TLDRLe discours commence par l'orateur partageant une expérience personnelle de découverte de magazines pornographiques à un jeune âge et évoque les sentiments complexes de tentation et de culpabilité qui en découlent. Il souligne que la consommation de pornographie n'est pas une problématique propre aux hommes, mais également croissante chez les femmes, et touche même les chrétiens. Le discours met en avant l’idée que la pureté est possible et qu'il est dans la volonté de Dieu que les gens parviennent à se libérer de cette dépendance. En utilisant des métaphores bibliques, l'orateur explique que la tentation fonctionne comme un appât et que céder conduit à la destruction spirituelle. Les solutions proposées incluent la confession de ses luttes pour recevoir le pardon divin et l'aide humaine, ainsi que la fuite active de la tentation plutôt que son affrontement. En adoptant ces pratiques, l’orateur met en avant le processus de guérison qui résout les blessures spirituelles. Le discours se termine par une prière pour demander la force divine dans cette lutte et pour inciter les auditeurs à prendre des mesures pratiques pour vivre dans la pureté.

    La tentation a commencé pour l'orateur lorsqu'il était en septième année, illustrée par sa première expérience de babysitting où il a découvert une pile de magazines Playboy chez ses voisins. Cette découverte a provoqué une excitation sexuelle, suivie de sentiments de culpabilité et de honte. Il souligne que même les chrétiens sont confrontés à ce problème croissant de la pornographie, touchant de plus en plus de femmes et de jeunes adultes.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    L'orateur explique comment nos désirs peuvent nous entraîner vers le péché, en utilisant l'exemple de la tentation comme un appât de pêche. Une fois que le désir mène au péché, cela conduit à la mort spirituelle. L'ennemi spirituel utilise nos désirs pour nous attirer et nous détruire. Il raconte comment beaucoup, confrontés à des expériences sexuelles traumatiques ou une exposition précoce à la pornographie, sont amenés à lutter contre des pensées lubriques.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Le cycle de la tentation puis de la chute dans la pornographie est souligné, où l'on promet d'arrêter mais finit par rechuter. L'idée erronée que le mariage résoudra ces problèmes est réfutée. L'orateur insiste sur le fait qu'il ne s'agit pas simplement d'un problème de désir, mais d'une blessure spirituelle non guérie qui nécessite une confession et un soutien communautaire pour espérer une guérison.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    La confession, tant à Dieu qu'aux autres, est essentielle pour la guérison spirituelle. Ce n'est pas simplement la pornographie mais la blessure spirituelle qui doit être traitée. En se débarrassant des tentations dans le présent, on se préserve de céder à la tentation dans l'avenir. La nécessité d'une stratégie incluant la restriction d'accès et le support communautaire est soulignée pour éviter la tentation continue.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    L'orateur partage son expérience personnelle avec la tentation pornographique à l'époque de l'apparition du web. Plutôt que de céder, il a implanté des mesures pour empêcher toute future tentation, comme restreindre l'accès et s'entourer de personnes de confiance. Il souligne l'importance d'éliminer la tentation aujourd'hui pour éviter les luttes futures.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    Comprendre les effets physiques, émotionnels et spirituels de la pornographie aide à réaliser l'importance d'un processus de guérison. À mesure qu'on se détoxifie, il y a des pertes de motivation et des fluctuations émotionnelles, mais à terme, le regain de stabilité et de confiance spirituelle est notable. Il est crucial de ne pas cacher mais de confesser le problème pour trouver la guérison.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:37:31

    L'encouragement à la confession et à chercher de l'aide est réitéré. L'orateur partage son expérience de confession de tentations avec sa femme et ses amis proches pour surmonter la tentation. Le message est de ne pas cacher son problème mais de chercher de l'aide et de l'ouverture, tant pour les confessants que pour ceux qui reçoivent la confession, pour guérir des blessures spirituelles.

  • 00:00:01
    well the temptation started for me
  • 00:00:03
    in the seventh grade and just to give
  • 00:00:06
    you context in case you forget
  • 00:00:08
    what a seventh grader looks like this
  • 00:00:10
    was me in the seventh grade
  • 00:00:12
    uh very proud that i was on the all-star
  • 00:00:14
    team but just a little kid
  • 00:00:16
    asked to babysit for a neighbor and it
  • 00:00:20
    was my first
  • 00:00:21
    official babysitting job and i was so
  • 00:00:23
    excited to take care of the kids
  • 00:00:25
    i was going to be a great babysitter and
  • 00:00:28
    was excited beyond measure but had no
  • 00:00:30
    idea how excited i would be when i
  • 00:00:33
    noticed
  • 00:00:34
    that my neighbors had a giant stack
  • 00:00:37
    of playboy magazines we're not talking
  • 00:00:41
    about like just
  • 00:00:42
    12 january february march april but like
  • 00:00:45
    two years
  • 00:00:46
    of 12 months of playboy magazine sitting
  • 00:00:50
    right out on the coffee table in plain
  • 00:00:53
    view
  • 00:00:54
    and i know you look at me as a man of
  • 00:00:57
    god
  • 00:00:58
    but i need to tell you that long before
  • 00:01:00
    i was a pastor i used to just be a boy
  • 00:01:04
    and i remember the feeling
  • 00:01:07
    and the rush of sexual excitement
  • 00:01:10
    because just a few feet away from me
  • 00:01:11
    were pages and pages
  • 00:01:13
    of women without shirts or bras if i can
  • 00:01:16
    say that
  • 00:01:17
    and that was the only time i had ever
  • 00:01:19
    had access to it with the exception of
  • 00:01:21
    in the fifth grade when my friend found
  • 00:01:22
    it
  • 00:01:23
    or national geographic which didn't
  • 00:01:24
    really count or barbie dolls that i
  • 00:01:26
    would occasionally strip down but we
  • 00:01:27
    don't want to talk about that because
  • 00:01:28
    that's really gross and i'm sorry i even
  • 00:01:30
    said that out loud
  • 00:01:30
    but on the spot and in that moment
