Be encouraged that it's what you do after you fall is what matters, we must learn from our mistakes don't get to comfortable with the getting up. We need to know why we are getting up, why we must stay u and away from the pit.

Make a list of the pros-conshysically, spiritually and emotionally that take place with this sin.
for example

Sexual sin:
pros- it feels good
cons- feeling of condemnation, guilty, being dirty, exposure to std's, pregnancies and feeling separated from God.

Keep this list close, every morning pray, read out loud that list asking God to make you strong in time of temptation. At night do the same, add 1-2 bible verses to it.

Protect your eyes, ears, and mind from material associated with this sin. Less exposure faster recovery.

I am praying for you.

You are not alone in Your struggle, for God is with you & "ye are from God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." "1 John 4:4 (KJV)"

Romans 7:19-25 (New International Version)
19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

 

[Boanerges]

My friend if the great Apostle had to wrestle with his flesh than we are no different. But, we have the power of God and nothing is impossible.
If we feed our flesh it grows stronger.
If we feed our spirit it grows stronger.
The one that dominates us is the one we feed at any given time.
Let us sow to the spirit with more Word time, prayer time and at leat an hour a day in worship. If we do these things our flesh grows weak and our inner man grows strong.
Let us together commit to forming godly habit patterns and seeking his face.
The closer we get the more we hunger for more of Him.
The more we get of Him the closer we get.
You are in my prayers,
your brother in Christ, Larry.

Psalms138:8

Christ must save, and Christ alone

Peace be unto you t

While it is true that Christ must save and Christ alone,

Many do not realize until much later in their Christian lives,
after our evil self life has wasted much of God's time and getting
little accomplished because we insist on doing things
our evil selfish way...even while doing things for God.

that not only Christ must save and Christ alone,
but that Christ must ALSO maintain or keep our salvation for us,
as well as...Christ must purify us, and keep us purified in Christ,
Christ must little by little mature us or perfect us.

But we all must learn what Jesus showed John The Baptist,
"I must decrease, Jesus must increase."

Bottom line...we don't understand Jesus, Our Salvation. We are to receive every moment...(Ephs2:8,9) by God's Grace alone forever, through simply trust in Jesus alone forever, within us,
The Infinite Being of Jesus within us...as Jesus flows from within us OUTWARDLY...Jesus draws us and all of our evil lies of self ownership and self activity...INWARDLY, TO BE FOREVER LOST IN HIS LOVE.

But, this Divine Process of God called conversion, takes most of us,
Lord Willing, if God allows us all our days, our entire lives, because we ignorantly trust 1,000s of other things and creatures OTHER than Christ...and these trusts of other things beside Christ...are like chains...that keep us attached to this present evil world.

But PLEASE do not try to do the impossible in your own efforts, no matter how noble and inspired they may seem to be.

And please do not try to strip yourself or free yourself, as this is truly impossible.

Well then, you may ask...what does God truly want us to do?

The ONLY activity that God wants now, after you truly believe in Jesus and Jesus alone forever to save you...is the highest activity possible of your spirit...which is TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST WITHIN you...to save you and keep you saved...give us true repentance in Christ and maintain it forever,
and to heal us and keep us healed...so that Christ may have His True Divine Pleasure of Saving us...HIMSELF...AT THE LAST MOMENT...ONLY in God's Good Time...only in God's Good Way...so that we will not accidently try to steal God's Glory...and so that God and Jesus and God The Holy Spirit alone forever will TOTALLY GET ALL THE GLORY.

May God truly help you to truly understand what He is saying to you through me, according to God's Truly Merciful Will.

LET our only goal be...TO WHOLEHEARTEDLY and simply and forever trust and seek and Love Jesus Himself, ONLY FOR JESUS HIMSELF, and not for any temporary benefit or consolation to evil self and or flesh.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN WITHIN WITHIN you.) The Kingdom of Jesus within your spirit...INWARDLY...and then God will SURELY...little by little...do the rest for us...through His Blessings...through His Afflictions (Blessings in Disguise) (Psalms138;8, Psalms 57 Psalms51:All

I would truly advise you to get an Old Hymnal, either Methodist, Baptist, or Lutheran, and simply ask The Lord to simply cause you little by little to hope in Jesus within you, and have faith in Jesus within you, and to love Jesus with you, like God caused King David to simply WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND FOREVER hope in and trust and love The Lord God of Abraham and God's ONLY Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, alone forever, with ALL OUR HEARTS, WITH ALL OUR SOULS, WITH ALL OUR MINDS, AND WITH ALL OUR STRENGTHS.

God has truly given you HIS Holy and Good Desires, to draw close to Him and to do His Will.

