Tip: Put a rubber band on your wrist. Every time you have a tempting thought, snap it and praise the Lord.
If you are tempted to fall, never say, “This is the last time.” Instead say, “I am rebelling, and there will be a lot of destruction because of it.” Satan wants you to lie about what is going on. Be honest. Consider trying to make this a habit.
2 Every time you have a tempting thought, snap it and pray: “Father, fill me with Your love.”
3 With every bad thought think: “I believe that pure thoughts will lead to a great life.”
4 Romans 8:6 ESV For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” Every time you try to make a habit of thinking clean thoughts you are obeying this verse.
5 The Bible says “Take up your cross daily.” What is your system for taking up your cross to fight _____ daily? How do u remind yourself “daily” about the things you want to change? Some set up a system in their phone, or use sticky notes, or a cork board with 3 by 5 cards pinned to it (so u can change your cards over time). To take up your cross, work often on a system of how to remind yourself of how to change.
6 When the angel told Lot to leave Sodom, he gave instructions that no one should look back. Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt. Why did this happen? She left her sinful past and city only because she did not want to die. The city still obsessed her thoughts. Consider praying:“Father, help me to have a reply for every bad thought every time.
”Finally, new habits are a key. Consider going to great extremes to form new habits.
