As mentioned in Dominic’s post I have had a few issues in the last week or so. P&M were involved. Trying to move forward again. Watched a YouTube sermon on the battle of the two natures inside a Christian. Was so basic and simple. If you don’t feed the new nature God gives you a salvation the old one will step up every time. Always a choice. Will I walk in the power of God today or let the old man have his way. And of course that preacher stressed you have to consistently feed that new nature through God’s Word!!
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:14-25 - NKJV

God still loves you and all of us. Keep close to Jesus. I'm always weak too.

Well my wife caught me looking suspicious last night as I was watching porn. Lied about it at first. But fessed up this morning. Not a good morning. Back at square one. She is pretty much done with this. Not with us but me. This. Please pray for us.

Bro, seriously, get the 'Sexual Healing' book. It's hard reading for those of us with this problem, but 'faithful are the wounds of a friend'.

Well I wanted to talk to my wife about this and she just moved away. Nice but no dice. Tried again today and she said she in so many words I left the marriage not her. Ouch. Chastisement hurts. She won't let me touch her. I pray I can take this like a man. Pray I don't crack and do something stupid. And thanks Will!

Yes brother, praying. Oh Lord, please help our brother JavaJake to be lovingly patient with his wife. Please help her to forgive him in whatever he has does and work in their hearts. Please help Javajake to show to You and her that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Lord, please help us men to be patient with our wives, even they they are hurting from our sin, or when they are physically/mentally/emotional not able to be intimate. Please help Javajake and help me and us guys here. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Lots of times my wife is not wanting me so I have to pray,cry, listen to worship music, read the Word, get our of the moment or place to change my mind and mental state. When my physical body is aroused and she is not there so I can "drink water from my own cistern" then it's only the Lord who can help/heal me. I have to remember this, because I always forget it when it's go time.

Thanks Dominic. I know you have been going through this also for some time. I brought this on through my sin. We talked a little more after I posted in bed. Still a long way off but maybe a little closer. The trust has been broken to many times by me so naturally the wall gets higher. Praying for you you also brother and the others struggling here too.
And thanks Will!
