Hey you all. I would like to share a testimony with you to the Glory of God. I asked God, sincerely, "Is the m-word wrong?" I posted this on another thread. Anyhow, I fell in a sleep was given this scripture. Romans 12:1-2. Glory to God. He answered my prayer and it was so quick. I was amazed.
I have been studying this scripture and will compile some tips for you.
Romans 12: 1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
*Ok, you have to renew your mind. Read the word or try to make a point to incorporate it in your schedule. When you are tempted in your mind, repeat this scripture in you mind and say it aloud. This has helped me before.
*Eliminate things in your life that will induce you to be tempted, especially if you aren't strong. So, if you want to see a movie but you have found out there will be certain scenes, then you shouldn't go until you are strong and your mind is affected by such things.
*Also, when you are in the midst of the temptation, pray if your bible isn't around but def. remember some scriptures.
*And lastly, think of God's goodness and how you really want to do the will of God. We are made to glorify God and when we disobey we aren't doing this. Something else: When God let his son die for us, our sins. He didn't have to do that but because he loves us and doesn't want us to perish, he let the ultimate sacrafice be taken. His pure son Jesus. Remember he didn't have to but he is good to us and he loves us that much. Just think, he didn't want us to go to hell. We are such small creatures, but doesn't it show how good he is that he would even care about us in this way.
God made us, so why shouldn't we obey him? Why wouldn't you obey one that made you? Of course he knows what is best because he designed every part of our being just as it says in the bible that he knows how many hairs are on our head.
I mean, he really is more than worthy and the truth is, we aren't but he has deemed us worthy to be his servants. I am more than happy to serve him.
That is why you should do his will. Renew your mind, lean on him and not to your own understanding.
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
