What Verse in the Bible can help me here please?

Pappy · Feb 11, 2014

Some know I’m finding way back to God. Last night at work I cursed 4 times and got mad at 2 of my associates and yelled. I felt so bad had to walk off the floor. I need a verse please to read at night by myself when I do these things that aren’t the Christian way. I’m so bummed right now I do not want to go back to old ways. I just need to read some words of comfort till I have mind soul and spirit back to the word and life of God. I know God has my back without every letting me down. It just kills me I let him down by old actions. Even wife said on her way to work as I’m getting home what’s wrong? I said I’m not a good Christian.

Good morning Pappy,

You know, I think it's good when we can recognize our own short comings. When we do that I think that we can learn and grow through it.

1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.

I've personally found that when I fall short and acknowledge it, I can catch it before it happens again. I think that exercising ourselves to always have a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men takes practice. Continue in it, and eventually it becomes our normal way.

Keep pressing on brother

1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Remember it's Jesus' perfection, not yours

Read Romans 6,7,8 together

Confession, repentance, forsaking and then asking God to fill you with His Holy Spirit so you may obey

Try reading chapter 7 of romans. And try reading about all the main characters of the Bible and their sins. Focus on your position in Christ and do not place yourself under law. Know God forgave you before you even did it. And then lean on God and see how much he loves you. and believe it. And you will learn not to get so angry at others..

Sure, we need to control our tongue...

James 3 shows us how hard it is, yet Paul tells us this...

Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

And John helps us here...

1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

We have a great High Priest who, upon our heartfelt repentance and seeking forgiveness, turns to the Father and says "forgive him" and the Father does.

Psa 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
Psa 130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

This is correct Pappy, when the law has done its convicting work it's time to look to Jesus and His death and resurrection for you. Our life is risen in Him where we seek our wisdom and strength.

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Colossians 3:1-3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

This is wonderfu that you are feeling bad about it
only the holy spirit makes you feel bad for making a mistake

go to him and say
See how I am?
I want to love you and be with you!
Please forgive
I cannot do it on my own
I try and try and try
and I fail

I need to be born gain Jesus
make me sweet like you

John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Let us follow Jesus now,
to follow him means to see him

the disciples were fighting just before Jesus died
who is the greatest?
grumpy crabby and no one would wahs the feet.

so Jesus did it
and said
I love you!

and their hearts broke

your heart has to break
and then you have to cry
and Jesus will flood your soul.
and he will fil you with his holy spirit of peace.
and we go and sin no more

and then you remember last night forever
do not forget
remember how you are

and turn to Jesus all day
and it will not happen again

wonderful that you are feeling sad rather than justifying self...

repentance means that tonight
you go and tell everyone
how you did not behave like Jesus
and you are sorry
please forgive

that makes it permanent
some will understand
some will laugh
but you wont do it again.

that is what counts

you have to repent or the devil will have you again.

The Almighty sees your heart Pappy, and to me it looks like you repent of your conduct, keep growing, don't stop.

dcontroversal · Feb 11, 2014

Hey Pappy,

If we are going to speak, let us speak as it were the oracles of God...
Be ye angry and sin not!
Be ye kind hearted one to another...
Forgive and ye shall be forgiven...
Be ye patient toward all men...
All men have not faith...

Though a just man falls 7 times, yet shall he rise up! Keep on plugging a way Pappy and don't loose heart or be so angry at yourself as the same kind of difficulties are being worked out and accomplished by your brothers and sisters in the world as well.

There are none that doeth good... are you alive to God, then you are a new creature. You need to understand who you are in the body of Christ, first and foremost, for proper growth & spiritual fitness. You are called to be an ambassador, a workman, but first you must be established in your position, standing, identity for this vocation of our holy calling. We are christians, yes. Leave it at that, only God is good.

