Let’s look at this overview conventionally.
Masturbation is the act of stimulating one’s own genitals for sexual pleasure, usually resulting in orgasm. It can also refer to stimulating another person’s genitals for sexual pleasure.
Explanation
Masturbation can be achieved through manual contact, instrumental manipulation, sexual fantasies, or a combination of these methods.
Masturbation is also known as organism.
Some types of masturbation include:
Self-abuse: Masturbating oneself
Frottage: Masturbating by rubbing against another person
Autoeroticism: Using one’s own body as a sexual object
History
Society’s attitude towards masturbation has changed over time. Some religions used to consider masturbation a sin, and some people still consider it wrong. Most people now understand that masturbation is a harmless part of life. Now, let’s overstep the boundary of this conventional overview. Let’s consider the godly perspective.
To an unbeliever, everything he does is harmless so far it’s satisfyingly enjoyable but what’s the spiritual state of an unbeliever?
He is blind.
2 Corinthians 4:3
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
2 Corinthians 4:4
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
He is dead in trespasses.
Ephesians 2:1
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;”
Ephesians 2:2
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
Ephesians 2:3
“Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”
He is alienated from the covenant of God.
Ephesians 2:12
“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and WITHOUT GOD in the world.”
He is Satan’s child.
Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.”
Saint John 8:44
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
Masturbation is a door path to demonic obsession. Another Spirit will take over the control of your life.
But in Christ Jesus, you’re quickened by the Holy Spirit. You’re washed by his precious blood. Reconciled with God. You are now the house of God. A Prince, A peculiar person, an Ambassador and a Son.
Ephesians 2:4
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.”
Ephesians 2:5
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)”
Ephesians 2:6
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
It’s not going to be your lifestyle anymore.
It’s a lifetime enemy you must resist in faith.
Flee anything or anyone that could trigger it.
Romans 6:11
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:12
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”
Romans 6:13
“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”
