In fact, Steve Wood has shared that for a person who is addicted to pornography, to be set free, they MUST exercise their will and replace the pornographic thoughts with Scripture quotes every time the pornographic thoughts come up. It takes repetition over and over to learn this new habit.<br />So, with the power of the HOly Spirit, as I cannot do it myself, I had to exercise my will many times to retrain my thoughts from negative thoughts that would creep up about my self-worth, into Scripture quotes.<br />In the beginning, when I did not have a relationship with Jesus, I had to use secular coined phrases to re-orient my brain thoughts, but it worked and helped me to see a relationship with Jesus in a whole new light. Praise God for these tools!Mary https://www.blogger.com/profile/09380699086168586041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875920670450195616.post-59392963243534984152013-03-19T11:53:50.624-04:002013-03-19T11:53:50.624-04:00Hello Beautiful!

Thoughts come and go...like feelings. I never tied it to that verse before but that is a great one! I will have to remember Romans 12:2 in tough times.

When I change my thoughts, ( which I never thought I could do until I was taught it, and even then I fought that idea for 6 months thinking it would not work), but when I made the effort to change my thoughts, my feelings adjusted. This coping tool has helped me stabilize thru all kinds of emotions that often changed rapidly. I thank God for this coping tool every day, and for the coined phrases that I learned that helped me to put this tool into practice.Mary https://www.blogger.com/profile/09380699086168586041noreply@blogger.com
