^^^Sweety, when u **** your flesh, it's sort a form of clensing so to speak. As human beings, we are naturally creatures of the flesh. So in order for us to fall in line to God's will, we have to **** our flesh daily, repent, and ask God to give us to strength and wisdom to follow his holy spirit.

Its not easy to just up and change your life around. But its definately worth it. Giving your life to God is the best decision you can make. And by doing that He will make things better for your life. Although that you give your life to God doesn't mean its all going to be a piece of cake because its not. Because you have given your life to God things might seem a little harder,cuz now that the Devil knows you have made a commitment to God He' only try harder to get you to turn away. But don't worry because God knows exactly how much you can take and He'll never put more on you than you can bare. He promised. I know at times it might seem like you just can't make it but the only reason the Devil starts hitting you like he's hitting you is because he has literally looked into your future and see's what great things God is going to do for you. Look at it this way: Why wouldn't you give your life to God? He has done nothing wrong to you. He sends his angels down while you sleep to watch over you until morning and He gives you another day. God gave His son to you so that you may live and have eternal life. Jesus died for YOUR sins. Everyone of them! He has already prepared a place for you. Who wouldn't want eternal life in a mansion? Just think about it. If you have any questions juss ask. :grin:
Gul...u betta stop preachin up in hea! :grin:
To the young ladies that are questioning their walk, just know that God's arms are alwayz open. The word says that he is good and his mercy endureth forever. He will never leave u nor forsake u. He is a patient God. You can come to him as u are, and he will not judge u or look any less of u. He already knows the very intricacies of your heart and spirit. He designed u. So whatever u are thinking and feeling, he already knows. He's just waiting for u to come forth. All it takes is a simple "yes Lord". As Floetry said, "all ya gotta do is say yes..."
PM me if u have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk. I'm ya sistah and i'm open.
one of my favorite scriptures..."Who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies" Proverbs 31:10.
I would encourage all women seeking a sense of stability and affirmation to read that verse all the way to verse 31. I hope it ministers to u
I fall short, as all humans do, but I know the Lord and on a deep personal level. I'm working on things but he has and will always be apart of my life...a major part. Without God where would I be. I'm thankful for his amazing grace, peace, joy, and love.
Cosigns.....God is good. All the time, God is Good!
Thank You Jesus!
Have A Bless Day!
The hardest part for me is overcoming my surroundings. I didnt grow up in church and I never knew much about GOD. Anyway, a lot of times I feel like I can't relate to other Christians. I feel like I could never live up to their lifestyle even though I know that they are not perfect. It's llike I read the Bible and I listen to people preach and I think, I could never be like that.
Yes u could hun. I was raised in the church all my life, and believe me when i say that everyday is a struggle. I don't always do the things that i am supposed to do, i don't always say the things that i am supposed to say, and sometimes i go astray. But we serve a God who is merciful and forgiving. He is patient and all he wants is for us to come to him...even in the midst of our sins. He just wants a relationship with us.
I'm saved and proud of it! Man I've had the hardest time struggling with everyday life, and I've grown up in church (I'm a PK, and NO I"M NOT BAD...sneaky a lil bit but not bad!)...Ive been saved since I was about 10 and I JUST recommitted my life to Christ this past summer...and it's not easy AT ALL...but the best thing about being saved is that no matter how much u screw up, God is there waiting to forgive u each time. His grace and mercy NEVER runs out! And I love that about him.
PLEASE dont waste time...I'm reminded daily about how life is short. U could be here today, gone tommorrow...where would u be if u died?
K lemme get off my soapbox lol...

I was the same way. I didn't grow up in the church, and my family still aren't rooted. I think the mindset you have is somewhat right. Your not worthy to be called a child of God. Your not strong enough by yourself to live holy. None of us are.
God is the source of all our strength and he is what enables us to avoid sin. In Psalms 119:9 it talks about how can we stay rooted in Christ. In our minds it seems so complicated because we ourselves can only do so much, but God's presence simplifies everything. That scripture goes on to give us to give us the answer which is to hid his word in our hearts. If we read his word as we should, and pray, habitual sin can and will cease. Not by our own strength but God's. When we give him the time in our lives he will truly show himself through our actions and the changes that takes place.
Come as you are. The temple is the hospital and God is your doctor. He expects people who are misguided or in sin to come to him.

I must agree. I accepted Christ at 18 and it was the best thing I'll ever do in my life. Now that I'm in college and I truely understand what it means to except Jesus in my heart as my Lord and Savior, there is no one or nothing that can stop me from walking with. See I have peace, joy, and love that is more than just fulilng from God. God is just amazing!!! If anything I can say to you about giving your life Christ is that I promise it will be the best thing you have ever done.
Ok yall, yall are about to make me cry... I was raised in the church, so i know at somepoint i would go back.. More so now i have been calling on the Lord for differant things, but its like i dont think that i will get the answers i want if i dont have a relationship with him. I have a friend that got saved last summer, he wasnt the type to go to church and wasnt raised in the church, but when he got saved i started noticing a change in him that i recognized from being in church, his whole everything was different.. then he decided that i wasnt someone that he should be around I'm not a bad person, i do the things that i do and when he got saved i supported him 1000% but he told me that because i'm not on what he's on and i dont go to church as often as he does then we cant be cool.. Then recently my boyfriend started seriously going to church.. and i saw how when he commited his life to God how things started moving for him, Now i am saved, but i have strayed. This year i have been struggling with getting back in church. Cause when i went to Basic training i was in church every Sunday. but when i got out i stopped going. So for all of you that read this to the end.. Pray my strength in the Lord, becuase i know right now i cant do it by myself and i need as much prayer and help as i can get
