WE DIDN’T USED TO STRUGGLE WITH THESE SINS
All of our sins have a beginning point. Maybe it was a point of weakness, a need, a curiosity that made us start. Our actions became a way to cope with our situation, escape the pain, feel good, and our actions got results.
CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE
It’s important that we don’t minimize our sins. They are strongholds. Habitual sins. We are in bondage to them. We don’t like talking about that, do we? In fact we minimize our sins by calling them:
- Weaknesses
- Slips
- Thorns in the flesh
- Struggles
- Trials
WE GO AT HABITUAL SINS THE WRONG WAY
We think our own strength will help us find victory over these sins. We think we’ll outgrow them. We think that more bible reading, prayer, or fasting is the key. We might make vows to God and promises to ourselves. These things are important and have their place, but often they are OUR strategy and devoid of the power of God. We “man up” and try to conquer our sins, then fall flat.
