What Would Jesus Have to Say About It?: Christians & Masturbation

Masturbation is a very serious matter that many of us do not want to talk about in the church. Nonetheless, it is a reality for countless confessing Christians who have been overtaken in this 'private' act of self pleasure that has left them riddled with feelings of guilt, shame, and for some, they have totally backslidden and been overtaken with demon spirits of perversion and lust. Yes! Demons are real people! They are very real! Where do you think Hollywood is getting there ideas from that exalts evil and demon possession? Who do you think has taken over that man walking down the street cussing and beating at the air?

There are those who consider masturbation a "healthy habit." Why? Because they like what they do. Self indulgence is what they live for, but let me cut to the chase and ask this one question before we go any further....would you have sex with yourself in front of God?

When you indulge in sexually arousing yourself, it is ALL about SELF! That is the problem! To much desire to please self is precisely the reason many are riddled with pain and suffering after we do what we want, with who we want, disregarding the potentially hazardous consequences that can thrust you into bondage to sexual desires and perversion that cannot be easily quenched. Then you have a serious problem on your hands. Especially if you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

If you are a man constantly touching yourself sexually, if not careful, it won't matter who touches you, male or female. You become addicted to sexual pleasure and release. Here lies the potential danger of mental distortion and perversion that can enter your heart and thrust you into desiring men and/or women to quench this unbridled lust of the flesh. Masturbation is DANGEROUS! Dangerous! Dangerous!

I recall a woman who was totally backslidden in her confession of faith in Jesus Christ. She became addicted to masturbation, pornography and sex. She was totally demon possessed, by the time I met her at a church revival where I was teaching. Out of a desperate cry for help, she told me these evil spirits were having sex with her at night. YES! Demons will take over your body and manifest in you if you give them passage by doing what God forbids.

There are countless people who are demon possessed. They will tell you they are hearing voices and in this case, they were sexually harassing her at night. I know for some of you that will read this article, it is hard to believe, but my dear Friend, this is real as it gets! This is not the kind of thing that members of your church are going to get on the microphone and testify about!

This woman is one of several others I have met in my journey with Christ who was taken captive by unbridled lust and sexual perversion. She wanted to be free. She asked me to come and pray for her. She was trying to get back to God. She needed deliverance. I took my 'anointing oil.' YES! I said anointing oil! I had a talk with God about it, and knew I had to go and help this sister in the Name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and God did set her free. BUT, she had to close those doors that opened her soul to these evil spirits.

If you are indulging in sexually arousing yourself, and you want to be free, YOU MUST SHUT OFF the windows and gates to your soul.... Your eyes and your ears. You MUST eliminate ALL sexual images and music that has defiled you. What you see and hear does affect you tremendously. Hey! You gotta turn that computer off!! And if you gotta' get a new cell phone number to CUT OFF those men and women who are tempting you to lust and play jeopardy with your eternal soul......HEY!!! So Be It! Get a new phone number! This is just the beginning to gaining power over your body and soul. Some would ask, what if i am single and want to have sex? My dear Friend, right now you are SINGLE....PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! You can do this! Do not remain a slave to the fleeting feelings of pleasure. God has a work for you to do. You can overcome! You MUST overcome if you plan on spending eternity with God.

Our body IS the temple of the Holy Ghost!

Let no one deceive you with humanism and philosophy! Masturbation is sin! It is perversion! Some are using 'battery' operated objects to arouse themselves? This is not natural whatsoever. This IS DANGEROUS! It is a potential gateway to spiritual destruction! It is nothing to play with my Friend!

The secular world makes light of this act of self pleasure. They have no shame about it, in fact it has been declared by some during the month of May, the month to celebrate masturbation.

There are those who will attempt to justify masturbation as a necessary act to release sexual tensions and stress. Some will even propose that the Scriptures are silent about self pleasure, the same as those who will tell you that smoking cigarettes and drinking wine coolers and snorting cocaine is not in the scriptures. Come on my brothers and sisters, Come on Now! You know better!

I am not going to attempt to exhaust this article with wasted words. Let me just ask this one question again:

Would you have sex with

yourself in front of Jesus?

If you are addicted to masturbation, pornography or any other sexual perversion and you want to be free, confessional prayer to God (Make sure you read my Blog on "The Big Lie About Prayer), fasting and prayer is your answer my Friend!

You MUST submitt yourself to God. You MUST hold yourself accountable to Him WITHOUT fear and shame. PLEASE! Listen to me and understand, God is God! He already knows what you have been doing! He is patiently and lovingly waiting for you to come to Him for forgiveness and healing.

Use the Blood of Jesus to Cleanse Yourself! This is precisely why Jesus died for you my Friend!!

God is merciful! Call upon Him! Do Not run away from Him. Ignore feelings of shame and condemnation!! Masturbation was nailed to the Cross! Jesus Loves You My Friend! Get Up! Look Up! Submit yourself to God and Resist the Devil, and he will flee from You! Set Your Mind on Things Above. Remember always.... Jesus Blood is ALL Powerful to cleanse you from all sin and restore you back to God.

1John 2:1

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Halleluja! Rejoice! Jesus already covered your sin my Friend! Now Go boldly to God and ask for forgiveness! Pull yourself together! Jesus Paid it ALL! All includes sexual perversion! Forgive yourself. Let it Go my Friend, LET IT GO!

Jesus IS the Lover of your soul!
