When dealing with lust Jesus counsels, "And if your right hand/eye causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell." (Matthew 5:30)
Jesus uses this shocking violent language to try to wake us up to the reality of the relentless nature of this beast.
Jesus is saying, "You must be absolutely merciless in slaying this beast, you cannot negotiate with lust."
This is the same principle found in the story of Joseph and Potiphars wife. When she grabbed him and tried to seduce him, Joseph did his best Forrest Gump impression and just RAN. š He knew if he stayed, the temptation would overcome him.
Today men are faced with a pernicious enemy in porn. Porn is a merciless beast that wants to devour your mind. Jesus counsel is the same to you today, match and exceed the beasts merciless attack, with a merciless attack of your own. āļø
Ask yourself what needs to be cut off and plucked out. Is it an app? I don't know, but it's better to lose Twitter than your whole body be thrown into hell. š¤·āāļø
You must HATE š¤¬ porn and attack every point of temptation with merciless intensity.
I am currently working on and almost finished a comprehensive online course aimed at tackling and overcoming pornography ONCE AND FOR ALL!
I struggled with porn myself for well over a decade and I am on a mission to see AT LEAST 1 million men freed from this devouring beast!!!
As soon as it's finished I will release it along with an online forum and community to maintain fellowship, accountability and male friendship. Keep your eye open for it SOON, Lord willing!
