Help in breaking the bondge of sin.......

[Christ's Free Servant]

Hey #1smile I pray that God delivers you from what ever is tempting you and He has total control of your life. You know when we are saved we don't automatically change somethings seem like they disappear at once and others God has to work out. You know that satan doesn't give up just because you are saved he tries even harder the Bible says he desires you to sift you as wheat. Also there may be some things in your house that still satan has attached himself to like music videos or magazines. The best thing you can do is have a housecleaning party and rid it of anything that he may try to still claim possesion of all he needs is an open door. When my wife and i got saved we threw out seems like a small fortune in things at the time we weren't saved to be no problem for us but when God opened our eyes we seen what an effect they had on us.                                                            In His Service TEN COMMANDMENTS

I agree on the housecleaning thing. And, sometimes things creep back in without you even realizing it, so a period cleaning is a good idea!!

I had the same problems my friend and heres the steps I took to fight it:

- Filtered out which sites I went to, so I wouldnt be tempted. ( The eyes are the source really )

- Filtered out the movies and magazines I read.

- If tempted, I prayed on the spot and rebuked Satan in the name of Jesus and immediately left and did something active like shoot some hoops. This way, the Lord always delivered me. AND the beautiful thing is when u get used to this it isnt much of a problem anymore.

I pray for you and good luck.

Thank you so much Christ servant for being willing to help me out. I'm truly blessed to have found this site and to have met you through this site. I hope we can grow in our fellowship and may God be the center. Well I have been very good for the past 3 days, thankfully I have not stubbled once. I have been doing a lesson to be delivered, someone told me about a site where they help people who struggle in my area as well as other sins. So im doing that for 60 days.

Well I'm a 21 year old female, in Oh. I love art, playing basketball, and reading. How about you?

Smile,

I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better. I've done several studies similar to what you are talking about. One of them is called "Steps to Freedom in Christ." It is taken from the book, "The Bondage Breaker." If you ever get a chance to read that book, please do. It helped me tremendously!! You can purchase a workbook with it that has worksheets that can be copied multiple times, too, so it can be done with a group. It also has a lot in there about deliverance.

Well, I used to be from Ohio. That is where I lived half of my life. The rest of my life has been spent in the southern states. I presently live in SC. I am more than twice your age and have four children ages 30, 28, 26 & 24. All are married except my 28 yr old daughter, who has a boyfriend. My husband and I have a church that meets in our home that is comprised of young adults, ages 18 to 32, so we mainly hang out with people much younger than us. In fact, we had them all over here tonight for a 4th of July party, and they'll be back tomorrow night, too.

I truly do hope and pray that you continue with your deliverance Bible study. You will have to go against your feelings a lot, I know, but never, never give up!!!!