  • 00:01:35
    i just changed my babysitting strategy
  • 00:01:37
    which says kids you're going to be going
  • 00:01:39
    to bed a little earlier tonight
  • 00:01:41
    and i spent the next two or three hours
  • 00:01:44
    just flipping
  • 00:01:45
    page by page through the whole stack and
  • 00:01:47
    what i felt
  • 00:01:49
    uh was confusing because i'll be honest
  • 00:01:52
    i mean there was like this buzz and this
  • 00:01:54
    hit and this thrill and kind of waves of
  • 00:01:56
    confusing
  • 00:01:57
    sexual energy to a little boy followed
  • 00:02:00
    by
  • 00:02:01
    deep guilt and shame
  • 00:02:04
    and remorse and embarrassment i felt
  • 00:02:07
    dirty
  • 00:02:08
    and just hated that i did that
  • 00:02:12
    if you can relate to what i just said
  • 00:02:15
    you're not alone even if you're a
  • 00:02:18
    christian
  • 00:02:18
    you're not alone in fact the studies
  • 00:02:21
    today
  • 00:02:22
    show that this is a growing problem
  • 00:02:25
    by the minute and not just like when i
  • 00:02:28
    was growing up i thought it was a man
  • 00:02:30
    issue and it is a man issue but
  • 00:02:32
    it's also increasingly becoming an issue
  • 00:02:34
    for females as well
  • 00:02:36
    and not just men and not just women but
  • 00:02:39
    christian
  • 00:02:40
    men and christian women in fact
  • 00:02:43
    one study shows that about 64 percent of
  • 00:02:46
    christian men
  • 00:02:47
    and about 15 percent of christian women
  • 00:02:50
    admit to viewing porn
  • 00:02:52
    monthly maybe not daily but at least
  • 00:02:54
    once a month
  • 00:02:56
    how many of you are between 18 and 30
  • 00:02:59
    years of age you could just raise up
  • 00:03:00
    your hands
  • 00:03:01
    for those of you that are and if you're
  • 00:03:03
    a man
  • 00:03:04
    the odds of looking go way way up 79
  • 00:03:09
    of men between 18 and 30 years of age
  • 00:03:13
    admit to viewing porn monthly when i was
  • 00:03:16
    a kid
  • 00:03:17
    you had to find a stack of magazines the
  • 00:03:20
    rules have changed
  • 00:03:21
    because now you got porn in your pocket
  • 00:03:25
    meaning anywhere anytime all day
  • 00:03:28
    long the majority of the world is just a
  • 00:03:31
    click or two
  • 00:03:32
    away from anything they ever want to see
  • 00:03:35
    or everything they should never ever see
  • 00:03:37
    and it raises the question is purity
  • 00:03:42
    even possible and i want to talk to you
  • 00:03:45
    today and tell you
  • 00:03:46
    not only is it possible but it is god's
  • 00:03:50
    will
  • 00:03:50
    and the title for today's message is how
  • 00:03:53
    to quit porn would you pray with me
  • 00:03:56
    today father we ask that by
  • 00:03:59
    the power of your spirit and the truth
  • 00:04:01
    of your word you would do
  • 00:04:02
    god what only you can do
  • 00:04:06
    purify our hearts and our minds
  • 00:04:10
    that we could love you and love others
  • 00:04:13
    as you love us god purify us we pray in
  • 00:04:17
    jesus name
  • 00:04:18
    and everybody said amen amen are you
  • 00:04:21
    ready for the word today
  • 00:04:23
    we're going to start today in the new
  • 00:04:25
    testament in the book of
  • 00:04:26
    james and i want to show you in james
  • 00:04:29
    chapter 1
  • 00:04:30
    verses 13 through 15 some interesting
  • 00:04:33
    verses james told us this whenever we're
  • 00:04:35
    tempted
  • 00:04:36
    no one should say god is tempting me in
  • 00:04:38
    other words like god didn't put that
  • 00:04:39
    stack of playboys in front of me
  • 00:04:41
    if you agree say amen do you agree amen
  • 00:04:44
    god is not
  • 00:04:44
    tempting us because god cannot be
  • 00:04:47
    tempted by
  • 00:04:48
    evil nor does he tempt anyone
  • 00:04:52
    but each person is tempted
  • 00:04:55
    when they are dragged away
  • 00:04:58
    by their own evil desire
  • 00:05:02
    and enticed i was dragged away
  • 00:05:05
    by a very evil desire in me and i was
  • 00:05:08
    enticed in fact the word in the greek
  • 00:05:11
    that's translated as
  • 00:05:12
    enticed is a fishing term that means to
  • 00:05:16
    lure by using bait
  • 00:05:20
    and that's what our spiritual enemy does
  • 00:05:22
    our enemy knows where we're weak and
  • 00:05:24
    where we're
  • 00:05:24
    vulnerable and we'll put some kind of
  • 00:05:26
    temptation some kind of
  • 00:05:28
    trap some kind of bait in front of us
  • 00:05:30
    scripture goes on to say
  • 00:05:32
    then after that desire has conceived
  • 00:05:35
    it gives birth to sin and that's what
  • 00:05:37
    happened to me i want to look
  • 00:05:40
    there's a temptation i looked i sinned
  • 00:05:43
    and sin when it is full grown
  • 00:05:47
    gives birth to death to death
  • 00:05:52
    to death sin when
  • 00:05:55
    full-blown kills and destroys
  • 00:05:58
    and that's what our spiritual enemy
  • 00:05:59
    wants to do he wants to bait us
  • 00:06:02
    if you've ever been fishing you might
  • 00:06:03
    have used a worm or you might have used
  • 00:06:05
    allure or whatever
  • 00:06:06
    and the little fish he looks on he goes
  • 00:06:07
    that looks good
  • 00:06:11
    worm food spinny thing
  • 00:06:14
    and little fishy swims over to it you
  • 00:06:16
    know i'm sorry
  • 00:06:17
    i won't do that in the next service but
  • 00:06:19
    the fish he swims over to it
  • 00:06:21
    and takes it and the bait then
  • 00:06:24
    captures the fish and ends up in death
  • 00:06:27
    and this is what your spiritual enemy
  • 00:06:28
    does
  • 00:06:29
    it gives you a temptation a little bit
  • 00:06:31
    of bait
  • 00:06:32
    and before you take the bait the devil
  • 00:06:34
    tells you it's no big deal
  • 00:06:37
    it's just a little spinny thing it's
  • 00:06:40
    it's everybody does it
  • 00:06:42
    go ahead it'll be fun you'll love it
  • 00:06:45
    and after you take the bait
  • 00:06:48
    your enemy tells you you're horrible
  • 00:06:50
    you're disgusting
  • 00:06:52
    you can't be a christian god doesn't
  • 00:06:54
    love you at all
  • 00:06:56
    and the devil who hates you
