Pornography is straight from the pits of hell!

Inverted pentagrams, devil horns, devil tails, etc. in the logos. Obviously, Satan is behind the massive pornography industry. It’s in plain sight in the porn logos. Yet millions still watch it.

The Bible gives stern warnings about willful lust:

(Mark 9:47-48) Jesus said, “And (IF YOUR EYE CAUSES YOU TO SIN, PLUCK IT OUT). It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched”

(1 John 2:16) “For all that is in the world, (THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES), and the pride of life is not of the Father but (IS OF THE WORLD)”

(Matthew 5:28) Jesus said, “But I say to you that whoever (LOOKS AT A WOMEN TO LUST FOR HER HAS ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY) with her in his heart” (SEE ALSO GALATIANS 5:19-21/1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10/HEBREWS 13:4)

(1 Peter 2:11) ”Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, (ABSTAIN FROM FLESHLY LUST WHICH WAR AGAINST THE SOUL)”

(Psalms 101:3) “I will set (NO WICKED THING BEFORE MINE EYES): I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me”

(2 Timothy 2:22) “(FLEE ALSO YOUTHFUL LUST; BUT PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS), faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart”

(Matthew 6:22-23) Jesus said, “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But (IF YOUR EYE IS BAD, YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL BE FULL OF DARKNESS.) If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

(1 John 3:3) “And every man that hath this hope in him [JESUS] PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE”

(1 Thessalonians 4:7) “For God did not call us to uncleanness, (BUT IN HOLINESS)”

(2 Corinthians 7:1) “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, (LET US CLEANSE OURSELVES FROM ALL FILTHINESS OF THE FLESH AND SPIRIT, PERFECTING HOLINESS) in the fear of God”

(1 Peter 1:15-16) “But as he which hath called you is holy, so (BE YE HOLY IN ALL MANNER OF CONVERSATION); Because it is written, (BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY)”

(Hebrews 12:14) “Pursue peace with all people, (AND HOLINESS, WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD)”

(Matthew 5:48) Jesus said, “(BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT), even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”

(1 John 2:6) “He who says he abides in Him [JESUS] (OUGHT HIMSELF ALSO TO WALK JUST AS HE WALKED)”

(Ephesians 5:8) “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. (WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT)”

(2 Timothy 3:12) “Yea, and (ALL THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION)”

(Romans 8:5-6) “For (THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH SET THEIR MINDS ON THE THINGS OF THE FLESH), but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be (CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH), but to be spiritually minded is life and peace”

(1 John 2:16) “For all that is in the world, (THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES), and the pride of life is not of the Father but (IS OF THE WORLD)”

(Romans 8:13) “For (IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH YOU WILL DIE); but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live”

(Galatians 5:24) “And those who are Christ’s (HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES)”

(Romans 8:1) “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, (WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT)”

(Galatians 5:16) “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and (YOU SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH)”

(Romans 8:8) “So then they that are in the flesh (CANNOT PLEASE GOD)”

(Romans 9:8) “That is, They which are (THE CHILDREN OF THE FLESH, THESE ARE NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD) but the children of the promise are counted as the seed”

(Romans 8:14) “For as many as (ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD)”

(Revelation 21:8) “8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Actively and continuously indulging in pornography can open doors to the enemy.

Brief suggestions on how to break this stronghold:

1. Cut out everything that will trigger you to pursue things to feed your lust. Delete your social media accounts such as Instagram and cut out Netflix and TV. You would want to cut everything off at the root.
2. It can be a demonic issue. Demons inside a person can put pressure on the person to lust. Find someone to pray for deliverance over you to cast out the demon(s).
3. Fasting is a powerful weapon to break strongholds.
4. If you are not married, ask God to find you a spouse if it is in His will. The scripture does read “it is better to marry than to burn with passion” in 1 Corinthians 7:9.
   
5. Renew your mind with the Word of God (the Bible) continuously.
6. Have a powerful, consistent prayer life and petition, even beg, God to help you overcome or take away your addiction.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can receive Him into your heart, and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.

If you are sincere, you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):

“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