You need understanding of our gospel, our ministry and two natures... first we must receive of the fruit, in order for it to be made manifest in us and through us, by the power of God. The gospel of our salvation should bring knowledge of this, we are "in Christ", that is what God the Father sees when He looks at you. Your flesh is a "body of death", you serve God with your spirit (1 Cor 2:12 kjv) as Paul did (Rm 1:9 kjv) as Christ did during His life (Rm1:4, Luke 2:52 kjv) The mystery of godliness is God's doctrine about "that spirit that is of God", our portion by promise read and notice the little "h" (Eph 1:13-14 kjv). You will find other references of "holy Spirit" in Paul's epistles in the King James Bible for this edification doctrine. So as you "study" mark them. Read Eph 3 & then Rm 16:25 kjv... now to Him that is of power to "stablish" you according to "my gospel" words are important to sound doctrine.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men... (1 Cor 2:5 kjv)

And that you study to be quiet... (1 Thess 4:11-12 kjv)

Let every man prove his own work... (Gal 6:4 kjv)

Know we no man after the flesh (2 Cor 5:16 kjv) not even ourselves.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh... (2 Cor 10:3-5 kjv)

Read Romans 8:1-8 kjv, stop minding the spirit of sin nature condemned in your flesh and begin to develop the mind of Christ in obedience to a "form of doctrine" (Rm 6:17 kjv).

Study, prove, approve this is our main objective in our "walking" & "following" & "manifesting" (Rm 12:2, 2 Tim 2:15 kjv)

9*And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

10 ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

While it is awesome that you are trying to improve upon your old habits, the Christian walk is a process and a journey.

I know God totally delivered me of drinking when I was saved, and never have I wanted or taken another drink since the day I was saved. But cursing took a lot longer. One verse was not enough, it was my daily walk that God used to transform me. It has probably been 30 years since I cursed, but it was a battle in the beginning!

In other words, the way to overcome is through reading the Bible, praying and fellowshipping with God and other Christians.

The verses that helped me most with this sort of condemnation are the following:

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1

"Do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2

Do not let the deceiver, Satan, tell you that you have lost your salvation because you cursed. Instead, seek God, repent and use it to grow closer to God! You cannot lose your salvation, because God is the one who saves us, not our works.

"For by grace you have been savedthrough faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [SUP]9 [/SUP]not a result of works, so that no one may boast.[SUP]10 [/SUP]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Eph. 2:8-10

There is no such thing as a "good" Christian. Only a Christian who looks to God, and is obeying more and more every day. We will not be perfect until we see Jesus in person.

"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known." 1 Cor. 13:12

"Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appearswe shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2

Our part of salvation is to walk with God and allow God to transform us. The verb "transform" in Greek in Romans 12:2 is passive imperative. That means that we are commanded to work with God, but God does the transforming.

Praying for you to find some peace with God by drawing closer to him, and also that you will be able to let God help you transform your tongue!

If you feel guilt from your actions and have identified that it is not something you wish to do in the future, make a concerted effort not to do it. Keep your wits about you. Concentrate on self-awareness and learn to recognize your trigger points, and increase your self-control. It takes practice, discipline and time.

Reading a verse that you might interpret as relevant to your plight may appear attractive, but this is akin to damage control. It is, at best, tending to your guilt. Instead of applying an emotional quick-fix, doesn't it make sense to apply root cause analysis and rectify the cause of the problem?

Feeling conviction of sin is a good thing.
2 Corinthians 7:8-11 (NASB) [SUP]8 [/SUP]For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it—for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while— [SUP]9[/SUP]I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. [SUP]11 [/SUP]For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

Pappy, there may be another problem. While being cold spiritually can cause you to manifest this behavior, so can other things. For example emotional pain & bitterness produce the same results. If I remember clearly, you mentioned some terrible things that has happened to you not long ago. It could be you need more than forgiveness; you need inner healing of the heart. To let go of things you can't change, for they were never meant for you to bear by yourself, or at all.

Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV) [SUP]28 [/SUP]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV) [SUP]6 [/SUP]Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [SUP]7 [/SUP]Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Pappy...write on a 3x5 card Psalm 139: 23-24

Search me, O God
and know my heart
Test me and know my anxious thoughts

See if there is any offensive way in me
and lead me in the way everlasting.

That prayer, said from the heart on a regular basis, can change your life entirely.

What Verse in the Bible can help me here please?
