PRACTICAL STEPS: Split Second Thoughts... 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 - "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Prayer...
Matthew 26:41 - "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 1 Kings 19:11-12 - "Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice." Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Accountability... Ephesians 2:19-22 - "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit." Ephesians 4:25-26 - "Therefore, putting away lying, 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,' for we are members of one another." James 5:16 - "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." "For if we have been united together in
the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness
of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified
with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we
should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been
freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from
the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For
the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life
that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves
to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 6:5-11)
