Lust Epidemic

When I was young, I was exposed to ungodly sexual relations and practices. As I grew up, it became a part of my life, as if it were a normal and acceptable practice. My friends, my family, and most of the people I knew watched pornography. I even knew kids who were fornicating in Junior High School.



It was not until very late in my life, that I realized pornography, fornication, and lusting in my heart was a stronghold that was spurred by demonic influences.


I felt quite convicted by the Holy Spirit when I read this verse, and realized I was grieving the Lord with my impure heart:

Matthew 5:28 KJV - But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


When we desire someone else's wife, we are breaking the commandments of God:

Exodus 20:17 KJV - Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

I knew deep down that desiring other women were wrong but I denied the conviction of the Holy Spirit and allowed the spirit of lust to take over. The spirit of lust seeks to pervert our hearts, and break up families.

I also thought, what is the big deal in watching pornography and "servicing myself" if I'm not hurting anyone? Well, it not only creates a consumer demand on fornication and adultery, but it also feeds these spirits of lust that you have allowed into your body through sin. These spirits of lust wanted me to go deeper and deeper into debauchery and various types of porn, thus corrupting my heart even more.

I found that I was no longer able to control my sexual desires, even when I came to Christ Jesus. It was around that time that I realized it was a demonic stronghold in my life. I felt convicted when I read this verse, as I was dishonoring God daily:

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 KJV - Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

I began to wonder how many people I have opened up to demonic spirits, allowing them to watch porn at my house, or those whom I fornicated with. I was sad at all the hearts I may have broken from turning away from the relationship I had with them. This addiction to lust and objectification of women left me with deep regret and a wake of destruction that I could not repair. Not to mention the bad example I was setting for those around me.



These things allows Satan to have a foothold in your life, and all of the angels in Heaven and God Himself sees the sins. Before you know it, you will be a slave to sexual sin, and could lose the Holy Spirit and even your salvation!

Jesus told us clearly the lawful ways and purposes of a relationship between a man and woman:

Matthew 19:4-6 KJV - And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, [5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Please, if you are in the sin of fornication, pornography, and desiring other women, please know this is very dangerous and grieves the Lord. Please turn away from these practices and pray for forgiveness.
