JESUS DIED FOR OUR RELAPSE

DAY 1.The Spirit of God has spoken to me after relapsing.
1.John 5:5-9 A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been sick for such a long time; so he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”The sick man answered, “Sir, I don't have anyone here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man got well; he picked up his mat and started walking.
LESSONS:
(i) God is aware of how many years we have struggled with PMO.
(ii) Christ is tenderly inquisitive concerning our desires because we are in affliction, and is willing to know what our petition is: "What shall I do for you?"
(iii) If we were willing to be made whole, the work were half done, for Christ is willing to heal, if we be but willing to be healed, Matthew 8:3.
(iv) The poor man does not think of any other way of being cured than by these waters, therefore, when Christ cured him, his imagination or expectation could not contribute to it, for he thought of no such thing.Christ will lead us by roads we have never travelled before and turn addiction into freedom.
(v) Having been so often disappointed, the poor man begins to despair, and now is Christ's time to come to his relief. He delights to help in desperate cases.We are desperate that is why we are on nofap.
(v) If that man had not attempted to help himself by rising to walk, he would not have been cured, and he must have borne the blame yet it does not therefore follow that, when he did rise and walk, it was by his own strength no, it was by the power of Christ, and he must have all the glory.

To show that Christ Jesus is here today to Heal, here's a similar illustration :

2.John 9:6-7 Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the blind man's eyes and told him, “Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.” So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing.
LESSONS
(i) He could have cured him with a word, as he did in the above story, but he chose to do it in this way to show that he is not tied to any method.
(ii) Normally, mud should be the last thing put on blind eyes. However, The power of God often works by contraries and he makes men feel their own blindness before he gives them sight.We have lamentably relapsed on several occasions without the Power of Christ and His Spirit in us.It is now time to be healed.
(iii) Though the effect is owing purely to His power and grace, there is duty to be done by us. Go, search the scriptures, attend upon the ministry, converse with the wise. This is like washing in the pool of Siloam . Ephesians 5:1-19 demonstrates clearly how we ought to use our time.

CONCLUSION
We have depended on ourselves for too long. It is now time to look up to Jesus by asking Him today and let Him do what He is best at, that is,healing and saving as we adjust our lifestyles to Ephesians 5:1-19
