i have battled certain sins and fallen and gotten up to battle again then fallen and on and on the cycle has gone for a few years now. the problem was the desire inside me was to do this when i was tempted. so if i was not actively battling and was just coasting i would fall soon after. but i don't think we are made to be on high alert and fighting against ourselves all the time. but we also aren't meant to sin against our maker, its a real catch 22. saturday i was in the shower, crying and praying over this same issue when all of a sudden i saw in my spirit this weirdo black manimal thing standing on all 4s where the wall hit the ceiling like freakin spiderman. i wasn't sure what it was but i just said get out of here and it was gone. then i started to feel differently, my self control has been at an all time high and its been so easy not do what i know i shouldn't do. tonight i just finished a 2 day fast, water only. I've never been able to do that! when I've tried to fast I've either given in on day 1 or day 2 or fasted from something like meat or sugar. but this time there was not that unbearable draw to eat. i felt the hunger in my stomach but it was like nothing compared to normal. i usually have trouble making it 6 hours before i lose my mind and can barely function normally. this has been the most amazing few days!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!

that is really awesome bro & peeps need to hear it shouted from the rooftops! YAY for testify'in!!!!!
i just wanna share a bit like i do w/ convo's on the mystiktruth blog....cuz i had just been mentoring a person and they said: "thanks for your help, but i just can't get unstuck...if i get out of this mess, it's gonna be God that does it...."
and so i replied:
"you'll get 'unstuck'... if you persevere.
i started in 2008 and even last yr the Lord gave me a dream that showed i had a spirit of death and dying on me. i told hubby & asked him to help and he prayed and saw nothing.... then i said, how about you do just what i saw in the dream? when he did, there it was.
conforming to christ Jesus is a process, not burger king, LOL.
and the attacks come when the enemy is scared.... we're only worth shaking a stick at when we're getting somewheres (darkest b4 dawn).
so keep going & know that simple prayer....studying the bible...asking the Father questions and tuning in to His answers is the way to get there. people can make it soooooo hard, but it need not be. just b content to take baby steps, cling to the promises and know who He says you are and settle for nothing less.
God will def. do His part but you gotta participate even if the devil is spitting in yer face....that's when u cry 'hallelujah, i'm becoming something the Father can use!'"
I then got this reply:
"Thank you for that last a comment... That really helps... sometimes when people just level with ya it makes things more clear... I didn't realize I had the right now right away attitude but now I realize i do... I will continue and listen more... thank
you.."
