Confused and a touch frustrated

[BlssdInTheCity]

Hi!

I am going to try and condense this as much as possible. I have several things wrong with me -a lot of areas in my life I am trying to make better. God speaks to me in several ways but the most frequent way he does is through my pastor. Well, one Sunday I was pretty tired and frustated from constantly failing in the areas of my life that I was trying to overcome. And so he was preaching on 'Change' and said this (this is in my own words) -I know you're tired of going around the same circle. You keep failing and summed up he said that it was because in order for me to change God must initiate it. He said it has to be one area at a time. So this was about two months ago ..Last week a very well-known preacher on tv said the exact same thing. It had be one area at a time. Ok so I know exactly what God is calling for me to change right now. But my question is -WHat am I suppose to do with the rest of my sin. I cant put it on the back burner until Im ready todeal with it, otherwise I could just get rid of it with no problem. He couldn't possibly want me to just accept it and live in it. But every time I try and fix it I do excatly what my pastor says and end up right back where I was. And Im soooooo tired. I want it gone. Anyhow -Thanks for any input on this matter, Blessed

Dear Sister, Greetings to you....in Jesus.

Jesus said "Ask....and it will be given to you" He said "Seek and you will find" Jesus said "Knock and it will be opened"

Forgive me for not looking up the scripture. But I feel you will know it is the truth.

God-Bless your pastor....and the t.v. evangelist. But it may be the time for you to "Ask......to Seek.....to Knock" at the feet of the Master. These are His words.....none are greater.

Look to Jesus......and pray.

Hi there BlssdInTheCity, I moved your thread to the Counseling forum, I think it's more fitting here.

God bless

BlssdInTheCity, I agree with Stephen, I think it is time for you to hear from God directly concerning your life.

Stop trying to clean yourself up and just walk with Jesus. I promise you will find the journey much more rewarding and refreshing.

BlssdInTheCity, Find some time to spend alone with Father and persistantly seek Him. He desires you to enter a new level of intimacy with Him. Don't put it off, He is waiting on you.
