Please Help! Sin Is Destroying My Life. by Priceless007: 8:51pm On Feb 20, 2017
Hello disciples of Christ and believers in the Truth and Grace. Please help me out as I am drifting away from Christ to my destruction rapidly by the day. I am a believer in Christ and I used to be a fervent and devoted Christian. But things began changing when I got a job. I began indulging in all kinds of worldly life and sin. Both in my workplace and outside, I yield to diverse sin of the flesh from time to time. Though each time I do these things my conscience drives me into depression. I always have this premonition in my spirit about the imminent consequences of my sins just before I fall into it. I have a habit of studying the bible , as I have a gift of understanding what the bible truly teaches (despite the fact that I commit sins as frequently as I study the bible). And moments after I might have yield to this temptation of the flesh, guilt overwhelms me and I suffer terribly both physically and spiritually until I get depressed from guilt, and I'll cry and pray for forgiveness for sometime and then the gloomy state leaves me. This trend has continued like this for a long time now, despite the fact that I beg God everyday in my life to save me once and for all from this evil bondage of sin. And at this point the guilt and suffering has become too great that I am losing hope in God's ability to reach out to me and help. As I feel deeply lost and discouraged at the moment and on the verge of a terrible decision that the consequence could be disastrous. Though I still have belief that God can save me through the right channel. And I know that there are believers out there who have been through what I'm experiencing now, or those that have witnessed someone who came out of this victorious and are testimonies of God's saving grace and divine turnaround, either through a group of God-fearing believers or individuals. Please I need you to reach out to me and save me from destruction. As what I just wrote here is nothing close to describing the battle I'm going through right now. I need believers to give and share their thoughts and prayers with me please. I will be glad to reach you too please.
NB: Please I'll welcome only well meaning thoughts and encouragement from Christian brethren. Thank you and God bless.

The spirit is willing but the body is weak.... Trying to fight sin is like telling God u can do it on ur own.. But whatever d case may be, just continue asking for mercy

Your flesh is strong and your spirit is weak, fasting will help weaken the flesh and consistency in prayer and fasting with a constant daily dose of the word of God will keep sin away from you in a matter of time.
Well you did the right thing by admitting your state and seeking help, May the good Lord strengthen you.

Relax...I know how you feel but first get rid that feeling of condemnation...it is not of God. I sense it is the sin of fornication that is holding you down. Whichever sin it is, first calm down and talk to God sincerely. Thanks that you do have a premonition before it happens; that means you have not been left on your own. In every race, there is a time to learn and be wise. Let's not deceive ourselves, the reason we love sin is because sin has some pleasure. That's why you can't leave. Sin will encourage you and come back to insult and torment you. You have to close the door. You have opened a door, and you have to close it..that's the first step. If not, you will keep repeating the same circle..i don't know the spiritual door to sin you have opened. How will I say this? It is not the actual sin you are weeping over now....but it is something that is feeding this present one. If you do not, in the innermost of your heart forsake this pleasure, you can't escape it....

Then, start reading the word and be given to intense prayer. When you start feeling the urge, desperate times requires desperate measures...if it is a place you can pray immediately, pls do. You are a soldier, you too should know that a demon have been assigned to you to ensure you won't escape but there is always a way of escape. Try to live daily, not a week or a month....be happy when you don't engage in whatever today, the next day is another chapter..start afresh again...and don't dwell too much thoughts on the sin or else you will be led towards it. Fight daily and soon, the lord will get you victory. Draw closer to God and he will draw closer to you, and be careful of the company you keep. Peace.

You have not grown to the level required and your flesh is still overpowering your spirit. No matter your schedule, endeavor nothing replace your daily devotion of the Holy Bible and don't just read the text but practise them. You should also have a fixed time you pray daily.

