Hi all,
I've mostly posted on the alcoholism forum, but I just put a welcome message about me and my "recovery program" in my profile :-)
Gertiegirl got so much advice in her post, I thought I'd just open a new thread on an issue she raised about "super sin".
Has anyone read Biblical Foundations of Freedom by Art Mathias? He's from
Wellspring Ministries - Anchorage, Alaska
I too have struggled for years with some repeated besetting sins. Somehow focusing on resisting those sins never worked. And I mean like
FOCUSING in capital letters....fasting, praying, rebuking satan, memorizing specific related verses, having accountability partners....you name it I tried it.
Along comes Foundations of freedom and points the finger at unresolved issues of anger, bitterness, fear, unforgiveness etc in my heart. Now, as I am learning to deal with these hidden sins in my heart, the other outward "supersins" (we can each fill in the blank) are coming under control. It's amazing. The book is worth it's weight in gold to me!!!
God bless you all!
