Overcoming Sexual Sins: Getting Ready
Overcoming Sexual Sins: Get Ready Many of us are thoroughly convinced that we can't even reach the first mile stretch. But God's power and love is sufficient for all those who really want to live pure and wholesome lives.


In this 'Get Ready!' section, we want to help you get ready for the big race. We are not thinking of just some advice to get you started on this marathon, but the truths of God to sustain and motivate you until the end of your life as a victor.

A coach's main responsibility is
to discover the person's weaknesses and guide them through corrective procedures to train them to do their best.


Gaining an accurate picture of our lives is crucial to success. We need to be honest with what we do and do not have; honest with what we have done and hope to do. Another person's analysis and help is very helpful. Here are the four steps to getting you ready for this crucial race.
Although we will make suggestions for overcoming your difficult situations, you need more help. You need God to coach you. God, the Holy Spirit is ever so able to help His people in this process! That is much more than any man could do. If you are not yet a Christian, we strongly encourage you find more about gaining a new life!

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes,
He will guide you into all the truth;
for He will not speak on His own initiative,
but whatever He hears, He will speak;
and He will disclose to you what is to come.
“He shall glorify Me;
for He shall take of Mine,
and shall disclose it to you."
John 16:13,14, NASB.
Please note there will sometimes be prayers suggested at the bottom. We encourage you to read those prayers aloud as your own prayers to God. Feel free to modify them to fit your own situation. Remember honesty is what counts before God. Let's start now
