A Spiritual Weapon That Can Help Overcome Masturbation (Lustful Craving)
I too have been in the act masturbation & shameful about it. it was a struggle, I resisted many times & fell to it many times. as a Christian I knew it was abnormal & there were many factors that can cause one to masturbate like not only at the attractiveness of women, but high libido, sociocultural & economic condition (normally from 24/25 one should be getting married), spiritual husband/wife, porn & erotic images, sex chat & immoral songs.
So you see the temptation of masturbation can come in diverse forms, & even if it is not masturbation as a reaction/response you see people committing other immoral acts like premarital sex (gf/sugar mommy/prostitute), homosexuality, rape, sex imaginations, defiling children (not cool), etc
My focus is on Masturbation & for those who think its right, it ain't because it isn't God's will.
So in my struggle, it was really that hard, I prayed over it as well but I saw myself doing it again, I knew I was disappointing my heavenly Father. to note I have high libido & attracted to ladies a lot, but am not a flirt offline & I respect women & their bodies, the mere sight or thought of lusting at anyone I vehemently rebuked but my flirting is more mainly online (its strange).
Now I heard about a message on masturbation (forgotten where) & it pointed out that amongst many sins lust is a spirit that comes & goes & that a scheduled deliverance won't be effective.
Now there came a night, while attempting to do the usual with a stubbornness in me to just do it even when I knew it was wrong & resisting a bit, I started hearing a gospel song emanating from me in that process, a song am familiar with, you know that type of gospel songs you sing/listen that revives your spirit, very heavenly & holy, yea the song started right there was reducing that sexual hunger, the immorality of the act was leaving me, I discontinued without even telling myself not to, it was supernatural, as if sin just gave way to something superior to it, the song felt like it invited God right there on my bed, I just couldn't continue with what I wanted to do because I felt freed, mind you it wasn't guilt or the knowledge I have the Holy Spirit in me or that I was abusing God's grace but what made me stop was this invitation of holiness through that song & the lust fled & my sexual urge settled down.
This morning as it had been a while back of that experience, recalling this the Holy Spirit reminded me that heavenly songs are weapons of spiritual warfare against lust & not many use it against problems like that.
Yes there are practical human ways to avoid masturbation but many are weak in the flesh to be constant with such prescriptions.
time & time again the temptation comes I either get myself busy or sing of song of praise to God with revelation & gratitude especially when alone.
I hope this solution helps my fellow brethren experiencing such.
Table the problem before God to help you overcome the immorality.
Remember Christ said the immoral won't enter the kingdom of God, so lets not be lack luster about it because we have Grace, because it can also affect your sexual health & generations to come. Via Nairaland https://ift.tt/2v3ULVL
