Hello my friends, yesterday as I wrote my blog, I was discouraged how this carnal sin affected my week and saw little hope in going through another week like this. Like withdrawal from sweet. The first three days are brutal. Well, I guess it is the same with withdrawal from a long-term carnal sin, it’s hard to let go of it.
There are a few things I can to do to successfully beat this sinful beast.
- Prayer
- Read Scriptue
- Arm myself with a verse
- Listen to sermon from a good source that will help me with this
- Stop reflecting and meditating on what has caused it and act upon it. Trust and Obey
- There is hope
- His promise are truth
- Do NOT doubt Jesus died for this sin too
- Do Not grieve the Spirit by doubting
- The Father knows your struggled and will carried out of it. His blessings are eternal.
Yesterday, my husband and I discussed how we can deal with long-term sin. We both dealt differently with it, but it was good and hurtful to share this too. I know he’s trying hard to help me out, but what he suggested, I’ve tried it all. But it wasn’t in vain that we talk, because my heart listened to his suggestion of listening to a series of 40 sermons by Martin Loyd Jones on Ephesians 6: 10-13. Of course, you guessed it; the whole armor of God.
Yesterday, it was great to have my mind completely clear and focus and without the carnal sin pounding in my head like an headache. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” (Eph 6: 11)
Praise His name!
