Replace Can't with the word CAN! God uses the word Can and loves the word CAN! He tells us throughout the bible that WE CAN! Start your day with GOD, and end your day with GOD. If we could pray/talk to God all day from the time we rise until the time
we go to sleep - we would NOT be able to sin. Constant prayer would not allow our body or mind to sin. Since most of us don't have the ability to spend the entire day in prayer as we are required to perform all the functions of living, working, eating, etc.
Work toward keeping your mind in God/Christ all day, whenever you can. When driving to work, pray, if you turn the radio on listen to spiritual songs, hymns. Share God with everyone you talk to. Spend time helping others. While you eat your meals pray and talk to God. When you are with your family talk about your goal to stop all sin. Help and encourage each other to stop sinning and encourage them to not use the word Can't. Fill your day with the word Can in all you do. Keep God 1st and foremost in everything you do everyday.
I have a lot of other ideas and suggestions for you and others here to break the stranglehold of Sin, and I will continue to present these methods in future posts.
To summarize: Replace the word Can't with Can! Fill your day with God!
Remember this: Write it down and post it somewhere that you will see it everyday: We all start out life as sinners - that doesn't mean we have to finish this life as sinners.
Amen Bro. Dan. The gospel is an empowering message! St. John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Eph. 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 2 Cor. 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: Roman 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. God Bless!
Whatever I have shared with you is what I have put to work in my own life, and all good things come from God, so all glory to God for his mercy and teachings.
Like all of us, I have been a sinner all my life and continue to sin. Thanks to God I am learning to conquer sin. I will give you one example of sin that I believe God helped me to see, and then break free from sin. Over the previous years, I have come to learn and God's Spirit has convicted me that sports is sinful for me, and I'm to avoid all sports now.
As a kid I grew up playing sports, as many children today do. I was a very talented baseball player and participated at a higher level than many of my peers. As I became older sports continued to be a big part of my life. I watched on TV, went to the events, and did bet/wager on the events. Baseball, football, basketball, horse racing, dog racing etc. etc. A good portion of my days/weeks, years were spent involved in this. Family, friends, and acquaintances aided my continued involvement. As time went on, I matured and became a Christian, and over time (years) I began to slowly feel uncomfortable with sports, because many of the players became bad role models, money became an overriding factor, and I could see myself, friends and family spending more time on this, and away from God. Sports became a sinful event to me, as I watched worsening bad behavior, swearing, sex/adultery, bad sportsmanship, and numerous sinful activities surrounding these events, including alcohol, drugs, gambling etc. etc.
I believe God intervened on my behalf, His Holy Spirit convicted me. To this day, I DO NOT even talk about sports with others, unless it is to inform them why I don't participate. I no longer watch, listen, or participate in any way. I thank God everyday that He has opened my eyes.
1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
I went through something similar with soccer. Fans in Europe are not quite like in the US, they are often hooligans. Swearing (of the worst kind) is the least one sees in soccer, not mention the fights. When my kid was about 12-13, he was really good in soccer. One time we were travelling with the team's bus to another city for a match to play. During the trip the young players started signing songs about their opponents that even mature people would have been ashamed. So I decided that was the last time my kid was going with them in the bus. Soon my son got wounded during a game and then quited the sport. Today I may see a game, usually World Cups, and that's all. Yes we have to leave behind what may have caused us pleasure but it is not according to God's Will, you never know where that is going to lead you. Blessings.

this is a perfect example of the operation of Grace appearance in one's heart, Picking up the Cross, denying self & teaching you godliness.
