of the matter is pornography and any other sexual sin is very public and makes a noise for kindred spirits to recognize and attach themselves to keep the person or the couple further enslaved. Pornography or other forms of sexual sins produce fruits that its victims do not enjoy consuming. As I stated earlier, it releases demonic spirits into the home which causes a person to think and act more fleshy and less godly. Many Christians who have bought into the lie that it's ok, eventually get hooked on it and desire to stop watching it or to stop fornicating on God but realize they have become back bound after Jesus had done set them free. Many sit in the pews of churches and can't get a breakthrough in the Spirit of God because their minds have traveled so far away from God during participation in this evil activity. One thing about the flesh is that it will NEVER be satisfied but will always want more and more of fleshy and worldly things. And the more a person feeds into their flesh, the more they choke out the Spirit of God. I am mainly talking about church folks and people who say they are saved because people who do not profess to know Christ will do whatever they want to do without giving a second thought. But saved, Holy Ghost-filled folks should know better. We wonder why there is so much teen pregnancy and babies out of wedlock amongst Christian juveniles. Because Matthew 7:17 says that a tree is known by the fruit it bears. And that is not to say that every Christian whose daughter or son got a baby out of wedlock was watching pornography or participating in sexual sin, but the general idea is that when porn is in the home, and readily accepted and even encouraged, youth are more likely to satisfy their curiosity of what mommy and daddy has been doing and watching. However, nowadays, pornography is very easily accessible and youth can download any kind of triple X material out there. That's why its so important for Christian mothers and Christian fathers to stay before God in prayer for their children and themselves as well. I understand that everyone has different struggles and some Christians struggle with a desire to watch pornography or have eextramarital affairs or engage in same-sex activity. Quite frankly, I think people are not hell-scared enough to stay away from the forbidden. Even when Satan sends an imp my way to try to tempt me into sexual sin or a lustful conversation, I instantly think about my relationship with God first and how heartbroken he would be if I severed what we have to go a-whoring after strange flesh. I once told a friend that I do not cheat on my husband, not just because I love him, but because I love GOD. I believe if a person's love for God ran deep enough, they would resist temptation with everything they have on the inside of them. This kind of love also runs deep in the mind where you fantasize on ways to please the Lord by the way you deal with people. There has been times when I have tried to minister to men, and they couldn't hear anything I was saying for trying to get the opportunity to ask me for my phone number. But because I love God, I can see lost men as potential brothers in Christ who needs to see a difference in a holy woman because most unsaved men tempt church ladies because they've seen so much looseness and compromise. Well, I let them know quickly that I'm not like those other women who shout and dance and speak in tongues and fall all out on the floor on Sunday morning, but hikesing up their dress and coming out of their underwear with men they're not married to on Sunday night. To me that is a very ugly and distasteful lifestyle. I love men and I want to be respected by them. Therefore, I understand that I must maintain discretion and integrity even when a nice-looking dude approaches me. As far as saved men or at least I'll say church going men who make it known that they find me attractive, I'm a little more stern with how I deal with them because it usually comes to me as a turn off when a brother can preach the paint off the wall or sing like the heavenly angels, but then no soon as the service is over or at a later date, he strikes up a conversation about he can't get me off his mind. It's extremely difficult to receive a holy message from someone like that when they don't appear to be striving against sin. On the other hand, when it comes to lesbians or bisexual women, I be so tempted to just flat out tell them to GO TO HELL!!!!! But then I have to take a step back and consider they have a soul too and God can use me to witness to them because really their minds are not right. I'm not judging them or judging homosexual men because they are in need of the Savior and to be delivered. But I must say, that I have to be led by the Spirit of Christ to minister to someone on a level which I have no understanding for why they do what they do. Even with the pornography and sexual sins among heterosexuals, I see it as people trying to fill a void that can only be filled by Jesus Christ and his love. There is no love in pornography, it's just sex. Any kind of sex that doesn't glorify God in the body, will always leave emptiness in the soul and frustration in the mind. So with all that said, I cry out against pornography and sexual perversion. God wants us to be holy and he wants us to be clean in mind, body, and soul. I pray that this blog has blessed the reader in a very unprecedented way.
