Sins of the flesh are like stray dogs as long as you feed them they will hang around your house. As soon as you starve them they will leave.
If they come back remember to not feed them . Even if you think they are cute .
Stray dogs will bite you.

For anyone that is struggling with repetitive sin, Ask God for forgiveness for He is faithful and will forgive your sins and ask him to help you repent and overcome that sin. Let me tell you something I struggled with repetitive sin too and now I am free from it, The secret for overcoming sin is God’s help and not giving up, The Lord will help you so dont give up!

I've been struggling with alcohol and porn. Everytime I do it I ask for forgiveness. But I feel as though I'm stopping at justification. I know I need to be sanctified. But I feel as though I'm too weak to discipline myself. I want to bring glory to God, I want to live a holy life. But I feel as though I can't. If anybody reads this. Please pray for me. And if you'd like. Give me a piece of advice. Thanks and God bless.

I struggle with porn and sexual sin. I also have pure o, which is a mental health disorder that comes with ocd, it brings intrusive evil and horrific thoughts, i cant begin to explain the amount of guilt and sinfulness i feel within my self every day. Videos like this help me allot. Please pray for me, and my family, that our relationship with God strengthens and that we can overcome all of our problems. God bless

[beatriz]

I made the same mistake multiple times, I try to stop and I can't, and even though God forgives me, I can't forgive myself

[natalieghana]

Thank you, i sinned badly today and I am a born again christian, I prayed for forgiveness and by watching this video it really consoled me that God is always forgiving and we always get chances if we pray and ask for forgiveness,

[GrandmaKittyWalkers]

How evil must my heart be that I continue in my sins and transgressions against Jesus. Why am I like this? :'(

[edmondhylenaj]

Lord I ask you for forgiveness, please Lord heal me, touch my heart and make me walk the right path. Please whoever sees this pray for me, I am living with a broken heart right now and it is so hard sometimes I cant even breathe .

"if you didn't earn your salvation to start with, how are you gonna unearn it?" wow that one hit home

[colton]

The most useful answer to victory over sin is God’s grace. By grace we are dead to sin and alive to God, by the grace of Christ we are empowered to say no to sin and yes to Him!!! It’s amazing.

[glentaekha]

God please forgive all my sins, please have mercy on me

Thank you for answering, Pastor Keller! In 2012 I suffered a brain aneurism that put me in a coma for 4 weeks. When I regained consciousness, I was told that I said about my wife of 17 years, "I'm not sure who she is, but I think I like her a lot." (And no, I don't recall even SAYING this!!!) To hear my story, search YouTube for "Charles Frank Kurtz." Then spread word that miracles STILL happen! For me to be alive to say that might not sound like much, but to me and my family, even THAT is a miracle!!!

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
