When ever tempted, ask your self this, "What would Jesus do in this situation?" You know the answer to that question. Jesus Himself said; John 8:34, Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. Christ died an horrific death, "ONCE," so that we can be forgiven of all our sins. Romans 6:12, Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. Hebrews 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. Hebrews 10:26, For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Be brave, be strong, pray the Lords prayer when ever temptation raises its head and continually ask Jesus to strengthen you by the Holy Spirit, and the devil will flee from you. James 4:7, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will really appreciate any answer from you, thank you so much!!! Reducing the opportunities to commit sin slows the behavior but it does not eliminate the internal bondage that is there. The key is to (eventually) find spiritual freedom from the bondage. Making deals with God, promises, setting goals and resolutions are ultimately an attempt to try to stoke up our our willpower, self-control, and resolution to try to deal with sin under our own strength and capabilities. The gospel is about being changed and transformed so that sin no longer has a hold on us. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). It is not something we stoke up with our own determination or by taking classes in techniques to get our life in order. It is something that naturally grows from us as we grow, mature, and become strengthened spiritually. Many Christians struggle with addictions and compulsive behaviors. There are really two things that need to be done with these things. The first is to mitigate the damage. For example, someone addicted to alcohol or drugs simply needs to get away from them to avoid potential physical dangers and protect themselves. For someone addicted to porn, eliminating access will help. But notice that while this will reduce opportunities for failure, it doesn't solve the root problem. There is still a draw and lure there. An alcoholic stranded on a desert island will not be drinking. However, as soon as the opportunity presents itself, the problem will reassert itself. The real issue is finding freedom from the lure and temptation so that it no longer has an effect on us. Being free from porn is not so much about constantly fighting it and not yielding to temptation; it is about not caring that it is available because it has no draw on us. Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that sins we commit are more often symptoms of a deeper root problem inside of us. Sometimes God's biggest priority for change in our life is not what we are most concerned about. My observations of things in my life and stories I've heard from others suggest to me that God goes after this stuff in our life in a few different ways. Sometimes the simple gradual process of spiritual growth causes things to just slowly fall away over time. Sometimes God does something miraculous and the urge to do something just simply vanishes. Other times, God carries out some type of healing in our life that frees us from things. The biggest question is what is God's priority for you to work on right now. Is it focusing more on spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Bible reading, meditation, or being around other Christians more? Is there some change of lifestyle God wants you to make? Are you carrying emotional and spiritual wounds and injuries that need healing? This might be something to talk to an experienced pastor or good Christian counselor about. God's call on our lives is usually not based on avoidance to get away from things. God's call on our lives is to move forward in the right direction with Him. Instead of focusing on what God wants us to be doing to grow and move forward, we often spend our time worrying and feeling guilty over what we shouldn't be doing. Instead of focusing on how we can grow spiritually (so such things as the fruit of the Spirit naturally flow from our lives), we worry about trying to manage sin and problems on our own. Many Christians have things backwards. We don't become spiritually mature because we manage to eliminate sin from our lives by our own efforts. Sin disappears from our lives because God transforms us and causes us to spiritually grow and mature as we draw closer to Him. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And He knows if it was a conscious choice as well. Continue to pray for Him to deliver you from addiction and anxiety and to help you follow Him always. Have you spoken to a pastor about this? You may need counseling and an accountability partner to help you "stay sober" so to speak. Also, I'd say it's best not to make God promises and set conditions like you have. Just work hard and do your best, and repent when you stumble. No need to make oaths about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i am suffering from OCD. There is normal, that people have high anxiety. I kow it is not goood to make promises to God, but i was so ashamed and the anxiety was so high after i did that sin before i did it now. So i promised God that i wont do it anymore. But than that day happened, that i did that sin again. We could say it was accident, because i didnt open that webpage for mine own good. I was interesting, where could tatoos be on human body. So i waas listing throught types of tatoos on body and than suddenly i saw article about tatoos on genitals. I wasnt really expecting that something like nude picture could jump on the screen of my computer. I am so anxious now and regret that oi did this mistake. But is this really my fault? I really didnt want to see nude picture thats the point it jumped there and i wasnt expecting that. Also if i am right we can not predestinate what our future punishment will be. I said to myself, that if i do thios sin one more time i will live terrible life. Biut i think that we dont decide about uor destiny i meaan when we do sin. It is in Gods hands. I really regret what i did, will God forgive me? And also why would God make my loife terrible just from this one small sin, which wasnt even consciously made. Or i mean i counsciously searched for the tatoos on genitals but i wasnt really excepting that pictures would suddenly jump on the screen off my computer. Thank you one more time so muc for your answers! I think i am not able to find solutuion on this problem by my own. So thats why i turned for your help. I believe that God will forgive me and that i will undestand that it wasnt really my fault or if it was i really regret it doing it,, so God will forgive me. With your help i hope that i will find the right answer on what keeps bothering me. Thank you so much everyone who shared his opinion on my forum. I am grateful. Thank you!

This new birth is a reality to the natural man, us who have first birth, by witness Romans 8:16 (KJV) [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God verify God's presence within you- be sure - then work with Him through His Word to walk in the s/Spirit and not in the flesh because His glory is more important to you than your fleshly pleasure... You will, while here, always have desire for the female... that's how we are built but that can be controlled in the new life of s/Spirit! Prayed...

Even tho i promised him that i wont do it again. You need the Lord Jesus to save you, and set you free from sin.

Than i promised God that i wont do it again. Do not promise anything, we cannot do that. The truth is that you need the Lord Jesus, without Him you are lost. "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." - John 15:4 Do not believe what the world says about OCD. The Lord Jesus can definitely set you free from this oppression, as He did to me. Yes, it seems impossible. Things try to convince you will not succeed, you think about giving up. But trust in the Lord Jesus, He will set you free. Just welcome the Lord Jesus to you, accept and trust in Him as your Lord and Saviour. He will fix everything for you. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:28-29 God bless you!

I feel what you said and what you mean. 4 hours ago, 4LdKHVCzRDj2 said: Do not believe what the world says about OCD. The Lord Jesus can definitely set you free from this oppression, as He did to me. Yes, it seems impossible. Things try to convince you will not succeed, you think about giving up. But trust in the Lord Jesus, He will set you free. You said that you know what is it like to suffer from big anxiety. I have thoughts that if I don't write this sentence with this type God will not like me. Or I want to enjoy my meal and thought jumps in my head taahat id I enjoy it i will be punished, because i didn't do it. I dont know if this ois just my sick way of thinking these are really orders from God. I dont think so, that those thoughts jumping un my head aren't mine. So that's my problem. I will pray for forgiveness and believe with my whole heart in Jesus Christ and in our Lord. He is our father and his main goal is to help us. Or am i not right? Please help me. I know I have lack of knowledge about this. I am starting reading bible, so i hope i will gain more knowledge. Thank you so much. And i also wanted to ask you, how should i fight with OCD when thought like if i enjoy a meal that something bad will happen? I feel like God is proving me if i am able to do everything what God says to show him that i am 100% devoted to him. I want to show him that i believe in him, but i dont know if this is just OCD or it is something different. Thank you so much for all your answers, i am happy that i can talk with you about this problems and that you can help me. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
