If you are sinning a sin that you know you are unable to immediately stop then don’t go to God asking for forgiveness because you are not being truthful and God knows the heart and He’ll consider that an offense.

If you are sinning a sin you are unable to immediately stop but you really want to stop but you lack a strong enough desire to stop, them go to God and ask him to bear with you and ask Him to give you a desire that is stronger than the desire to commit this particular sin.

If God sees in your heart that you truly want this desire that’s stronger than your desire to do this sin (remember God cannot be fooled, He knows you better than you know yourself) and you ask Him to bear with you… God will show longsuffering and bear with you and your sin however long it takes and you can daily come before Him in prayer askijg Him to bear with you and eventually He will give you a strong enough desire to overcome this particular sin.

This is God’s main business… His specialty… The Master of Life ….helping man to overcome sin.

Josh the Holy Spirit will NOT STOP reproofing you until you STOP the sin. You say it is hard for you, but God says it is light and not grievious. It is hard only because you did not take the sin to Jesus YET. ASK Him to remove the sin for you. Read the Bible, in there Jesus tells you EXACTLY what to do.

Josh. replace the sin with a VERSE of the Bible that you love. So everytime the sin comes into your thoughts, REBUKE the sin with that verse. Let me share one of mine and you will know how to do it.... I was molested when I came into manhood. And with the molestation came a ungodly sex drive. That evil spirit that drove me mad with sex, had a ball in my life for more than 20 years. Then one Sunday God helped me to get rid of the spirit. We were two men praying for the same deliverance and God delieverd us. But that spirit goes through waterless places and he would still want to move back into my flesh. But god gave me something to fill the room where he lived.....

I used to LOVE beautiful woman dressed in almost nothing. Then god showed me it is the SAME spirit in me that wnats them in bed, that made them dress like that! So in stead of seeing a beautiful woman dressed for sex, I see a lost woman dressed by Satan. I recognise my weakness against the evil ungodly sex spirit, and how God made me free, and then I PITY the woman dressed badly.... There is no better anti-dode to ungodly sex, than God's delieverance.

I am not excited by woman dressed unmodestly, but I pray for them in quiet. I think they see my peace, and then they leave me in peace. If God leads me to adress the situation I do so. I might get a slap in the face, but then what is new? My friend here is the verse that comes up if I see too much skin and or shape.... In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;

Some really are already at great discomfort in my presence..... I saw a woman pulling her short skirt down and there just was not enough metaerial. So if she pulls any harder she might pull it off. I could see she almost prayed for more material.... I bet that was the last time she wore that mini. And then a young girl wearing one of those stomache revealing t-shites... It just would not rech her beltline, but the shirt was almost stretched to its limits everytime she looked at me... HAHAHA... I just smiled at the discomfort she was in. And it all started when she saw me looking at her. I winder what she thought. She liked the admiration of the young fellas, but they were the old me... And when she saw me, she was ashamed and really discomforted.... I think I am getting to be quite ok in these situations... It is now 15 years since I last comitted adultery, even in my thoughts. So God really does make us free from sin when He f orgives us. I thinks God knows before us when we are finished with a sin, and we only later discover the victory He gave us over that sin.... It is GOOD!

this was me when i first came to christ i would pray for them when i saw it and ask God to forgive them, but now i sometimes indulge in lust rather easy... just need to get back where i was when God first saved me, the world is so heavy too specially for a christian in this day i stayed home for like 6 months when God saved me and my faith in christ was very good i would listen 2 sermons sometimes a day read the bible constantly but soon as i got back out there in the world.. i just drifted back in, i do realize i'm still young in christ but that is not an excuse i must try harder the road is never gonna be easy
