During this time of lock down, God revealed to me certain sin my life that I needed to get rid of and cut down. God showed me that I needed to destroy the harmful affects that porn/lust has on my life. A friend has come alongside of me and encouraged me in these struggles. He showed me that I need to give these struggles to God. I recently signed up for a service called Covenant Eyes that watches the lustful types of things I look at on my phone or computer.
God revealed to me how much we need to desire a life of holiness. Jesus died on the cross for sins and we are not to live a life bondage to our sins anymore. The apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:18, "you are bought with a price therefore flee from sexual immorality." God desires us to flee from the things that cause use to sin because of what he has done for us. We are to keep our minds away from these lustful desires that pull us in.
The Holy Spirit has convicted me of these sinful desires. He has helped me see my need to give these struggles to Jesus. In John 16:8, Jesus says the Holy Spirit will convict you of "sin, righteousness, and judgement." Also, in John 16:13, "when the Spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all truth." These two verses show that God has used his Holy Spirit to convict me of my sin and reveal to me how I need to surrender these sins to God.
As I close this post today I have two questions for you, how is God molding you into his image during the quarantine? What sins do you need to surrender to God?
