If we compare Christian people with non-Christians we often don't really see a big difference. I can see many christians fighting against lust and temptation and they are falling into pornography so often or waste so many hours every day on their phone. And this affects every generation. It's a big problem of our modern time and we should rather do something, because this does not feel like the life in the fullness Jesus has promised us.
The only law Jesus wants us to do is: Love God and love your neighbor like yourself. That means that everything we do without love is a sin. And also the Bible warns us about sexual sin because we are literally destroying ourselves and pornography has nothing to do with true love. Also using Digital Media all day has also a serious impact on our mental health. So these things are bad to us and to the people we love. Why do we not just stop doing them?
It's not easy. It is a decision to love and love is not easy. We have to deeply understand that god loves us and then we will be able to love our neighbors like ourselves.
It's so easy to get quick dopamine kicks nowadays. You just have to take your phone and open TikTok and your brain will be instantly satisfied. But these short kicks will leave you more empty after a while. This kind of dopamine is unhealthy and our brains will get addicted so fast.
Watching pornography is disabling your ability to deeply connect with other people and your partner. You will treat the other gender more than an object than a real person and the more porn we watch the more dirty thoughts we have. It is making you unable to have good friend- and relationships.
The idea is to live together in a community and go through a program that will set people free and gives them all the skills they need to stay in freedom. For this I want to buy or rent a beautiful place with many opportunities to escape from the modern world. Maybe it will be just a house or a camp or maybe a castle. I don't know it yet, but the Idea is to be in God's nature, live with good friends and do goodly stuff together.
And while we are hanging out in this beautiful place, we gonna focus on our identity in christ and on our identity as a human on this earth. What do you want in life. We will discover new things and hobbies you can do instead of your addiction like skateboarding, playing soccer, building things in the reality, doing creative stuff and of course doing outreaches and helping all the people God loves.
This is the base idea of the House of Freedom program
Knowing the love of god surpasses all other knowledge. That's where everything begins. We have to know deeply in our hearts that we are loved by God and when we know that we are loved, we start being able to love others.
We have our identity in christ. Through the blood of Jesus we are no longer sinners. We are saints. Holy and perfect even when we fail, it doesn't matter. Also we should figure out who we are as a human on this earth. What do you want to do instead of following your addictions?
We start living like the person we already are. We are already saints and what we do will be become more holy everyday. And after figuring out what we want to do with our lives here on earth, we will start doing it.
We are not just doing the first 3 steps just to be free. The goal is to fulfill the law Jesus has given us. The Bible says us multiple times that love is the most important thing and it will stay forever.
House of Freedom probably needs a lot of time to became reality. But it is already starting now. I just want to start working in this kind of area by offering workshops, investing in disciples and learning more about the love of god to us and about the science behind all this stuff. But it is probably a long way until it is a big ministry. I need a team and a place and a plan and a lot of God's blessings.
