Deliverance From Sexual Sin

I need prayer for deliverance from sexual sin brought on by unclean thoughts that I've had since I was a child. I've been struggling and losing the fight for 15 years now. Some days I am able to stand against it. Some days I am not able to resist and I fall into temptation. I pray daily for God to help me in this area, but there's no breakthrough. I often have felt distant from God and spiritually trapped because of the shame, the guilt, self condemnation, self unforgiveness and self hatred that comes along with committing sexual sin. Sexual sin has robbed me of God's love, mercy, grace and blessings. I know Jesus died for all sins and that forgiveness is always available upon asking. However, I feel often like I trample upon God's grace and forgiveness due to committing sexual sin over and over again even after asking for help and deliverance. I just want to grow in God and not fall along the wayside.

I agree completely with

I agree completely with Kingdom Seeker. Joey, I feel the Holy Spirit is saying that you suffer from homosexual sin. Just as encouragement, a man came into my home church this morning in his 60s and was delivered of a life of homosexual sins. He felt unworthy to be cleansed after all the filth he had committed. You MUST understand that if you truly are heartbroken because of the separation between you and God that your sinning has caused, and you earnestly repent, the BLOOD of Jesus covers you and cleanses you of ALL filth. The voice of condemnation telling you that you aren't forgiven, that it's just a matter of time before it happens again, that you've sinned too much to be loved, that voice is not your thoughts or the Holy Spirit's. It is the voice of the master of lies, Satan. When you are invaded by thoughts of condemnation or lust, rebuke them in the name of Jesus!! The Holy Spirit convicts you when you are guilty of sin, but never condemns you. If you just can't keep from stumbling in these sins, a fast may be the secret weapon you are looking for. I suffered from sexual lust and pornography and masturbation for a long time after being saved and I could not figure out why or how it was happening. For one, the Word of God must be deeply and intimately meditated on as often as you can, accompanied by fervent prayer. For me, the demonic chains/oppression of sexual immorality were not completely severed until I fasted. Fasting releases a powerful annointing upon the believer who is doing it to seek God's presence. Jesus fasted for 40 days before doing anything in His ministry. Moses fasted 40 days before receiving the Ten Commandments. In the Beattitudes, Jesus says, "WHEN you pray, WHEN you fast, and WHEN you give." Fasting has numerous supernatural benefits, although they are not the main reason to fast. Fasting, by Jentezen Franklin is a great book which explains further. If you can't quit and are at the end of your rope, a fast can cut the chains and silence the enemy. Pray and follow the Holy Spirit, I am praying for YOU.

Deliverance

Dear Joey,
I appreciate your plight and applaud your openness. Your quest for righteousness shall surely be rewarded. Just do not lose hope. Sometimes deliverance is not instant but is a process. It is written in the book of John 8:31-32, ......'If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.' In this statement, 'know' means 'interact with' as in having canal knowledge, so that liberty or freedom or deliverance is a product of such an interaction with the truth. Just know that the word of God is God and also Jesus is the truth.
And it is also written; 'For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged-sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow ;.....' Hebrews 4: 12,13.
Here, what is important to note is that, the word of God is able to work on its own. It is also able to identify the root of "bad plantings" and is also able to deal with them. Nothing is hidden from God no matter how cleverly it has been concealed.
You start by taking stock of your spiritual you. Are you born again? So that you have a secure position in God. That makes you a child of God and a child has rights.
Now then, you may start investigating the root of your problems by asking God. Another scripture here says "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks; the door will be opened. Which of you ,if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone." Mathew 7:7-9. When you start, God will lead you forth. First believe the word as it is written.

I feel exactly the same.

I feel exactly the same. Exactly. Feel like I cannot keep going back to God and saying sorry yet again! It completely cuts me off.