  • 00:06:59
    and wants to use the wrong desires in
  • 00:07:02
    you
  • 00:07:03
    to lure you and bait you so that
  • 00:07:06
    eventually
  • 00:07:07
    he can kill and destroy you
  • 00:07:11
    he wants you hooked
  • 00:07:15
    how do you get hooked how do you get
  • 00:07:18
    hooked
  • 00:07:19
    um i'm going to tell you how some of you
  • 00:07:21
    have gotten
  • 00:07:22
    hooked or how some of you stepped into a
  • 00:07:25
    world of struggle
  • 00:07:26
    against lustful thoughts and the story
  • 00:07:30
    i'm going to tell you is a common story
  • 00:07:32
    and the details may not be exactly yours
  • 00:07:35
    but i'm guessing that if you have any
  • 00:07:37
    kind of battle
  • 00:07:38
    with lustful thoughts that there's some
  • 00:07:41
    version of this story
  • 00:07:43
    that is actually your story because most
  • 00:07:45
    stories go
  • 00:07:46
    something like this unfortunately at
  • 00:07:50
    some point
  • 00:07:50
    like me in the fifth grade then again in
  • 00:07:52
    the seventh grade you had
  • 00:07:54
    some type of traumatic sexual experience
  • 00:07:57
    maybe like me you were exposed to
  • 00:07:59
    pornography
  • 00:08:00
    tragically and heartbreakingly
  • 00:08:04
    many of you were molested at the hands
  • 00:08:07
    of someone that you trusted or someone
  • 00:08:08
    who abused you maybe for you it was
  • 00:08:12
    on a date and you i liked the person and
  • 00:08:14
    you were in the car and you were kissing
  • 00:08:16
    and you're all alone
  • 00:08:17
    and then you went and it was whatever
  • 00:08:20
    and you sorry you ended up doing
  • 00:08:22
    something that you
  • 00:08:24
    shouldn't have been doing didn't plan to
  • 00:08:26
    you got hooked
  • 00:08:28
    and at that moment you sustained
  • 00:08:31
    an injury it was a mental
  • 00:08:34
    injury that distorted the purity of
  • 00:08:37
    god's gift of lovemaking
  • 00:08:40
    it was an emotional injury because you
  • 00:08:42
    weren't married
  • 00:08:43
    and weren't ready to experience the
  • 00:08:45
    purity
  • 00:08:47
    of lovemaking that is available and it
  • 00:08:50
    was a spiritual
  • 00:08:51
    injury that likely caused shame
  • 00:08:54
    and separated you from god and you are
  • 00:08:57
    confused because it's really confusing
  • 00:08:59
    because
  • 00:09:00
    sometimes you can get caught up in porn
  • 00:09:02
    or masturbation or fooling around or
  • 00:09:04
    whatever it is
  • 00:09:05
    and you simultaneously can have this
  • 00:09:07
    like dopamine rush like you feel
  • 00:09:08
    good and this is fun i like this and
  • 00:09:11
    there's enjoyment and there's pleasure
  • 00:09:13
    and there's shame and there's guilt
  • 00:09:15
    and there's self-disgust and so if
  • 00:09:18
    that's your story like it was my story
  • 00:09:21
    you feel a little bit embarrassed
  • 00:09:22
    and you don't want to talk about it and
  • 00:09:25
    so you either
  • 00:09:26
    hide it which is a problem because sin
  • 00:09:29
    grows best in the dark or you justify it
  • 00:09:33
    and you say well at least i'm not i
  • 00:09:35
    could be and they are and i'm not and
  • 00:09:36
    this isn't that bad and so
  • 00:09:38
    you know god understands and you know
  • 00:09:39
    we're in love anyway or
  • 00:09:41
    it's not that big of a deal or i'm just
  • 00:09:42
    looking and i'm not doing whatever she's
  • 00:09:44
    not meeting my needs or he's not doing
  • 00:09:45
    whatever and you justify it and so
  • 00:09:47
    you either hide it or you justify it or
  • 00:09:49
    both
  • 00:09:50
    then at some point many of you your
  • 00:09:51
    story goes like this you you prayed
  • 00:09:54
    god take the desire away god i don't
  • 00:09:56
    want to do that again god i don't want
  • 00:09:57
    to look again god i don't want to go
  • 00:09:58
    there again
  • 00:09:59
    and you ask god to take the desire away
  • 00:10:01
    but the desire doesn't go away and so at
  • 00:10:04
    some point you promise i'm gonna
  • 00:10:06
    stop this is my last time and i'm not
  • 00:10:08
    gonna do it again or we're not gonna do
  • 00:10:10
    it again and for many of you
  • 00:10:11
    you actually do stop for a little while
  • 00:10:16
    and you have short periods of sexual
  • 00:10:20
    sobriety
  • 00:10:21
    until you stumble once
  • 00:10:24
    and when you stumble once that often
  • 00:10:27
    triggers a sexual binge
  • 00:10:29
    because well i just did it once i might
  • 00:10:30
    as well whatever and then i was trying
  • 00:10:31
    to start over
  • 00:10:32
    again and so you hate it but you can't
  • 00:10:36
    seem to overcome it
  • 00:10:37
    and then you hope one day when i get
  • 00:10:41
    married
  • 00:10:42
    all my problems are going to be solved
  • 00:10:44
    because you know we can be together
  • 00:10:46
    twice a day every day and three times on
  • 00:10:48
    sunday when we get married
  • 00:10:50
    that's another sermon and that's not
  • 00:10:52
    true but many of you think that
  • 00:10:54
    and then you do get married and it
  • 00:10:56
    doesn't
  • 00:10:57
    go away and the reason it doesn't go
  • 00:11:01
    away
  • 00:11:02
    is because you don't just have a lust
  • 00:11:04
    problem
  • 00:11:06
    you're dealing with a spiritual injury
  • 00:11:09
    that hasn't healed
  • 00:11:13
    and somewhere in there very likely
  • 00:11:17
    is some part of your story
  • 00:11:20
    you might say you know what's the big
  • 00:11:22
    deal like why
  • 00:11:23
    why get upset about like a little bit of
  • 00:11:25
    porn not hurting anybody
  • 00:11:27
    i could be doing so much worse um was a
  • 00:11:30
    little bit of lust what's the big deal
  • 00:11:31
    and what i want to say is that whenever
  • 00:11:33
    your lusts are full grown james said
  • 00:11:35
    it gives way to death and james isn't
  • 00:11:38
    the only one
  • 00:11:39
    who issued these stern warnings in fact
  • 00:11:42
    solomon
  • 00:11:42
    talked to his sons in the book of
  • 00:11:45
    proverbs and he said this in proverbs
  • 00:11:47
    chapter 5 verses 3 through 5
  • 00:11:49
