I can openly confess that I, myself, am struggling with temptation regarding masturbation and, myself and my girlfriend are both struggling with sexual sin. God have mercy on me, I have fell to the temptation so many times. The past while it has been getting better but, because each time I would have sinned I had the urge to fight back against the devil even more. Please just give me/us a prayer, I'm sure many men can see where I'm coming from. Thanks
I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ who lives in me and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. Gal 2:20
For I AM DEAD AND MY LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD. Col 3:3
Rom_6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom_6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Rom_8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
A dead person can't sin. You're dead in Christ. Jesus has already defeated sin. Sin has no dominion over you. You are dead to the world, but alive to God. A born again person lives by the spirit, not by the flesh.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The devil is already defeated. Jesus won the victory. Now, you have to renew your mind with the word of God and stand against any temptation know that sin has no dominion over you anymore.
Father, let your word hit it's mark in this son of yours in a powerful way. No to guilt, shame or condemnation, but to righteousness. In Jesus name. Amen
