Hey guys,
just checking in. It's Saturday, Shabbat, 'challenge day'. : )
Have made my plan and it's going well so far. Lust is only a click away, but that doesn't mean I have to go there.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness!
Zero tolerance of sin!

Will, I think you should rename Saturday as Overcoming Day. That more aptly says what you are going to do and that you will be successful.

Hey guys, hmm I did click on some videos on Saturday that were inappropriate and indulgent of lust, so that sucks. It was not 'serious' but still a major problem. Can't believe I could be so stupid to think that is not a big problem. It's amazing how deceptive the enemy is to convince that something is 'not a big deal' when it's the main battle!!!

I'm thankful God brought you through that!
Yes, the longer we linger, the harder it is to tear ourselves away. We must cry out to him quickly, remembering his mercy and grace!!! I need to learn this.

Seems like it is the same lie the enemy tells all of us. Been there so many times. A few days ago I was trying to figure out if there was a device that I did not turn over to the Lord so maybe I could dip my toe back into the filth. But the further I get away from it the battle seems a little less intense. All in all though I cannot trust myself. My worst enemy is the guy in the mirror!!

Hey guys,
just checking in. Have reset my sobriety date to two weeks ago so it reflects fully 'clean' days (with my eyes anyway), not just non-porn days.
Things are going pretty well. Am trying to live as a Spirit-filled Christian and make that my life's work rather than achieving things in the flesh. It's hard! Pride and vanity are constantly gnawing at me to do something that the world would esteem. Praying that I may be able to be a servant of God that He would esteem.

It may help you to live as a Spirit-filled Christian. Demon possessed people have given up control of all themselves to the demon. They do, say and think what the demon wants. We are to be Jesus possessed people. Let Christ have full control of all of you...mind, body, soul, spirit. So see yourself overlayed with the image of Christ. See Christ melded with you...directing you in everything you do, say, think. Boy that was an eye opener for me. I am not there yet but I full intend to put that image at the forefront of my mind from now on.

Hey guys,
thanks Amy. Unfortunately stumbled again on Saturday night/Sunday morning and Monday night. Foolishly watched some movies - I should know better. But God is good and has reminded me of His Grace and renewed my Faith.

Praying that God will remind you of his love, and guide you in how to avoid this in future.
