So I have avoided watching porn for a while now. However the devil keeps tempting me with the memories of the old pornographers I use to watch. How do I remove the porn that’s ingrained inside?

As in you don't remember anymore? I think what's more important is what Hebrews 9:14 means, how your conscience is clean if you ask for forgiveness and repent through Christ/Holy Spirit. The devil reminds me sometimes of my past porn addicted life, but I remind myself of Hebrews 9:14.

Well have you apologized to those women and asked God to cut any soul ties that may have been formed? You can apologize to God if you haven't already, especially since you don't know them. Whatever your mind is focused on will probably bring up images related. Resist them if you don't want them. If you meditate on God's will all the time it should help you know what to do and how to act and get focus off of things that are not good. What is good in God's eyes? You need to know all of God's character to know what is good and of His will. Think about charity and righteousness and truth. There are a lot of scriptures but i will post some. Do what Yeshua says to do in the gospels and build your house on the rock. Romans 12 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 1 Corinthians 13 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8)

I'm a female, so I don't really wish to delve into this topic in depth. However, as a female let me say this - each woman that you (general 'you', anyone) have ever fantasized about or seen is someones daughter, a precious soul who is being exploited, oftentimes against her will. Think of it this way, and the idea (aka lust) won't be so appealing!

If you had ANY idea how exploited and abused and taken advantage of these women are (even the ones who are manipulated into thinking they are doing it because they want to), you would GRIEVE in your spirit for them and pray GOd to rescue them out of this bondage.

Rebuke the thoughts in the name of Jesus. Say it out loud if it helps and increases your faith. Your mind is God’s territory and the devil seeks to take it. Anytime I have a wicked thought (I struggle with condemnation along with other things, but not for long!) I rebuke it, and if I have the presence of mind at the moment, I’ll torture the demons that put those thoughts in my head. Remember, God’s gift of liberty is already paid for, just simply step out and grab it in faith. These demons are already defeated so all they do is try to wear us down and get our minds off of Jesus so that they can prolong their temporary stay. Watch some of Doug’s videos on demonology and Extreme Spiritual Warfare and get angry, ask for God’s heart toward these demons (I’m getting mad at them just thinking about it). I’ll pray for you brother, it’s a good chance to learn how to push back the kingdom of darkness (and become more like our Messiah! )

Rejecting the thought the instant it enters the mind is when I get victory. playing with thoughts for even a second brings the flood in. I pray for perseverance, patients and long suffering for you.
