Freedom From Porn-Practical Steps

Freedom From Porn-Practical Steps

by | Jul 18, 2024 | Healing & Freedom

Recently, we received a mail from someone who opened up about her struggle with watching porn. She said, “I used to watch porn occasionally. I stopped it, but I kept failing. I got married, but I feel like watching it sometimes. I haven’t been honest about this with anyone, but I felt the need to do so now more than ever. Can you please pray for me?”

Are you facing a similar struggle?

Here’s our response, which will help you:

Declare and Meditate on the Truth

1. You have been given a spirit of self-control; you are not weak.

“for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7

2. You have been given the grace to live in purity.

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.” Titus 2:11–12

3. Surrender is key.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

4. Renew your mind.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2

5 . God is faithful.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

Practical steps to outwit porn

1. Identify the triggers
Self-evaluate to understand what triggers make you go back to the habit. Is it watching movies that have explicit scenes or romantic songs? Is it indulging in gross talk or boredom or sitting alone? Once you identify the triggers, uproot them and run away from the environment.

2. Build a support system
Whether through therapy, support groups, or trusted friends and family, having a supportive system is essential.

3. Be mindful
Be mindful of what you are watching, reading, and hearing. Establish habits to read and listen to content that will empower and encourage you.

4. Be Accountable
Use applications on your phone and computers to block sites and images. Every time you are tempted, have an accountability partner you can connect with, to pray with you and guide you.

5. Develop healthy habits
Eat healthy, exercise, go for walks, or learn a new skill. Keep your mind active and renewed.Do not be tricked anymore; now that you know, choose with understanding and choose differently.

Your end is not fear, shame, guilt or death, but it is an abundant life, full of joy in Jesus Christ. We are here for you, we care about you and we are cheering for you.

We have recently launched SoarGirls Academy- an online inspirational mentorship platform for young girls ( Age 13 to 30 years) in the area of self-worth and friendships.

We recommend you enroll in the course on Outwitting Porn in your life and be set free from this addiction.

Movie Recommendation: Sound of Freedom

Movie Recommendation: Sound of Freedom

by | Jun 26, 2024 | Movies

The movie we recommend today is a must-watch!
The name of the movie is Sound of Freedom. It is based on the gripping true story of a man’s mission to rescue children from the darkest corners of the world.

Directed by Alejandro Monteverde, this movie is inspired by true events and stars Jim Caviezel ( who played Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ” movie) as Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security agent who embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue children from sex trafficking.

This movie will move you to tears. It’s an ongoing reality, but very few are aware of it. The media doesn’t talk about it, but this movie will inspire you. Tim Ballard’s bravery is commendable.

Watch the trailer Here.

Watch The Trailer

The movie is available on Prime.

Watch for free here. (Available for free in selected countries only).

The Plot

The film follows Ballard’s journey as he leaves his government job to dedicate his life to saving children from the clutches of traffickers. The narrative is intense and often heart-wrenching, as it portrays the brutal reality of child exploitation.

Despite the heavy subject matter, the film manages to balance its darker moments with a sense of hope and the relentless pursuit of justice.

From time to time, we’ve been sharing movie recommendations. If you’ve missed the previous ones, check them out here.

Heaven Has Endless Supply & It’s Yours To Claim!

Heaven Has Endless Supply & It’s Yours To Claim!

by | Jun 20, 2024 | Christian Walk, Identity & Calling

Child of God, I got good news for you!

Your source of supply is heaven, where there are no limits.

When you look at things in the natural – like your bank balance or job, you will always find that the demand arising out of your needs is more and supply seems to be always limited. However, in the Kingdom that we belong to, the equation is completely opposite because here there is always an overflow.

How to tap into heaven’s unlimited supply

In heaven, there is never a lack. And the way you can tap into this supply is through faith.

When Jesus was surrounded by a hungry crowd of people who had nothing to eat, the disciples realised that the supply was very limited as they found one boy with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. But when this boy operated in faith and gave away his provision to Jesus, immediately, the people saw the unlimited supply of heaven manifest.

So you see, the supply was not limited; in fact, there were 12 baskets in excess, and the food stopped multiplying to avoid wastage.

Similarly, 2 Kings 4 speaks of a certain widow who cried out to Elisha due to lack of supply, as her creditor was coming to take her two sons to be his slaves. But Elisha gave her a demo of the unlimited supply.

When she obeyed the NOW Word of God coming through the prophet, her faith caused the unlimited supply to open. As many vessels as she and her sons could gather, they got filled with oil.

According to 2 Kings 4:6, the moment no jar was left, the oil stopped flowing. Yet, with what she received, she could pay off her debts and live on what was left.

Again, you see, the supply of heaven was unlimited. In fact the demand could not match up with it. Wow!

Luke 5:4-11 speaks of another incident when Peter had toiled all night to catch fish but got no success. The supply in the natural seemed limited. But Jesus asked Peter to launch into the deep and let his nets down. When Peter obeyed the Word, he caught a “great multitude” of fish. The unlimited supply of heaven manifested and had to stop only because the nets were breaking.

