Say "NO" to Pornography...

Hi ....

It's said...

"What we tolerate we cannot change."

Pornography is something we should not tolerate.

It's sad to see soo many young and old alike are hooked on to pornography.

Each soul is precious to our Lord.

Our Lord said we are the 'light'.

Ephesians 5 : ⁸For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light ⁹(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) ¹⁰and find out what pleases the Lord. ¹¹Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. ¹²For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. ¹³But everything exposed by the light becomes visible.

We just can't sit back and say, 'It's not my concern'.

We can't change it if we tolerate it.

  We got to stand up and speak against things that are not right and also pray about it. We got to do something about it.

We got to help people struggling in this area, to break free from this addiction.

We got to say "NO" to pornography.

Because it...

It's addictive...

Distorts one's thinking...

Degrades ones mind...

Dominates one and makes him a slave to it (Rom 6:16)

Destroys individuals, homes, communities.

Defiles relationships, body, mind, heart.

Can we pray against this and do something to change this?

Can we help people we know struggling with this addiction?

If someone out there is watching pornography in secret, know that it's time to say NO.

Reach out for help and prayer and resist this temptation.

With God's help you can...

YSIC,

Julie

Testimony of a former porn actress.

I am a former porn actress and prostitute from the 90's who was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depressive Disorder, Impulse Control Disorder and substance abuse due to years of trauma from the sex industry, although while I was in the sex industry I had no idea I had these disorders. I was prescribed anti-depressants, Lithium, and sleeping pills and recommended counseling for the next twenty years!
The doctor's diagnosis only sent me into deeper depression and I knew there was nowhere to turn except to a God who loved me and had the power to heal me.
After finding God and going through eight years of recovery at the Champion's center, I conquered the horrible effects of my past and became a Champion in life through the power of Jesus Christ. Ten years later I am on a passionate mission to help people transform their lives by offering love, acceptance and powerful resources to equip people to live Champion lives.
I'm also on a mission to smash the illusion of porn so people will stop viewing porn and stop contributing to the destruction of the lives of men and women in the adult industry.
I also want to protect children from accessing pornography online, to rescue sex workers from human trafficking and to expose the truth that many men and women are forced to work in hazardous working conditions in the unregulated and unsanitary adult film industry.  My heart is to be an advocate for those who work in the adult industry by educating them with the truth and protecting them from sexually transmitted diseases and other harmful risks.
FACTS ABOUT PORN:
People pay more money for pornography in America in a year than they do on movie and performing arts tickets. There were 11,000 porn video titles released last year verses 400 movie releases from Hollywood. The porn industry employs over 12,000 people in California and pays over $36 million in taxes every year. According to Web sense, a company that tracks Internet content, the number of porn sites is 17 times greater than it was four years ago, growing from about 88,000 sites in 2000 to nearly 1.6 million in 2004. THE LARGEST GROUP FOR VIEWING PORN IS AGES 12 - 17. We've got to protect children!
Pornography is big business.
It is estimated that there are 4.2 million porn Web sites — 12 percent of the total amount of sites — allowing access to 72 million worldwide visitors monthly. One-quarter of total daily search engine requests, or 68 million, are for pornographic material, where 40 million Americans are regular visitors. Porn is the number one mental health issue in America. Men are losing their families and jobs. Wives are totally devastated their husbands are addicted to porn. Teenagers are learning sexuality from porn and practicing hardcore sex acts on each other. Porn stars are addicted to drugs and infected with sexually transmitted diseases. In 2007, there were nine deaths of porn industry workers directly related to AIDS, suicide and drug overdoses. 66% of porn stars are infected with Herpes although some porn stars blatantly admit it's more like 90%. Other porn stars admit that 90% of porn performers use drugs. Young girls dream of becoming porn stars and living the "glamorous" life. But the truth is...
Porn is Not Glamorous.
I should know.
After surviving several suicide attempts, alcoholism, drug addiction and eight hard years of recovery from the porn industry and prostitution, God restored my life through His amazing love! After learning the truth about Jesus Christ and being restored emotionally, spiritually and physically, God sent me out to share my story of transformation in prisons and rescue missions.
Two years after I began sharing my story, God told me to put up a web site in 2004. I had NO idea that thousands of people would actually find it and that my story would touch so many lives. I am humbled and amazed that
God even uses someone like me.
 I truly hope my web site and this myspace inspires every single one of you to reach out to God and believe in Him to do the impossible in your life. Whether you're struggling with porn addiction, sexual trauma, depression or a broken heart, with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I also want you to know, no matter how far you've strayed or how deep in sin you are, God will pull you out if you want Him to! If He heard the prayers of a desperate porn actress and saved her, SURELY He will do the same for you! "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
God loves you whether you're a porn star or a porn addict and He has an awesome destiny for your life. If only you will call on the name of Jesus, God's plan for your destiny, and ask Him to save you and help you, He will!
After turning back to God, He healed me completely of: Genital Herpes, Alcohol Addiction, Meth and Drug Addiction, Sex Addiction, Tormenting Images of Porn, Mental Disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Severe Depression, Bi-Polar Disorder, sexual dysfunction and early Cervical Cancer caused by sexually transmitted disease.
Jeremiah 30:17 "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an outcast."
He is the God that restores outcasts!