The Lesson however that all Christians, sooner or later MUST learn IS the lesson of WHOLEHEARTED total dependence INWARDLY on the Person of Jesus Christ, Himself, Who truly dwells WITHIN WITHIN WITHIN our human spirits, so that God The Holy Spirit, and NOT EVER US...can little by little, accomplish God's Will Jesus in our spirits, through trials, blessings, doubts, fears, and even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death many times like King David.
(Psalms23)

Therefore God's Goal is to WHOLEHEARTEDLY get and keep forever
1 - our FAITH AND TRUST in Christ within us, (Proverbs3:5,6)
and
2 - our RETURNING AND REST into Christ within us (Joel 2:12)
(Isaiah30:15)
from bare mustard seed faith in Christ, increased...from faith to faith,
and from glory to glory...LITTLE BY LITTLE.
3 - and our NECESSARY SURRENDER of all of us, including all of our evil hearts and all of our evil wills, into The Truly Merciful Arms of Jesus alone forever...so that Jesus can truly save us and keep us saved from THE WORST ENEMY OF ALL...our evil serpent of self love within us

However, you, like all Christians, God must take us through an often painful (to evil self-love and evil corrupt flesh) and long process of like the old Hymn Song says...Learning to Lean...I'm learning to lean (Trust Depend

If The Lord allows, I would leave you with a few keywords...
we must let God work little by little is us,
simple WHOLEHEARTED and forever childlike INWARD TRUST AND HOPE AND LOVE AND SEEKING AND WILLING AND DESIRE INWARDLY Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone forever

Ask God to show you from The lives of King David and The True Apostle Paul, about how God worked WHOLEHEARTED hope and faith and love of God Our Father and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself, alone forever, in them.

In Christ

Peace be unto you.

The secret is TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST within us, to little by little, not only to give us Christ's Victory over all our spiritual enemies, including evil self and evil corrupt flesh, but also to forever maintain it.

God never meant for us in our own strength to defeat ANY of these...as Peter had to find out the hard way.

God caused Peter to little by little take him from a sinful man to a sinful man who loved the Lord Jesus.

But what Peter did not realize, until 3 and 1/2 years later, when he denied Christ 3 times...AS HE TRIED HIS ABSOLUTE BEST.

Peter's evil self trust, was one of his biggest hindrances in His walk with Jesus.

The shortest road to God Our Trust Good Father is absolute WHOLEHEARTED FAITH in Jesus and Jesus alone forever, Our Only Alpha and Omega.

(Proverbs3:5,6)

Salvation is a continual believing and receiving and thanking of THE DIVINE PERSON OF JESUS...FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. Don't trust a religious experience, but rather trust The Author of Our Salvation, God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself, within within within our human spirits, for Jesus truly said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." and The Lord is the MIDST of thee is mighty, He (Jesus) will save.

God truly told us all, in Zephaniah3:17,
"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."

These 4 things help us to truly cooperate with God's Divine and Necessary Grace...and to keep our evil hearts OPEN to God's Necesary and Divine Grace. all other actions close our hearts to our King of Glory.

So don't let satan trick you into wasting time with vain pursuits whether they seem good or evil, that may be pleasant to the flesh outwardly...but dry up your spirit inwardly.

Bottom line...the only thing that God wants us to do, from henceforth and forevermore is to 1 Peter 5:7 cast ALL OUR CARE UPON JESUS, FOR JESUS TRULY CARES FOR US.

King David's Secret, Resource, and Support to a true close walk with God and Jesus is found in Psalms 16:
"I have set the LORD always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

King David answered God and then WHOLEHEARTELY sought His Truly Lovely Face Jesus alone, forevermore. t

Psalms27:8,
"When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek."

==========

If you are truly serious about not only drawing close, but then ABIDING there WHOLEHEARTELY SIMPLY AND FOREVER (JOHN15) (HEBREWS3,4) (PSALMS91) INTO God Our Father and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, alone forever, The Only Truly True Place of Eternal Safely and Eternal Security, WITHIN the Truly True Trustworthy and Unchanging Merciful Heart of Jesus...then I leave you with some books that God has used to truly help me...to learn about how Jesus loved and helped His Few Dear True Children to truly live lives that ONLY Truly Glorified God Our Father and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone forever, and NEVER God's worst enemy, the evil love of the evil serpent and impurity of self.

AUTHOR OF

"A CONCISE VIEW OF THE WAY TO GOD"

"AUTOBIOGRAPHY"

ETC.

==========

In speaking of the attainment of perfection, the word Facility is used,
because God is indeed found with facility when we seek Him within
ourselves. But, in contradiction to this, some perhaps may urge that
passage in S. John, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me" (John
vii. 34). This apparent difficulty, however, is removed by another
passage, where He, who cannot contradict Himself, hath said to all,
"Seek and ye shall find" (Matt. vii. 7). It is true, indeed, that he
who would seek God, and is yet unwilling to forsake his sins, shall not
find Him, because he seeks not aright; and therefore it is added, "Ye
shall die in your sins." On the other hand, he who diligently seeks God
in his heart, and that he may draw near unto Him sincerely forsakes
sin, shall infallibly find Him.


