God has been so good to me, blessing me with a miracle as well as many other things, but I have let Him down.. again. I struggle with a particular sin that I can't seem to control.. Each time I hear the Holy Spirit speaking inside telling me to say NO to sin, but my flesh is weak and I always end up sinning. I talked to God about this weakness, I've confessed that I am unable to do this without His help. But with all the blessings He has given me, I feel like such an awful person for always sinning and leaving Him hurt. He deserves so much more from me, and to know I let him down time and time again when all He does is love me and bless me makes me feel terrible :( I don't know what to think or do.. I feel so guilty for hurting God this way.

You are no different than any other Christian.... except your honest about it.:D
This should make you feel better. Paul had exactly the same problem and so do I.

Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Kat_6,


God usually doesn't shout to get the attention of His people. Often He speaks in a 'gentle whisper" 1 Kings 19:12. Some listen when God speaks; others ignore His voice.

Satan too speaks; he has no intention of remaining silent. Satan sometimes rears his ugly head and speaks directly to people. Sometimes he speaks through his demon foot soldiers. But whether he speaks directly or through others, those who listen and follow are destined for sadness, horror, and confusion.


Sister, Jesus died that u may have life on earth and have it more abundantly as well as in heaven but, but, but, God does not force and He says, He has made a way of escape in every situation. Its up to us to remove ourselves from the temptation as far from us as possible. God does give us some power with a made up mind. God already gained the victory, all we must do is take Him at His word then act in faith.

Think about what keeps u returning back to your vomit..this is one of the words God uses to describe sin.

As long as satan has you thinking about your guilt you can't be an effective, witnessing Christian. Jesus died for ALL your sins, past, present, future. His sacrifice covers it all, so as soon as that sinks in, you can experience His Grace, and your thanks and appreciation, NOT your guilt, will make your sinful desires fade, and you will become an effective Christian, bearing fruit for His kingdom. Lord, please let the truth of your Grace rain upon Kat. In Jesus name I pray.

The victory is not about success, it is about the direction of travel. Sin can be compulsive behaviour which is linked to many experiences in ones past that need dealing with and resolving before the driving force behind the behaviour is resolved.

The first thing is to accept you are a victim of circumstance, to slavery to behaviour patterns and to admit you need help.
The Lord does not ask us to change and resolve all our issues in a flash but to work towards resolution. We are complex and often a mess where we do things for reasons we have learnt but do not understand.

Jesus died, spent years talking sharing and working with the deciples who were slow to hear, and slow to obey and learn.
So keep heart, and reach out to others to help you, who have faced similar problems and found victory.

How can i give you advice on how to cease from a particular sin, if you do not reveal what sin it is your having trouble with? if you are embarrassed, email me. There is no sin that you do that you can't cease from, i can help you.

i have ceased from all my sins, Not easy to do at all, but very doable. i can help.

DiscipleDave, I believe it would be absolutely inappropriate for a female who is struggling with a sin she doesn't want to confess publicly to reveal it to you (a male) privately. That is a recipe for disaster.

Sometimes God allows us to have a thorn in the flesh to keep us humbled and from being exhalted without measure....I also agree with KJV1611's assessment.......!

Just a heads-up, this user Kat has started several posts about controversial situations since they joined. Though many users have submitted responses, Kat has not replied to a one of them. :confused:

I agree for the most part on this one, but what if this "male" was her husband or fiance would that be different. I would think so.

Did you not read all that i wrote? i plainly said if you are embarrassed, email me. By saying that, does that not reveal to you that i understand how some sins could be embarrassing to mention in public?

Have i said anywhere at all, that it IS appropriate to confess your sins in public? No i have not said that. nor would i say such a thing, but it is easy for the one who said that above to accuse others.

IN that regards, what if that male, through the Holy Ghost, had the answer to her problem?

Its been a few years now, but I have met with a pastor about things that I was dealing with and I felt completely comfortable with doing so. I think it just depends on the situation.

i am in error. Please forgive me. Thank you so much for pointing this out to me, i did not realize that is what you said, i thought you meant publically, and did not see where you said "privately", please accept my apology on that. And again thank you for pointing out this error on my part.
