这里有很多人, 包括基督徒, who watch porn on television or on the internet or buy pornographic literature and delight themselves in what they see. They feed their mind with these erotic images that stir up sexual feelings and create sexual fantasies in their mind. But what happens in the spiritual realm, when someone watches pornography and feeds his or her mind with these sexual images? What are the spiritual effects of watching pornography in someone’s life and what is the effect of watching pornography on marriages? What is the effect of pornography on our society? What does the Bible say about pornography? Can a Christian watch pornography or is watching pornography a sin? What is the danger of pornography that many people are not aware of?
What happens in the spiritual realm when someone watches pornography?
What happens in the spiritual realm when you watch pornography? If you watch porn, a spirit of witchcraft and a spirit of lust will enter your life. The spirit of witchcraft, because you keep watching pornography and become addicted to pornography.
The first result of the spirit of lust will express itself in masturbating. You will get sexually excited by what you see and to satisfy your sexual feelings you will 手淫. When you masturbate and get an orgasm you have obeyed the demands of this spirit of lust, who has entered your life. This spirit of lust shall rule over you and control your life.
When an unclean spirit of lust controls your life, you will not be able to live without pornography anymore. You shall watch pornography more often or watch more extreme forms of porn and become addicted to porn. Because this spirit of lust must be satisfied.
Maybe you will even visit pornographic websites, where you can participate online via webcam and have cyber sex.
You will become addicted to sex and porn. The more you give in to it, the more sexual cravings, and the need for sex you will have.
What is the spiritual danger of pornography in marriage?
When you are married and watch porn, you want to have more often sex, and your sex life will become more extreme. Maybe your spouse is not able to fulfill your sexual needs anymore or you become bored with your spouse and commit adultery (淫乱).
When you are controlled by a spirit of lust, you will become a slave of sexual lust and you shall have no control over your sexual feelings anymore. This shall eventually destroy your marriage.
Why will this destroy your marriage? Because you will not be satisfied with just one partner anymore but you will need more partners to fulfill your sexual needs. Maybe you will even experiment with someone from your own gender. You will commit adultery or visit prostitutes or go to sex parties or other group sex events, 或者…
These evil forces of darkness will reign over you and you’ll become a slave to sex. Only because you were curious and watched pornography secretly.
What is the world’s view on pornography?
Most people, who live without Jesus Christ, consider porno normal. They think it’s okay to watch pornography. What used to be forbidden in the old days has become completely normal in today’s world. People are not ashamed anymore but talk and write openly about pornography.
很多人, who are married, consider pornography an addition to their sex life. Most unmarried people consider pornography, in combination with masturbating, as a source to fulfill their sexual needs. It has all become very normal. But as soon as they watch porn, their mindset on intimacy and sex becomes perverted.
What is the result in our society, that more and more people become involved with pornography?
The role of sex in society
What you sow is what you reap and that’s exactly what is happening in today’s society. We see an increase in sexual uncleanliness. When you turn on the television, almost every program, broadcast, (real-life) soap, movie, or commercial is sexually oriented.
You can’t watch a program without sexual content and without sexual remarks and jokes. The world enjoys these remarks and jokes and shares them with others.
Sex plays a big role, because sex attracts, sells, and therefore sex is lucrative.
Our whole society is sexually oriented. We not only see this on television, but we see it all around us in our daily life: 在广告中, billboards, in (e-)杂志, 图书, theaters, movies, 音乐, 衣服, conversations, 在上班, school, ETC.
Children at school are not discouraged and forbidden to have sex. They’re not taught to wait until they get married. But they are taught to use a condom when they have sex. The teachers encourage them to have sex, by telling them that it’s okay to have sex as long as you use a condom. According to the world, a condom makes it all right to have sex. How crazy is that?
The danger of pornography and the effect of pornography on society
People think that watching pornography is harmless, but that’s not true. The thing is, that many people live without God and are carnally minded and live after the flesh in the visible realm, instead of being spiritually minded and living after the Spirit in the spiritual realm. They don’t have any discernment of the spiritual realm.
They see all the misery of (性的) 虐待, (性的) 暴力, epidemics, diseases, ETC。, and an increase in sexual uncleanliness around them, but they don’t see the cause.
An increase in sexual violence
Worldwide, we see an increase in sexual abuse and sexual violence. We see an increase in sex trafficking, child prostitution, sexual child abuse, pedophilia, and sex with animals.
But we also see an increase in sexual uncleanliness and perversion like masturbation, living together unmarried, 婚前性行为, one-night stands, committing adultery, 淫乱, having multiple sexual relationships even outside marriage, partner swap, 群交, visiting a prostitute, 同性恋, transgender, ETC.
All these sins take place because people have abandoned God and rejected His Word.
很多人, don’t walk after the Word and the Spirit, but they are carnal and are led by their flesh and by the spirit of this world. In this case, they are led by a spirit of (性的) 情欲. And it will only increase and get worse.
Sex tourism
Many people are against sex trafficking and child prostitution and are disgusted by the sexual abuse and violence done to children. But meanwhile, at home, they watch pornography of young adults, teenagers, and maybe even children and enjoy what they are watching.
And what about sex tourism? How many people book a vacation to countries like for example Thailand or the Philippines, just because of their prostitution and to have (perverted) 性别? How many people visit these countries to have sex with young girls and/or young boys?
Human trafficking
There are many pimps, who catch innocent girls and boys into their web of sexual uncleanliness. They enslave these girls and boys into a life of prostitution. They become sex slaves and become victims of child pornography or are sold and given to people, who are possessed with a spirit of lust and let them abuse and rape these innocent children.
These pimps exist because they get a lot of money for fulfilling the needs of people, who are possessed by a spirit of lust. These poor girls and boys become victims of our world’s perverted society, which has opened its doors for pornography.
