California Teacher's Testimony
I became first involved before I was saved, in high school in the influence of other boys, stealing porn magfazines from a store. That lead to other sins, including fornication. Once I came to the Lord, I was delivered from the desire for pornography for a long time, for I knew it was wrong, and at the time (well before PC's and the internet) it was not so commonly available. This lasted until the information superhighway was developed (not by AlGore) when, as a byproduct of getting shareware and shared files, I got glimpses of porn ads in the illegal pirate websites. This caused desire, which led to intermittent fulfillment of that desire by going to the porn sites. I knew it was wrong, and had a filthy feeling when i left the sites, but the desire would return when I thought I could sneak online when my wife and kids were not home. I know that I was hurting them, especially when my son got involved in it as well.
The lessons offered here are how I got the victory again, for the lessons spelled out specifically how God wants us pure. Though the desire isn't completely gone, and I must be on guard always, I am free from the feeling of shame from the action of sexual sin. That alone is well worth the victory over my flesh and it has made me a more joyous Christian. Thank you for the lessons and the monitoring of my replies.
