Bible Answer: Subject: how do i get control of my will? Note: Walk for Christ, Welcome to the forum! How do you stop your bad habits. Start by reading Romans 7, Paul had the same problem. The things I want to do, I do not. The things I don't want to do, I am doing. Then move on to Romans, Chapter 8 which gives us the victory. God made them male and female. Once God made a man, he did not declare things good, but made woman and then said, it was "very good." Scripture expects a man to have a wife and to express his God given sex drive inside marriage. We have three spiritual enemies. The world, the flesh and the devil. We are to be in the world but not of the world. If your car works well and gets you to work, why get a fancy new car? This is the world. The Devil influences us to be lazy, lie and kill (John 8:44) among other temptations. But for many men the problem is the flesh. Wine, women, song, smoking, and drinking/drugs, we are to consider ourselves dead to sin. Gal 2:20. I personally have found 1. cold showers, 2. exercise does wonders to change the mind and clean it up. 3. Read my Bible and 4. pray. Prayer and Bible reading don't work so well when I am in the middle of temptation, 5. do something else like walk/run until I am exhausted when tempted works the best for me. From a Biblical point of view using Psalm 119:9-11. Read, memorize meditate on God's Word will keep you from sin. |
