You have asked a powerful question. While most of my work is with men with addictions, my recommendation is to find a group like Exodus International. This is not a simple situation that I can just throw some scriptures at and say good luck. It is a multifaceted issue that will take time, help and patience to address. | ||||||
3 | HOW to renew mind | Rom 12:2 | tennis man | 222096 | ||
Hello there. I know we want some 3 step plan, but I think most of the time God wants us to work it out ourselves if we can. Some people simply need to be in submission to somebody else and stay there. But if a person is interested in moving towards spiritual maturity, our vices are usually the steps God will use to get us there. Remember God brought the animals to Adam to see what he would name them. God did not give him a plan or any other kind of assistance we know of. It was a great blessing for Adam to be given ownership of a problem and permission to struggle with the solution. The Holy Spirit will be your constant companion and will guide you into trusting Jesus through it all. Go for it! | ||||||

Thanks Brad. I am familiar with the psychology route and know all tools can be useful at times. But I joined this forum because I want to explore some scriptural applications. I am also familiar with the commonly used scriptures for change. But I've found it is easy for me to tell a man to meditate on scriptures and I'll see you next week. This does not address his many issues. Perhaps we could try with this beginning thought wondering why God said so little against multiple wives in the OT. Consider especially Solomon who had bad results but was not rebuked for having 1000 women which I fail to see that is any different than looking at porn. God's design was one man and one woman as Jesus said but lusty Samson is even mentioned in Heb. 11 as a hero of the faith. Now the standard answer is that was the OT and we are now in the NT and we are to live pure lives but that answer completely misses the question. This question may seem unrelated, but I'm trying to give a doorway into years of study on scriptural application. Thanks | ||||||

When a person suffers childhood trauma and grows into an adult and enters therapy, the counselor will often take them back gently and gradually as they are able to handle it through the trauma. In this controlled setting they can begin to relax the hold the event has over them through bad memories and learn new memories. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind with the word. Does anybody have experience working with people helping them build new lives in this way? | ||||||
