prayer & fasting helps break addiction keep going till you get it.
I just stumbled across this video after researching the topic as I too myself am struggling. It is one of the most real videos on the topic I have seen on youtube and I’ve seen quite a few. You speak from the heart and the way you have articulated yourself and referenced scriptures in the bible was outstanding. You just won a new subscriber!
Thank you young lady , for this. I really needed to hear this. I so appreciate your honesty , openess and suggestions you offered that came from your own experience. Please pray for me as i will for deliverance for everyone who struggles in this area. Thanks again

Thank you for bringing light to spiritual warfare. I think people often overlook Ephesians 6:12, but the spirit realm is very real and it’s our fighting ground.
Love how you pulled from Off the Kirb Ministries, totally blessed channel. Came across your Video thank you God. Jesus's name is so Strong! God Bless😁 Watched all your Vids. Praise Him For Convicting you throughout this time. You Grace seems like a blessing to people's lives.
Thank you. God bless you :)
@@grace_and_purity You're Welcome :) Quite Inspiring for me to record and Post My Story/Testimony and Thoughts and real Topics like this one. I wish more people could listen to your Video. I've slightly stolen👀😆 your well said Phrase " You'll never regret not sinning the next day. " Because it means so much and is so relatable. Well said I wish there were more like you😁👍 In this fallen world though not many can speak aloud on this topic now exactly what right and wrong is like you. Praise Jesus the Savior ❤ thanks for Responding to a Comment!
@@DaSlippyNana awww of course plagarize whatever you’ll use for God’s glory :D please pray for me and this channel to grow!
@@grace_and_purity Absolutely Will, keep going strong Grace. God Bless.
I’m a Christian, 27 y.o., not married. I have the sin of masturbation, but specifically via web with strangers. The first time I did it was at 19, then there was a long periods, like 2 years I didn’t do it but I always come back to it. And every time between I think I am free. And every time I felt so much guilty and emptiness after.. This is one of the hardest sins to overcome, but God can free me. I believe in it. Just need to grow in faith❤️🙏
I’m with you there sweet friend. It feels like we will never beat it. But once we do it’s like “I had the power to beat it all along (with Christ)!” Remember to speak positive affirmations to yourself. Don’t think “I’ll never beat this, I’m going to need to do this, I won’t make it, I’m not strong enough, it’s been too long.” Think (and say aloud) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This is completely within my reach. I can be free. I am loved and I don’t need to do this. I am in control.” It may also be beneficial for you to break soul ties with those strangers, pray for them even, and make an eternal commitment not to return to those sites. Having an accountability partner is so helpful. Don’t worry sweet friend, you CAN do this. You ARE able. You have EVERYTHING you need to win. Keep putting satan back in his place !!!
Also! I felt led to ask if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit / speak in tongues? That definitely helped me a lot. I can send you a little study on that if you’re interested.
@@grace_and_purity Thanks you a lot🙏 I will try not to say negative affirmations, as say it a lot..
@@grace_and_purity I am jot baptized, only started to visit Pentecostal church 2 months ago. Yes, send please

I was tired of being caught while in the act. Almost everyone seen me at a particular time or another. Therefore I made a point to quit Masturbation for good. But it's hard not to give in. First time I quit, I quit for 8 months straight without sexual sins at all. But then when the 8th month came, I fell back into the same scheme. But I'm not going to give up. I'm trying once again to rid sexual sins from my life!
Like your parents caught you?
Desensitization is the word. Thank you so much for this video.
When I was 20 years old I committed my first act of masturbation, having an orgasm was the ultimate feeling.I felt guilty and I knew it was a sin but I did it anyway I tried justifying it.I struggled with the act for at least two years and I finally turned to.Jesus Christ who.broke the power of sin in my life.
It took a lot of bravery and boldness to post this video. I truly appreciate you coming at this situation with no fear about condemning yourself on this issue. This is true testimony, no bias towards YOUR feelings on the issue but instead presented the undeniable guilt you feel that was placed there by Divine Design.
I lot of people who deal with this do not feel like they can come to their churches.
I had only one person I could talk to about it. I first started "doing it " when I was 14....after I became a Christian it was still a stronghold. A good verse is 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.
Remain Blessed Special people of God
I am a very strong believer in God as I’ve achieved things that there’s no way I’ve achieved myself. Charisma, for example wasn’t a thing I was born with. Popularity too. Mentality and so on. Unfortunately I commited this sin a lot of times, but that’s why I hate myself. I’ve become a rather insensitive person (not bad person) and since I’ve always looked at everything with a justification perspective I was more and more disgusted by myself. So it didn’t matter to me if I commited this, very sin. But I’ve decided to work on it for myself.
