exynos: And what is wrong with that? ... don't ever believe you can live a sinless life.... the reason why you pray and ask for forgiveness of sins... the reason why you pray and ask for strength to resist temptations.... to be strong in faith. Overzealousness is not something to pray for... nor strive for.... that os not in the plan. When Jesus freed the ox or whatever from the field on the Sabbath.... didn't the overzealous Sabbath keepers jacked Him up for breaking the Sabbath? What was His response? Great job!... you guys are really enforcing the Word?.... or ehmmm....... don't get it twisted....the Sabbath was made for man.... not man for the Sabbath? I suggest you read Romams 12..... and let verse two be your basic guide. 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie: Not to quarel or say anything bad but he said that he is trying and sometimes he knows and sees that he is getting it right at one moment, then, suddenly, he is back, doing all the things he knows not to do and he did not really desire to do. So I think he is asking how does he acquire the character of Doing Only That Which is Right (Righteousness). |

exynos: How do I tend to increase my overzealousness in serving God for a lifetime? Ecclesiastes 7: 16 Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time? 18 It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes. Please, how do I go about administering a longterm relationship with the Lord? Read......... Romans 12: 1- 21 all point expressed their covers all aspect of our life and activities not restricted to some time and place or particular day(s) of the week. 1 Like |

The first thing to do is to acknowledge your sins and ask the Lord to deliver you and forgive you . when you do that with all your heart, you will be delivered and given a power to live above sins . When the work of salvation is wrought in your heart, the power of God will give you victory over sin . May God undertake for you |

Rev. 2,3, just remember were you have fallen and repent. 1 Corinthians 6:9. KJV Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Christ is coming soon |

Dtruthspeaker:That is why I said OBEDIENCE is the key! How does a toddler learn to walk? He does it by attempting one step at a time - he never quits until he gets it right. Jesus Christ did say that anyone who wishes to enter His the Kingdom of Heaven needs to become like a child in their thinking. What is that which is right according to the New Covenant? The commandments of Jesus Christ. And what did Jesus Christ say we ought to do in order to do the will of God? He said to obey. One first needs to learn what Jesus Christ commands, of course. Then one needs to make the step to obey at one moment, and then the next moment, and so on. Obedience starts with taking one obedient step at a time - obeying one command, then another, and then another, and before you know it, God Himself will step in and begin to do it for you. According to Jesus Christ, when we abide in Him(obey Him), then He will abide in us. |

Arkmanbuddy:Well, yes, prayer is a part of HIs commandment we are to obey. But the key to God's blessings and wisdom is not prayer, but obedience. |

Bro. You are not the only one struggling. It's a gradual process. Keep praying and study the Word of God (Bible). Run away from every occasion of sin ie desist from anything that make u to sin. By God's grace, it shall be well |

exynos: The first thing to know is that others have passed through that stage before and eventually overcame, read the book of Romans chapter 7. What you need is a sanctification experience. When you experience sanctification, the root of sin which is your old nature that is responsible for you doing what you don't want to do is dealt with by God and it wont have power over you to make you do those things anymore. Sanctification is setting you free from the power of sin and to be set free comes by knowing the truth. John 17:17, John 8:32. Study your bible, meditate upon it(focus your thoughts on God's word and memorise the scriptures) then it will begin to open your understanding and that understanding will let you experience the freedom God gives you in your inside to be set free 1 Like |
