    Bro. you're describing the exact thing Paul was describing. There's this battle taking place between the flesh and the Spirit. We all are in this spiritual battle. The truth is that our faith, hope, and trust is in Jesus Christ. We cannot save ourselves. The good works that we do is out of love and the work of the Holy Spirit inside of us. Willpower will fail us because willpower is depending on our own strength, the flesh. So we have to do our part: worship God, spend time in the Word, serve. This will feed our spirit and make us stronger. Then God through His Holy Spirit will remove our desire to sin and give us passion to obey His commandments. But it's a life long process, sanctification, and being made into the image of Jesus. We won't be completely perfected as long as we are in our earthly, sinful bodies. Thanks, for your honesty and realness George. Your podcast really is inspiring. These conversations are so needed. Keep it going and don't grow weary in well doing.

I have known Jesus since a kid and I have had the pleasure of leading about 10 to christ but addiction and my sin sent me to hell in the dtes of vancouver. I feel like I am the worst christian.

      ​@@planes3333can you elaborate? Back in 2022 i made satanic enemies, my brother sold dope for these people and after he died they told me i was gonna sell dope for them. The first thing they told me was i had to renounce God, i wasnt willing because obvious reasons. Disclaimer i did not mention anything to do with God before they told me that. They literally started trying to tempt me, it was so weird. When i said no they got very threatning, told me i wasnt going to my brothers funeral, that i wasnt going back to work, back to my home state, that i wouldnt be able to leave my house. They told me i was going to go crazy if i didnt do this for them, that i was going to lose all my friends. I was pretty shaken up, these were supposed to be my friends and i could not believe what was happening, what was coming out their mouths. It was like all the friends i thought i knew had suddenly become possessed and im not unconvinced that thats not what happened. I was praying that night, i cried out to God because i knew i wasnt ready to stand before Him. One of them asked me straight up, after everything that happened, you still think you going to heaven?
      I told God if i lived after that night i would never mess with dope again. I literally felt God touch me, my ears started ringing so loud and for so long i couldnt help but look up and think thats God. In that moment i knew for sure what i was dealing with was supernatural, but that revelation gave me enough hope and strength to tell them to get out my house.
      They left, and i packed my bags and moved back to my home state where my brothers ashes were sent to. I went to the funeral, got my hands on a gun and took it with me because these same people were reaching out to my family on facebook and stuff like nothing had ever happened, talking about what good friends they were of my brother and i, they kept spamming my messenger and saying subversive things that i knew were threats disguised as normal conversation, things that i couldnt really prove so i was mostly alone through all of this, only a handful of close people who knew me believed me.
      I had literally no hope my brother was dead, my friends turned against me, i had a new revelation of heaven and hell and God, and i felt condemned because it was sin that got me to that point, i didnt know if i was going to live or die, i was so tempted to take matters into my own hands, but i knew if i did my life was over anyways. So heres what i did, i stopped worrying about it, i found a church, i got a bible, i started following God. I lost everything. My job, my truck, my home, my friends, but I gained God and i started following him and everything I lost he restored two fold. Found my wife in Christ, Lord blessed me with a wife and a son, and a house for my family, a spirit filled church, and to make the whole thing even crazier the man my brother sold dope for who had made my life hell for a breif time was dead only a few months after he was. Its been almost two years, and i should not be where im at. I had hit literally no hope when i came home, i had enemies, i had not much money, and i lost just about everything but the Word of God will never come back void, if you trust Him, if you lean on God, and turn from sin towards Jesus, God will be there.

    I was a drug addict for 6 yrs. Was on an ankle monitor facing 5 yrs in prison when Jesus Christ called on me. It's been a year and he's already healed so much of my childhood trauma and restored so many things that I ruined. I'm so grateful. I suffered with drug induced psychosis the whole year I was saved but he carried me through and right now I can say I'm free. I love you Yeshua. I owe you my life. No matter the suffering or trials I will overcome because he who lives in me is greater than he who lives in this world. Don't ever think you're too far gone. He is called our savior for a reason. We need as many men as possible right now to step up and fight the good fight. You aren't weak. You aren't what the enemy tells you you are. You are beautiful and you are capable of his love. Pray and repent of your sins. Lean on Christ. Those drugs, women and money will never satisfy your soul. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life.

      I am off fentanyl for 10 months and I survived eating 700 morphine pills and slitting my wrists. I should be dead but the huge slashes in my wrists would not bleed they coagulated and I was unable to die, praise Jesus. I am so ashamed of what I did to myself I was in psychoses thinking my enemies were going to torture me for hours so I got scared and tried to get home to Jesus. I dont know how I could be so stupid. I have just given up on lust and I am sober so I feel like I am doing my best to serve god, but man I am haunted by the past. My bible study says I am saved as I question my salvation all the time, (how could I sin so much and love Jesus) I am like a whitewashed tomb or a fake pharisee.

      I have been off fentanyl for about a year and I almost died many times in vancouver when i was on it.
      I am no staying at my moms house and I have just repented of lust and porn and I am on about day 4 trying to be pure again. I feel its the fear of hell and the lord thats helping me try to be good. I am 50 now though and I feel like I have wasted my life. I feel so much better now though after deciding to try and not be lustful.
      I am trying to forgive my enemies and to be happy but honestly so many painful memories and frustrations make me kind of miserable, I hope things change soon as I feel pretty wretched. The enemy reminds me of all my sins and now I feel so bad about the sins I did in the past when I didnt care so much.
      I guess when we were the worst in our sin christ died for us, sometimes I think I have sinned too much and god will spit me out of his mouth for being too luke warm.

