Hello, my name is Reggie King and I live in Texas. I could write a book on my struggles with porn. I am now 68 years old, yet my obsession with sexual thoughts and insatiable desire for sexual gratification has plagued me since I was a preteen. I truly love Jesus Christ and my Father God, and I love my bible. I’ve studied and studied the word of God as mandated for a child of God: II Tim. 2:15., but I have learned that even if a person reaches the heights of being titled “A DR. of Theology”, (comment I am not but could be) this will not provide me the escape from bondage of sexual deviant obsession. I believe any sexual activity outside the confines of God’s marriage design is a sin. It violates Gods design for the institution of marriage. This sin of promiscuity is an attack on family, healthy relations with others and our selves. This sin is an attack on a persons soul and it is dangerous. Most importantly it thwarts a loving relationship with our Lord Jesus and Father. There are those, so called, mental health experts that profess that masturbation is not a sin. This is a lie taught by those who have been deceived by the son of the morning. Sexual sin is one of Satan’s Ace trump cards to destroy mans love for God and family. The sin of sexual immorality is an attack on the mandate to love the Lord thy God with all our mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbor as our self. O lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the arrogant pride of mans life.
Let me wrap up and say that I am now a registering sex offender for a 32 year old offense that resulted from a sick soul poisoned by masturbation. I have lost all my family and have no friends. I live alone and my greatest friend is Jesus yet I daily cry out for deliverance from the sin of porn and masturbation. I don’t assemble with other body of Christ members in a church building because the state of Texas requires I informed the church leaders that I am a registering sex offender. This is a stigma imposed by the state. They want people to view me as some kind of monster sex predator. BEWARE, PREDATOR AMONG US. I have a Philippine fiancee and child that I have supported for the past 11 years who reside in the Philippines. The USCIS has banned me from getting her to America on a marriage visa because they say I am dangerous. The list is long of the devastation that this sin can cause in a persons life. I am alone and I don’t want people to know my past. I could write a book of my life on this subject. Even after all the horrible destruction I have caused for those I love and lastly myself, I still struggle with this sin. I am lonely with tears. Thank you Jesus for your great love for me but I owe it to you to be the man you have called me to be. I look up this morning Lord, you are all that I will ever need says my soul, therefore I will always hope in you. Thanks for letting me share with you Blazing Grace.
