As I read thro these posts,I thought of Paul the apostle. He said the good I shd be doing, I don't but what I don't want to do, I find myself doing. But he added thanks be to God who gives us the victory. So it's possible to live a victorious life over sin.
God is of purer eyes than to behold sin whether done by a professing xtian or not because he that commiteth sin is of the devil.
If you want a change, a real and comprehensive and lasting change, go to God and with a broken and contrite heart, confess every sin you remember committing, promise Him that you won't go back to them again and hold on in prayer until He lifts the burden and fills you with joy and peace. This is the born-again experience. It is not a prayer someone else will pray for you. You can have access with God and you will quit struggling to do what is right. You won't struggle not to smoke cos God will take away even the desire to smoke or drink

See dem
N.Y.L.O.N - Nigerian Youth League of Ogba Ncha with their unwarranted guilt.

Please, let it be known - There is NOTHING wrong with mast.urbation. Only sanctimonious illiterate pastors will tell you it will affect your performance with a woman in the future.
Modern science has shown us there is absolutely nothing medically wrong with masturba.tion.
Lose the guilt. You are committing no crime

who told you there is nothing spiritually wrong with masturbation! If you are a Christain, when you masturbate what do you think about? Jesus Christ? If you are a Muslim when you masturbate what do you think about or imagine? Prophet Mohammed? Eventhough masturbation may have no health implication as you may claim, but I do believe it has both. Psychological implication resulting from guilt and shame you feel at the end of it, a shame you do not even feel after fornicating as such, why the guilt if it is not detrimental? Remember it is only a healthy mind that can inhabit a healthy, progressive and happy life. How can a man be happy inside of him when he feels guilt and shame about his dark secrets? Spiritually , the sperm of a man lies his strength and potentials and rhe virtue for his greatness!! When you physically masturbate and ejaculate, spiritually the sperm is collected by principalities to further consolidate their strength over you!! You become limited and cannot achieve your full potentials in life cause there is a leakage somewhere!masturbation pollutes destiny of men. Man is both a spiritual and a physical being, once you accept that then surely there re spiritual side to especially masturbation by men!!! Have seen people who after long years of masturbation couldn't stop because ant single attempt to stop was resisted by evil forces spiritually. Same night they attempted to stop is same night they start having sex in their dreams, is it not strange? It is strange but that shows a battle raging in the spirit realm. Or you think what you dream of is a mere dream! Consider the story of a lady who has had multiple miscarriage anything she has sex in dream with a strange man during her pregnancy, now is it mere dream or spiritual forces at work? Surely masturbation has spiritual angle to it from the male perspective, for female, I think it s an ordinary sin that may have little or no consequences, but for man!!!! There is much to be lost!!!

Hmmmmm,let me see now.....ok

I love and trust people so quick and its a v.bad habbit to me

annawhite: what are u talking about? Have I ever seduce u b4 . . . . .how dare u judge me?

So sowie if I have 'judged' u, may Sweet Jesus open ur eyes to see the truth about u.

John 3-16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Romans-
8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

John 14-6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 1-1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Romans 10-8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
So,we shall be saved,right.However,Satan is still trying to steal our salvation.

The bible says- Hebrews 10-26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

So we need to stop willfully sinning,if we want to enter heaven.But Satan brings all sorts of temptation to us like anger and pride and lust,greed etc.
Our enemy is Satan and his demons,make no mistake.Other humans are not the real enemies in the race for eternal life.
Ephesians 6-
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints
Romans 8-
13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
James 4-
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

And 1 Peter 5-
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
2 Corinthians-
11Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

We can pray against temptation-

Luke 11-2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

3Give us day by day our daily bread.

4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.



And Jesus also prayed for Simon Peter against temptation

Luke 22-31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.



James1-
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.


So,how do we resist temptation -Just like Jesus did,we Quote the word against it

I st Samuel 2:9-He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

Psalm 199:11-Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.


John17:17-Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Christ is coming.and he comes for a pure church.
Ephesians 5-
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Romans 8-
13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.


So,how do we resist temptation-
James 4-7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Ephesians 6:17-

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Hebrews 4:

12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are Unclad and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do

What did Jesus do when he went into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
He spoke the word of God.
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
The Word of God can help us stop sinning.

Romans 6:23-23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 10: 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
I too struggled with sexual immorality until one day the temptation came and I think I said (I must have received help from the Lord)- THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The temptation eased up. And i thought the word of God can help the homosexuals or other sinners too.They can say when tempted



1 Corinthians 6-9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God when temptation comes,you need the word of God.

For pride-James 4:6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Also-
Matthew 23:12-
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

For fear-2 Timothy 1- 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

For Sexual immorality -18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

And for those who feel guilty -
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

And for behaviour-
1 Peter 5:8-Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
If you come under attack-
Romans 8-
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And when you you ask God for something-

John 14-
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

And if you doubt after asking-
Luke 17-
6And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Matthew 17:20-


And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

And if you lack confidence-

Philippians 4-
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Matthew 22-
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Hebrews 3:15-While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.


For rebellion-I Samuel 15:23-For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry

Or
I Samuel 15:22-And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Anger-
James 1-
19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.


And to be a doer of the Word-

22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.


And for Greed-
Matthew 6:24-
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

And for the slothful-
Proverbs 22-
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men

Or

Romans 12-11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

For Gluttony-
Philippians 4:5-

5Let your moderation be known unto all men.
And for over eating-
Matthew 4:4-
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.


I Corinthians 6:13-

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

And for envy and strife-
James 3-
14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Well, i dont knw if mine its a sin. Sincerely, i cant resist d urge of peeping a man & a woman together in a room. I can peep tru d window, keyhole, anytin u can tink of. Just, to knw wat they are doing.
