Greetings and thank you for this time with you, to be able to bring God's word and spend a few moments in prayer. This week, we are talking about overcoming pornography. One of the first steps as we journey into a place of complete deliverance is to confess and to consecrate. There are three kinds of confession that I want to bring our attention to. First, there is the confession of sin that means we go before God and say God, I confess that I'm involved in this thing that is not pleasing to you and it's addictive to me, it's enslaving me, I confess it, it's sin, I call sin by its name and I say, Lord, I ask you to cleanse me and I ask you to release me. Second, there is a confession of consecration that means we need to say with our mouths that our bodies are dedicated to God. So, as you confess consecration, that your appetites, your sexual appetites, your sexual desires, your thoughts, your minds, your imagination, your body is consecrated to God, you need to say it, then it's going to break off all the things that are holding you in these areas and consecrate ourselves before God. So, there's a confession of consecration. We say who we are dedicated to, we say who is our Lord. Thirdly, there's a confession of our identity in Jesus that means we confess or we declare what God has done for us in Christ. I want to remind us of two scriptures in Romans chapter 6, verses 6, 7 and 14, the Bible says, ‘that the old, sinful man was crucified, so that the power of sin over our lives will be broken and we who are dead are free from sin.’ Verse 14 says, ‘sin will not have any dominion over you.’ So, we need to confess that, that's part of our identity in Christ, that in Christ, we are free from sin and no addictive behavior can control us. So, we begin with this, there's a confession of sin, there's a confession of our consecration to God and there's a confession of our identity in Christ. So, what God has made available to us in Christ and in this context, God has made complete freedom from sin available to you and me as a believer. Pornography does not need to control you, you can live absolutely free, completely free from this addiction. Let's pray together, Father, we thank you that when we confess our sins, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. Lord, we confess that we consecrate our mind, our emotions, our appetites, our body to you. We declare that you are our God and our whole being, spirit, soul and body is consecrated to you and we also confess that we are free from the control of sin, sin will not have any dominion over us. We are free because Jesus has set us free, we thank you for this, in Jesus’s name, Amen,
