HOW TO DEFEAT PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION by Viny Georges BEKO

HOW TO DEFEAT
PORNOGRAPHY AND
MASTURBATION
The Lord’s Spirit has come to me, because he has
chosen me to tell the good news to the poor. The
Lord has sent me to announce freedom for prisoners,
to give sight to the blind, to free everyone who
suffers, and to say, “This is the year the Lord has
chosen.”
Luke 4:18-19

INTRODUCTION

I. How and Why I wrote this book
It all started after my conversion.
For the record, I was born into a Christian
family and from my childhood I was baptized with
water, therefore admitted into the family of the
children of God. But due to a lack of spiritual guidance
and follow up, I had really drifted away from God
while I was growing up. I was just an apparent
Christian, without any intimate relationship with Jesus
Christ, I even spent a full year without going to
church, but I was considering myself as a Christian.
So when the waves of pornography and
masturbation came into my life, they swept me away
like the tsunami devastates everything in its path,
because I did not weigh enough spiritually. I suffered
for a long time, yes! I suffered a long time from these
addictions since I was a child but I didn’t dare to say
it because it was stronger than me. From the day I
started with these practices until the day the Lord
delivered me, and even when I fell down again, I tell
you no one surprised me. So I didn’t give up because
my works were discovered but because I couldn’t take
it anymore. I wanted to be free, I was fed up. I was
looking for the one who could help me to get out of
there, but no one could listen to me because those
alarm cries were only in my heart, I was ashamed to
talk about it for fear of being judged and
misunderstood by others.
I suffered for a long time, I don’t know exactly
how many years, but I suffered from these things for
more than seven years.
I really knew that the enemy had imprisoned
me, but I was just relativizing my problem, I wasn’t
taking it too seriously. Even when I decided to take it
seriously, I would let go and sink deeper. Until one
day, thanks to a friend, I joined a prayer group in my
church. And that’s when the Lord set me free because
we were praying seriously. I understood then that
what I was missing during all these years of captivity
was a serious prayer life. Not just the habit of going
to Church on Sundays, but a personal and living
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Before I joined this group, I was just delaying
things. I could say, “I will go to prayer this week,” but
in the end I didn’t go. I felt very lazy when it came to
praying. It took me two months to finally get there.
Later I understood that this heaviness did not come
from God, it was a modus operandi of the devil to
prevent me from going to the place of my deliverance.
This can also be the case for you today. You make
decisions, but when you have to apply them you feel
very lazy. I would like to tell you that this does not
come from God.
I knew Jesus Christ only by name, but when I
began to pray seriously, He began to reveal Himself
to me, and today He is my Friend and I know Him,
not only by name but personally.
On my way, in search of deliverance from
pornography and masturbation, I met Jesus Christ.
When He delivered me, He washed me, He revealed
Himself to me, and I fell in love with Him, I now had
a deep desire to know Him and to know His word as
well. The logical consequence was that I had given up
my former life, and I consecrated my youth to Him
(Jesus Christ). This is how my life changed, this is how
He changed me, this is how I was converted years
after my baptism. Being baptized does not always
mean knowing Jesus Christ personally. After your
baptism you must seek God with all your heart.
After being delivered
First I knew how the Lord had freed me from
these addictions, then I knew that I was able to
seriously help others who are still under these yokes
of the enemy. But the problem was that I didn’t know
where to start. The longer it took me to take action,
the more I felt a great pressure on me to do
something for those who are still under the yoke of
pornography and masturbation.
So I decided to write something about how to
overcome pornography and masturbation based on
my experience. Before I had the idea of publishing only one article, but the more I wrote, the more pages
I was writing because I had a lot to say about it. What
was an article had turned into a small twenty-eight-
page book that I had published. Humbly I can say that
it was a success, and I will always thank God for the
feedback I received about the book. The Lord touched
and delivered many lives.
But as I reread this twenty-eight-page book, I
realized that I hadn’t said everything, or simply hadn’t
said certain things as I should have said them. Truly,
