Repentance

[bannaboat101]

Ok I told you lot that I'm changing but I'm taking the setting captives free course about repentance but I'm lost I don't even get what the repentance is.

Ok the problem is I want to repent I want to turn away and I know that I have in a way but I still find myself looing at guys re-ends and front ends and I just get tempted and the thoughts get back. I feel like I can't do it and I want to do it.

I'm honestly getting my doubts and giving up faith I don't want to give up because I have been doing really good

I really need somebody to tell me about repentance I do I'm like lost here.

Hey. First, I want to say that temptation is a part of human nature, and it's going to happen. You can't control the temptations, but you can control giving into it! Stay strong, and don't give in!

As for repentance, I believe that part of it has to do with wanting to change, and trying your best to change.

Two things that helped me while going through the Setting Captives Free course.

This is a sermon by Spurgeon on Godly sorrow and repentance. It had a tremendous impact on me.

Sorrow and Sorrow

Second, I actually had a "Come to Jesus" moment. It led me to write the poem I will link you to below. What broke me won't necessarily be the same for you, but the main point is that we need to see how our sin impacts God. I hope it helps.

Repentance means you no longer want to do something, and acknowledge that to God, along with confession. But that does not automatically eliminate associations learned by habits and past behaviour. These then are what cause us to struggle, as we must relearn new behavious, attitudes etc. Keep at it, and don't get discouraged that your repentance has not been genuine.

Your Poem
Man that touched me That is something what I want to see that really opened my eyes. Also I thought I would print the course and go over it I've done about two times know and I understand it much better. I finally thought what I said was rediculues I was under a demonic atack so I know I can repent because I already have on homosexuality it is masturbation that I need to work on.

By the way I didn't read the message by spurgeon but he is an extremely great guy. I have on of his devotional Books called morning and Evening and I can't keep my face out of it and I also got a new English Standard Bible that allows me to understand things better and I looked in my concordinace on repentance and read it.