A life of devotion appears so formidable, and the Spirit of Prayer of
such difficult attainment, that most persons are discouraged from
taking a single step towards it. The difficulties inseparable from all
great undertakings are, indeed, either nobly surmounted, or left to
subsist in all their terrors, just as success is the object of despair
or hope. I have therefore endeavoured to show the facility of the
method proposed in this treatise, the great advantages to be derived
from it, and the certainty of their attainment by those that faithfully
persevere.

O were we once truly sensible of the goodness of God toward His poor
creatures, and of His infinite desire to communicate Himself unto them,
we should not allow imaginary difficulties to affright us, nor despair
of obtaining that good which He is so earnest to bestow: "He that
spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall he
not, with him, also freely give us all things?" (Rom. viii 32). But we
want courage and perseverance; we have both to a high degree in our
temporal concerns, but want them in "the one thing needful" (Luke x.
42).


If any think that God is not easily to be found in this way of Simple
Love and Pure Adherence, let them not, on my testimony, alter their
opinion, but rather make trial of it, and their own experience will
convince them that the reality far exceeds all my representations of
it.

Beloved reader, peruse this little treatise with a humble, sincere and
candid spirit, and not with an inclination to cavil and criticize, and
you will not fail to reap some degree of profit from it. It was written
with a hearty desire that you might wholly devote yourself to God;
receive it, then, with a like desire for your own perfection: for
nothing more is intended by it than to invite the simple and child-like
to approach their Father, who delights in the humble confidence of His
children, and is grieved at the smallest instance of their diffidence
or distrust. With a sincere desire, therefore, to forsake sin, seek
nothing from the unpretending method here proposed but the Love of God,
and you shall undoubtedly obtain it.


Without setting up our opinions above those of others, we mean only,
with truth and candour, to declare, from our own experience and the
experience of others, the happy effects produced by thus Simply
Following our Lord.


As this treatise was intended only to instruct in Prayer, there are
many things which we respect and esteem, totally omitted, as not
immediately relative to our main subject: it is, however, certain, that
nothing will be found herein to offend, provided it be read in the
spirit with which it was written; and it is still more certain, that
those who in right earnest make trial of the way, will find we have
written the Truth.


It is Thou alone, O Holy Jesus, who lovest simplicity and innocence,
"and whose delight is to dwell with the children of men" (Prov. viii.
31), with those who are, indeed, willing to become "little children";
it is Thou alone, who canst render this little work of any value by
imprinting it on the hearts of all who read it, and leading them to
seek Thee within themselves, where Thou reposest as in the manger,
waiting to receive proofs of their love, and to give them testimony of
Thine. Yet alas! They may still lose these unspeakable advantages by
their negligence and insensibility! But it belongeth unto Thee, O thou
Uncreated Love! Thou Silent and Eternal Word! it belongeth unto Thee,
to awaken, attract, and convert; to make Thyself be heard, tasted, and
beloved! I know Thou canst do it, and I trust Thou wilt do it by this
humble work which belongeth entirely to Thee, proceedeth wholly from
Thee, and tendeth only to Thee! And, O most Gracious and adorable
Saviour!

To Thee be all the Glory!

Whoops! I forgot the 4 NECESSARY things that God wants us to do, not in our own strength, but by simply WHOLEHEARTEDLY and forevermore and forever RESTING IN HIS LOVE AND IN HIS STRENGTH God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Himself within us.

So, in conclusion, RESTING IN MY SAVIOR JESUS AS MY ONLY ALL IN ALL STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

that is the max, that by The Grace of God alone forever, through true saving faith in God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ alone forever, that any of us can ever do in order to truly and WHOLEHEARTEDLY COOPERATE with God and Jesus as God and Jesus both wills to work and to do of His Good Pleasure (little by little make us Inwardly like Christ, and HIDE our old evil self life, in Christ, to be lost in God's Love forever.

Psalms136, "O give thanks unto the LORD[/SIZE]; for he is good:
for his mercy endures for ever."


BY EPHESIANS2:8,9 ALONE FOREVER, WE MUST CONSTANTLY ACTS16:30,31

1 - TRUST IN GOD AND JESUS ALONE FOREVER
2 - RECEIVE GOD AND JESUS ALONE FOREVER
3 - THANK GOD AND JESUS ALONE FOREVER
4 - PRAY INTO GOD AND JESUS ALONE FOREVER

in order to keep our hearts OPEN to God's Necessary Saving Grace and Mercy 24-7

any other action...ignorantly closes our hearts to God's Necessary Saving Grace and Mercy

Our only hope in life and in all spiritual emergencies is this

1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

King David said, in Psalms 52:8, "I trust in The Mercy of The Lord forever and ever."
