36 Bible Verses To Help You Conquer Lust And Pornography
We are here on Earth to show that we value/deserve the eternal Life that is awaiting us and to prove that we shall not allow anything to come between us and our Great CREATOR. The worst vice preventing most of the youths of this generation from living victorious holy life is the sin of lust/immorality. Many indeed want to live their lives to please the great Creator but this weakness in the flesh has smashed them to the floor too severally whenever they try to stand in the Spirit of Holiness. I have a good news for you, it is still very much possible but the devil doesn't want you to know or believe this. The greatest mistake anyone could make is to give up on striving for Holiness and to permanently surrender to weakness, sin or satan. We all relentlessly and endlessly strive to improve financially, educationally, mentally and materially. Why do some get easily deceived to senselessly give up on improving morally/spiritually? If you can believe just a little, you are 90% victorious. All you need to do is to be sincere enough and put in the little effort of daily reading and meditating on the likes of Scriptures below. Start today, and you'll be amazed at how Holy Spirit would reward your sincerity with unprecedented spiritual strength and power.
