    Admit Your Problem

    James 1:14
    But each one is tempted when he is drawn away
    by his own desires and enticed. (NKJV)

    What you like to do, you do.


    Admit the fact, and start to look for the solution,
    rather than search for excuses for succumbing to
    temptation.

    Put Your Past Behind You

    Philippians 3:13
    forgetting those things which are behind and
    reaching forward to those things which are
    ahead. (NKJV)

    Once a failure, always a failure? NOT SO!


    Perseverance and determination to succeed will
    lead to success

    Talk Back To Your Feelings

    Titus 2:11,12
    For the grace of God that brings salvation has
    appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying
    ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
    soberly, righteously, and godly in the present
    age. (NKJV)

    Dont let your moods/feelings manipulate you!


    Be the master, not the slave, and God will help
    you achieve this

    Believe You Can Change

    Philippians 4:13
    I can do all things through him who strengthens
    me. (NKJV)

    You can do EVERYTHING in Christ!


    Temptation is never too great that you cannot bear
    (1 Cor 10:13). You can overcome it if you set
    your mind to go about doing it

    Make Yourself Accountable

    Ecclesiastes 4:12
    Though one may be overpowered by another,
    two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is
    not quickly broken. (NKJV)

    Sharing your troubles with a brother who can


    support and encourage you constantly will be a
    great help
    Let your brothers/sisters be the pillars of support
    around you

    Avoid Temptation

    1 Corinthians 15:33
    Do not be deceived. Evil company corrupts god
    habits. (NKJV)

    Dont give the devil a chance to tempt you!


    Avoid people and situations that will tempt you to
    lose control and sin
    Fill your environment with good habits and filter
    out bad company choose your friends wisely!

    Depend On Christs Power

    Galatians 5:16
    I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not
    fulfill the lust of the flesh. (NKJV)

    Walk in the Spirit FIRST, and you will avoid the


    lust of the flesh listed in Gal 5:19-21. Its not the
    other way around!
    Let the power of God assist you in your battle
    against sin and to develop your self-control
