How to win over your flesh when tempetd

Everyone of us is not exempted to be tempted.I think this is the nature of a  human being.We desire to do something specially something wrong or unwise.Temptation is not actually a sin but a test for every person to exercise their personality,character and their faith.There are many kinds of temptation you may encounter or you have already been through.It's ridiculous when the more you want to stay away from temptation the more it will come closer to you and when you were tempted you cannot run away from that guilt feeling anymore and this will make you hate yourself even more.Why I choose this topic because I've been through that for how many times and I was able to overcome this weakness and now I want to share to everybody to help them on how to overcome from being tempted.
I have some advice here and hopefully this may help you too.

  1. Know your weakness and Stay away from the things/situation which leads you to be tempted.for example if  your weakness is your flesh,I advice you to make yourself busy so you will not have that time to think about your flesh desire.you can focus yourself to your job,hangouts with friends and family.Do not let yourself alone and left nothing to do because doing nothing might leads you to think dirty things.Exercise.the best way to avoid temptation is to staying fit and working out can benefit mental health,relationships,and lead to healthier happier life overall.
  2. Be prayerful. Personally I believe that prayers can change everything.Once tempted,Pray..pray  and pray to give you the strength to overcome your weakness.Pray to clean your thought and heart.Pray to give you a wisdom.And pray to change you to be a better person.If you pray sincerely and with faith I told you it will surely granted.
  3. Involve yourself in some religious activities.It is helpful if you are not only an ordinary attendees to your local church but an active member of your church.Join some activities like bible study groups,prayer meeting and commit yourself to the ministry you are good at and it helps you grow spiritually.
  4. Have someone to talk to.Share your thoughts,your weakness.Seek an advice from a trusted person who is capable enough to guide you and can leads you to the right path.
  5. Stay Firm.Temptation is more on emotionally and spiritually battle.You are fighting with your own flesh,mind and soul.but remember that YOU are the only one who can help yourself more than anyone else.If you really wanted to win this battle,then you must have a firm commitment.Bear in mind the consequences for every actions you will do and the guilt feelings that you may feel.You have to think positive.Forgive yourself and don't feel sorry anymore.Once you overcome the temptation I'm telling you,the satisfaction you will feel is really really  priceless! Remember :An over comer  is always a winner!
God bless everyone.
