Satans Trap
The pornographic industry is a multi-billion dollar
industry that works by bringing both men and
women into satanic bondage. Sadly, it is one of the
most popular industries in the world. It is a snare of
the devil and a deadly trap for those caught up in
its web.
I (the author) am writing this article because I want
to encourage men (and women) to get out of this
snare of the devil. I have learned that this trap will
literally bring the souls of men (and women) down to Hell. That is the devils plan and sadly,
it is working. But, God can reverse it. God only can set a man or woman caught up in this
trap free. In this article, we will find out how to get free from the grip of pornography.
Pornography is an addiction that 70% of men from 18 to 34 are caught up in (1). More than
72 million people view adult websites worldwide each month (1). Over 50% of pastors in
America say that pornography is a possible temptation (i.e. they are admitting that they
have a problem) (2). Fifty percent (50%) of all Christian men surveyed admit that they are
addicted to pornography (2) and 20% of all Christian women admit they are addicted (2).
Pornography has its clutches over many, many people around the world. It is an evil and
harmful addiction which has destroyed many marriages and destroyed many mens souls.
How is this so?
Jesus Christ said
Matthew 5:28-29
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell.
Jesus is saying to get rid of what tempts you to sin (i.e. what offends you). Proverbs 7 talks
more about this. Please take the time to read, seek God, and think about this.
Proverbs 7:1-5
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which
flattereth with her words.
The strange woman is the harlot, or the prostitute, or the image of a woman that a man is
lusting after. This prostitute tells the man Come, let us take
our fill of love.
Proverbs 7:18-27 (bold / underline added)
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let
us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long
journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day
appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips
she forced him.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity.
If God only knew you for one split-second
of eternity its as if He never knew you.
Dont let that happen to you. God is not
willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. (2 Peter
3:9).
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance.
Repentance is the key in order to be set free from sin (including pornography which is a
type of fornication and adultery. See Matthew 5:28-29). God wants His children to confess
their sins to God and repent from sin. Repentance is turning away from sin and depending
on God for help to do so.
There is a way out of the trap of pornography (fornication). To get set free from
pornography one needs to be:
(1) confessing sin to God and repenting (turning away) from sin every time he or
she is aware of sinning (Proverbs 28:13-14 and 1 John 1:9-10);
(2) crying out to God for deliverance (see Psalm 40:12-13);
(3) using the sword of the Spirit (Gods word) and spiritual warfare against sin and
temptation whenever the temptation comes (Ephesians 6; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5;
James 4:4-10; etc.).
will still have to battle temptations but God will give you the help you need as you depend
on God (see James 1:13-15 and 1 Corinthians 10:12-13).