I'm so lost in this. I want my life back before how it was. I started of with a NoFap community, abstineting from masturbation it would make me feel better.
Some people say it is healthy some that is a sin. Deeply inside after relapse I always feel guilt and sinful so this tells me that I need to get over it.
Been fighting it for a long time and I've made some good streaks but I always fall back again and again and again..
I highly reccomend the book "Every Young Man's Battle" by Stoeker. My husband also had this same issue and he says he wished he had this book earlier in his life. It is a wonderful testimony.
Jesus Christ love u
**** Be a Christian czcams.com/video/Oy8ixaxkEII/video.html Not Aqualung
Thanks

Do you have an HONESTY & COMMUNION GROUP with 2or3 "brothers"?
Who are honest like in Leviticus 15?
Men Who agree to pray for the human family EVERY DAY?
God and Jesus loves you all!!! Jesus died for you all!!! Jesus is risen!!!
Yes, own 'strength' is useless
Oxytocin. Last syllable is pronounced 'sin'.
Thx lol. I realized that AS I was editing ofc.
I can see it but I don’t agree. Because there’s a lot of things that produce oxytocin which is a normal hormone in our body that we can’t get rid of, that’s doesn’t make it a sin.
You buggin lol stupidity
"The modern use of Matthew 5:28 is to regard human beings as robots who are presumed to be able switch off certain aspects of their bodies and minds at will, and reactivate them at the moment they utter the words “I do.” Arguments that ‘lust’ objectifies women and treats them as sex objects abound in their condemnation of the most essential of all human instincts, leaving an endless trail of trauma, guilt and hadephobia in their wake. In reality, they are using a passage which endorses the worst forms of female objectification, misogyny and loveless slavery; their erroneous arguments enabled through religion’s ultimate foundations: the lust for power and control - and the blatant refusal to think."
-Tanya Simmonds
Don’t worry, no female objectification there. Women can lust just as easily as men can. The sun starts with the intentions of our heart. Same reason why covetousnesses is sinful, if we were given the opportunity we would sin, so wanting to sin isn’t actually innocent. “Meditate on good and not evil things”
@@grace_and_purity “One may be forcibly restrained from wicked actions, or barred from committing them, but to forbid people from _contemplating_ them is too much. In particular, it is absurd to hope to banish envy of other people’s possessions or fortunes, if only because the spirit of envy can lead to emulation and ambition and have positive consequences.”
-Christopher Hitchens
@@grace_and_purity I really question your god’s intelligence if he thinks that intentions come from the heart, rather than the brain.
Oh, I can just see you replying now with, “Oh, it’s not the literal heart, it’s a figure of speech!”
Yeah, based on what-the words of something that a quack apologist told you?
In the days of Jeezus Harold Christ, sayings like “from the heart” would’ve meant the LITERAL thing!
Oh, by the way, you do realize that you’re PROPERTY according to the Bible, don’t you? (Exodus 20:17)
@@DesGardius-me7gf It’s a thought crime because God knows if we had the chance to do it we would in a heartbeat. Honestly it’s just a sad fact that the system works against us on both sides. The evil one wants to destroy us and uses our nature against us. God wants to save us and our nature rebels against him. Either way we have to face eternity , whether it be hell or heaven. That’s all I’m concerned with for other believers. I want them to live and not die. It’s messy business whatever you do.
Exodus 20:17 says that coveting is a sin, whether it be an ox or a person. The same applies to women (rephrased it would be: “do not cover your neighbors husband.”) God clearly says that women and men are equal but different (Galatians 3:28). A wife belongs to a man in the same way a man belongs to a woman. The reason it is phrased like this is because men would be reading the original scriptures (or hearing them) and then teach them to their wives. Women didn’t recieve the Bible from anyone but their husbands and families usually, to my knowledge.
The heart has always been a symbol , even before Jesus lived on earth. The heart in ancient Aztec cultures symbolized the spiritual center (a persons intelligence, feeling, and spirit). The Bible says to Love God with all your heart in the Torah, exodus 20. The Jews understood what the heart symbolized.
@@grace_and_purity Well, sin is actually Yahweh’s fault.
So for those of us who are Incels at age 57, what are we to do, exactly???
