when someone sins (masterbate, watches porn whether homosexual or straight porn)... i understand people make mistakes (as the bible states we will fall short of the Glory of God, but we get back up)
well when a Christian has be set free from pornography (whether straight porn or homosexual porn) sins by watching porn, and realizes again that He/She was wrong....
and Askes God With a sincere Heart, To Forgive then and then repents.
does He/She need to be Delievered Again??? or Doesn't....
i have to admit... i was free from porn for two years...and i have to admit i had seen a few last year and this year.. cause i gave in to my flesh and i know we fall short of the Glory of God, and I admit i was wrong to watch it.. :( .. i did in fact ask God for Forgivness and repented... and now i havn't watched it for a long time now.... thank God...
do i need to be delievered again (cast out spirits)????
cause i remember my pastor giving US a prayer of deliverance and i lost it... ???????????

Asking God for forgiveness, with true repentance is all you have to do. The more you worry about it the stronger it will get. God will heal you from this problem just give it to him. When you stumble it affects your fellowship with God, not your salvation.

Hey man. I'm a Catholic in case you wondered my perspective. These sins can be difficult to get out of because nature pulls you toward to good of sex which is meant to bring life. This type of sin illustrates well why we need Christ. I totally understand the struggle you are talking about. Tell the Lord you are sorry when this happens and pray for the strength to conquer it. You will always have the grace to overcome the sin, but for some reason we just don't at times. Jesus wants to heal you completely of sin and it's effects and will always.
I must say, guilt can also be difficult to overcome as one of the answerers said. There is teaching I think of sometimes when it comes to guilt and sin. It is the teaching of purgatory. There is a reason for peace when understanding purgatory. I understand many don't believe in it, but it is a good place where people who have made it and love God, yet still have something to purify. If you understand this teaching, it can help because it helps with understanding salvation. There are some sins that don't have that black and white feel to them and it can make you worry. You won't come out "until you pay the last penny" is one scriptural quote in case you are interested. It really helps to understand that God does want us to be perfect, and it may appear sometimes we have not "worked out our salvation" on earth. Thinking about purgatory and understanding it can help with repentance but without despair. It really is a teaching that is more merciful then is popularly understood.

try not confuse the two worlds. take care of business, however, try to remember that there is a higher side to yourself. the only mistake is in thinking that you do make mistakes. if your god is all loving I am sure he can forgive you, but only if you forgive yourself. Its all good.

I think only you can decide how problematic your problem is, and whether you need deliverance....talk to your pastor....
yes.... you are still forgiven as long as you regret having done anything wrong,,,,,,but we are still in this flesh....our spirits are saved but our flesh is not.....so we will always have issues like this until we have a glorified body......so yes, we can lose a deliverance.
we cannot be possessed by demonic influences, but we can be oppressed by them as well.....

If only you would eliminate all gods from your imagination, all this mind-war would cease, as you would only be left with your own moral decisions.
I'm not sure whether you are male of female, probably male ... so get a girl-friend FAST!
Dump religion! It's screwing with your brain!

Huh?
Feeling guilty over having a sex drive, which is natural.
Relax, man.
