What to do about Porn


Porn-it's everywhere. It's on the news, on the web, in the stores.


As a woman I can mistakenly think that does not affect me so much; however that is wrong. We are one in the Body of Christ, so what affects one affects all. We are to pray for one another and encourage one another. If you are okay in this matter, know that many other believers are struggling and need our prayers for a breakthrough. Here are two scriptures you can pray for those who are addicted or being tempted:


Ephesians 6:11-17 -get prepared for spiritual warfare:

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, wth the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. The helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, with is the word of God.

  • The Belt of Truth.

  • The Breastplate of Righteousness.

  • The Gospel of Peace.

  • The Shield of Faith.

  • The Helmet of Salvation.

  • The Sword of the Spirit. -(the other armor is defensive/protection; this one is offensive weapon to fight back-God's Word)

  • Prayer. (having done all Stand firm and pray the scriptures; pray in Jesus Name and every knee must bow (Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:10-11)

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 -we are not powerless:

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.


2 Corinthians 10:13 -there is a way of escape:

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.


Final thoughts:

  • While porn may not easily entice me, it does make me angry and that affects me. To that end, this blog is a proactive approach to my anger. I will not keep silent when evil is hurting the Body of Believers. I want those who struggle with this to know other believers are praying for them and for their families.

  • Your struggle or temptation may be something else, but you can still apply the above scriptures and ask an accountability partner to pray for you. "Whom the Lord sets free is free indeed!"
