May the love of Christ be shed abroad in your heart to see the goodness of God leads repentance for greater is Christ who lives in you than the sin that dwells in the world around. Let fervent ardor of love overflow heart to others to remain strong in your Word by the power of your Spirit. Grant her the fullness of the mind of Christ to be encouraged to overcome the things that would try to keep her from shining to show your glory to the world. In Yeshua's name I pray Amen.

tyrah, we are meant to sin. That is what we are: sinners. God knows we're gonna sin and fall on our butts. He knows that you mean well when you say you wont do it again, but then you do. I'm sure quite a few of us have sinned and said that very same thing. I know I have, lol. I had someone pm me yesterday about this very subject actually. He asked if he sinned and asked forgiveness, then kept sinning on purpose, would God forgive him?? I said yes as long as you admit your sin and ask for forgiveness then he will grant it to you, but wouldnt it just be easier to try and stop sinning on purpose. I feel that is just testing God as to whether he will forgive us each time or not, or if he'll get sick of it and say sorry you blew it. That is gratifying yourself when you know you can sin and ask forgiveness and go and knowingly sin again so you can keep indulging in it. I think at times we all take, or have taken God for granted. We take it that he's there, that he listens, that he answers our prayers, etc.. but what if he was'nt there and didnt listen?
This is going to sound a bit blasphemous but I dont intend it that way so nobody take offense. What if God is a liar? What if he says he'll forgive us, only to say sorry you dont deserve it? Would we then try to live as he did, perfect and blameless, or would we just give up and keep sinning because we thought it doesnt matter now if he wont forgive us? I've met people who have this very mindset that I just described. It's sad, because Jesus tells us in the bible we are, and will be, forgiven if we admit our sins! We should believe his promise with all our hearts, because it comes from the purest source of all. :)

Here's the secret to not sinning. Don't do it! If you are like everybody else then usually you have the capacity to act a certain way around certain people. For example some people may swear at work but not around their children. Or you have self control to not yell at a boss but you blast a loved one for something completely insignificant. When it comes to sin you have a choice, do it or don't do it. God says He will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bare and He will provide a way out. So, every time we sin its because we love sin more than God. Either we are slaves to our sinful nature or we are slaves to righteousness. It's love for this world and all it offers that entices us and prevents a life with God. Don't be deceived to thinking you are just going sin because that's just who you are. Maybe that's who you were but when you are called to be a child of God He expects you to cast off the old self and put on His righteousness. Choose your Master, God or self. Choose life or death. Sin no more.