    listen to the severity of these
  • 00:11:52
    metaphors he said for the lips of an
  • 00:11:54
    immoral women
  • 00:11:56
    they're they're sweet as honey
  • 00:12:01
    and smoother than oils move baby smooth
  • 00:12:03
    but in the end
  • 00:12:05
    she is as bitter as poison and as
  • 00:12:10
    dangerous as a double-edged sword
  • 00:12:13
    where does she lead you where does
  • 00:12:15
    sexual sin lead you
  • 00:12:17
    her feet go down to death
  • 00:12:21
    her steps lead straight to the grave
  • 00:12:24
    these are strong metaphors right sexual
  • 00:12:27
    sin
  • 00:12:28
    it looks sweet and smooth but it's
  • 00:12:30
    bitter and sharp
  • 00:12:31
    someone said it thrills and then it
  • 00:12:35
    kills
  • 00:12:36
    it fascinates and then it assassinates
  • 00:12:40
    and it takes you to death
  • 00:12:43
    what does porn do what does lust do it
  • 00:12:46
    kills you
  • 00:12:47
    porn very specifically kills you how it
  • 00:12:50
    kills you physically
  • 00:12:51
    it doesn't help your sex drive it hurts
  • 00:12:53
    it it brings stress into your body
  • 00:12:56
    it kills you emotionally because you
  • 00:12:58
    can't relate
  • 00:12:59
    and love others in a way that god
  • 00:13:01
    intended because you objectify
  • 00:13:03
    others and you start to see people
  • 00:13:05
    through eyes of sex instead of through
  • 00:13:07
    eyes of love
  • 00:13:09
    it kills you mentally because you enter
  • 00:13:11
    into a mental
  • 00:13:12
    battle in your brain that that is very
  • 00:13:15
    difficult to overcome
  • 00:13:16
    and it kills you spiritually robbing you
  • 00:13:19
    of of confidence
  • 00:13:20
    and joy and you find yourself when you
  • 00:13:23
    slip into a world of lust
  • 00:13:25
    battling with anxiety and you're
  • 00:13:27
    irritable and you feel
  • 00:13:28
    depressed and you're moody and there's a
  • 00:13:31
    loss of motivation and there's a loss of
  • 00:13:33
    sex drive
  • 00:13:34
    yes there's a loss of sex drive people
  • 00:13:36
    think that's going to increase your sex
  • 00:13:37
    drive
  • 00:13:38
    it kills your sex drive because real
  • 00:13:40
    life is real
  • 00:13:41
    and that's not real and what you're
  • 00:13:42
    watching is not real and eventually
  • 00:13:44
    especially if you're a christian
  • 00:13:46
    and you're fighting it you become
  • 00:13:47
    exhausted trying to cover your tracks
  • 00:13:51
    and manage the shame and there's always
  • 00:13:54
    this fear
  • 00:13:55
    of when is he going to find out when is
  • 00:13:57
    she going to find out when am i going to
  • 00:13:59
    get caught
  • 00:13:59
    when are they going to know i'm dirty
  • 00:14:02
    and you lose spiritual
  • 00:14:03
    confidence and you lose intimacy with
  • 00:14:05
    god and many describe it as a
  • 00:14:08
    non-stop weight and a heaviness
  • 00:14:12
    that just never goes away you're
  • 00:14:14
    dragging this this
  • 00:14:16
    lust problem this this porn problem and
  • 00:14:19
    there's
  • 00:14:19
    always somewhere in your mind the wonder
  • 00:14:23
    the fear the anxiety what happens if and
  • 00:14:25
    why can't i and why
  • 00:14:26
    am i not and where is god in all this
  • 00:14:29
    and you want to stop
  • 00:14:31
    but you can't why
  • 00:14:35
    the answer is because you have an injury
  • 00:14:39
    that hasn't healed you have an injury
  • 00:14:42
    you're stuck in the lust
  • 00:14:46
    loop and i want to show you how the loop
  • 00:14:49
    kills you and how to break
  • 00:14:52
    the loop here's what tends to happen and
  • 00:14:55
    you would know this if you've ever been
  • 00:14:56
    stuck in it
  • 00:14:57
    the first thing is you you lust and you
  • 00:15:00
    look and it gives you that that injury
  • 00:15:02
    suddenly
  • 00:15:03
    the gift of love making the purity of
  • 00:15:05
    how god intended it
  • 00:15:06
    uh is distorted and disrupted in your
  • 00:15:09
    life
  • 00:15:10
    but when you look and lust you find
  • 00:15:11
    yourself excited and you get this
  • 00:15:13
    dopamine hit
  • 00:15:14
    you're like oh that was fine oh that was
  • 00:15:16
    thrilled and oh that felt good oh
  • 00:15:18
    i like it in the moment and after the
  • 00:15:20
    dopamine hit then suddenly
  • 00:15:21
    you you feel this guilt and this this
  • 00:15:24
    shame and i feel dirty and i don't want
  • 00:15:26
    to do it so you decide
  • 00:15:27
    i'm going to try to stop and i don't
  • 00:15:30
    want to do it anymore
  • 00:15:31
    i'm going to overcome it and god help me
  • 00:15:33
    and i promise i'm not going to do this
  • 00:15:35
    and when you try to stop at some point
  • 00:15:38
    your body starts to crave that dopamine
  • 00:15:41
    hit
  • 00:15:42
    i want i want the emotional escape i
  • 00:15:44
    want to forget about my problems
  • 00:15:46
    i want the hit i want the thrill i want
  • 00:15:48
    the buzz and so you go back
  • 00:15:50
    to your injury that doesn't heal and
  • 00:15:52
    continues to look
  • 00:15:53
    and lust and the cycle goes on
  • 00:15:57
    how do we as
  • 00:16:00
    followers of jesus who have
  • 00:16:03
    access to a god-honoring life
  • 00:16:06
    and the ability to honor god with purity
  • 00:16:10
    integrity
  • 00:16:10
    how do we break the cycle
  • 00:16:14
    i want to be incredibly practical and
  • 00:16:17
    even more so
  • 00:16:18

  • 00:16:21

  • 00:16:22
    empowered by the holy spirit inspired by
  • 00:16:26
    the word of god
  • 00:16:27
    these two things over time with the help
  • 00:16:30
    of god
  • 00:16:31
    can help you break the cycle of lust
  • 00:16:34
    and allow god to heal your wound and
  • 00:16:37
    make you hold again
  • 00:16:38

  • 00:16:44

  • 00:16:48

    just type in the chat i'm ready to say
  • 00:16:52
    it out loud are you ready
  • 00:16:54
    two big thoughts the first thought
  • 00:16:56
    number one is this
  • 00:16:57
    if you're battling with lust and porn
  • 00:16:59
    don't conceal it
  • 00:17:02
    confess it don't keep it hidden
  • 00:17:05
    bring it out into the light and this is
  • 00:17:08
    scary
  • 00:17:09
