The Demon of Pornography
Let me start by saying this clearly, there is nothing cute or harmless about watching porn. However, I want to speak with empathy to anyone caught in this cycle. If you’ve been misled and now feel trapped in the grip of pornography, unable to find a way out, I want you to know: you’re not alone. The stronghold may feel overwhelming, but there is hope. Today, I’m here to offer you encouragement and prayers to overcome pornography addiction. And more importantly, to remind you that freedom is possible, through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Why It’s Important to Overcome Pornography Addiction
Watching others engage in sex was never part of God’s divine plan. If it were, it would be clearly outlined in the Bible. Pornography is one of the enemy’s tools, designed to twist and pervert the beautiful gift of sex, which God created to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.
As Christians, we must wake up to this spiritual reality. Pornography is not just a “bad habit”, it’s a spiritual stronghold. It’s a form of idolatry that separates us from God’s presence. The Bible clearly states, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3 NIV).
When we engage in pornography, we are not only sinning physically, but spiritually. Sex within marriage is a form of worship to God. Therefore, any distortion of that, including pornography, becomes a form of worship to the enemy.

So, here are 6 Prayers that will help you break free from any stronghold of Sexual encounters that are outside of God’s design.
