Dear Lin,

Thank you for the warm welcome! Thank you for the encouragement. I know I'm not alone in this! But this is also my biggest fault. In no other sin have I taken advantage of our Lords love and grace and mercy towards me then in this and it hurts me, it discusts me and I'm tired of it. As paul put it, "O wretched man that I am..."

Your husband is blessed to have you stand by him through this and support him. I could only imagine this if it were me, to be married and still being pulled every way by this beast and the pain it could cause on my wife. I've' seen what it does to marriages, i've seen what it does to couples, i've seen what it does to a man. Stay strong Lin! Your husband is trully blessed to have your support, I pray He is free'd from that bondage completely one day.

Well Alex, I'm impressed with your reply. You have not lost any of your vigor for this truth, but you said "it's never been stronger," i can tell! You are a very unusual young man to feel the way that you do and I know that you know that.

I pray that you will continue to desire to obey Him above all things. He sees you in your struggles and your not giving up is important. He knows your weaknesses, after all He made you that way.

mercy, peace and love
Kat

Thank you Kat, i guess there exists no simple answer to this other then to wait on the Lord. I suppose I'll wait... impatiently as always hehe.

Hi Alex.Good to have you back. 8)

  Your desire not to sin is something that all of us would like to kill in ourselves,but,since God created us in a weakened state, us sinning machines can only rely on our God to remedy that condition of our carnal heart.That in and of itself is a good thing, because we can then come to a point in our lives when the sin that we commit starts to make a change within,for the better,and we no longer desire to be in a state of sin and to dwell in the unrighteousness of our choices. That then can bring about the desire[from God] to not want to commit sinful desires of a fleshy heart and ultimately bring us to our knees in a way to worship and obey our Loving Lord. After all, are we not here to learn that the flesh profits nothing and that Spirit is life. I'll tell you what,turning from our sinful nature and wanting to do what is right is no easy task,it takes Christ in us,giving us what we need Spiritually in order to succeed in things Spiritual. If any one of us thinks that this can be done from within our own carnality,well, good luck on that one.
 
God is responsible for His creation and the outcome of it. Don't beat yourself up to much over the condition that God has put you in,because,all that we must go through is for the good of Him that controls and desires of His own good will and unending Love for His creation. Just like some people would like to have us believe that a ten second sinners prayer will bring about salvation without God first doing the calling, and the dragging, and the chastising, not to mention the time needed to have His creation work out the details in ones own heart and mind,that will in turn,through Him,give us the desire to want to repent and do the right thing. It is a life long process that will not end until we are created anew in Spiritual bodies that are not corrupt and dying.When Jesus comes and lives in us as the Comforter that He is, then we can begin to die to self and thank God for it. His Love for us will not fail.

In the mean time all we can do is fight the good fight and call on our Loving Father in Heaven and ask and pray that His will be done so that our progression in our Spiritual walk,here on this earth,at this time,can and will proclaim His victory by how the Fruits of the Spirit are working within ourselves to want to do what is right, just as our Lord has intended from the beginning,that being,His righteous desires,not our sinful ones.Ask God in prayer like you mean it and mean it when you ask for it and the Holy Spirit will not fail you.


Peace...Mark

--- Quote ---Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin

How exactly does one do this? How do I serve the law of God with my mind when at times my very own thoughts betray me to lust and do things I don't want to? You said thats the answer to this and if this is how it needs to be for now then i'd atleast like to be able to to have peace of mind knowing I serve the law of God with my mind.

Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

You want to do good, that's serving with your mind. The flesh part you already get.
