ugh i'm so happy. last night i overcame this temptation with God's help. it was 1% me and 99% God. i was on the edge of sinning and falling into lust and selfish desires - BUT WE DID IT YAY. i still struggle with lust on other levels and in everyday things, but this is a big win haha.
if i can choose God and Jesus over temptation, YOU can definitely do it.
trust me, i am one of the weakest people ever when it comes to choosing God over sin - obviously that is stupid, but last night will be one of many!
anyway, less about me:
if you're really struggling with something similar to me or feel hopeless about being able to overcome temptation or you have doubts about turning to God when you feel pressured - please know that it really does get better.
Romans 7:17-20 says, "So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me."
When you keep CHOOSING to surrender and to persist in prayer to God, something inside you will begin to change. I guess you could say it is the Holy Spirit. Though, something inside of us will know and begin to dislike the sin we once used to be so attached to.
have hope for yourself.
Once we are saved, we will be justified, then sanctified by the spirit of Jesus!
justification and sanctification are two key words to remember in your heart.
i'll be praying for you and your struggles!
