1Pe 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Ray said this walk is the hardest thing we will ever do, if its not hard we are doing something wrong, while some aren't having the same battle you( me) are having believe me they have their battles.

Thank you for your answers,advices and your testimony, Terry!

To tell the truth, I still hate myself much more than porn for example, when I fall back. I know Ray wrote that we should hate the sin only then can it be removed from us, in God's time.
--------------

I always hated my self for being to weak to resist evil but God uses our weakness that we will in time hate our sin and cry out to him, remember this is an age to learn good and evil, you say you hate yourself more than porn I think you got that turned around, as bad as sin is I think God allows it to get us to a place that we realize we can't make it with out God,

I know its hard, do all you can to resist evil and God will see you through

Those verses are great encouragement, thanks for sharing, Terry!

Yeah, I completely agree that I should hate the sin more then myself. Well, I shouldn't hate myself at all : Mark 12:30-31 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.  The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

AwesomeSavior:
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it: and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them (Revelation 9:6).

"...I die daily" (1 Corinthians 15:31).

Perhaps God is using these verses to let us know of how this is such a slow, and daily, process, not only for ourselves, but for everyone who is going to be "cast into the lake of fire"?

Hello pg-91

My understanding is that God is sovereign , do you think backsliding nullifies Gods intention ? I believe whatever we experience is always Gods intention specifically designed for our lives.

Phonograph is a sin just like any other sin, it's good to remember lust knows no end and is never satisfied but the thing to understand is that only our creator can teach us righteousness and make us in His image.

I too like any other human being do things that in themselves tell me I'm not saved by any means and if anyone of us are to be saved in this aged it will take Divine intervention by our God .

Believe me when I tell you that no one on this site or in the world has the ability to save themselves. We should be trusting in our creator and in His Council for our lives.

Everyone here hopes to be saved in this age and rightfully so and who in their right mind would not want to be ? I personally don't want to do this human experience again in the next age but how would one feel if Gods intention says you are not save in this aged ? How would you feel ?

I know for a fact that all of Gods creation is subjected to hope , not the earthly hope we all know , you maybe hope for a new car but never got it or perhaps a house but didn't get that either or maybe wanted to date your favorite human being but that didn't happen either.

This hope that God has given us is real hope a hope that will manifest itself in reality. The bottom line is its what God wants and God knows what He's doing. Ray said the way to get every prayer answerd is to always end your prayer saying let your will be done.

And that is a good attitude to have in this life which is simply say to God when it comes to my life let your will be done .

God bless all .

Hi Gyula,
I'll just add one more thought to all the great advice I've read in this topic.
What has been of great help to me is remembering the words of our Lord; " If your right eye offends you, pluck it out" . What this has done for me in my struggles with the flesh is helped me to dip it in the bud. In other words just as soon an inappropriate thought enters your mind pluck it out fast, think of something else such as work, anything,  just don't entertain the thought.
James 1: " 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
If you stop it before it takes hold you'll receive a little help from above. I receive my greatest strength by practicing this.
As long as you're alive you never give up. Pray Pray Pray. God's Grace
