Sincerely and God Bless,

In other words, God wanted them to remove all sin from the promised land. And He wants you to as well. All Christians that accept the Lord’s salvation are given much in the way of freedom from sin. In fact, they are given the power (God’s) to overcome sin…so it is expected in their walk with God for the Christian to "remove all other peoples or submit them to God". He needs you to learn all about sin, temptation, your unwillingness, the power of drawing close to Him, the bondage that you are freed from but persist in through your own desires.

All of what you will learn in this battle will be real, as the guilt and anguish you feel every time you must turn from God to sin…is real. But His promise is that He has overcome and will bring to completion that which He has begun. He also needs you to learn one very important and powerful thing. It may take you many years to learn it, but when you do…the sin will slowly fade.

That important thing is that He will never leave you or turn from you. He sees in you (your spirit that is alive to Him) a perfect creation. That is the work of the cross. He also sees the sinful nature and has indeed left it there for you to learn many things. But He will NEVER turn from you. You will turn from Him, but like the prodigal son’s father…He will always be overjoyed that you turn back to Him. And He will be there every single time.

You haven’t learned this yet because you probably feel He turns away from you. Trust me friend, I have know the Lord for 25 years and know of which you speak. And I have learned this one most important thing about God. He doesn’t make mistakes and He is the very definition of Faithful. He knows you through and through. Inside and out. he knows you must walk away when you follow temptation. He knows you know this. He knows you must willfully put Him aside to sin, knowing that you will turn back to Him later. At this time you know you can feel bad enough to humble yourself again. And you know that before you walk away, and you know when you come back…you will walk away again.

Sound familiar? If it does, then trust me. It is normal. It is the thorn (or one of them) that God has left in your side. It (and other things) will end up teaching you more than you can even imagine to hope for over the years. God turns us over, or allows our sin to still affect us. But the difference is that He is in the battle with you to get free. And God has promised freedom and victory. He doesn’t make mistakes or take stuff back. You will be free someday. That is your Hope. That is God’s promise. That is God and your work together. And from the lessons learned, the blessing received and the knowledge gained…your faith will grow.

You need to have patience in this. You need to trust God that He knows all about it. you aren’t getting anything past Him. he also knows you are but dust, and will treat you gently. You are forgiven already. Now the task is a long, long road to the realisation of that forgiveness and the power that comes from being free, knowing how you got there and the joy of arriving.

Be still. Know He is God. And trust me, He will never, never, never turn even slightly away from you in this or any other thing in your life. he is the Faithful one. And, over time, you will be His friend, companion and Faithful creation too.

You needn’t take my word for it. It will happen anyway. You will be free. In the meantime consider why and how it is that He is always there when you turn to Him. It’s your lack of trust in that faithfulness that you are interpreting as Him turning away from you. Have faith in His total, pure and freely given faith in you. Even in the deepest sin, NEVER stay away for even a second longer than you can help.

Godspeed friend

He was using the ‘hand’ to stand for whatever might get in our way of serving God.
So, to be successful, you must AVOID any of the people, places, entertainments which tempt you to so much as think of it; & destroy any & all of it that you have.

Whenever you feel the slightest urge to indulge in PORN, instead train yourself to have self-discipline: read one of the following articles as a substitute, whether you feel like it or not.
Print them out, keep them handy, and read them instead of even thinking of PORN, & as time goes by you will likely find that you are going longer & longer between turning their pages, until you don’t ever need to look at them, anymore . . .

He wants you free from this. Submit to God "resist" the devil and he will flee from you.

It takes prayer for help and it takes you getting to "work." That’s right. Gasp. You mean we have a responsibility? Absolutely.

Do whatever you need to do to get rid of this. If that means throwing out the computer then throw it out now. If that means putting the computer out in an open room where everyone can see what you’re doing then do it. If it means telling someone you love to monitor where you go on the internet then subject yourself to it. PROVE TO GOD THAT YOU ARE REPENTANT. ( Acts 26:20 )

You must work and you must endure. Self control is a "fruit of the Spirit."

Don’t you know that Jesus had to endure temptation? He was tempted in all things just as us yet He never sinned. Did that come easy? Was it "easy" for Him not to sin?

Was it easy for Him to endure the flesh? Consider this as I’m sure His flesh was tempting Him away from what He came to do:

Luke 22
39 Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

So rise and pray! You absolutely MUST get to work. Again, I say, a fruit of the Spirit is SELF control. You have a responsibility and you have the HOLY SPIRIT in you if you believe and it says the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak and you must get to work and endure.

Also, you must get someone involved in your life that you can trust. That you can be held accountable by. "Confess your sins one to another that you may be healed," it says in James.

It’s a dark secret and you have to expose it to the light and get someone to help you. Here is a website that might be of service: http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com.

They offer assistance with accountability on many issues such as drug abuse, alcoholism, gluttony, pornography, and many other things. They’re serious about getting sin out.

You’ve been called to walk Holy. BE FINISHED WITH THIS SIN! Walk in Holiness with Him. He will use you mightily when you’re walking in self denial and seeking the Spirit.

To walk in the Spirit means to deny flesh and when temptation comes you have to be prepared to endure the battle…it doesn’t matter what the temptation is. You have to be prepared to endure the lure of the flesh. You cannot walk in the flesh and the Spirit. You must choose. To walk in the Spirit means you must deny flesh and be prepared to endure. The temptation will go away for a season but you must endure. It will come and it will go. Endure! You will experience more and more victory.

Galatians 5:16
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

So stay encouraged. He forgives us seventy times seven but we don’t want to "go on sinning that grace may abound." ( Matthew 18:22, Romans 6:1 )

Blessings to you for victory by the only name under heaven by which men must be saved….the name of Jesus!