    right it's nerve-wracking right now
  • 00:17:11
    you're going ah
  • 00:17:13
    okay don't conceal it confess scripture
  • 00:17:16
    is so
  • 00:17:16
    powerful proverbs 28 verse 13
  • 00:17:19
    people who conceal their sins
  • 00:17:23
    they don't prosper they don't find
  • 00:17:26
    freedom
  • 00:17:27
    there's not healing people who conceal
  • 00:17:29
    their sins
  • 00:17:30
    will not prosper but if they confess
  • 00:17:34
    and turn from their sins they will
  • 00:17:37
    receive
  • 00:17:38
    mercy they will receive healing you
  • 00:17:40
    don't conceal it
  • 00:17:42
    you confess it and some of you say but i
  • 00:17:44
    don't want to confess it this is just
  • 00:17:46
    scary and i would say to you
  • 00:17:48
    if you haven't and you're still battling
  • 00:17:49
    with it you haven't overcome this on
  • 00:17:51
    your own
  • 00:17:52
    because you are designed to heal
  • 00:17:55
    together and when we talk about
  • 00:17:58
    confession we need to understand
  • 00:17:59
    there's two different types of
  • 00:18:01
    confession
  • 00:18:02
    there's confession to god and there's
  • 00:18:05
    confession to people
  • 00:18:07
    we don't just confess to god we are in
  • 00:18:09
    life groups come on team lc
  • 00:18:11
    we we life is better together how in the
  • 00:18:14
    world do you expect to defeat
  • 00:18:15
    the forces of darkness on your own
  • 00:18:17
    you're not that strong
  • 00:18:18
    we confess to god and we confess to
  • 00:18:20
    people and there are two different
  • 00:18:22
    results
  • 00:18:23
    from two different types of confession
  • 00:18:25
    confessing to god
  • 00:18:27
    brings forgiveness and this is so great
  • 00:18:30
    no matter how dark your life is
  • 00:18:32
    if you confess your sins to god
  • 00:18:34
    scripture says he is faithful and just
  • 00:18:36
    to forgive your sins and cleanse you
  • 00:18:38
    from all unrighteousness
  • 00:18:40
    we confess to god for forgiveness but
  • 00:18:42
    james says we confess to people for
  • 00:18:44
    healing
  • 00:18:45
    james says confess your sins one to
  • 00:18:47
    another
  • 00:18:48
    and pray for each other that you might
  • 00:18:50
    be
  • 00:18:52
    healed remember you have an injury
  • 00:18:55
    that has it healed and i found that you
  • 00:18:58
    are
  • 00:18:59
    only as strong as you are
  • 00:19:02
    honest you are only as strong as you're
  • 00:19:06
    willing to be
  • 00:19:07
    honest the first thing and we're going
  • 00:19:09
    to talk more about this
  • 00:19:10
    don't conceal it confess it the second
  • 00:19:13
    thing is
  • 00:19:15
    don't fight lust flee from it
  • 00:19:19
    run from it get out of town the apostle
  • 00:19:22
    paul said this
  • 00:19:23
    in first corinthians 6 18 he didn't say
  • 00:19:26
    fight
  • 00:19:26
    sexual sin he said run from it run
  • 00:19:29
    because
  • 00:19:30
    there is no other sin that so clearly
  • 00:19:32
    affects the body
  • 00:19:33
    as this one does for sexual immorality
  • 00:19:36
    is a sin against your
  • 00:19:38
    own body we don't fight lust
  • 00:19:41
    we free from lust we flee it for example
  • 00:19:44
    in the old testament
  • 00:19:45
    you may remember the first desperate
  • 00:19:47
    housewife
  • 00:19:48
    that was potiphar's wife it's like a
  • 00:19:50
    true story uh like she attacked
  • 00:19:53
    jose like joe's you looking so good
  • 00:19:54
    there in that little tight little pants
  • 00:19:57
    or whatever
  • 00:19:57
    and uh and so she she threw herself at
  • 00:20:00
    joseph and what joseph didn't do is he
  • 00:20:02
    said didn't say
  • 00:20:02
    uh now let's talk about this let's let's
  • 00:20:04
    negotiate let's join hands and pray
  • 00:20:06
    against temptation that's not what he
  • 00:20:08
    did
  • 00:20:08
    what scripture says he did was very
  • 00:20:10
    clear verse 12 of genesis 39
  • 00:20:12
    uh when the wife caught him by the cloak
  • 00:20:14
    and said come to bed with me big boy
  • 00:20:16
    take me to bed or lose me forever she
  • 00:20:18
    said okay
  • 00:20:19
    that's the new craig version but
  • 00:20:20
    scripture says but he left his cloak in
  • 00:20:22
    his hand and what did he do say it loud
  • 00:20:24
    he ran out of the house someone typed
  • 00:20:27
    that in the chat what did he do
  • 00:20:28
    he didn't fight it he ran out of the
  • 00:20:31
    house
  • 00:20:32
    jesus taught us the same thing jesus
  • 00:20:35
    said very clearly
  • 00:20:36
    he said if your right eye causes you to
  • 00:20:39
    sin
  • 00:20:40
    gouge it out like get rid of whatever's
  • 00:20:44
    going to tempt you if your right
  • 00:20:45
    hand caused you sin he said cut it off
  • 00:20:48
    now
  • 00:20:48
    we can pause for a moment and ask
  • 00:20:50
    ourselves do you think jesus was being
  • 00:20:52
    literal
  • 00:20:53
    and i'm no expert but all i can tell you
  • 00:20:55
    is dear god i hope not
  • 00:20:58
    i think what he was saying was if
  • 00:21:00
    there's any place you're vulnerable
  • 00:21:02
    and anything that could cause you to sin
  • 00:21:04
    if there's any bait in the water
  • 00:21:06
    get out of the water get rid of get rid
  • 00:21:08
    of that that temptation
  • 00:21:10
    um he's saying be severe like if he was
  • 00:21:13
    being literal can you just imagine
  • 00:21:15
    you like walk into your office and you
  • 00:21:16
    see another guy's got a patch on design
  • 00:21:19
    you got a patch on you both got one arm
  • 00:21:20
    you're like christian
  • 00:21:22
    yeah me too i don't know right
  • 00:21:29
    don't conceal it confess it
  • 00:21:33
    don't fight it flee from it and
  • 00:21:36
    here's what's going to happen when you
  • 00:21:38
    do this
  • 00:21:39
    the god who created your body
  • 00:21:43
    will heal your body from the injury
  • 00:21:47
    and studies show just as if you break
  • 00:21:51
    your arm
  • 00:21:51
    and put it in a cast it's going to take
  • 00:21:53
    what six weeks eight weeks and
  • 00:21:55
    maybe longer to heal it takes some time
  • 00:21:58
