Moving Forward

No turning back


It's been more than 130 days
Every now and then you surface again
At times I'm weak - in a haze
But I'm breaking the curse of porn on men

God said, 'You shall not commit adultery'
I believe it includes fornication and masturbation
For He also said
If you look at a woman to lust for her,
Then you have already committed adultery with her in your heart

Yet so many people live to follow their physical desires
It begs the question, why is God's standard so high?
What's wrong with a one-night stand?
Or a sexual movie every other day?
Or nude pictures?

But you can't say that our bodies
Were made for sexual immorality
They were made for the Lord
And the Lord cares about our bodies

My belief is that
If we are to live the Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life
Then we must be holy
Just as our Father is holy
Otherwise He will not fill us
Because He can't

Letting our sinful nature control our mind
Leads to death
But letting the Spirit control our mind
Leads to life and peace

Here I am
Choosing life, not death
Believing that He will give life to my mortal body
By His Spirit who lives within me
Though temptations may come
I choose not to sin
I'll be delivered
From evil

I'm not turning back
