Making a strong start.

As I mentioned in a previous post (Why we continually give in), when the addict attempts to make a change in his life he rarely succeeds because he has already lost the battle in his mind.  All his attempts at overcoming lust are thwarted because he has created an environment that enables sin.  No amount of willpower will be enough to create real freedom. 

But how do we escape?  How do we become free?
In order to mount a serious fight against lust we must do these things:

1. Understand sin and our hearts. (Looking in the mirror)
2. Confess. (Godly Confession)
3. Repent. (Genuine Repentance)
4. Be committed.
5. Trust God's Promises (God's Promises)
6. Clean house. (Clean house)
7. Detox. (detox)
8. Find support. (You need support)
