TOPIC: BREAKING FREE FROM MASTURBATION ADDICTION.
When you find yourself gaining pleasure by touching any part of your body abnormally, it is masturbation.
HOW DO I BREAK FREE FROM MASTURBATION?
- Confess to God; Recognize and acknowledge it as a problem. Proverbs 28:13
You confess to God first and seek His mercy.
- Seek Accountability. After you have confessed to God, find a trusted accountability partner. When it comes to accountability in addiction, only your cannot handle it. You need a confidant you can always run to; and confide in. That is why the Bible said two Is better than one. Having someone who understands your struggle can help you go a long way in breaking free from addictions.
- Renew your mind. Romans 4:12. The will of God is three: What is good, what is pleasing and what is perfect. When you have found out the will of God, replace negative thoughts that trigger it with thoughts of God’s word through prayer, songs, studying of God’s word and meditation.
- Practice Self Discipline. Galatians 4:13 We must know that self-control is a fruit of the spirit. Develop regular habits or routines like exercise, games, etc. Be mindful of the media you watch as most of them could trigger it. If what you are watching isn’t healthy, you can’t control masturbation. Guide your eyes from temptation. Avoid gazing and centering your attention on triggers. If your love language is touch, mind who touches you because one tough is enough to trigger it. To handle it, keep it cool by consciously working towards not allowing people touch you carelessness.
- Cultivate meaningful relationship.
- Guide your eyes and your heart. Job 31:1
- Seek God’s strength. Philippians 4:13 Lean on God’s strength and seek His guidance.
Remember the journey towards breaking free is not a destination is a process.
When you notice you’re going through masturbation, quietly go to God. You must know that God has a way out of it. Tell God to help you. Masturbation could lead to major health complications.
HOW DOES GOD VIEW MASTURBATION
Masturbation is a sin before God. It is filthy and makes you look dirty.
God hates it. If you cannot handle your sexual urge, go and get married. God designed sex and not masturbation.
God sees it like you’re trying to take the ownership of your life. He wants to be glorified in all that we do, not wanting to be left behind. Many people go into masturbation because they don’t understand how their body system works.
Finally, God sees it like you’re trying to tamper with your body.
God wants us to be holy and we need to be holy. If you’re masturbating, you’re not holy.
