Freedom from habitual sin: Overeating, Pornography, Smoking, Drinking
Freedom from habitual sin: Overeating, Pornography, Smoking, Drinking
Yes, overeating is a sinful habit, in my church we fast from certain foods to emphasize the fact that we as humans are not supported by bread alone, but that God is our source of Life.
In most religious context, gluttony is the term for overeating.
Gluttony was a sin that was very rampant at the time of Jesus, and it remains to be very common now..
Romans had rooms of their houses dedicated to bingeing and purging.. they called them vomitoruims.. they would eat their fill of a banquet, then stop by the vomitorium to make room for more food...
Thus overeating is sinful

The greatest enemy in this life is our minds.Being idol leads us to overindulging in thinking which leads us to sinning. Thus an idol mind is the devils workshop. Always try to preoccupy yourself with constructive work or at least what u r gud at. It cud be sports, art or activities that help u to grow and also which u enjoy.
you shld indulge in constructive activities to pass time.
hope u get over your addiction very soon.

If you are unsure whether something is wrong or right, don't do it. This way you will keep your conscience clear of offense. Because anything done in doubt is sin. Okay?
Another thing. Watch what you watch and hear and see. AVOID IT IF IT IS TEMPTING!!! Don't tempt yourself:
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Also:
1Tim 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
And:
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 3
[Emphasis on 21]
May Jesus bless you.

Dear brother, if you have truly given your entire life over to Jesus, then it is not His failure.
Once you become a Child of Almighty God you are given all the power you need to defeat all of Satans temtations. Next time you feel like sinning, in that brief instant when you say, what the hell, STOP close your eyes and ask God to take the temtation away.
You do not have enough faith, God gave you the power. Faith is also a gift from God, pray and ask God to give you faith overwhelming.
God made the universe, and you think He can't give you the strength to stop jerking off?
Satan is fooling you, in that brief instant.
Talk to God often, go out and spend time with your Brothers and Sisters in Christ. They can be of great help to you now.
Read His word (prayerfully) a bit everyday.
Find a Christian home and be faithful to it.
You can't live in both worlds brother.
I pray that our Lord lays His hands upon you right now, casts out all negative, evil, doubting spirits, forgives you for your sins, heals you physically, mentally, spiritually, grants you faith overflowing, peace, tranquility, and joy, in Jesus name, Amen
God has a wonderful life waiting for you, stop letting satans trickery get in the way!
May God pour out His richest blessings upon you.
Have a GR8 da bro !!!

quote=Mysterymark;415339]So ive had a large problem with Sexual sins in general and I don't know how to get rid of it. I honestly want all of it to stop consuming my life, but it is like an addiction and I don't know how to break it.
Here's my situation in summary: Basically, I have struggled with sexual sins for a few years now, from different sides. At one point I had to deal with struggling with pornography, and then I stopped with that, but then I struggled with lust, and masterbation, and then I ended up actually doing a lot of sexual things with a few different girls I was dating. I am not dating any of them anymore, but I still struggle with sexual wants, and the mention of it can make me want it a lot. I also struggle with masterbation. I do not know if masterbating is wrong or not, there are many different views on that, but what I do know is that if you are thinking about a girl in a sexual way and she is not your wife, that is lust. So at the very least I have problems with that, and part of that is because of masterbating, because its not easy to enjoy something like that without some thoughts coming along with it.
I want to break free from all of this crap. Its been holding me back from my relationship with God for a long time, and I can't do it anymore. It only has lead to hurt, and not growing spiritually.
Please help me out with this someone. I prayed that God will help me get rid of it, but now I realize that I also need to do my part as well. I have a hard time talking to anyone about this that I know, so I figured that now it is time to find someone I can talk to, even if its just someone totally random. I just have to do something.[/quote]