    to heal
  • 00:21:59
    and in the same way a physical injury
  • 00:22:01
    takes time to heal
  • 00:22:03
    your spiritual your mental your
  • 00:22:05
    emotional
  • 00:22:07
    injury takes time for god to heal and
  • 00:22:10
    studies show it takes about 90 days
  • 00:22:13
    for you to start to stabilize and what i
  • 00:22:16
    want to do
  • 00:22:16
    because what i know is that many of you
  • 00:22:19
    you're not going to hide it anymore but
  • 00:22:20
    you're going to confess it
  • 00:22:22
    and you're not going to fight it you're
  • 00:22:23
    going to flee from it
  • 00:22:25
    and you're going to start the healing
  • 00:22:27
    process that god is going to do
  • 00:22:30
    and i want to show you what to expect
  • 00:22:32
    while you're healing
  • 00:22:34
    i did a lot of research and the best
  • 00:22:36
    place i found confirmed by others was a
  • 00:22:38
    well-documented article
  • 00:22:39
    called what porn does to your brain and
  • 00:22:41
    how to quit
  • 00:22:42
    and i want to show you over the 90-day
  • 00:22:44
    period what's going to happen
  • 00:22:46
    as you're detoxing from lust and god is
  • 00:22:49
    healing your injury
  • 00:22:50
    it'll go like this the first week
  • 00:22:52
    without porn
  • 00:22:54
    your dopamine is going to take a
  • 00:22:55
    nosedive because you're used to feeding
  • 00:22:57
    it and it's not going to be there
  • 00:22:59
    and because of that you're going to
  • 00:23:01
    likely experience dramatic mood swings
  • 00:23:03
    you're up and you're down you're all
  • 00:23:05
    over the place
  • 00:23:06
    you're likely to experience increased
  • 00:23:07
    anxiety and
  • 00:23:09
    possibly headaches and you might be um
  • 00:23:12
    hypersensitive to lustful thoughts
  • 00:23:14
    anything makes a lot yeah the wind blows
  • 00:23:17
    and you find yourself
  • 00:23:18
    in a vulnerable place and that's the
  • 00:23:20
    first week without porn
  • 00:23:21
    then as you progress in the process the
  • 00:23:24
    first one to three weeks without porn
  • 00:23:27
    because of the loss of dopamine and
  • 00:23:28
    because of the change in your body
  • 00:23:30
    your motivation and energy is going to
  • 00:23:32
    plummet you might find yourself
  • 00:23:34
    depressed
  • 00:23:35
    you're going to have little to no sexual
  • 00:23:36
    urges if you're married which is going
  • 00:23:39
    to be confusing to you but the problem
  • 00:23:40
    is
  • 00:23:41
    you've been looking at very lustful
  • 00:23:43
    pornographic
  • 00:23:44
    non-real stuff and at this point only
  • 00:23:46
    porn can excite you because your body is
  • 00:23:48
    messed up
  • 00:23:49
    the good news is that you continue to
  • 00:23:51
    heal and the next process is four to
  • 00:23:53
    eight weeks
  • 00:23:54
    without porn so you're now a month going
  • 00:23:57
    on two months without porn
  • 00:23:58
    your emotions are still all over the
  • 00:24:00
    place as a roller coaster
  • 00:24:02
    and you will have bursts of returning
  • 00:24:05
    energy because your body's normalizing
  • 00:24:07
    followed by sluggishness and depression
  • 00:24:10
    because you're not all the way healed
  • 00:24:12
    during this season watch out for sudden
  • 00:24:15
    bursts of temptation
  • 00:24:16
    many experts say it's at this point that
  • 00:24:19
    the most people will
  • 00:24:21
    relapse if you do relapse don't give up
  • 00:24:24
    don't binge confess it get back in the
  • 00:24:26
    game whatever you do
  • 00:24:27
    do not give up because in this process
  • 00:24:31
    god is
  • 00:24:32
    healing your wound even if you mess up
  • 00:24:35
    one time
  • 00:24:35
    it doesn't mean you're as injured as you
  • 00:24:37
    were god is doing work he's doing the
  • 00:24:39
    work
  • 00:24:40
    god is healing your brain then beyond
  • 00:24:42
    three months or so
  • 00:24:43
    you're going to start becoming
  • 00:24:45
    emotionally stable
  • 00:24:46
    your focus is going to sharpen guess
  • 00:24:48
    what your sex drive
  • 00:24:50
    it normalizes it becomes healthy and
  • 00:24:52
    returns
  • 00:24:53
    your spiritual confidence and your
  • 00:24:55
    intimacy soars you're walking with jesus
  • 00:24:58
    and guess what
  • 00:25:00
    you're being healed you feel at peace
  • 00:25:02
    you feel whole
  • 00:25:04
    you feel alive again because the spirit
  • 00:25:07
    of god
  • 00:25:08
    is healing you you don't conceal it
  • 00:25:12
    you confess it you don't fight it you
  • 00:25:15
    flee from it
  • 00:25:16
    and the bottom line is this you are only
  • 00:25:20
    as strong as you are honest
  • 00:25:24
    and i want to encourage somebody today i
  • 00:25:26
    don't know who i'm talking to
  • 00:25:27
    but let's get honest and i'm going to be
  • 00:25:30
    as honest with you as i can i will model
  • 00:25:32
    it
  • 00:25:33
    i told you as a kid i saw it in fifth
  • 00:25:35
    grade i saw it in the seventh grade
  • 00:25:36
    miraculously i didn't see much porn
  • 00:25:39
    through high school
  • 00:25:40
    and college it just wasn't very
  • 00:25:42
    available and the time when it struck me
  • 00:25:45
    and it it it scared me bad was i was
  • 00:25:48
    probably
  • 00:25:49
    31 or 32. amy may remember
  • 00:25:52
    better but it was when aol came out who
  • 00:25:55
    remembers when aol came out
  • 00:25:58
    okay and amy and i were sitting down
  • 00:26:00
    together
  • 00:26:02
    learning how to kind of surf online and
  • 00:26:04
    that was back when
  • 00:26:05
    porn would pop up and with her sitting
  • 00:26:07
    right next to me
  • 00:26:09
    something popped up in my living room on
  • 00:26:11
    my computer
  • 00:26:13
    and it scared me it scared me
  • 00:26:17
    just like you got porn in your pocket
  • 00:26:20
    there was now porn available to me in my
  • 00:26:24
    house and like i told you long before i
  • 00:26:27
    was a pastor
  • 00:26:28
    i used to be a regular guy and all the
  • 00:26:31
    way back
  • 00:26:32
    those memories of fifth grade and
  • 00:26:33
    seventh grade and sexual sin
  • 00:26:36
