Romans 7:15 Paul talks of the struggle between his spirit and his flesh. What a wretched man I am, who can rescue me from this body of death? The strugles we face will never go away as long as we are in this body in this life. As we overcome certain lifestyles or habits in the physical realm then you move into the next phase and that is how to control your mind. That is the real test. Read 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, this will give you pinpoint scripture as to how to address this area. Even as we struggle though to overcome sin, it does not negate the conversion that we make as believers in Christ Jesus. Romans 10:9-10. We are saved when we believe and confess Christ as Lord. The sanctifiying process begins and we must fight to put down the deeds of the flesh. This struggle is common to all. Don't give up and do not listen the voice of the enemy. He comes to kill, steal and destroy. He will steal your faith by telling you that you are not living up to the call and many do give up and go back to the world. I believe that you must excersize the same zeal and effort to press into God as you did before when you were in the world and you spent time chasing after other things. There is no easy way but to keep reading, praying and hearing the word. Faith comes by hearing. Can you hear me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas,we need to keep a repentant attitude everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This parable is about the kingdom of God, Some people are like the rocky places-they hear the Word and it springs up quickly in there lives.  The Word is alive to them, however the cares of this life or the love of the world comes between them and the Word and the life in Christ is withered because it has no root. Just because someone starts this walk with God, that doesn't mean they will finish the race.  God's family is for all who will believe.  It is not for those who shrink and turn back.
