All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Another Day, Another Fall
I did it again. For about the nth already.
I'm so ashamed of this sin. I think it's the root of my problems but I don't really know. I feel so dejected and disheartened. It's been repeating over and over and over and over. It just has no end. It stops for a while then comes back to terrorize me again. I feel I have no voice because of this. It's so humiliating. I can't talk about it with anyone, not even my parents.
Temptation can never be killed, but can be denied. I have such a difficult time denying it. I'm so frustrated. :(

Hi there
Do not feel disheartened,temptation can be defeated.
I,myself struggle with the temptation of fornication from time to time.
I tell myself that i have it under control and then it overtakes me time and time again.We cannot deal with temptation by ourselves,we do not have enough willpower.God will not allow you to get tempted above what you can handle.I believe He will help you everytime you get tempted.
Repent and move forward,He loves you so much,He is full of mercy and grace,He always picks us up when we fall.
Do not be ashamed,He will get you through this!
Love Sharon

Thank you so much for the support. I have been trying for so long to defeat temptation, but failed time to time. Maybe I should rely on his strength.
God Bless Sharon!

Face it, take it and put the whole burden of sin on lord's feet and surrender to him, ask , speak and talk to almighty lord and seek for his forgiveness, kneel put out your both hands and ask him........ bow down your head and receive the seed of forgiveness by lord's grace, comfort and peace.
the next time you are faced with the same temptation, hear the holy spirit voice, reminding you, heed and seek to the lord again, pray that the holy spirit will grant you the strength to overcome this temptation. you will be filled with the presence of holy spirit and the temptation will disappears from you totally. you will be free from the temptation totally. praise the lord and glory to the lord

Very comforting, indeed. :D I should do this more often. I do hear the holy spirit voice but don't listen to it. That's my most common mistake.
Thank you and God Bless!

John 6:63 (KJV)
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Therefore!
Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
So just confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanses you from all unrighteousness, 1Jo.1:9

I was really moved when you said that "...The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." At least I knew that I didn't want to fall back down to that same area. But, I just couldn't do it on my own. Thank you for that long, invigorating message. I really appreciate it.
God Bless Bev :D

Hello JRenz F,
Your statement is very true...'Temptation can never be killed, but can be denied.' Temptation is something we can always look forward to dealing with from time to time, but the key is to not focus on the temptation. We are to focus on Jesus. You don't have to beat yourself up everytime you fall into sin. God PAID for your sin by sending Jesus to live a sinless life and die a sinners death. God doesn't get angry, upset, or even punish you when you sin. That is the magnificent beauty of Jesus; He paid for it all! He will not punish you for something that has already been tried in the Court of Justice. God is a just God and will not play double jepordy by punishing you for a sin that was already taken care of 2,000 + years ago. Jesus paid for your past, present, and future sins that day on the cross. Romans 5: 19 "19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Jesus is our righteousness and permits us to enter unto the Throne of Grace by Him. When God looks at a believer, He sees a person covered by His Son's blood, an therefore, sinless (I like to think of it as God's Jesus glasses;). We can come to the Father boldly because we are in right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Falling into sin is really falling into the law or falling from grace; It is trying to not sin by our own efforts. The law clearly demonstrates that we cannot do it. We've all lied, stolen, it is apart of our human nature to sin because we are fallen (you don't have to teach a child to sin, but to do good). God permitted the law to show mankind why we are sinners and how much we need a Savior.
It is common to feel frustrated when you are trying to do something that you can't do, at least not by yourself. Don't frustrate yourself, or the grace of God. Gal 2 :21 "21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." Paul's says if your righteousness comes from your own effort, then Jesus died for no reason at all.
Your root problem is not the sin, it is not knowing how much God loves you.Concentrate on how much God loves you, that He sent His only Son to gain YOU. If you want to know how much God loves you, then realize how much He loves Jesus because He gave Him up for you. Repent from doing it your way, tell God all your cares, resist the devil and He will flee in Jesus name, read about God's love in His word, and submit to the Holy Spirit. Gal 5:16 "So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature."
My prayer for you is that of Eph 16-19 For you.. "to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
God Bless!

That was really long. I didn't expect anyone to give a reply that long. I really appreciate this.
You have summarized my faults into this concise message. I thank you so much. :D
I will try to live by the Spirit. I was also quite foolish to try to make Christ's death a futile effort by trying to straighten myself by my own means.
I have really learned a lot from you.
God Bless littlesheep88!
P.S. I didn't quite understand Eph 16-19. Could you please explain it a little further? If it is at your convenience. :)

Praisethe lord JRenzF, The verse is Ephesians 6: 16-19. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18
JFrenz dear, this is the link and its completely explained. Please read, because these words is not from me, but the holy spirit is guiding me to to speak this verses and scriptures to you. pls read this link http://www.crossroad.to/Victory/Armor.htm