    i felt vulnerable so what did i do
  • 00:26:40
    i did not conceal it i can't
  • 00:26:44
    i talked to people about it talk to amy
  • 00:26:46
    about it talk to
  • 00:26:47
    john about it talk to bobby about it
  • 00:26:50
    talk to my friends about it and we came
  • 00:26:53
    up with a plan
  • 00:26:54
    and that is i just call it locking down
  • 00:26:57
    meaning everywhere i could have access i
  • 00:27:00
    lock it down
  • 00:27:01
    and i want to tell you what i do this is
  • 00:27:04
    my phone
  • 00:27:05
    and it's locked down to the best of my
  • 00:27:08
    technical
  • 00:27:09
    ability i have no way to look at porn
  • 00:27:12
    on my phone i have the back door shut
  • 00:27:16
    that
  • 00:27:16
    limits adult content meaning this is
  • 00:27:19
    true amy will tell you i cannot
  • 00:27:21
    search for a hot air balloon ride
  • 00:27:25
    because it blocks me because the word
  • 00:27:26
    hot is in there it's incredibly
  • 00:27:28
    inconvenient
  • 00:27:29
    amy could not order a swimsuit from my
  • 00:27:31
    phone because it blocks it
  • 00:27:33
    uh but i limit adult access i don't have
  • 00:27:36
    the ability to download any apps meaning
  • 00:27:38
    there are some apps you can get to stuff
  • 00:27:39
    that i don't want to get to so any app
  • 00:27:41
    that has access
  • 00:27:42
    i just don't have social media i hate to
  • 00:27:45
    disappoint you but that's not me posting
  • 00:27:46
    all the time okay
  • 00:27:48
    there's you know i'm not sitting there
  • 00:27:49
    all day posting on four different
  • 00:27:51
    platforms
  • 00:27:51
    there's like four or five people that
  • 00:27:52
    have access to my i'm on one form of
  • 00:27:54
    social media
  • 00:27:55
    i look but i don't interact i don't need
  • 00:27:58
    to go there because there's some stuff
  • 00:28:00
    on twitter i don't want to look at i
  • 00:28:02
    know i don't know how to log on to
  • 00:28:03
    twitter
  • 00:28:04
    tiktok facebook you guys have fun i'm
  • 00:28:06
    not there okay
  • 00:28:07
    i i have this locked down my computer
  • 00:28:11
    um everything i click is viewed by lots
  • 00:28:13
    of people
  • 00:28:14
    it takes images one time i did a
  • 00:28:17
    facetime with the ladies from my office
  • 00:28:18
    and there were images that said you're
  • 00:28:20
    with
  • 00:28:20
    ladies and my accountability partner
  • 00:28:22
    says who are those ladies well they're
  • 00:28:23
    in my office and i'm at home and
  • 00:28:24
    quarantined and so everything is visible
  • 00:28:27
    and you may say oh my gosh pastor craig
  • 00:28:29
    are you like that vulnerable are you
  • 00:28:31
    that weak are you like are you that sick
  • 00:28:33
    the answer is no like really generally
  • 00:28:36
    most of the time almost all the time no
  • 00:28:39
    but guess what i'm still capable
  • 00:28:44
    of falling short and in the wrong moment
  • 00:28:48
    at the wrong time
  • 00:28:49
    if i just happen to be vulnerable six
  • 00:28:51
    months from now
  • 00:28:52
    or two years from now why would i leave
  • 00:28:55
    myself access
  • 00:28:57
    to something that i don't want to look
  • 00:28:59
    at why would i leave the bait in the
  • 00:29:01
    water when i don't want to get hooked
  • 00:29:04
    so the way i phrase it and i tell my
  • 00:29:06
    pastor friends and my staff this all the
  • 00:29:08
    time
  • 00:29:09
    why resist a temptation in the future
  • 00:29:12
    when you have the power to eliminate it
  • 00:29:14
    today
  • 00:29:22
    because what do i have to lose by being
  • 00:29:24
    careful
  • 00:29:28
    what do i have to lose if i'm not the
  • 00:29:31
    same thing you have to lose
  • 00:29:35
    your relationship your peace your joy
  • 00:29:39
    your integrity your influence your
  • 00:29:41
    ministry
  • 00:29:43
    you're only as strong as you are honest
  • 00:29:45
    so what i'm going to do is encourage you
  • 00:29:46
    those of you online wherever you're
  • 00:29:48
    watching to be honest
  • 00:29:49
    and there's two questions you're
  • 00:29:50
    probably going to ask and the first
  • 00:29:52
    question you might ask is who do i tell
  • 00:29:54
    okay who do i tell if i'm going to
  • 00:29:55
    confess it
  • 00:29:56
    and you're also maybe asking well how do
  • 00:29:58
    i receive a confession
  • 00:29:59
    if someone confesses it to me and i want
  • 00:30:01
    to talk about these things
  • 00:30:02
    um who do i tell and the answer is i'm
  • 00:30:05
    going to ask you a question back who do
  • 00:30:07
    you trust to tell
  • 00:30:09
    when at all possible if you're married
  • 00:30:11
    it's a lot easier to win
  • 00:30:13
    when your spouse is on board but i will
  • 00:30:16
    acknowledge based on
  • 00:30:17
    30 years of ministry there are some
  • 00:30:19
    spouses that
  • 00:30:20
    do not want to know if it's possible i'm
  • 00:30:24
    going to recommend you work together
  • 00:30:25
    and if it's possible and wise we're
  • 00:30:28
    going to tell our spouse
  • 00:30:29
    if your spouse is one of those that
  • 00:30:31
    refuses to work with you and wants you
  • 00:30:34
    to deal with it on your own
  • 00:30:35
    i'm going to encourage you to tell who
  • 00:30:37
    you trust a christian counselor
  • 00:30:40
    your life group leader your local pastor
  • 00:30:44
    a close friend john and i have talked
  • 00:30:47
    about this for
  • 00:30:48
    probably 28 years and we have no secrets
  • 00:30:52
    you may want to get in a 12-step program
  • 00:30:54
    you may need to go to rehab
  • 00:30:56
    but we're not going to conceal it we're
  • 00:30:57
    going to confess it then how do you
  • 00:30:59
    receive a confession
  • 00:31:00
    if it's two buddies like me and john it
  • 00:31:02
    never offends me if he talks to me i
  • 00:31:04
    don't offend him if i talk to him it's
  • 00:31:06
    just two buddies
  • 00:31:07
    but if your boyfriend or your girlfriend
  • 00:31:08
    or your spouse confesses it to you
  • 00:31:11
    you might be real tempted to feel hurt
  • 00:31:14
    or angry
  • 00:31:15
    or sickened or embarrassed you might you
  • 00:31:16
