“Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it.
When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13
Refocus your attention on something else
Ignore it, if you think about it more, example: food, then you’ll just crave it anymore which isn’t what you want! Find something else to think about, keep our minds with good thoughts and God’s word.
Reveal your struggle to a godly friend or support group
Yeh… something I need to start doing more maybe? I do talk about some of my problems and it definitely help… thanks Ronnie mainly and others tooJ
Resist theDevil
Use God’s word as a weapon, must memorize verses! Bible study starting on Monday, hopefully I can memorize at least a verse a week?
Realize your vulnerability
“Don’t be so naïve amend self confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as someone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence
1 Corinthians 10:12
“God is faithful. He will keep temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.”
Ronnie and Albert you two have been pretty ….supportive? Yeah… I’ll be looking to you guys to help me defeat temptations. (Suckers!!)

Oh andrew
u are one funny man. <3
any hooo, yeah, this chapter is really so importantly relatingly relative to me (if that made any sense). Yes, i feel that God is talking to me through this chapter and i was so .... WHOA!....and so far, this chapter has had the biggest impact. Because u can use it in daily life, everywhere and it helps us to be more like Christ. AND, it reinforces the awesomeness of Jesus' death on the cross. ALL sins were forgiven , but we keep falling in Satan's trap! but once we received salvation, uno, its done for u. The wage of sin had been paid and thats so cool! Anyhho, yeah, i confessed some of my deepest and darkest, most secret sins to my church online today, STRAGIHT after i read the chapter. They'll help me and pray for me and ill pray for them and yeah! But i was SO scared that if i confessed this particular sin, then they will judge me and despise me. But they're my brother and sisters, and so are u. Ur my brother! Cool! But, yeah, ur probably thinking: "Why hasn't far-albert told me about it?". Well, i was extremely ashamed, and still am. But alot more relieved that i have revealed it and i know God will help me in paths of trouble and temptation. Am i gonna tell u? I should.....but ur also my frend and im still very weak and stupid and naive, and im very very afraid to tell u and anyone at skool. Im so sorry!PRAY FOR ME. Of course i pray for u, all the time! :)
anyhooz, yeah, i was touched that u would look to me and Ronnie to help u . And im more than happy to help u . But u see, there's irony and hypocrosy in wot im writing this instant. I'm saying that i want to help u, but im not helping myself by revealing (to u) a stupid sin that i keep falling into. Which makes me a hypocrite. SO, yes, i'll tell u. but via email. so PLEEZE keep it private. and pleeze do not despise me becoz of it. im still very very scared. And i feel so stupid and foolish, but at the same time, i know i shouldn't be feeling stupid. This is the only way to defeat that bleedin' sin! I HATE SIN! (well, im sure every1 else does). Anyhoo, i keep saying anyhoo.
anyhoo.........lol.....
anyhoo, u sound like ur depressed? WOTS wrong, brother? just keep in mind, worldy things are not the answer. GOD is ! no matter wot situation it is . okay? good. talk to me.

new nick name. :)
wot a long commment! anyhoo (Lol), im waiting for u to be online
GET ONLINE......pleez

hey anytime
i know you and everyone else would do the same - by being accountable
don't feel ashamed to confess about temptation
that's what we're there for
giving into temptation causes spiritual dejection
so yeah if you do - request a prayer or something from God, and us
as long as you acknowledge and confess with a repentant and humble heart - and i might as well say servant heart too
humble as in (humiliated, shameful for what you've done kinda thingy)
without a repentant heart then it means nothing when you ask God to forgive you
-ronnie
btw in response to you and albert