the Lord really opened my mind and explained to me
some deep things about how to overcome these
practices. By reading the experiences of others, by
listening to the cries of alarm of those who are still
under these yokes, I then decided to improve the
content of this twenty-eight-page book that I had
written, by adding to it what the Lord had explained
to me and what others had also experienced. This is
how this book was “born”.
The fall
There are things that hurt and sometimes you
can’t find words to express them because they are
painful. What I am going to tell you is a period that
has been really difficult for me in my walk with the
Lord, and especially as a servant of God.
After I was delivered and wrote the first edition
of this book, something horrible happened to me.
Something I never imagined. You know, when theLord gives a mission, He always gives directions to
follow to accomplish it. That was the case with me.
When He asked me to write this book, He gave me
directions to follow. Glory be to God, until it was
published I had tried to follow them. It was after the
publication of the book that the Lord had asked me to
withdraw in prayer for a while, I knew it and I felt it.
But I had not observed his recommendations. I
continued to promote the book, to tell people what to
do to be delivered from these yokes of the devil,
without respecting what the Lord was secretly
ordering me to do.
With my own intelligence, I told myself that the
ideal places to reach people held captive by these
practices were the pornographic pages on the social
network Facebook. And so, with no intention of going
to watch pornographic videos or images, I began to
visit these pages to urge these people and tell them
about the book. I thought I was strong enough to
never fall into pornography and masturbation again.
What madness! You see, the fall begins when one no
longer obeys the directives of the Holy Spirit. As I was
no longer in the will of the Lord, little by little I began
to slip, until I fell. It was humiliating and very painful,
the author of the book was himself on the
ground…disaster!
I had to get over it, because it had really hurt
my heart. I could feel some kind of wound in my
heart. But I had not kept my sin, I had confessed it.
Since I know how satan works, as long as you fight him in darkness, he will defeat you. To defeat him,
you have to take him into the light. And in this
struggle, the light is confession. As long as this sin is
hidden, it will never be defeated.
From this unfortunate history I’d like you to
remember three things. The first is that don’t joke
with your weaknesses, especially not sexual sin,
because the ones he brought down were spiritually
strong. Flee any opportunity for a fall, no matter how
small it is. The second is that our God is truly merciful
to those who return to Him with all their heart and
who now desire to walk in His ways. Whatever your
past, whatever life you lead now, if you decide to
come to God with all your heart, He will welcome you.
I myself am a witness of what I am saying. The third
thing is that during your process of deliverance, a fall
may happen, but never give up, continue the struggle
until you are totally free. My desire is for the Lord to
make you totally free as He has done with me. In
reality you are already free by the blood of Jesus
Christ, you just have to grasp your deliverance and
make it sit in your life.
Why did I write it?
First of all because the Lord made me
understand that I could help many people get out of
pornography and masturbation, thanks to what I
myself have experienced, and especially thanks to
what He explained to me.
Then I wrote it because when I was looking for
books that could help me overcome pornography and
masturbation, I couldn’t find any. If I found any, they
were too scientific, and I didn’t understand anything.
I was looking for practical things that could help me
get out of the hole I had thrown myself into and the
enemy had locked me in. So I said to myself, I would
write a book that could solve, as far as possible, the
problems I myself had encountered when I was
looking for books that could help me overcome
pornography and masturbation.
When I read some of the articles published on
this subject, I realized that the authors of the articles
were only talking about the problems. Almost all of
them said that pornography and masturbation were
sins before God, but they didn’t really offer readers
concrete solutions to overcome these addictions. This
is one more reason why I wrote this book. Through
the book, I will explain spiritual principles that will
help you overcome these things. I won’t be too
scientific, I’ll go straight to the point.
In fact, I wrote the book I would have liked to
read when I was under the yoke of pornography and
masturbation.