How can sin destroy him for whom Christ died?
I command in Christ's authority that sin dies in you now!!!
This state is demonic where one no longer have power over emotions and affections. God bids me tell you 4 Things:
i. You will need Grace and Faith - 'for by grace are ye saved, that not of yourselves it is the gift of God' - Eph 2:8-9 nd'....whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life' - John 3:16
ii. You will need to resist the devil steadfastly, he will flee from you - James 4:7...Cast him out by quoting the word frequently, flee all apperances of the evil - I Thess 5:22
iii. You will give yourself to constant study of the word and prayers...'thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against me' - Psalm 119:11
iv. You will engage in constant fellowship in a Bible based church - Heb 10:25
My friend, I was through hell also myself but God delivered me by Grace through Faith..I held on to Gods promises and cast out the demon and today satan cant look me in the face...The host of hell bow before me and sin has run away cos when my spirit, the flesh listens in full submission to Gods will because Phil 2:10-11 says 'he has given him a name above all names that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and the tongue confess that Jesus is Lord', Rom 6:14 says 'sin shall not have dominion over you', II Peter 1:3 says 'according to his divine power, he hath given us all things thay pertain to life and godliness', Psalm 119:133 says 'order my steps according to your word, let not any iniquity have dominion over me'....
Please reach me and lets pray together and I believe God that after the simple prayer the host of hell nd sin, will give up on you.
Im praying for you.

Re: Please Help! Sin Is Destroying My Life. by enshy: 8:46am On Feb 21, 2017
Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to your cross I cling
Naked come to thee for dress, helpless to thee for Grace
Foul I to the fountail fly
Thou must save and thou alone

I need no other argument, I need no other plea
Its enough that Jesus died and He died for me

O how to world to evil allures me
O how my heart is tempted to sin
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone

Does Jesus care when Ive tried and failed to resist some temptation strong
When for my deep grief, I find no relief
Though my tears flow all the night long
I know He cares O yes He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary and the long nights dreary, I know my Saviour cares!

He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of Iron...My Friend, thou art loosed...Ure walking free and God give you dominion over sin and hatred for sin..Amen!

Your admittance to your sins is an indication of a lively conscience. Make efforts to abstain from those things that tends to lead you into sin.



Most importantly, study the Bible and ask for God grace not to yield into sin.


Would have asked you to frequent the sacrament of reconciliation and pray the rosary. But then, I know you aren't a Catholic.

You don't understand the bible as you claim. Understanding of scriptures is what we call revelation (light), you can have it in any area and not prevail.

Understanding is hearing God's instructions on an issue. Following those instructions is wisdom.

Don't study to learn the scriptures, study to be like God.

Hi Priceless007,
I don't know what struggle you may be dealing with but my heart goes out to you cause you are in an intense spiritual battle and I can relate. I don't know anyone on the planet who isn't struggling with something. When we engage in activities that give the demonic realm access to us, it then begins a long and difficult struggle to depart from the sin or sins. I see that you already know that you are deeply entrenched in some sins...but you have a desire to stop. The Holy Spirit hasn't left you yet. But you are gonna have to fight like you've never fought before...like your life depends on it...cause in reality..it does! Your soul is at stake...The enemy NEVER gives up...if you have been living on his side for awhile..he has no intentions of letting you go and be a force for the Kingdom of God. But the good news is God NEVER gives up either. The choice, however, is yours. And you know you cannot be neutral. It's either one side or the other. You must be determined to overcome the sins that so easily have you entangled. And you can only do so through Christ Jesus' strength and power.
Christ does not desire for us to have a "roller coaster" life. One day we're "up" and the next day we're "down". We win the battle one day only to lose the battle the next. Then the guilt begins and depression sets in. We are more than "overcomers" through Christ Jesus and Him alone.
You have to employ some practical means also. You have to do like Joseph did when Potiphar's wife refused to take "no" for an answer. You may have to "run" from sin...not slowly walk or crawl away...(secretly hoping that sin will catch up to you). Trust me..I'm also talking to myself here. You have to guard your eyes and ears. It's so important what you allow into your mind (negative thoughts, feelings, images, etc. that don't elevate but help destroy). You've gotta let the opposite saturate your mind. You know Phillipans 4:8 I'm sure.
It's not gonna be easy. Nothing ever is that is really worth anything.
We are in this world...but fight the good fight of faith. Believe that you will overcome through Christ.
You are added to my prayer list.

Dwayne's testimony may not be anywhere near what you are seeking deliverance from. However, it's a testimony of what God brought him out of and how he's being used for God now.
