What Does Repentance Look Like?
Hello Everyone!
Today was not a good day! I succumbed to my sinful action called masturbation. So right now I am not doing the things that I need to do in preventing this act. What are the things I need to do? Maybe the list I will produce may help you if you have this battle with your flesh. They are the following:
a)Drop to my knees and cry out to God whenever tempted to commit this sin.
b)Read the Word – the Bible if you are not a believer.
c)Write down those Scriptures that encourage me against this sin that links towards pornography and adultery.
d)Memorize those Scriptures.
e)Do not view any more secular programming, i.e. secular TV shows, secular R-rated, PG-13 rated, PG-rated movies.
f)Establish a Christian male mentor who can hold you accountable for dealing with this sin.
I need to build a Spiritual wall around me preventing myself from sinning or making it easier to commit that sin. Besides doing all of this action, I must also declare repentance from this sin. I need to make a firm decision to stop this sin and commit to that decision with a full reliance on Jesus Christ.
So, now I repent from masturbating, watching pornography, and having any thoughts from them. This will stop the adultery in my heart and walk as a Born Again Christian.
At the end of this post, you will find Scriptures that will help me from this sin and help you if you struggle with this same battle.
May God bless you and help you with your walk with Jesus Christ. I also declare this for myself. My prayers are with you, my brothers and sisters.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14 – NIV)
