"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices." ~ 2 Corinthians 2:11
What CAN I do to stay pure?!
* Submit to your Father and Mother
* Don't allow close ties with unbelievers
* Guard your affections
* Chose friends carefully
* Guard the entrance to your heart
* Guard your eyes
* Guard your ears
* Guard the poral of your mind - your thoughts.
* Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit
* Be a formidable foe to Satan and see the Glory of God work through you!
But I've already been defiled! Now what?
* Be penitent for what you have done. (and if it isn't your fault, think of what might have been)
* Confess to God in prayer, asking for forgivness and saying you're sorry. (If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9)
* Refuse to do sin again and move forward. (Sin is something you KNOW is wrong, but you do it anyway.) ~ (Submit yourself to God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7)
* Give your life to God with a contrite, willing heart. He can run it better than you can!
* Enjoy the rich blessings He will bestow upon you for giving yourself to Him. |