I can't answer that for you, but I know that the body takes care of itself after a while. You (unintentionally or not) give yourself high drive if you are viewing explicit material and lusting regularly. You can avoid lust, but it is hard to trust yourself if you have no outlet besides masturbation. By stopping the sin of the eyes, you will have much better control over your urges.
You are not alone I am almost 2 years older than you and struggle also. I think the age is irrelevant. The wisdom in what she has said still applies. We will succeed with Jesus Christ. Don’t give up the battle. God bless.
I hope you find a husband so you can express your love to him in a holy marriage.
Sin is not in US. It around us. Natural desire is not a sin.
Exactly religion low key makes people delusional
Sin is a bullshit concept concocted by narcissistic assholes in order to control people.
Breaking the law is not in US. It around us. Natural desire to break the law is not bad..
@@danielvirgo975 The natural desire given by the Creator cannot be sinful!
@@wander9820 says who? You are aware the Bible says that our natural desire is sinful right? We are meant to be born again and have a Godly desire.
the Bible never mentions masturbation.
Wait how old were you when you got married because I’m also 19 and single
@@cardboardcapeii4286 I got married last year at the age of 21, Engaged at 20 💕
@@grace_and_purity congratulations! When did you start dating?
Thanks for making this video about quite a difficult subject. There was something you said which made sense maybe to you or to me, but I don't think it applies to other people. The guilt felt with masturbation isn't just natural, I think its societal as well. Generally (not always) men don't feel guilt about masturbation, but women feel it far more. In fact we know that its still more difficult to talk about the subject for women, whereas with men its expected. The attitude among some girls is this sense of shame because it shows some kind of physical desperation for sex, which men are expected to have naturally and women are not. So even if you or me feel naturally guilty about masturbating, societal pressures can't be excluded...
In my opinion masturbation doesn't do any harm in moderation and for the record I think you're lovely
my generic reply - Masturbation -> czcams.com/video/Oy8ixaxkEII/video.html If you are looking for justification for your actions, this video is not for you:
The one true God, the creator of heaven and earth, the one who will judge everyone. is present when you do this thing. Angels and demons maybe there as well.
If you feel guilty you are guilty.
What you are thinking about is intent. Are you really any better than someone think about underage girls (Aqualung)?
So you don’t cheat one your wife? But you really want to based on your thoughts and actions.
Start being a Christian. Don’t make a demon happy today.
Thank you for your comment. I would disagree that men feel more or less guilty, I know from experiences and relationships that they share the same guilt. However women are more sensitive to the holy spirit, which may explain why they are more expressive about guilt. Men tend to put on a face to keep reputation lol.
So for those of us who are Incels at age 57, what are we to do, exactly???
It’s a bad struggle

Cue Twilight Zone music. Screwball.
When the Christian God says, "Love me or I will burn you in Hellfire forever," why is that different from a rapist holding a gun to a woman's head and saying, "Give me what I want or I will blow your brains out?" Where in that do you see God's love and respect for free will? When someone threatens to burn you screaming and thrashing about in horrible agony for a million, billion, trillion, gazillion years, after which your agony will have only just begun, they are obviously attempting to deny you your free will and it is hard to see that as an expression of love. A god that would torture any living creature in such a monstrous manner is devoid of justice, mercy, and love. If a man were to throw a living dog or a cat into a fire, you would think that man was a psychopath. Christians tell us that God is like a loving father. What loving father throws his child into a fire? This is not a good god. Don't tell me God does not throw people into the fire. Nothing can exist without God. He created everything. He created the test: if you pass you go to Heaven. If you fail you burn. If he wanted to save us from the fire, he needed only to stop burning us. If you approve of such cruelty, there is something horribly wrong with you.
Christians tell us that people cannot enter Heaven unless they are Christians. If that is true it raises the following question: If Jesus were an all powerful, all knowing God who wanted to save ALL mankind from the damnation of eternal Hellfire that He invented for them, why would he deliver his message to a thinly populated desert area where most people were poor and illiterate, and then allow his message to slowly percolate through the world over a period of thousands of years thus allowing trillions of men, women, and children to be left in ignorance of his word and salvation, and then be condemned to eternal agony? If Jesus were all powerful and all knowing, He could in the flash of an instant make all mankind knowledgeable of his word and salvation. They would still have the freedom to choose or reject his word, but they would at least know what Jesus taught and have a chance of going to heaven. It seems obvious that God would deliver his word to the whole world in the blink of an eye if He were a good God who loved us as a father loves his children. But He didn't.
