We think that we can pull back and get free rather than incur the wrath of God . But the over whelming evidence is that the long lasting repercussions will be with us for a long time anyway. Even after a heartfelt repentance. Visual imagery is with me still from the days of my youth. Did Christ forgive me and set me free? The Bible says that any man that Christ sets free is free indeed. So why do I still readily imagine the pages of things I viewed in my teen years? Why do my buddies that have had affairs still deal with guilt watching the destruction that they caused in peoples lives? This is a stain that will be with me for some time unless I focus on it and pray regularly to Christ for its removal. Christ once freed a demon from a man. The disciples were amazed because they had tried to free this man without success. Christ responded that some demons are harder than others. Some can not just be commanded out. He left the disciples with some training on what to do in those cases. I would say that my readers have already experienced the short term rewards of porn use. Then, when they tried to slow it down, they were victims of the usual triggers that brought them right back into it. Some have had a brief affair. Cheating an oath to gain the satisfaction of an un-met need left us dry. I too have experienced this. Other types of addictions are similar in this nature. They are shackles of bondage. And God has urged me to write on a subject that few men would explore with a buddy. Guys just do not seek help or confess this. This is the kind of thing that we privately consumed. And now, I must obey my calling and give testimony from the wisdom imparted to me. My wish is to obey God and extend a word of caution to men who may be affected similarly. I want to correctly convey God's position on this. Indeed the Bible is clear on this that my words are going to be judged and me according to my words.
