I'm glad I read this before I typed my post today cause I was about to start a new topic about my trial with temptation and my ultimate overcoming of it.

So I was online last night like I usually am and a use to be sexual partner of mine popped on and said hello to me and asked me what I was doing on Sunday. Well I have drill this weekend so I said that I would be at drill. For those of you that don't know when I say drill I mean that I am going to my Army National Guard training. Anyway he was like well after drill you want to come down and see me. Well I don't have a car and besides my one weekend a month I'm not working right now so I told him all of this and he was like I will pay for you to take the train down here or to take a bus. HMMMMMM....I was thinking to myself...why oh why does he want to see me this bad....HMMMM....

Well the first thing I asked him was is the only reason you want to see me is becasue you want sex out of me. It took him a while to reply to that and as he was thinking I typed out another message that went to the tone of never mind that question is sex any of the reason why you want to see me....and I got a no reply...HMMMMMM I thought to myself again...and as I was thinking he came back with well I won't force myself on you...and I thought to myself well thats great cause I would probably report you....

And so the conversation went on and yes ultimatly he wanted sex...I told him that I wasn't gonna do it...I shared that I already struggle with sexual sin and that I've been working really hard to keep the temptation away from me so that I can grow and become what God wants me to become. He gave me the guilt trip after that...oh so you don't like me...I'm not attractive now...I told him that I like him fine as a friend and that he is very attractive to me and thats a reason that he probably should just stay away cause I know that if I saw him that I would be tempted and probably fall to it....And I'm not saying that I dont want to have sex in my flesh cause I really do but I've been doing well well being able to resist temptation so far and I don't want to put yet anohter road block in my way. I'm trying so hard to do God's will and I don't want to take steps backwards if I can help it and not seeing this guy I can help.

Yeah I know that was really long...sorry bout that....but I wanted to share...I was so proud of myself for resisting and I prayed after I talked to him and thanked God for watching over me.

Love you guys,
verdad

And God is proud of you, and so am I. Yay sis for fighting the good fight and not giving in. Now, you KNOW that you can make a stand against the flesh and that you don't have to give in. There is a better way, and look how happy you are about the choice you have made for God...God will bless you for your choice.

Have a nice time at drill sis. We will miss you. See you when you get back.

I too have struggled with sex, I recently begun a relationship with the Holy Spirit, and in the step program on this website it taught me alot about the Holy Spirit and what his roll could be and is in my life.

He's my protector and defender, and i talked to him about my struggles with sex. I had plans to have sex with someone i used to had sex with and i heard that little voice asked "is it worth it?" and i decided not to, and i immediately began praising God, it just came out i had no control over that, i just gave God praise.

I placed my sexual struggles under the blood of Jesus Christ, and I woke up this morning and i told the enemy he no longer has power over me, those pleasures that he's tempting me with i've grown up and out of them, i said i have Holy Trinity all around me, behind, in front, on my right, on my left, beneath me, above me i'm totally covered, no power over me.

And i take a look back and all i wanted from these men was sex, but i've grown up, i want more than that or not that at all, i want to be treated and seen as a woman if not lady and not just a drink of water to quench their thirst. I am worth more than that i have a husband to make it even better for me. God is good, and i like myself more for it now, and how he's helping me to see things the way i should.

Hey Blessed! Praise God for your journey into a loving relationship with the Holy Spirit! I personally have found Him to be so much more than the physical touch of human and that which fufills me wholly...

You'll find it gets easier, sis, with time and patience And you do have much support here so do not hesitate to post or private message!

God bless you Blessed and look forward to walking this path with you!

I too have so far overcome these temptations to this point. I installed a k9 filter and with math in school and religions class i have to focus on that and studying the bible more. I have thought about this lately on a past post that skrubby posted about internet pornography, how true he said it all, I have gone deeper and deeper into it too before i stopped and asked God to take control of that in my life. I also been praying some for the Lord to show me if it is His will for me to have another surgery, to take my remaining ovary out. I'm always in so much pain and too much blood loss every time i get my monthly, so in the longrun to my health I htink it would be wiser but I want to do what the Lord would have me to do. Ok so far i havent had any urges for self pleasure which is good, yes i have though about it but them quickly think about other things and then they go away now. I planning to talk to someone today from my church and im writing in a journal now too.

Verdad, Blessed, and 7,

First, I wish to applaud your decision to lean on Him to overcome the temptation the enemy tries to place in front of you. As others have said, I know our Father is proud of you.

Darkness is all around us in this world.... and each of you have taken an awesome step on your walk with Him.

Each of you are in my prayers, for continued strength to overcome and rise above; added prayer 7, for God's will in the medical situation you are faced with.

God Bless and keep you, always.

Peace and Luv in Christ,
Lani
