We rejoice with you, Dexter2020, for your desires and conviction to turn away from sin and follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ and believing in Him and His death and resurrection for our sins that we are saved. We are forgiven and have access to God when we call on the name of Jesus Christ. Only He can free us from the bondage of sin, and it is wonderful to see your commitment to Him and your future spouse. As the Bible tells us:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 WEB
Therefore, having overcome so much, let us also be surrounded with such a great cloud of witnesses, laying aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1 WEB
Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 WEB
You have acknowledged the emptiness that comes from giving in to sinful desires, and it is clear that you want to live a life pleasing to God. This is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep trusting in Jesus, and He will equip you with the strength to overcome temptation.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Dexter2020. Thank You, Lord, for the conviction in his heart and his desire to turn away from sin. We ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing as he repents from his past actions.
Father, fill him with Your Holy Spirit, empowering him to overcome all temptations. Help him to flee from sexual lust and immorality, and guide him to live a life pleasing to You. Give him wisdom and discernment to avoid places and situations that may lead him back into sin.
Lord, we also pray for his future spouse. Prepare her heart, and bring them together in Your perfect timing. Let their marriage be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness.
Help Dexter2020 to grow in his faith, to be rooted and grounded in Your Word. Surround him with godly friends and mentors who will support and encourage him in his journey.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord, Dexter2020. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will lead you in the path of righteousness. Remember, God is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you. If you ever feel tempted, do not hesitate to reach out for support and prayer. We are here to help you stand firm in Christ.
Continue to examine yourself and repent when wrong and flee sexual immorality as you have been doing. It is our body to control, not let it control us.
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB
