Lately I have become very close with Jesus and he has blessed me everyday and it is amazing. However sometimes, when I am tempted I keep hitting ''the point of no return'' then commit a sin and don't care. After about an hour I do care... but then I sin again. Is there any advice for my bad attitude and lack of willpower? Or should I just buck up and start just saying ''no.'' to the temptation.
 
I understand where you're coming from. I've been there hundreds of times. And the more it happens the more I needed the Scriptures to help my attitude towards the whole situation. Because of your post, I see that your spirit is striving for truth, and encouragement which is a good sign that you're seeking after God. Seeking God is THE single most interesting thing you can seek after (He's the only thing that's beyond a thing!). This is because it is the most difficult and rewarding thing you can do, but what's more than that is, and here's the key, glorifying God is not so much about you or your attitude as it is about God Himself. Think about this. Glorifying God is the soul end of man, the purpose for all human life and all creation loved by our Father and King, Lord Yahweh.

Pray to God, seek Him. The Bible says God is pleased with us if we believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). You already have those two things covered I'm sure. And to leave you with a push of encouragement: read Hebrews 12:1-14
 
bear with me brother, many of us (should be all of us) are having hard times. I have heard people about our age talk about stuff like this (but it happens to everyone else too) and even me, I do wrong and the temptation thinks it got me, but I got faith somewhere in Christ I believe and I am saved by grace, why then should I sin, I do it to where we just get mad and convicted. Actaully brother to feel conviction and pain shows that God is inside of you, because what breaks or hurts Him effect us. Note again means the Holy Ghost is with you.

Bear with me and the other Christian, just bear the world is what I am saying, just try cause you automatically fail without trying. So God knows our hearts bro, just please we all have problems, but don't let it get between you and Jesus. It may seem like it, but everyday God is somewhere and somehow clearing the wicked out of our soul and sinfulness in our Spirit.

Love you bro, keep it up for Christ not me
 
The bible says in Romans 8: 2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
Bro, yeah we do go through times like that, to me the reason that happens is so that we can learn to claim our inheritence of freedom and use the authority we have been given to cast away sin. The bible says in James 4: 7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you."
we resist the devil by confessing with our mouths, speaking of testimonies, reading the Word of God and praying. Hope this helps, God bless
 
well my advise for you is to just keep a positive attitude about jesus no matter what people say i go through the same things everyday i commit a sin and then dont care untill i just relized it it mainly happens to me on sunday because it just hits me right then i know the feeling
 
Bible study helps. Whenever you your tempted just take up the bible turn to a random page and read. It's almost miraculous- you find exactly what you need to resist the temptation of the devil like almost evrytime.

Most people battle with this. It's a mixture of our sin nature, Satan, and our culture. It's a real battle...there really is a spiritual war going on and the more aware you are of it, the better you can deal with it. Learn about how Satan can defeat you...know the enemy!

Read the Bible regularly (even when you don't feel like it), pray often, and find a church that you like. You need to interact with other Christians-they're your support team.

Joyce Meyers has a good book called "Battlefield of the Mind for Teens". It's very good.

Just like we have physical muscles that we need to exercise to keep healthy, we also have a spiritual muscle that has to be exercised to be fit. Though salvation is a gift, we still have put forth a good bit of effort ourselves :)

you cant do jack for yourself...you will sin, you cant get away from it, the best you can do is read the bible and pray ...read Proverbs, best book of the bible when it comes to avoid temptations
 
I think finding out specifically what situation causes your issue would be good, if you can locate that and try to avoid it until you get going the right way by the power of God you should see victory.
 
Well we are all sinners no matter how hard you try to stop it..we are still going to sin a lot more than we should. When you are faced with temptations though put the bible at the center of your decision. Ask yourself if the choice you are going to make goes against God's word or not. God bless~
 
Yeah, there is its called The Holy Spirit, which helps you deal with problems like this much better. The reason we do this is because of our Flesh. It wants nothing more than to do its own thing, and give into the things it wants, more than what it needs. My advice is to take the things out of your life that you know is causing you to do that doing your best to avoid it. Like if its drugs, or something like that stay away from the people that are doing it with you/ for some porn, stay away from staying up late, or magazines or certain sites. Thats as best as I know. I've talked with other ppl about this very thing. It also depends on what it is, and how about going to use strategies to keep yourself away from stuff like this. The main answer is to : Stay in God's word more, and constantly in his presence.
