1 | How to resist "back to slavery" tempts? | Hos 8:3 | 6 days | 124252 | ||
Good question! I'm just glad the evil one hasn't chased you into a hole and made you feel as if you have no testimony! I'll agree that it is easier to tell others about ther Lord if you have no visible sin...but remember that even those like the Billy Grahams of the world stand in pulpits everyday all over the world while they still struggle with sin! They may have victiry over the sin that wars against you...but you may not struggle with the sin they wrestle with! Jesus isn't just there to cover your sin but to cleanse you and deliver you of it! Busy yourself with the work of the Lord and see if some of the sin you've wrestled with doesn't become a part of your past! Avoid those situations that often lead to sin! Spend more time in fellowship and minisrty (not just preaching/teaching/witnessing) but feeding others, visiting senior housing...you will see as you move on, you will become stronger! f you fall to the same sin over and over, change your surroundings and don't allow yourself to be in the situation that almost always preceeds sin! And continue in prayer and study! I'll pray for you, too! | ||||||
2 | How to resist "back to slavery" tempts? | Hos 8:3 | xlence0221 | 124259 | ||
This is very good advice. For me to overcome the evil temptations of life I came to the place where I just believed who God said I was. Meaning, God said I am the righteousness of God and this righteousness I received by faith. So if I received it by faith, I realized I can't lose it by works. God tells us to live our life by faith because what we see may not always line up with what he says. If God sees us as blameless, unaccusable, without fault, spot or wrinkle, Then I must see myself as that too. Job said, (27:6) I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live." We must do the same because Satan tells us all day long we're not worthy to come God, we should be ashamed, look at what you did. So do as Job did and maintain your righteousness and never let go of it. Be assured of who you are in Christ and pursue excellence, and you will never fail. | ||||||
