Good Morning, Thanks for the feedback. I have read most of Easy Plesey. Need to read it more. Since our last conversation, and I will be honest, I fell again. After asking the Lord for forgiveness, the temptation came again, but I overcame it. Thank God. I have to watch triggers that will cause me to lust. I believe when things are going well, I get relaxed, instead of keeping my guard up. I have realized this a battle for my soul. I must when the battles through the help of the Lord and support groups like this one. I have started over and I am determined to win! I will not wallow in self-condemnation. Continue to pray for me.

Good Morning, Day 8 of being obedient and walking in freedom. The enemy tried to place lustful thoughts in my mind through a crazy dream. When I awoke from the dream, I took authority over it in the the name of Jesus, rebuked it by the blood of Jesus, gave praise to the Lord and recited scripture. I am closing all pathways to allow the dream to sink in my mind. I barely remember the details of the dream. And by the grace of God, I will keep It that way. Thank you for your prayers. Amen

Good Morning, Day 9 of Living and Walking in freedom. One of the important things that helping me is the fact that I was made free the moment I gave my life to Jesus. I just didn’t realize it. Once I realized it, it was a matter of walking in that freedom. This is a one day at a time walk. It means watching what I view and watching what I think. I have learned to keep a close eye on both. Thank you for your prayers.

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul!! 16 days clean. That’s not to say they were temptation free. They come! However, through the Holy Spirit, I learned to not to allow those lustful thoughts have control over me. Through the Spirit, I expel those lustful thoughts from my mind, even the “smallest “ thought. This is a one day at a time walk with the Lord. I am thankful for His love and power. And thank God for this group.

iamfree, You're on the right track. I've seen too many ignore the way that small compromises lead to great disasters. Thinking that as long we're abstaining from porn and MB, we're okay. But by not paying attention to what we expose our eyes and minds to, the gateway opens to relapse. God calls us to take every thought captive. Good job!

Made it a habit to take every thought captive and exercising the authority that we have in Jesus. The power of Holy Spirit is real!

Well, I got frustrated and and gave in to lust. I must admit I took frustration for granted as a trigger. In other words, I allowed my emotions get the better of me and allowed lust to come in. I really hate lust and all the thing’s associated with it. I refuse to wallow in shame and guilt. That’s one of the reasons why I am here. So, starting over, with help from the Lord and your prayers and support. Satan was placing thoughts in my mind not to come here and admit what happened. I want to be accountable. Again, thank you for your support and constructive criticism.

iamfree, When you say you gave into lust, what behaviors did you actually do to constitute a reset? There's a big difference between checking out a jogger out on the street and looking up a porn site. It's true that all acts of lust are sin, but it's not realistic for one to expect to be completely lust fee from day one of their journey. Resets are normally reserved for acting out behaviors such as using porn and MB. And I'm not exactly sure what you did.
