Hi,
I guess many people have things that they do, which they seems to can't stop doing. I feel guilty and know it's wrong when it's done but I seem to get drawn back into it sooner or later.
I'm starting to think I'm not truly sorrowful hence why I keep falling back into my sinful habits. I've been praying to God every morning and night hoping he can work in my life and give me the will power because I know I can't do it on my own.
Would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on ways to overcome my sinful habits or how I could be going about this wrong.
Bless,
Hello Promised land,
Welcome to CFS !! You will find this a safe and very friendly and loving family of Christians from all around the world. Relax and poke around and enjoy the fellowship and growth that flows through out here. Glad to have you here !!
I am going to share with you some things that changed my life and others as well. It is normal to find your self in this type of situation. It is simply a part of living in this world. However there are a few thiings that YOU can do that will make all the difference you could ever desire.
First you say you pray and ask for strength....Awesome that is a good thing for we can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives us the strength or abuility to cary it out. Philippians 4:13......
Now then here is another thing you are going to have to do.
Renew your mind within the written word of God. This means read it and study it and pray over it and with it. Pray before you read for understanding and Thank God for that understanding even if you do not think you are getting much. YOU WILL.
See we have to get so much of His word in our minds that it begins to flow down to the heart and fill the heart full of His written word. Then when we face a situation, Gods word will come up first in your thinking and in the words you speak. This also allows you to begin to walk in the Spirit and so not to satisfy the lust of the flesh. Galations 5:16
These few things will get you the victory you need and desire. Now as you do this.........When you find your self once again in that place where you say, shoot, I done did it again.....Repent or turn from this and turn to God. Ask Him to forgive you and recieve your forgivenss.
1John1:19 Read it.....get your forgivness and cleansing of all your unrighteousness and try again..... Read these scriptures and pray over them. When a scriptures pops where you are reading then write it down and pray over it and ask God what he wants you to see.
Then continue reading.........You will get past this and soon be the one telling some one else how to deal with this situastion.
Blessings to you and again Welocme
Jim
