The Strong-hold of Escaping my present reality and thoughts.
Desiring comfort when I am called to actively confront and resist both satan thoughts and actions—on behalf of myself, my children, and anyone to whom God allows me to provide guidance—contradicts the responsibility He has entrusted to me.
It is essential for me to demonstrate, through Christ, the capability and authority to overcome satan's influences, so that I can show others can do the same. My testimony loses its impact and power if I am unable to resist these thoughts and temptations, both spiritually and physically.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20: "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body"
Peace and Happiness is obtained when I fight the temptation, the unrenewed-mind and the demonic spirit and win;
there is no-peace or power when i give-into it.
It seems-like, feels like peace and ease BUT IT IS DEATH when I give into fornication, masterbation or pornography. It is spending time with and in the very presence of satan and his demonic kingdom!
You God, Jesus, My Spirit and My Angels are all looking at me, watching me, shaking your heads because, I should not be doing what I'm doing, and I know it!
How can I disrepect ALL OF YOU SO EASILY. even while I am in the act, ALL OF YOU are watching me and adminishing me to stop and use all of YOU AND YOUR POWER TO RESIST what I am doing. I grieve YOU, I hurt YOU, I say with my actions (when i give into satan) "I don't care" what You went-through for me on that cross.
When I give-in-to the sin, it produces condemnation, guilt, shame, low self-esteem and it begins to cloud my judgement on other spiritual matters.
When I give-into fornication or masturbation, My confidence in myself, Jesus and what God has told me to do is dimenished!
I WILL FIGHT TO STAY IN YOUR REALITY GOD!
I WILL FIGHT TO STAY IN YOUR PRESENCE GOD!
I WILL FIGHT THE THOUGHT SO THAT I CAN FEEL YOU SMILING ON ME AND OPENING NEW DOORS BECAUSE YOU CAN TRUST ME! AND I CAN TRUST MYSELF.
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, and I bring to you my struggle with masturbation/fornication/pornography. Father, forgive me, for I want to live a life that is honoring to you and one free from slavery. Lord forgive me for looking to another source of comfort rather than the COMFORTER whom you have promised whom You Are Right Now. Holy Spirit reveal to me the roots of this sin and this train of thinking that causes me to over-look-You, Put You aside and think I can repent and everything will be ok.
In the name of Jesus I command every spirit of sexual perversion working against my life to go, all mind polluting thought’s of fantasy every arrow of lust that the enemy would shoot against me, I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ and forbid you from tormenting me any more.
I speak to every evil spirit and I remind you that I have been bought by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ and that you no longer have any rights to operate in my life and that you must leave now; Lord shine your light into the dark areas of my life and help me to Receive Your Anointing that You said destroys this yoke of bondage.
Surround me with Your Wall of Fire and give me Your Strength every moment of every day aganist my struggle. I pray this in the Powerful and Precious Name of Jesus, Amen
PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. (Eph. 5:3 NIV)
Lord, I come boldly before Your throne of Grace and Mercy to find help and strength in my time of need. Lord Your Word says to watch and pray so that I will not enter into temptation, for I know that My Spirit is willing, but Father my flesh is weak.
Lord, I submit myself to You, for Your Word says that if I submit myself to You, that I could resist (this fornication, this person, this pornography and myself this masturbation) and he and the thoughts would flee from me. Lord I am fully submitted to You, all that I am, all that I ever hope to be. I surrender unto You.
Father, I am weak but You are strong, I know in my weakness I allow You to be strong in my life & situation. I know that my strength is not in my will to withstand the devil and his many temptations, but my faith, my strength, my hope is in You and the fact that You have already made me righteous and has given me the victory & what I need. Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might & Glory.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I cast down every wicked, lustful, lascivious, and unclean thought of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I refuse to allow any thoughts of the enemy to enter in; I dismiss them from me in the name of Jesus.
Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report, and I pray that You will help me to keep my mind from wandering into idleness and My Mouth Speaking Your Word Only.
Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirit that was trying to confuse me. I thank You for not allowing me to be drawn away by his words of flattery, his lustful eyes, or his gifts of deceit. I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence. So Father, please help me to guard my heart by what I think & the words that I speak.
Father, I pray & Thank You for placing upon me the whole armour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the tricks of the enemy. I Thank You for delivering me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil.
In the name of Jesus, I take authority over satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places. I bind them up in the name of Jesus Christ and render them helpless from operating in my life. In the name of Jesus I bind and cast off ever spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life. Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice, and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God and a dwelling place for Your Holy Spirit and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ covers me.
Satan, in the name of Jesus, every stronghold, You have tried to bring against me has been rendered helpless, powerless and ineffective to operate in my life, by the authority of Jesus Christ! I put off all forms of lust and put on the new nature of righteousness, purity, and honesty. Jesus has defeated you satan in my life, and now you are under my feet, and your power of lust and sin is broken in my life.
Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer, and delivering me from the tricks of the enemy. I thank You for Your Word and how It is established in my heart and in my life. I thank You for giving me power over the enemy, I thank You for strengthening me so that I will not defile my body, and that it is a temple for Your Holy Spirit. I Thank You Lord, for restoring me, for cleansing me, and for forgiving me for my weakness. I praise You; I give You all the glory. Amen
SEXUAL SIN
The Bible, particularly 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, teaches that sexual immorality (fornication/sexual sin) is the primary way one sins against their own body, as this act uniquely uses the body in a way contrary to its purpose for the Lord, uniting people in a profound physical and spiritual way that desecrates the body's sacredness as a temple of the Holy Spirit. While other sins impact the body, sexual sin is distinct because it involves the physical union of "one flesh," making it a direct violation of the body's intended purpose for God, leading to spiritual and physical consequences and dishonoring Christ.
Key Biblical Passages & Concepts:
1 Corinthians 6:18-20: "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body"
.
Body as a Temple: This passage highlights that believers' bodies are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, making them sacred and belonging to God, not themselves.
Sexual Union: Sexual sin creates a "one flesh" union, mirroring the unity of Christ and the Church, but in a corrupted way, thus defiling the temple.
Why Sexual Sin is Unique:
Direct Physical Act: Unlike many sins (like gluttony or anger) that affect the body indirectly, sexual immorality directly misuses the physical body for selfish gratification.
Spiritual Defilement: It damages the spiritual union with Christ, turning a sacred space (the body) into something used for lust rather than glorifying God.
Honoring God vs. Self: It's a choice to serve selfish desire (sex outside God's design) over God, who intended the body for His purposes.
Broader Implications:
Purity & Honor: Controlling one's body in purity is seen as honorable, reflecting love for others and God.
Renewal of the Mind: Overcoming sexual sin involves renewing the mind to align with God's will (Romans 12:2).
