Please Pray for a Brother

No votes yet

I'm 26 years and old and disgusted with my spiritual life. I was raised in the church, have a strong faith in God and his power to work miracles in my life. I have seen him do miraculous things. However, I am confused about why I have yet to be delivered from fornication and addiction to pornography. I have asked God countless times to forgive me of my sins and deliver me and he has, yet I turn around and do it again. I need help and I need your prayers. I don't want an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease to ruin my life before God delivers me. Please pray my strength!

To BROTHEROFFAITH, Once you are a child of God you are always a child of God. Do not keep looking over your shoulder wondering how far you can push your Limits before God will say no more...That is why he gave us freedom of choice so we can decide on which side of the line we wish to live. You are the only one that can answer that question Brother. I also as a young man struggled with the flesh, it is a difficult battle but not impossible. Nothing is impossible with the Lord. Stop looking over your shoulder he is not there he is inside you let him come fore. Remember that greatest moment you ever had with hm that feeling of beautiful warm real Love. That feeling that you wished would never stop or subside. Now that is what you want in a relationship with a woman. Find that first without the sex.....then after you are sure and God has showed you it is right then marry her.....You will not believe how beautiful it is Brother it makes that old sex stuff seem like licking a dirty ashtray. Sorry to any one that this may offend. There is a reason for the old saying sex washes off love doesn't and the reason is Love true love lasts forever as it does with the Lord. However sex is as dirt and is meant to be washed off. Don't get me wrong sex with the right person is a beautiful thing but just sex for the sake of sex is no different then playing with yourself. Its empty and unfulfilling. Brother don't ask the Lord when will he give up on you, ask yourself when will you stop giving up on him? You are stronger then you give yourself credit, the more you say no to the enemy the easier it becomes and the more you walk on the Lords path and act his ways the more you will conquer that which may lead you astray. Just love ...Watch "Imagine me" by Kirk Franklin and really think about it..You are loved.

My name is Vusi Motau in South Africa

There is an upcoming event in one of our Province which I would like to invite Kirk Franklin to perform.

you gotta want deliverance bad enough to get it and let God know you really aren't going anywhere until you get it. I've been born in the church and a "Christian" since 8. But after choir directing and doing every thing in the church since 13 I only really got saved a week ago at the age of 24 because I truly understood that I was not getting Jesus in bulk because everyone else was and he didn't die for a mass of people but he died for every INDIVIDUAL. And me accepting that he did that would really "make his day". That was enough to influence me to be passionate enough to want to please him so that I get to the stage where my struggles are still present but they do not consumed me because I am continuously consumed by his presence. That's what it means when you sing I will bless the lord at all times and his praises shall continuously be on my mouth. In everything you do you will be praising him and when you do that and meditate on the things he directed us to meditate on, frankly you won't have enough time to be caught up in the old you and your old ways. Don't ask him to take them away but ask him to fill you with his holy ghost that they won't be an obstacle but a testimony. I pray that helps.

Their must truly be a GREAT ministry in you. I say this because the devil only attacks in this manner if you are a threat to him. He uses tricks like the ones you are currently going thru to keep your mind off of God, Prayer and Praise so that the gift in you will not take root and grow.

There must be something so POWERFUL in your ministry that it will bring others to God. My suggestion to you is to begin to focus on developing the ministry in you that OTHERS REALLY NEED. Use the STRENGTH that God has already given you to start working on your gift (ministry).

And If I were you...I'd start praising God like their was no tomorrow...so much so that folks around you will probably think you're crazy (I call it crazy praise). In doing this...the devil will flee because you are taking an ACTIVE stand for God.

The spirit that you feed the most is the one that will have the greatest strenghth. I hope this is helpful and all of you are in my prayers. Stay Encouraged!

Brotheroffaith,
I will definantly keep you in my prayers. I want to give you some encouragement. No matter what, turn to God. Read your bible daily and become more aware of want God can do. God uses people like you. He used a tax collector and even a man who killed christains for fun. And more ocviously hes definantly used Kirk Franklin. He has struggled with a porn addiction since he was just 9 years old. Please don't give up! Listen to KF songs and get some encouragement, and be sure to pray!!!

Dear Brotheroffaith,
We all struggle with the flesh every day and it is hard for men especially with images of pornography everywhere even in womens magazines it is ok to show women in their underwear thus the temptation is in your face 24/7. I wonder Brother do you go into deep repentance after you have sinned in this way, the tone of your letter indicates you are a little bit mad at God for not delivering you. The Lord has delivered you through His Son Jesus Christ it is you who keeps returning to your sin remember we have free will, have you gone to your Pastor for council? Please do and get in to The Word every spare minute you have, remember God grants us love and mercy but He is a Holy & Righteous God and will judge us all one day. Please dont think I am Holier than thou I am just telling you the Truth in Love , through Jesus Christ. I will pray for you, when you are tempted please get on your knees with a humble heart and ask Him to help you. I will not pray for your strength Brother but God's strength, it is when we try to do things in our own strength that we fail just surrrender to the Lord in repentance and humility. All your brothers and sisters love you and want to see you free in Jesus Mighty Name.
