Biblical Conviction

ARE YOU LIVING FOR GOD?
ARE YOU HONORING GOD?
ARE YOU SANCTIFIED BEFORE GOD?
LOVE AND INTAMACY WITH GOD!
SAY "NO" to ungodliness.

BE REMINDED!

These are the things I wrote down on my stickies note.
So many times I fail, which is true because I am a sinner and I do stumble.
For readers, either Christians or non-believers, most of the time, I do chase after things that will turn to dust.
When I do sin, it feels like a sword sliced my spirit...and I lose my self-esteem.
When I do sin...especially with the danger of addictions...it feels like I have fallen into a pit.
When I fall into it, it spiritually hurts me...yes, it does hurt.
And when it hurts, it will take time for me to climb back up.
When I neglect that pain, it will be even hard to climb back up because I haven't let God lift me up instead using my own strength, thus giving myself a vulnerable attack from Satan.
Reminds me of Awana Camp, how I learned more about the Armour of God, always equip myself each morning.
I haven't been doing that.
I just wake up and walk out "naked".
When I do sin, especially breaking that covenant with eyes(Job 31:1), I am convicted that I am not only sinning against God, but also dishonoring her.
I confess.
There is a this girl in three of my classes who looks like her.
The way she dresses are modest....you know, casual wear.
I wasn't lusting on it, but I was idolizing it.
I was thinking...hmm, she and her do look kinda look alike, but why won't she dress up like her?
In my thought I was thinking, "Imagine she dressed up like that".
Full of depravity in my mind...full of wicked things that God hates...especially the inner me.
I hate those things, but the sin itself do it.
Reminds of what Paul said in Romans 7:7-25 when he was struggling with sin.
However, I am no longer a slave to the law of sin, but a slave to God's law.
I praise God...for His love for the world that He sent Jesus Christ to die for us so that die for all of us so that we won't perish, but have eternal life.
Through Jesus Christ, I no longer have to take pride in being good to the law.
What I mean is that following Jesus Christ and developing this personal relationship with Him is important.
As we continue to be obedient to Him, He will empower us with the Holy Spirit.
It is said that we are to be imitators of Jesus.
In the progress, I am continuing to recognize my sin a lot more.
Once I recognize it, repent from my sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I do desire to be sanctified each morning before God.
I do need reminders though or else I will walk astray...especially when I don't read the Bible.
Prayer Request
That I will have victory over my lust for others...battling with my eyes when I outside of my house, and battling my body inside of my house.

I am sorry my friend.
Last night or before, I had a dream about you.
In that dream, you told me you cannot be with me because you have a better person to be with.
You went off and be with that person.
Myself...isolated from you.
I wept.
I can say that I nearly lost trust on all the women when it comes to being in a relationship.
In that dream, I thought you were a hypocrite.
You told me you weren't ready for relationship, yet you want to be in a relationship, but with another better person.
I nearly lost trust.
Trust...is important.
If there is no trust, then a relationship or marriage will not even last.
I'll also throw out love just to give some contexts because it is also important.
Out of all that, Christ needs to be in the center of relationship and marriage.
He is the one who we need to look to.
For now, I need to work on that myself.