Be strengthened in your faith as you read this

Know that:
1. Heaven has unlimited supply for your needs.
2. This unlimited supply is exceedingly greater than your demands.
3. You can get access to this unlimited supply through faith in doing what God is asking you to do.

Heaven has Unlimited Supply, & it’s yours to take!

Feeling Hopeless? Here’s How To Overcome

Feeling Hopeless? Here’s How To Overcome

by | Jun 5, 2024 | Christian Walk, Healing & Freedom

Have you ever been under pressure? Or you have lost all hope and dwelling in your negative situation? You ask yourself when will I be out of this? Will there be a solution to the problem? Will I get a job? Will I be able to pass the test? Will I come out of this sickness?

Well, you are not the only one who faced these situations. Paul and his gang felt the same.

2 Corinthians 1:8-9 says, “For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death.”

Favour YT

So what was Paul feeling?

To despair means to feel a profound sense of hopelessness. When someone is in a state of despair, they may feel overwhelmed by negative emotions and believe that there is no solution to their problems. It’s a deep and often painful feeling of sadness and resignation.

An Invitation To Depend on God

We, too, may have felt the same way, but Paul continues to tell us the reason why he went through it. 2 Corinthians 1:9-10 says, “But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again.”

Wow! Paul says that the situation became so bad but it was only so Paul could rely on God, the One who raises the dead. He goes on to say after relying on God, God delivered them from a deadly peril and He continues to deliver them. Paul had the hope that God would deliver them again. He continues to depend on God even after that situation has passed.

Dear Sister, if you ever find yourself stuck in a problem and you’ve lost hope, this is an invitation to try God. Every time you feel you’ve lost, it is the end of the rope. You did your best, but nothing came out of it; God is calling you to try again, and now with Him in the situation.

Even after you are out of that situation, God is inviting you to continue to depend on Him.

Depending on God = Prayer

In the end, Paul shows us how to depend on God, and that is through prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:11 says, “..as you help us by your prayers.”

Depending on God is when you bring everything to God in prayer and you put your trust in what He says in His Word and not what your situation tells you.

I want to encourage you to hear this song today- “What a Friend we have in Jesus”, and sing it out loud.

Give all your problems and burdens to Jesus in prayer. Talk to Him, surrender your burden and depend on Him. He has the solution to everything you are facing today.

XOXO,
Alisha Joji

Girls, Here’s How to Avoid Regrets

Girls, Here’s How to Avoid Regrets

by | Jun 1, 2024 | Christian Walk, Identity & Calling

SNow it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons…And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.
Ruth 1:1-5
In the above passage, we see how Elimelech and his family left Bethlehem and went to live in the land of Moab, among a people who worshipped idols and not the God of Israel. This decision did not turn out well for this family. In fact, it caused blessings to die in their lives one after the other. First, the father himself died, following which the sons who married the women of Moab died.
Every time we go into locations, enter into relationships, or venture into things where God is absent, we will begin to see our blessings leaving us one after the other.

Don’t let famines in your life to make decisions

But one may say a famine caused the family to move. It seemed like they did it for the family’s survival. It may have seemed like the right thing to do, yet the Bible doesn’t mention that they heard God regarding it or that it was God’s will for them to move out of Bethlehem.

That opportunity in your life may seem like a blessing that has come your way, but did that come from the Lord? That relationship may seem like the perfect one, but did God approve of it? That business opportunity offered to you may seem exciting, but is God with you in it?

Girls, before you make any decision in life, make sure God is with you in it. If not, it is better to wait than to regret it later.

Don’t let the famine in your life make you make decisions. Maybe you see all your friends married or in relationships. Don’t let that loneliness or pressure make you get into relationships that God has not approved of.

Know God’s Perfect Will

Israel was God’s nation. Though He punished them for their sins, He never left them nor forsook them. That was God’s promise to Israel. If Elimelech knew the location of the grace on his life, he wouldn’t have moved out, regardless of any famine.

Ruth, Naomi’s daughter-in-law, however, was wise enough to see the grace of God in Naomi’s life despite the fact that they lost their husbands. This decision of hers to remain in God’s will eventually caused her to be rewarded and restored with greater blessings, to the point where she became the great grandmother of King David and in the lineage of King Jesus.

God’s perfect will for your life is the location of grace, blessings, and protection over you. Know God’s will for your life and choose to remain in it despite what famine you see so that God may raise you up in due time.

Wait on the Lord and allow Him to work in your life. When you honor God’s will and timing, He will honor you with more than you could have ever asked or imagined.

In every area of your life, whether it’s finding a partner, choosing your friends, pursuing a career, or entering a business, no matter how confident or qualified you may seem to be, seek to know the will of God regarding it. That way, you save yourself from regrets.

If this post has blessed you, write back to us. We love to hear from you.
