Closing Thoughts
I know you might have clicked on this blog feeling hopeless. Perhaps even as. Last resort. Or maybe it’s your 70th time saying to God. “I promise this is the last time”.
The key to living a life of purity and victory is living a life yielded to the Spirit of God.
Practically that looks like accountability with a leader or trusted friend.
When the light of Jesus is shone on our hidden areas of sin. The power is nullified. When we share it with another, for the sake of freedom and accountability, the enemy loses his power to hold it over us (which he loves to do – no one knows about it you sicko, you’re trapped and live a double life).
The devil is a LIAR and wants to keep you trapped and stuck because he knows once you share your sin in the light, he has no way to shame you.
All that to say!
Your best days are ahead of you!
Days of freedom from lust, sin, porn and constant failing.
Jesus so loves you and all of heaven’s resources are at your disposal to help you overcome and win this battle.
Just ask God for help!
Gracias por este aporte en bien de quienes tenemos lucha con los deseos sucios del pecado sexual. Por favor, adicional a este aporte, apreciaré me apoyen en oración para vencer esta pasión que me acompaña desde mi adolescencia (hoy, soy un anciano de 72 años, y con 42 invocando a Yehováh). Estoy muy deprimido que, aparentemente, Yehováh no haya obrado liberación como he leído que otros lo han obtenido, lo han recibido. Pido porque Él me aumente la fe o, si aún no lo tengo, que me regale Su Espíritu porque creo en el nombre de Su Hijo, Yeshúa.
Gracias, amén.
