A call to repentance: What has helped me to remain pure.

Listen! I post to this blog to give hope and to inspire. My prayer is that you will see me as a servant of the most high God. I was thinking even deeper on how I was able to stay in this place of abstinence. Today, I want to just share somethings that have helped me to remain pure: 1. I repent! I repent often... why? because sin is a slippery slope, and in order to not be entangled I bring any ounce of sin... those known, and unknown to Jesus. I make it a point to forgive those whom I may have an alt against. Not only that, but I pray blessings over them. 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Revelation 2:5 - Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 2. I lay hands on myself. I do this often, and I try my best to remain as humble as possible never esteeming myself any higher than what I am. I know that spirits and demons are real. So when I feel myself slipping I know it has to be something causing it. I may even watch someone else on periscope whos more knowledgeable than I am, and allow them to pray over me, and cast out any unknown spirits. Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 3. I pray, fast, and decree things over my life. Remembering His promises is important. There are seasons of our lives where our faith may be tested. The only thing that will get you through those tests is remembering the word of God. and what He promised us. This will build up our faith so that when we are tested we'll pass. Not only that, but we'll be strong enough to fight the devil. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful I pray that this blessed you as much as it blessed me. I was reminded of all the times that God has kept me, and it was only by His grace. I love you all! be blessed. Taira :)
