David in Maine,

I am 45 years old and have only this year begun to walk in the freedon from Sexual addiction that Christ purchased for us on the cross. Our old man died on the cross with Jesus, but we still live in fleshly bodies and have to combat our flesh each day. Luke 9:23 tells us to take up our cross DAILY. The cross signifies DEATH. Death to our sinful, fleshly nature. We have to ask ourselves sometimes....do I love God and desire to obey His commands or do I love the desires of my flesh more. There is a book called "the Adversary" by Mark I. Bubek that you can find on Amazon that will be of great help to you in finding what the Word of God has to say about your flesh, the world and the enemy. It has helped me more than any book I have ever read with the exception of God's Holy Word. Do not hate yourself for your weaknesses. Hate the sin...but do not hate yourself...that is what the enemy wants you to feel about yourself. My email is rollinu42@yahoo.com. You can contact me if you need someone to talk to and I would very much like to hear from you as God sets you free from these addictions...which He will if you submit yourself fully to His Holy Spirit. May God richly bless you as you give yourself fully to Him.

Your brother in Christ,
Steve
