Christianity Oasis Forum

GOD is faithful even when we are not. yesterday, the lust of my flesh was consuming me. the desire to do that which the bible calls an abomination seemed insurmountable. when i could do nothing else, i cried out to GOD in the shower, under my breath so my hubby couldn't hear, but desperately none the less. i gave in to that temptation, but at the front of my mind i continued to quietly pray for a way out. as my husband and i visited our once favorite hang outs for fulfillment of our sinful sensual desires, nothing happened. there were no players to participate in our game illicit sex and homosexuality. we made our way thru the day with one more opportunity to do it, but glory to GOD, my hubby was not able to go thru with it.
this may seem like a failure to some of you, but i see it as deliverance. HE held me up and made me stand. the desire has grown considerably less than it used to be, but in those times, all i can do is look to HIM to do that which i am not strong enough to do.

The things we once desired become less when we spend time with the Lord. We want less of the worldly pleasures and more of God. Hang in their sis...God loves you and He wants to help you fight the temptations...remember God always gives us a way out of temptation...I also wanted to note here that there is a forum called SOS...it is a forum for members who struggle with sexual addictions.

Praying for you.

luv ya

hi, huelsingbroad

sis, ya have to know that the closer you get to the Lord and the freedom He gives us..the more the enemy is going to try to tempt you to go back to the old man ways. we all fall and fail, and as you have done here, we get back up, dust off, and move forward..in His strength and grace. Keep on praying for your hubby, too. This is a daily process.

God bless you, my sister in Him. Keep fighting the good fight.

in Jesus,
love momo
