M A S T U R B A T I O N ?
Masturbation is a private and personal act of manipulating one’s body for sexual pleasure (aka touching yourself). It is forbidden by every genuine child of God, because our body is the temple of God and we cannot manipulate it.
Some Christians get confuse if what they do privately sometimes is actually masturbation, to clarify that, anything you do personally and privately to your body to derive sexual pleasure is masturbation. It may be pressing one’s private parts, using tools, toils or watching nuke picture, sexual movies or reading romantic novel till one experiences orgasm. all these are activities of masturbation. Either before marriage or after marriage, the sin of masturbation remains the same.
Masturbation actually means having sex with demon; since it is for sexual pleasure and it usually involves two people; in masturbation, the other person is invisible and that is demon.
How To Be Free
SURRENDER ALL
The only solution to the sin and bondage of masturbation is to surrender all your life to Jesus Christ. Do not isolate sin of masturbation, but all sins you must surrender, confess and forsake. If you give God 90% of your life, the devil will have access to the 10% and pollute the 90% you give to God. Until you surrender all, every sin and unrighteousness in your life, you will keep rising and falling.
DISCONNECT
Masturbation, like every other sin, is linked to a sinful activities or motive. Immoral movies, music, magazine, motive, novels, etc. all these generate immoral action of masturbation. You must immediately destroy such materials and disconnect your mind from such immoral thoughts and stuffs. You must also disconnect your mind from memory of sinful past.
SANCTIFY YOUR HEART WITH GOD’S WORD
The Word of God purifies, and so you must read and mediate your Bible every morning and evening, at least 2 chapters a day. When you fill your heart with God’s word, sinful nature will naturally die.
PRAY
Daily ask for God’s help, grace and strength. Pray and plead the Blood of Jesus on your heart daily as you grow stronger in the Lord.
RESIST.
Here is the secret: Behind every sin is a demon, and these demons are the forces behind the pressure of sin on people’s heart. Now when the pressure of a particular sin comes, that is the demon’s pressure on your soul, the pressure will come on you as if you must just do it again, as if you can’t survive without doing it. These demons will bring the pressure of sin so strong, but for few minutes God allow them, if you resist the devil in those few minutes and refuse to give in, you will see the pressure faking away.
So when next the pressure of sin comes so high on you, just relax and resist the demon in the name of Jesus Christ, and in few minutes, the demon will flee. Now, you need to understand this that the more you resist the devil and refuse to bow to that sin, the more you become stronger the resist the next temptation. Praise the Lord! Amen
WATCH
When you resist the devil and he flees, he will still come back again, that is the reason we must be watchful always. You can resist the devil and he flees from you for months or even years, then he will be waiting for your careless moment, when you are not watchful, when you are careless with old thoughts, pictures, music, movies, or not reading your Bible. That is the reason many keep falling back to their vomits after many months or years of victory.
You must be watchful always. There is no graduation of watchfulness in Christian race, until we get to heaven we must keep on being watchful, “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12. The devil can come back to tempt you anytime, so you must be watchful and keep your eyes, ears, mind, thought under control of Holy Spirit.
“ But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:27
