When the feeling gets overwhelming

[Mortyr79]

What can i do when the feeling gets overwhelming that my mind yells at me to sin again.
Im really trying to stop but i keep failing miserably and i feel so deppressed afterwards. No one i know has respect for what im trying to do and that is to be free of this so that dont help me much either, the only person who really is trying to help me is me

hi brother,

We here have much respect for what you are trying to do. Many times others don't understand and don't know how to help.

It'd be good to find someone, a man in your church, or pastor, someone you trust who can be an encourgement and accountability partner as well.

There's a site called www.settingcaptivesfree.com

They have programs for various struggles, short daily reads for 30 days and also have a mentor who emails you or makes comments in your thread.

Even though they have a mentor, it's best to have one in real life, but I know the folks here will offer you support brother.

Remember too God is for you.

God bless,
tapero

Your body and mind are the servants of the human spirit (the real you), not the bosses. You have to put them in their proper place. Find all the scriptures you can concerning whatever sin is harassing you. Get stone cold determined, or even better, spitting mad to win this battle, and yell back with those scriptures. Keep at it as long and often as necessary. When you hit what athletes call "the wall" and you don't think you can stand the pressure for another second, push even harder. Once you break through that barrier, you'll need to stay on the offensive, but you'll find it's a downhill ride from there to your freedom. This isn't some psychological game. Those scriptures are supernatural and will do the lion's share of the fighting. You'll understand what I mean after you win your first battle.

practice between failures ... I will ....do or not do...
Lord I open and close each day .... refuse to do this , Jesus !

plan you day , work , sleep , leisure ... boredom and idle hands are the fertile ground for failure ....

work in yard , garden , write letters , help others , join a club ... keep both your hands and mind busy ..

proverbs 24.16 ... pick yourself up , dust yourself , off , learn from the fall , get up and go again till you get it right

tapero - right on! SCF is a great deliverance ministry

plmarquette - also right on! Be prepared

Mortyr79 - Two things that you can do but that are not the be-all, end-all (see above) to getting well:

Find alternate distractions - sports, friends, the arts, whatever. Don't allow yourself to get into situations where satan can build that feeling to the overwhelming stage

Get rid of temptations - You haven;t given us much detail. If porn is part of the problem, cut off your supply. Get rid of ANY visual stimuli that may trigger the feelings you feel. And I mean, get rid of it, not just put it away.

Hey Brother... I sent you an e-mail over a month ago on this very subject... I hope you had an opportunity to seriously consider what I had to say..

Unfortunately, other than what I have already said, I really don't have much more useful advice, other than to say I can pray for you (but I said that earlier as well...)
