Pornography
and Satan’s Trap
The
pornographic industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that works by bringing
both men and women into satanic bondage. Sadly, it is one of the most popular
industries in the world. It is a snare of the devil and a deadly trap for those
caught up in its web.

I (the
author) am writing this article because God delivered me from this evil trap a
few years ago and I want to encourage men (and women) to get out of this snare
of the devil. I have learned that this trap will literally bring the souls of
men (and women) down to Hell. That is the devil’s plan and sadly, it is
working. But, God can reverse it. God only can set a man or woman caught up in
this trap free. In this article, we will find out how to get free from the grip
of pornography.
Pornography
is an addiction that 70% of men from 18 to 34 are caught up in (1). More than 72
million people view adult websites worldwide
each month (1). Over 50% of pastors in America say that pornography is a
possible temptation (i.e. they are admitting that they have a problem) (2).
Fifty percent (50%) of all Christian men surveyed admit that they are addicted
to pornography (2) and 20% of all Christian women admit they are addicted (2).
Pornography
has its clutches over many, many people around the world. It is an evil and
harmful addiction which has destroyed many marriages and destroyed many men’s
souls. How is this so?
Jesus Christ
said…
Matthew 5:28-29
28 But I say unto
you, That whosoever looketh
on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart.
29 And if thy right
eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Jesus is saying to get rid of what
tempts you to sin (i.e. what offends you). Proverbs 7 talks more about this.
Please take the time to read, seek God, and think about this.
Proverbs 7:1-5
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with
thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of
thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of
thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding
thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the
stranger which flattereth with her words.
The strange
woman is the harlot, or the prostitute, or the image of a woman that a man is
lusting after. This prostitute tells the man “Come, let us take our fill of love….”
Proverbs 7:18-27 (bold / underline added)
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let
us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home
at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with
the flattering of her lips she forced him.22 He goeth after
her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the
correction of the stocks;23 Till a dart strike
through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it
is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend
to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in
her paths.
26 For she hath cast
down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the
way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
This is very
serious. “He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, […]
as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.” And
there are eternal consequences for committing fornication, lust, or adultery
(including pornography): “Her house is the way to hell, going down to the
chambers of death.”
The New
Testament also gives a strong warning.