People accuse these pimps, instead of looking at the cause: society and its sexual needs. If the demand of people would stop then these pimps would be left without a job and wouldn’t harm innocent children anymore.
The spirit of lust in the Church
But not only the people, who live without God, watch pornography, and live in sexual uncleanness. There are a lot of carnal ‘Christians’, who claim to know Jesus Christ and serve Him, while in secret they watch pornography and are involved in sexual uncleanliness, and are controlled by this spirit of lust.
是的, this spirit of lust has entered many churches. There are many church members, deacons, elders, pastors, evangelists, 先知, and apostles, who are led by a spirit of lust and watch porn in secret or other erotic programs, 系列, movies, ETC.
They are not led by the Spirit of God, but by the spirit of this world, which is in this case, a spirit of lust. These seductive spirits have free rein during services, conferences, seminars, ETC.
There are many deacons, elders, pastors, 先知, evangelists, ETC。, who watch porn and/or 手淫 or even secretly commit adultery, while during service they lay hands on believers (IE. during an altar call), and because of the laying on of hands, they transfer this spirit of lust upon believers.
But the transfer of a spirit of lust will not only take place by the laying on of hands, but also by speech.
When a pastor, prophet, apostle, ETC. preaches in church but has a spirit of lust and lives in sexual uncleanliness, then this unclean spirit of lust will be transferred to the whole congregation.
The whole congregation will be captivated by this spirit of lust. This will be manifested by an increase of (hidden) sexual impurities in the church, like sexual thoughts, masturbating, living together unmarried, sexual relationships without being married, 通奸, 淫乱, cheating, 同性恋, pedophilia, ETC.
Unclean spirits have free admission to the church
Many churches are carnal and preach and live after the flesh, 代替 the Spirit. 正因为如此, these unclean spirits are not discerned and have free admission to the church and the lives of Christians.
Just look at the 许多 church leaders, who are possessed by a spirit of lust and commit adultery or sexually abuse children. They are controlled and led by their feelings of lust and obey them.
How many churches fall apart and are destroyed by sexual scandals? Just because the carnal minister was led by a spirit of lust and couldn’t control his or her sexual feelings and had to satisfy his or her sexual needs. Fulfilling their sexual need is more important to them than being the Word of God (另请阅读: ‘你能抗拒诱惑吗?')
The devil has built his throne in many churches
The devil has built his throne in many churches, while the believers were, 并且仍然是, sleeping. They are not aware of what is going on. 多年来, many boundaries have shifted. Little by little the church has watered down the gospel and metaphorically and literally put water into the wine.
Many churches have become like the world and have nonmarital sex, live together unmarried, 手淫, 离婚, have abortions, 通奸, accept 同性恋, transgender, ETC (另请阅读: ‘教堂坐落在黑暗中‘ 和 ‘The throne of satan')
They’ll do what they want to do and accept all the things of the world and use the words grace 和 love to make it all right.
这 Word (耶稣) is repudiated from many churches. The world (恶魔) reigns in the lives of many people, 自称为基督徒的人. Many Christians think they live according to the will of God. 但反而, they live in a lie and are on their way to hell.
Because the Word, 耶稣, 说:
因此，要克制你们在地球上的成员; 淫乱, 不洁, 过度的感情, 恶欲, 和贪婪, 这是偶像崇拜: For which things ‘sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them (歌罗西书 3:5-7)
圣经说, that you have to mortify the members that are on the earth, like fornication, 不洁, ETC. Instead of feeding them, by giving in to these feelings of lust and desire and being like the world, you should resist them.
“Let fornication, all uncleanness or covetousness not be named among you”
The Word even says, that these things, may not be even named among the believers:
But fornication, 和一切不洁的事, 或贪婪, 不要让它在你们中间被提及, 成为圣徒; 既不污秽, 也不是胡言乱语, 也不开玩笑, 哪些不方便: 而是表达感谢. 为此你们知道, 没有娼妓, 也不是不洁净的人, 也不贪婪的人, 谁是偶像崇拜者, 在基督和神的国度中有任何继承权 (以弗所书 5:3-5)
Hey, where did the grace and love go? (另请阅读: ‘What is false love?‘ 和 ‘‘Lost in the sea of grace', ‘Can you keep sinning under grace?')
Many Christiansthink 他们 know 上帝, but they don’t know the will of God. Because when you look at their lives and their walk they don’t live and walk according to the will of God. What is the will of God?
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit(1 帖撒罗尼迦人 4:3-8)
Turn to Jesus Christ and repent of your works
The only way to stop the increase of sexual uncleanliness is to turn to Jesus Christ. Ask forgiveness to God and悔改 of your works. Be cleansed of 全部 your iniquities and sins, by the precious blood of Jesus. Become 重生 and walk as the 新创作 after the Spirit.
When you become born again and 更新你的想法 与神的话语, then you shall think, act, 和walk after the Word (耶稣), and live after the Spirit.
You shall submit yourself, and become obedient to the whole Word of God. You shall live after His will, instead of your will.
Only when you keep walking after the Spirit, you shall stay free from the bondage of the devil.
This I say then, 顺着圣灵而行, 不可放纵肉体的情欲. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would (加拉太书 5:16-17)
当你跟随圣灵而行时, the Spirit will reign in your life, instead of your flesh. You shall keep yourself and flee from (性的) uncleanliness and fornication.
But as soon as you start walking after the flesh, and give into pornography and sexual uncleanliness, you shall become bound by the powers of darkness. These evil powers shall control your life and will cause destruction and eternal damnation.
When the Spirit reigns in your life and you keep walking after the Spirit, you shall live in true freedom.