II. How can you get the maximum

benefit from this book?

  1. Have a deep desire to learn how to
    overcome these practices, otherwise it will
    be really difficult for you to benefit from
    what will be said in the following lines.

  2. First, start by reading each chapter quickly
    to get an overview. Don’t be in a hurry to
    move on to the next part. Go back and
    reread the same part carefully. This is how
    you will internalize what is developed there
    and it will help you put it into practice.

  3. Interrupt frequently to reflect on what you
    have just read. Ask yourself when and how
    you will be able to apply this or that
    suggestion.

  4. Check or underline the tips you plan to use.
    A book full of marks and annotations is
    much easier and faster to review.

  5. The speed with which we forget is truly
    astonishing. If you want to derive real and
    lasting benefit from this book, don’t think
    you’ll only have to go through it once. After
    studying it carefully, spend a few hours
    each month reviewing it. Keep it handy at
    all times. Remember that it is only by keeping these principles in mind that you
    will be able to apply them, I will say
    automatically or with less effort.

  6. Put the principles you find useful into
    practice at every opportunity. You may find
    it difficult to follow certain advice to the
    letter. I know this because sometimes it’s
    not always easy for me to put into practice
    what I myself have advocated. Therefore, it
    will depend on your personal possibilities of
    applying each principle. So these principles
    will not be burdens for you. Just be sincere
    to yourself.

  7. Monitor your progress weekly. Ask yourself
    what mistakes you have made, what
    progress you have made, what lessons you
    have learned. And what do you plan to do
    next time?
    In summary

  8. Have a strong desire to learn and
    apply what you read.

  9. Frequently interrupt your reading to ask
    yourself about your personal possibilities
    for applying what you are reading.

  10. Highlighting important ideas.

  11. Review the book every month.

  12. Putting principles into practice at every
    opportunity.

  13. Review your progress.

    III. Description of the book
    The book consists of nine chapters. Each
    chapter deals with a specific topic related to these
    addictions.
    In the first chapter I give you the moral
    situation of the world in which we live today. I show
    you how the devil is working hard to turn men away
    from the right path.
    In the same chapter I make you understand
    that the devil has no power over you because Jesus
    Christ has already defeated him at the cross. The
    price has already been paid, the enemy has already
    been defeated.
    I also tell you a little bit about my situation,
    when I was still under the yoke of these sins. I used
    to say to myself, "If I ever have to go to hell, it would
    be because of pornography and masturbation.”
    In the second chapter I answer the question
    "Is watching pornography and masturbating sinful? ».
    Since there are people who defend these things even
    among Christians.
    In the third chapter I talk about the causes that
    have pushed people towards pornography and
    masturbation.
    In the fourth chapter I talk about the lies of
    pornography. One of the biggest lies is that people
    are led to believe that they can use pornography to
    educate themselves sexually. It’s a big lie straight out
    of hell.
    In the fifth chapter I talk about the
    consequences of pornography and masturbation. The
    devil will destroy your life little by little if you don’t
    decide from the bottom of your heart to stop with
    these things.
    In the sixth chapter I explain how addiction to
    pornography is created both physically and spiritually.
    In the seventh chapter I describe what happens
    to you before and after you watch pornography and
    masturbate. I talk about how you ask the Lord for
    forgiveness, you promise him not to do that anymore,
    but a few days later you fall down again. I’ve been
    through all that. I’m giving you some advice that will
    help you get over it.
    In the eighth chapter I give you a practical
    guide to overcome pornography and masturbation.
    These are spiritual principles that helped me to
    overcome these things.
    In the ninth chapter you will find the
    testimonies of those who, in the past, were also in the
    same situation as you, but who were set free by the
    Lord Jesus Christ. I believe their testimonies will help
    you not lose heart and always believe that it is
    possible to live a life of sanctification through the
    power of the Holy Spirit. If Jesus set them free, why
    wouldn’t He do it for you? At the cross, He shed the
    same amount of blood for you and for them, and for
    me. The same grace that set us free is always
    available, it can also work for you.
    After the ninth chapter comes the conclusion
    of the book and the appendix. In the appendix you
    will find a model of prayer that I have proposed to you
    to spiritually fight these powers that block your
    blossoming. You will also find the answers to some
    questions still related to this fight against
    pornography and masturbation. Notably: how will you
    know that you are delivered? What to do to fight
    impure thoughts and impure dreams. What to do
    when you are a servant of God but you still practice
    these sins?
    Notice to the reader

  14. The biblical quotations are taken from the
    Contemporary English Version. If another
    version is used, this will be noted.

  15. We have no intention of telling you that this
    book holds a monopoly of knowledge about
    what is being done to defeat pornography
    and masturbation.

  16. If the Lord delivers you after reading this
    book, save us from the danger of stealing
    His Glory. It is to Him that you should give
    Glory, not to us.

  17. The name “satan” and any other name used
    to identify the enemy will all be written in
    lower case. We choose not to follow the
    grammar rule that recommends that proper
    nouns should always begin with a capital
    letter.

  18. You may notice that we have quoted the name
    “satan” a lot. This is not a way for us to give him
    glory or too much importance. It is precisely
    because when it is about him, we quote his name
    and that is all.
    I wrote this book so that after reading it, anyone who
    says he doesn’t know how to defeat pornography and masturbation will be taken for a liar! If you read this book
    to the end and then say that you don’t always know what
    to do to overcome these practices, Jesus will tell you that
    you are a liar!
    Enjoy your reading!