Matthew 26:64 "... Hereafter, YOU [Caiaphus, not anyone else in any future time] shall SEE [observe in person] the Son of man, sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven"
-- Caiaphus died in 36 CE and never saw Jesus's "sitting on the right hand of power..."
Jesus exposed himself as a false doomsday prophet.
Read Deuteronomy 18:22
I prefer the name, Jeezus Harold Christ.
I'm sure he did. Just not in this earthly realm :)
@@grace_and_purity So, he returned " to judge the nations " in his follower's lifetimes ?
No one noticed.
@@dvonzosch461 no I’m saying that on Judgment day it would be revealed to this religious authoritarian that Jesus sits on the right hand of the Father, meaning that it would be clear that Jesus is indeed God’s son. Nowhere does it say that it would be in this earthly realm. We will all see Christ on the right hand of the Father on judgement day!
@@grace_and_purity Matthew 10 23:
" But when they persecute you in this city, flee to another, for truly I say unto YOU [ not anyone else in a future time ] YOU [ his followers in his _physical_ presence, to whom he was speaking ] will _not have gone through the cities of Israel_ till the Son of man comes back "
-- the Romans scattered the Jews, his followers had physically " gone through the cities of Israel ", and Jesus never returned as he promised.
Matthew 16:28:
" Truly I say unto YOU [ not anyone else in a future time or place ] There are some standing HERE [ not anywhere else, not in any future time, nor any other people physically unknown to him ] that shall not taste of death [ they would be still alive ] till they SEE [ observe in person ] the Son of man coming in his kingdom "
-- the Apostles died, in spite of Jesus's promise, and never physically saw Jesus's claim of coming in his kingdom.
Matthew 24:34 has Jesus describing the literal events before his return:
" Truly I say unto YOU [ not anyone else in any nebulous future, nor any other people as yet unborn ] _this generation_ shall not pass [ away in death ] till _all_ these things [ that Jesus spoke of ] are fulfilled "
-- Jesus never said:
' I'll see you in one or two thousand years or so '
-- Jesus never said:
' I'll see you in a future " church age " as defined by an 1880s Dispensationalist theologian, as the reason why I didn't return '
Jesus was speaking in his follower's ' here and now '.
There's 20 plus scriptures written only for the purpose of reassuring the early followers, that Jesus was indeed coming back in their lifetimes, as proven by the Apostle Paul, at 1st Thessalonians 4:14-18
The simple and honest reading of the bible text means what it plainly says.
Notice that the bible book of John, written approximately 98 -120 CE, when the early followers realized that Jesus was not returning as he promised, curiously, never contains these promises spoken by Jesus.
Like a jilted bride, the early followers had invested so much time and "lost opportunity cost", and we're so invested emotionally, that they couldn't accept that Jesus failed them, and now this belief had become a "heavenly hope".
Your body belongs to you, and you alone, not some fanciful immortal hiding behind the fabric of time, who can’t be bothered to prove to his alleged creation that he even exists. Don’t let anyone try and gaslight you into thinking otherwise.
1st Corinthians 6:19-20 is nothing more than words on paper, and words on paper DO NOT constitute as fact or reality.

Did you know that every prophesy in the Bible has been 100 percent fulfilled, there are no contradictions, and medical conditions were represented in the Bible before they were actually investigated and defined concretely by science?
@@grace_and_purity No contradictions? Oh really?
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began…” -Titus 1:2
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie…” -2 Thessalonians 2:11
That’s a contradiction. And before pull the “read it in context” card, I’m going to point out that the context of 2 Thessalonians 2 is irrelevant. I’m not interested in the _why_ in the passage, I’m interested in the _what_ in it.
What is the God doing in 2 Thessalonians 2, he’s sending a delusion to people so that they’ll believe what’s false, that’s the same thing as lying, no matter what amount of mental gymnastics you try to pull.
The ONLY conclusion that any unbiased reader can come to is that there’s a contradiction.
@@DesGardius-me7gf, it is not God who is providing the lie referred to, but Satan.
@@likaself It says right in the text that God is the one sending the lie. You just don’t want to see the contradiction due to brainwashing.
@@DesGardius-me7gf God isn’t capable of evil. When the Bible says he “hardens hearts” or “sends delusions” the text means he steps aside and allows satan to work. Why? Because satan is the father of lies (biblical verse that I am too lazy to retrieve). You should probably look elsewhere to get these apparent contradictions sorted because it’s impossible for me to do it over a comment section. However I assure you that there are articles online for passages.
