Struggling with sin & feel defeated 😔

Q: 
I am struggling with sin and could use some advice.  When you sin throughout the day with whatever it may be,  Lust, pride etc, there are sins I commit every day.  I feel so guilty and beat myself up mentally.  I am trying to stop but it's not that easy.  How does one move past these sins in the way God wants us too.  Does he want me to feel guilty and disappointed in myself?



A:
We grow in righteousness day by day as believers who pick up their cross and follow Him. We kill, conquer and have Victory over sins so we become more holy and become more like Christ. 

When we read and study Scripture, and gain deeper understandings at Sunday School, Church Bible study offerings, and by our pastor sermons, it helps us grow in sanctification and maturity in the faith. 

We know God has forgiven all our sins in Jesus, by His work (in his perfect life, being our propitiation on the cross, dying in our place, and raising from the dead, [showing God accepted Hos work to redeem and restore believers to a right relationship with God]). God has thrown our sins as far as the east from the west, he remembers them no more, and Rom 8 tells us we are not condemned but have been freed from the judgment the law of sin and death demands. Death even has no sting for us. However it is not a liscence to sin. Redeemed born again people love righteousness, living holy, and hate sin. Our sin stained flesh may try to lead us to sin and Satan may try to tempt and lure us to sin, but if we kill those sins, there is no attraction to them for us and Satan and demons will flee us. Believers posess the Fruit of the Spirit and indwelling Holy Spirit at salvation. We grow stronger in these holy characteristics as we wear the Armor of God and intentionally live out the righteous nature; following Christ's example. 

These will be a good help for you as you go through them, to help you kill those sins and grow in sanctification. 😊

The Resources found here will be a great help to you. 

There is a also self counseling link there to help you with specific sins, as well as advice on dealing with past regrests.

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me? Should I stop praying, because I knew better but I didn’t do better. I said yes to my flesh and now it’s costing me. I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way. Prayer is to align you to God's will, (not for him to act as a genie who does what you want). You becoming pregnant wasn't a punishment from God; it was basic natural outcomes of happens when humans have sex. You know Scripture teaches sex was designed only ...
