Josh,
I read the first few and the last few posts regarding your dream/questions. I didn't want to read them all so I can try to explain something with all sincerity.

You keep asking the same questions....over and over. Yet you do not seem to advance.

I want you to be clear about something....You can't quit! On your own that is...

Sounds like you need a deliverance....I'm serious.

I used to smoke cigarettes...At one point I told myself that I liked to smoke even though I was on the praise team at church, so I would try to spray cologne on and eat altoids...people still smelled smoke on me.
So I tried to tell myself that I would quit to be "good" and impress God with my "Goodness" I would spend a few bucks on a pack of cigarettes and then crumble them up and throw them out the car window mid-pack. Then a couple hours later I would be at the store buying more cigarettes. Guess what happened after that... I would feel so guilty like I let Him down... The whole battle was in my mind.
One day I simply asked the Lord to deliver me. That night He gave me a dream and the next day I went to work and the dream came true while I was standing out front having a smoke. I looked at the cigarette and threw it in the bucket and have NEVER smoked or even craved a cigarette again. When people smoke around me I am not tempted and don't even think about smoking....It is truly like I have never smoked. I am totally free..

Here is my point.... You can't deliver yourself.... Read Isaiah 53:5 out loud over and over til you get it. Jesus did it all on the cross of Calvary and said "It is finished" He accomplished 100 percent of the Father's will for him. He is perfect. We have to lean on the perfection of Jesus...YOU have to lean on the perfection of Jesus..not Josh

thanks Larry, thanks everyone

i know God is Holy but He's not stupid...He knows we are hopelessly fallen due to Adam, that's why there is grace.

that's coming from so many accredited people like Joseph Prince, Kim Clement, and the Word itself.

when i said:

Secondly, does the Lord expect me to quit for good or just majorly reduce it?

i was talking about the ADDICTION

i'm NOT trying to justify the act here, just trying to figure out how to have peace since i unfortunately got addicted

From our end you ask all these questions...then when someone reaches out to you, you have all this wisdom and you know everything...

Kinda funny kid

because i'm still BOTHERED by all of this and everyone's Calling and Ministry is different, i don't know what mine is

again, hopefully i'll NEVER do it again...my dad is about to push me back in school, maybe i won't have time for Porn

my flesh/my body is going to get upset though at some point like it ALWAYS has due to going without Porn...that's the addiction

Here is a word for you Josh:

A rolling stone gathers no moss is an old proverb, credited to Publilius Syrus, who in his Sententiae states, People who are always moving, with no roots in one place, avoid responsibilities and cares. As such, the proverb is often interpreted as referring to figurative nomads who avoid taking on responsibilities or cultivating or advancing their own knowledge, experience, or culture.

moss
môs/Submit
noun
1.
a small flowerless green plant that lacks true roots

i know God is Holy but He's not stupid...

You say you "know", but do you "believe" He is not stupid?If you believe He is not stupid then why the dumb questions?

Quote:

Secondly, does the Lord expect me to quit for good or just majorly reduce it?

just trying to figure out how to have peace

After How many Scriptures???????/ After how much counsel??????? Surely you jest Josh.

You love this game and it's like a rolling stone that gathers no moss.

A new person, gives you their time in prayer, gives heart felt counsel and wisdom from the scriptures........... yet you advance with nothing. You said it yourself,

just trying to figure out how to have peace.

QUESTION: How many years have you been on this roll and yet still,

just trying to figure out how to have peace.

NO ONE is going to do it for you! You have already made your choice!

If I'm going to stop it has to be sincere. I do like it…even though that sounds messed up. My eyes, mind, something, doesn't want to live without it. This doesn't sound messed up, /quote]

it IS messed up.[

So now were back to this again huh Josh? This is old old old and this merry-go-round is about to be put to pasture.

again, hopefully i'll NEVER do it again...my dad is about to push me back in school, maybe i won't have time for Porn

my flesh/my body is going to get upset though at some point like it ALWAYS has due to going without Porn…that's the addiction

I sense NO resolve on your part here.

Read and BELIEVE

Matthew 14"Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15"Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

Psalm 119:9 How can a young person live a pure life? By obeying your word.

Dear Joshua, I have been praying for you today. The thought that came to my mind was: What do you love more? God or your addictions?

You say you do love your addictions and you want to be honest. However, you are also aware that you can't serve both God and your addictions. I have seen many times that you have looked for a compromise. You are trying to see if you can get by with cutting down your addictions. I know that you realize that this doesn't work. At some point you are choosing one or the other. So which do you love more?

"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

You can put any of your addictions in place anything in place of 'gods' Because really that is what these things are.

I pray that you do what Joshua of old did. He was known for accomplishing everything that God had called him to do. What a legacy. I believe that if you finally make that choice, without compromise, God will use you powerfully as well.

everyone's Calling and Ministry is different, i don't know what mine is

At present, your Calling and Ministry is simply to Praise and Worship the Lord
