Do you want to look at porn? 

The pull of pornography is devilishly strong. Whatever your reason is for seeking it out, let us offer you 5 reasons to NOT look this time. 

Don’t let the cycle continue to dull your senses in this life. 

You are created and meant for living fully alive, fully loved and loving, and fully whole. 

We hope this episode spurs you towards conviction without condemnation. There is no shame here, only encouragement for better understanding. 

Don’t waste any more time feeling bad about your pornography use. 

Rather, let the conviction become an action point to end your addiction. 

Regeneration Ministries is here to help you towards becoming whole.

Highlights:

Pornography provides you with “sex” on demand and your brain doesn’t know what to do with it. Your brain isn’t wired for that.

What happens over time as you use pornography is that the neuron-receptors in your brain begin to shut down, they begin to atrophy.

That on demand sexual experience gives you what you want, how you want, when you want it. What relationship in life is like that? None.

Homework:

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I ask that you would free me from the grip of pornography. Lord, I want my brain to be healthy and free.  I want to be self giving not selfish. I want to see people not objects.  I want to heal where I have wounds from my past. I don’t want them to fester. Lord, I don’t want to be immature. I want to grow up in full stature to be a full, loving Christ-like adult. Lord would you help me on this path. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Extras:

You have to want what you want but you have to want where your wants lead…

G.K. Chesterton: “Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is looking for God.”

Drew Boa: “Porn is a pacifier.”
