    Spiritual Teaching

    (continuef part)👆👇 4. Living with an active conscience, praying To lead a person to sin, Satan does not initially concern himself with major sins. For example, if Satan wants to make someone commit adultery, he does not force the person to commit adultery directly, but first weakens his spiritual life by making him lazy so that he stops praying for example. Then he slowly leads him to the biggest sin of adultery. In general, what he does before anything else is to separate the conscience from being one with its Lord, so that it does not notice what Saitan is doing. So we must pray, seek the Father of the soul, and read the scriptures. (1st Cor 7:34) there is nothing that Satan loves more than hindering prayer, because prayer is an arrow that pierces his eyes. Therefore, we should always live in prayer and with an active conscience. 5. Eating less Eating too much is one of the main causes of adultery. The more food we eat, the more temptations we have. Just like when we add more wood or gas to a fire, it will raise high, increasing the amount of food will also increases the sensuality; but when we eat less, our flesh will be less powerful and out spirit more powerful. 6. Repentance Among the ways of salvation that Satan fights for, there is none greater than repentance. This is because repentance destroys all the edifices of sin that the enemy, the devil, has built to destroy the lives of Christians, making it not exist by the grace of God. There is no sin that repentance does not wash away. Therefore, the devil fights in various ways too drive us away from repentance. Therefore, we need to be alert and repent today without taking any more time. 7. Not giving up Even if we fail at one time, we must keep going until the end, even if we fall we must get up and never give up. It should be expected that the fight will be difficult, it will be exhausting, the devil doesn't want us free so when he knows we are struggling, he will fight back stronger. As St. Paul said, "Your battle is not against fleshly creatures, but against subtle spirits." God has given us the tools which enables us win, the choice is at our hand but needs commitment without giving up. 8. Getting enough understanding about marriage Another reason that makes us vulnerable to adultery is our lack of understanding about marriage. We are going to send you some of the teachings and advice written about marriage in order to help the believers in general to walk properly according to God's - learning about the spirituality of marriage and what our married life should look like is a must for every Christian. May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always. May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us. Amen. ©John's Repentance Follow our Telegram group every day and share it with your friends https://t.me/+DCbv9KRTroY0NmJh