    might wonder what's wrong
  • 00:31:18
    with me and what i want to do is i want
  • 00:31:20
    to just try to help you see
  • 00:31:22
    that if your spouse is coming to you
  • 00:31:25
    saying i want help it's because
  • 00:31:26
    your spouse or your boyfriend or
  • 00:31:28
    girlfriend they're
  • 00:31:30
    injured
  • 00:31:33
    and they want healing just like i didn't
  • 00:31:36
    plan to walk across those things and
  • 00:31:38
    open up that door didn't plan for aol to
  • 00:31:40
    pop up
  • 00:31:41
    um and then plan to do some of the stuff
  • 00:31:42
    i did before i was a christian
  • 00:31:44
    i got injured and i needed healing
  • 00:31:48
    and some of you if someone comes to you
  • 00:31:50
    just remember their confession
  • 00:31:53
    is a genuine desire for purity and love
  • 00:31:57
    for you
  • 00:31:59
    so even though it's going to be tempting
  • 00:32:01
    to want to take it personally and be
  • 00:32:03
    hurt and be offended and i understand
  • 00:32:05
    that
  • 00:32:05
    um as best you can recognize that you've
  • 00:32:08
    got someone who
  • 00:32:09
    really craves righteousness and loves
  • 00:32:12
    you enough to come to you and say will
  • 00:32:14
    you please
  • 00:32:14
    help me heal don't conceal it
  • 00:32:18
    confess it don't fight it
  • 00:32:21
    flee from it and if you find yourself
  • 00:32:24
    battling with us right now let me say
  • 00:32:26
    right now
  • 00:32:26
    you're not just some weirdo pervert jerk
  • 00:32:28
    lose or something
  • 00:32:30
    you're just a person that got injured
  • 00:32:33
    that god
  • 00:32:34
    loves so much and brought you to this
  • 00:32:38
    message
  • 00:32:40
    at this moment because by the stripes of
  • 00:32:43
    jesus we are
  • 00:32:46
    healed and he wants to help you
  • 00:32:51
    heal so father today
  • 00:32:55
    we pray that there would be no
  • 00:32:57
    condemnation for those who are in christ
  • 00:32:58
    jesus
  • 00:32:59
    but your love your grace your presence
  • 00:33:01
    your power your truth
  • 00:33:03
    would help set us free
  • 00:33:07
    normally at this time i would ask for
  • 00:33:11
    kind of a what i'd call a soft close
  • 00:33:14
    meaning sales you close people and i
  • 00:33:16
    would say if you're dealing with this
  • 00:33:17
    and you want to be free
  • 00:33:19
    raise your hand i'm not going to ask you
  • 00:33:21
    to do that right now what i'm going to
  • 00:33:23
    ask you to do
  • 00:33:24
    is in your heart to make a decision if
  • 00:33:27
    your heart's beating fast if you feel a
  • 00:33:29
    little nervous i'm talking directly to
  • 00:33:31
    you more importantly god's talking to
  • 00:33:32
    you
  • 00:33:33
    what are you going to do about it what
  • 00:33:35
    are you going to do about it
  • 00:33:37
    the next step could be incredibly
  • 00:33:39
    uncomfortable
  • 00:33:40
    could be could be painful it could be
  • 00:33:43
    filled with some tears and some and some
  • 00:33:45
    challenges
  • 00:33:46
    but let me ask you this how's it been
  • 00:33:48
    being locked in prison
  • 00:33:50
    how's it been dragging that weight
  • 00:33:51
    around how's it been feeling
  • 00:33:53
    feeling like you may get caught and
  • 00:33:55
    dirty and and sick and things not
  • 00:33:57
    working right
  • 00:33:58
    how's that how's that injury working for
  • 00:34:00
    you what i'm gonna ask you to do
  • 00:34:03
    is make a decision what's your next step
  • 00:34:06
    what's your next step
  • 00:34:07
    and father i pray that you would guide
  • 00:34:10
    that next step
  • 00:34:12
    show us who to confess to show us who to
  • 00:34:16
    confess to
  • 00:34:17
    god help us to heal we've seen what
  • 00:34:20
    happens
  • 00:34:21
    when you're healing us help us to even
  • 00:34:22
    expect what's coming
  • 00:34:24
    and endure it because the glory on the
  • 00:34:26
    other side is worth the price we'll pay
  • 00:34:27
    to find freedom
  • 00:34:29
    and god for any who might find
  • 00:34:31
    themselves in a more challenging
  • 00:34:32
    conversation
  • 00:34:34
    on the confessing or the receiving end
  • 00:34:37
    we pray god for your grace and your
  • 00:34:39
    presence and your holy spirit to go
  • 00:34:40
    before us
  • 00:34:42
    because you are the god who heals you
  • 00:34:44
    are the god who loves us
  • 00:34:46
    and we know there is no condemnation for
  • 00:34:48
    those who are in christ jesus
  • 00:34:51
    so god we trust you
  • 00:34:54
    and we pray that you would heal our
  • 00:34:56
    minds heal our hearts heal our souls
  • 00:34:58
    heal our relationships that we can show
  • 00:35:01
    your love and all we do
  • 00:35:03
    as you keep praying today without
  • 00:35:05
    looking around those of you watching
  • 00:35:06
    online
  • 00:35:07
    let's go broader than this topic and
  • 00:35:09
    let's just talk about
  • 00:35:10
    sin i can remember all the different
  • 00:35:13
    times i've sinned growing up i can
  • 00:35:14
    remember when i sinned yesterday and
  • 00:35:16
    fell short of god's standard what is sin
  • 00:35:18
    sin is missing the mark of god's
  • 00:35:20
    holiness we serve a holy god a perfect
  • 00:35:22
    god
  • 00:35:23
    and scripture says all of us and this
  • 00:35:24
    includes you and this includes me every
  • 00:35:26
    single one of us
  • 00:35:27
    we have sinned and fallen short of that
  • 00:35:30
    standard and you feel it at times you
  • 00:35:31
    feel the weight you feel the conviction
  • 00:35:34
    of that sin here's the good news because
  • 00:35:36
    god is so good
  • 00:35:37
    his love is so broad that he sent his
  • 00:35:40
    son jesus
  • 00:35:41
    who never sinned he was perfect in every
  • 00:35:43
    way and jesus gave his life
  • 00:35:45
    on a cross for the forgiveness of our
  • 00:35:47
    sins he didn't stay dead
  • 00:35:49
    he died as a sacrifice but god raised
  • 00:35:51
    him from the dead
  • 00:35:52
    so that anyone and this includes you who
  • 00:35:56
    calls on the name of jesus
  • 00:35:58
    your sins would be forgiven and you
  • 00:36:01
