I made a little note of my date of last watching wrong movies, not adult but still wrong. I'm actually struggling with this now. God please help me to do good works that will glorify you and not selfish desires. In Jesus' name. I pray. Amen.

Encouragement: God has given you authority to take your thoughts captive. Reality: It's a daily task. Empowered: Humble yourself before Christ daily...shoot, sometimes I need to do it several times. I boast of his glory not my own. When I feel ego, pride and selfishness knocking on my door, God calls to me to pray, check my actions and ask for help from him. It's a work in progress but as I do it more and more, it gets easier.

You know I was trying to think why in the last few weeks I've had a lot more freedom from this (following some deliverance I got where the Lord really answered a prayer). The best I could come up with was: it's just not what my life is about anymore. When I was counting the days religiously, recovering from porn was what my life was about. Praise God I don't think it is anymore. Don't get me wrong I have plenty of other battles to fight! But this one is not the main one anymore, praise Jesus!

Yes, we can focus too much on that and too little on Christ Himself. I love my daily Bible time; it helps me keep things in perspective.

Even though I think sobriety date is not enough now, still I remember it's a mark for progress. If it's true History repeats itself, then I need to remember how I fell, and learn to re-adjust my boundaries, theology, program, whatever it's called to get my life in order. For example, I read Psalms 101 today and David makes a series of statement about "I will not set evil before my eyes". Puting that together + last fall, I have to re-adjust and now know my new boundaries.
New boundarary = I am not able to minister to women who are sick or addicts like me. Application to me is that I am not able to private chat with a women for help.
God please help me.
I don't need to remember my date in this case necessarily, but knowing where I came from is kind of important to me. Not to focus on it too much, but I know I got to focus on Jesus Christ rather than "my fall".
