temptations

Oct 04, 2005 01:14

its the craziest thing to be tempted as a believer. because while being tempted i have the knowledge of the truth that at His right hand there are pleasures forever. i should be over this but there is this one temptation that i cant get over. so im going to analyze it to death ( Read more... )

Will you make a point of praying for me? I have some things of which I am trying to repent. They always seem to grab hold of me again. I feel like if I don't get past this, I will die. Please pray.

yes, definately. i know that with my sin its scary to see myself prize something above glorifying God, and i just wish my weak flesh didnt cling to such nonsense. anyway, im praying for you. remember Christ is our Lord and one day we will be freed from this body of death.

Those who wait upon the Lord, will renew their strength,
they will soar on wings like the eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

You wait upon the Lord. This is you, my friends. Remember, He has given us a spirit of power, not of fear.

shame has no place with God girl!!! He loved you before and He loves you now.
And you know you are human so take it easy. No need to down on yourself for not being perfect - who is? It's where your HEART is that is the greatest - and it is with God, and you are not loving sin.
I am in a similar place as you and you know, He was ready for this and IS ready for it. And so are you, so don't even worry on it.

i dont even think in terms of being tempted,
i am surprised to say!
well, i'll be thinking about that now,
and be on my guard.
thank you.

True! danielfoofan October 10 2005, 06:30:29 UTC

I am not for certain what you are dealing with, but I do know that many sins are disguised to make us think that it is okay, and not wrong. I also know many sins seem harmless, and fun even. But I know that God does not want us to sin, and God is the creator of all things, and he is stronger than anything else in the universe. So if God doesn't want us to sin, then I suppose try and avoid sin at all cost, it's not easy, but it's necessary.

Hey It's Megan prplgrl November 28 2005, 16:19:50 UTC

I know it's been a long time. I couldn't call you before I left a couple of months ago because I didn't have your phone number. I know that this is a wierd way to reach you but I don't have your e-mail address either. We really need to get together. You me and Amy. There is so much to catch up on. That and I really want my diploma. Anyway, I guess we should exchange e-mail addresses and phone numbers and stuff so we can actaully get in touch. My e-mail is meganj14me@yahoo.com and my phone number is 830-393-8172. That's a land line. I don't have a cell phone at this point. It's probably safer to e-mail. I hope to talk to you soon. Megan
