I am on a good path with Jesus my God now. Still I don't want to get too proud and I also don't want to get too negative too. I need God to help me regulate this and I really want to have peace with God and others and myself too. Thank you Jesus.

Isaiah 3:16-26 CSB The LORD also says: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, walking with heads held high and seductive eyes, prancing along, jingling their ankle bracelets, [17] the Lord will put scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will shave their foreheads bare. [18] On that day the Lord will strip their finery: ankle bracelets, headbands, crescents, [19] pendants, bracelets, veils, [20] headdresses, ankle jewelry, sashes, perfume bottles, amulets, [21] signet rings, nose rings, [22] festive robes, capes, cloaks, purses, [23] garments, linen clothes, turbans, and shawls. [24] Instead of perfume there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of beautifully styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothes, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. [25] Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. [26] Then her gates will lament and mourn; deserted, she will sit on the ground.
Oh my goodness. (I have no goodness but I am at a loss for words).
That was the scriptures I was looking for. Not to blame women but to expose somethings.
Do women do things to seduce a men?
1. haughty 2. walking with heads held high 3. seductive eyes 4. prancing along 5. jingling with their ankle bracelets
I already know the criticism on this, because I'm an inner critic to myself, allow me to share my inner critics.
"Dominic, you can't blame a women for your lust" "Dominic, you are projecting your own issue onto other men" "Dominic, you are the one that has the sex and lust and love addiction problem"
and to that, I would say "ouch" because it's true.
It's true so I have to expose myself first, if I even want to preach/teach/say anything in agreement with God's Word.
1. Is it true that I looked at other women? Yes
2. Is it true that I get aroused sexually sometimes? Yes
3. Is it true that I am a man? Yes
counter-questions.
1. Is it true that I don't always look at women? Yes 2. Is it true that I am not always 24/7 aroused sexually? Yes 3. Is it true that I am a man? Yes
Jesus told the women in John 8 "Neither do I condemn you, go an sin no more" I think this gentle loving approach, this reflects the heart of Jesus. He truly sees into the women, and into her deep soul and being.
Dominic doesn't need to know all her dirty secrets. Dominic doesn't need to condemn her. Dominic doesn't need to say "She is making others seduce"
These scriptures can be very controversial because they are very revealing.
WAIT!!!!
Didn't God create sex? Yes
John 3:19 CSB This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
Romans 2:4 CSB Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
Titus 2:11-15 CSB For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, [12] instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age, [13] while we wait for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. [14] He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession, eager to do good works. [15] Proclaim these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

I would like to ask for prayer. My mom is having an affair with a man who also claims to be a Christian. God forbid this. This man is also harrassing my two brothers in America. This man has multiple social media accounts and I have presented this evidence to my mother in hope to stop this affair. Please pray for my dad and my mom to reconcile. My dad also has a marijuana problem too, this is the reason, my mom claims, she is the victim and did what she did. Please pray that Satan will be defeated by Jesus Christ in this situation and that my mom would repent or be saved or whatever this is and that my dad would repent and be saved too. I just am hurting and can't even imagine what my dad is going through. Also, my daughter tonight is running a high fever and we need prayers for her too. Thank you for listening and praying.

Nothing happens until honesty is done. Being fearlessly honest with myself about what I am doing, my intentions.
Update: God healed my daughter. Thank you Jesus.

Holy Spirit,
Please convict Dominic's mom. Show her that there is no good in sin. Her flesh misleads her, rationalizing, lying. You love her Lord, and discipline those you love. Let your will be done in her, Lord. And please provide Dominic's father with strength and wisdom. Please provide peace to Dominic as he's witnessing the marriage of his parents fall apart. We pray for healing. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Happy New Years brothers and sisters. May we know the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For with God all things are possible. Without Jesus, we can't do anything. John 15. If we don't remain in Him we will be like a branch removed and burned.
Lord please forgive me and help me and to love you with all my heart and all my mind and all my strength and to love my neighbor as myself. May Your Word be reigning and ruling willingly in all of our hearts. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Today is a new day with my Jesus Christ.

Here is an update on my family. My wife and I are together and happy. She is being healed by the grace of God. I can see a lot of healing from God in her life. She smiles, she sings and makes me smile. I don't know how I ever could have done the sins I did.
It was my own wicked and depraved heart that worshiped a fantasy and human bodies as some goddess. It was my morbid love for pleasure at almost any cost and cares about nothing else but my own desires.
Dear God thank you for loving me and dying for my sins. Thank you for being so loving and tenderly guiding me patiently back to You. Lord, please help me to be strong and never fall as in times past and please help me to see You always and do things for Your glory and not mine. Lord, please let our children know You and please give them wisdom and hearts to see after You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

It's good to hear that you're observing good things happening in your life and your marriage. God is good. All the time. Even if we can't recognize it.

I want to know the Lord Jesus. I think will be fine enough with God's mercy and grace.
I also started to read the NET Bible.

As life on earth goes on day by day, I'm seeing what is important and what is not.

Today was not a good day. I sinned. I tried really hard but this whole week I did many questionable things. I finally gave into the cravings.
I can't blame my wife and others. I only blame myself.
I am thinking of changing back to a flip phone now. And taking the home computer to the work office and put aside in storage because I know this is going to be a very difficult season.

For me, a relapse is a sign that God is still working on me. And there's something that He wants me to learn.
I commend your honesty. I know that you're trying really hard. I know that you want to quit this. I've been there myself. For me, God wanted to identify and heal some deeper problems within myself. Problems that were sabotaging and undermining my conscious efforts to stop the behavior. But as you already know, we still have to own 100% of the responsibility for our actions.
I know you must be frustrated. Wondering when this cycle is ever going to end? Trust me. God is here. He is always with us. I pray that He will guide you to the next step on your journey. If something doesn't work or stops working, instead of trying harder, try different.
Thank you for sharing brother
