Run For Your Life!!

Yesterday I blogged about what happens when a person views pornography. We saw that the person who views pornography opens the door for Satan to 'break the hedge'  around him and devastate his or her life.
Where can a porn addict do to get freedom? Only from God our Maker. A Biblical counselor would consider a 3 pronged attack:

• Pre-Deliverance Counselling 
• Deliverance Session (s)
• Post Deliverance Counselling

In the Pre-deliverance Counselling deals with the porn problem itself, asking the client to confess to God and his/her family the sins of porn watching, reading or listening to lewd and/or violent content. The person also confesses any sins done against his/her family and /or whoever else they have hurt. If they are willing, to be saved, they should say  a salvation prayer. Then they  renounce and get rid of whatever form of pornographic material they have.

In the Deliverance Session the client will again renounce the pornography in the name of Jesus. Then he or she is then prayed for by people who are trained in this area of ministry. The demonic aspect of the problem is thus dealt with here. Several deliverance sessions may be necessary according to the severity of the addiction. Even in the counselling sessions, deliverance may occur as the person deals with the root of the problem.

The Post Deliverance Counselling deals with the underlying issues that caused the person to become addicted in the first place. The family is also counselled (spouse if married, or relatives or friends if not). The person also may have to deal with any legal aspect of their problem, if any. 

I hope that these past few posts will show you the dangers of pornography, both to adults and children. Please parents, don't allow your children to view this stuff, you are setting them up for hurt and pain in  later life. Live pure and holy before God. 

"Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." 2 Corinthians 6: 18 - 20 (ESV)
