hello guys,
Now its been a year ever since I became a Christian and it's really been amazing. I am now 22 years old so for 21 years of my life, it was just living in darkness; constantly sinning. Of course, sleeping with girls and pornography was part of my sinful life. Now that I became a Christian and I know its something I should stay away from, it's been really hard. Well, right after I became Christian it was a huge struggle. As time passed on, i saw myself becoming stronger through God's grace. But not strong enough. I know many brothers in Christ struggle with this. But I come here and really ask you guys for an advice or any some sort of help. I just dont want to be like this and I'm so sick of it. But my flesh and Satan is constantly tempting me.. and man.. every time I fall into temptation, its hard to get back up. I mean I probably fell many times but it seems like if I get a step closer to God but I fall into temptation, its like stepping 3 steps back.. so what i do is I just rebuke the enemy in jesus name, and speak truth that Jesus died for my sins, I have holy Spirit in me that can overcome this. Tell myself to walk in the spirit not flesh. Dig into the words. pray. repent. and not be condemned. but i cannot help but to feel so crappy. please help!!!!!!!! pleaseeee
thank you love you all