    I was driving and listened to this message- I broke down crying within the first 30 seconds, because I could not understand what is wrong with me as I’ve reached a certain chapter within my salvation. When you realize that you will never be good enough to go to heaven ON YOUR OWN, it will tear you up in the inside. To know that my flesh is sinful and there’s nothing that I can do that would qualify me as a member of heaven without the sacrifice of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I learned that when we depend on our good works, we eliminate grace- which Christ gave to us when he saved our lives. I could not understand this for soooooooo long!!! And now I’m still trying to understand how am I supposed to exist without the thought of “trying to do everything right in my own to please God”…. It’s a struggle. And still a sin. It’s so much to reflect on. But I am willing to learn, and I thank Jesus everyday for my salvation, even if I don’t understand it fully. If He saved me, that means something, even through all of my ignorance, He said “It is done”. And I trust in Him that one day I will understand that while I wait to return to the Father forever 💕.

Then right as the song ended the light went back to normal. I like to think that was God's way of complimenting their harmony.

      Let your light shine for all the world to see, whilst we walk together in the valley of the shadow of death.
      We shall fear no evil because he is with us.
      No matter how worthless we feel, he sees our heart and he knows our worth.
      That humility and acceptance of how broken we are only draws us closer to him.
      How excellent is his name that delivers us from sin and shame!?
      The battle is already won, In Jesus we have that victory.
      Yet the war isn't over until we are finally released from the prison of this mortal coil. Death will be a sweet release into freedom and peace once and for all.
      Do not fear death, embrace it! By this i do not mean that we should seek death on our own terms but we should find comfort in knowing that when we do eventually die that we will finally have relief from our burdens.
      The road is long and treacherous but you are never alone, have courage we will be victorious.

    To quote Whitney Houston: "it's not right, but it's okay." When we sin, it's not right but it's okay. God's grace and mercy are so abundant that the more we seek to understand His love for us, the more it compels us to abandon our sins. The closer we get to Jesus, the less our sins appeal to us. Some sins are weak and easily discarded, others take decades to relinquish. But so long as you have God's hand in yours, you're doing good.

      What people don’t get is that if you recognize Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior accepting him as your only true God believing in him and repenting of every sin, then you are forever saved. We are saved through grace alone, all we literally have to do to be saved foreveer eternally to go to heaven is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ like I listed above and you’ll be saved. If you are a born again Christian you are forever saved regardless if you sin again and again, we all sin, we aren’t perfect like God, regardless if we are Christians. Just know that regardless if you sin you are eternally sealed just try your best to not sin. There will be amny false teachers today that will say you are not saved witj grace but by works that in order to go to heaven you’ll have to do works but that’s not what gets you to heaven, Jesus Christ gets you to heaven just by believing in him. So whoever says otherwise is a false teacher.

    • @Mttumasov

      Hello, you have to understand be careful with what cliffe is saying, even though cliffe is a really good apologist he gets the salvation concept wrong, we are saves theough grace ONLY through believing in Jesus Christ, The Bible states so clearly that if you out your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ you are saved, thats LITERALLY ALL you have to do. Believe that Jesus Christ is the only true God your Lord and savior and you will be saved. Literally that simple, many false teachers overcomplicate things and spread a false gospel but saying you need to work to get to heaven and that is leading many Christians aeay from their faith, Be aware of false teachers that spread a different gospel. We are not perfect like God to be sinless, EVEN if we repent from all sins and recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and try our best to avoid sin, we are ALWAYS going to fall to our own flesh in every way, we are just NOT perfect at all compared to the Lord himself, but don’t let that discourage you because even IF you sin and give in to the flesh, you are still eternally secure. All we have to do is try our best to change for the better good snd let go of old habits and if we fall to our flesh its alright get back up and stand strong and fight. We never lose our salvation when we sin as a born again christian, ofc we shouldn’t take advantage of God’s gift of free salvation through Jesus Christ in a bad way knowing that jsut becayse I am eternally secure doesn’t mean I should now go to nightclubs and do drugs but I should better myself now that I am secure and work on my habits to better myself as a child a God.

He knows exactly what we look like "naked" you are so very real for speaking your heart here, and I think we need more people like this, to say and expose the very pit of our souls that cry to God 24/7 even when our lips are silent

    The fine line is if you trust in Jesus Christ or not. When you follow him, good fruit will come. You will still battle sin, but you have to fully trust in Jesus. Fighting sin is like scratching a mosquito bite. It's feels good to scratch it, but if you do it too much, it will bleed and possibly get infected. We can't let sin win. I, too, am struggling with lust.. We already won the battle against death, but we have to fight here cause the devil is in control of this world. Stay strong, my people!

    Cliff was right about Roman's 7 and also the idea of being the image (Greek: eKon or properly Icon) of God. We look to be the icon of God which is to be like Christ. This requires perpetual conscious awareness, this is why we have to pray and practice being holy. It's why Jesus and Paul talk about praying constantly... the mind with thoughts on God will enable you to walk properly.

    Me too george. Ive been the guy for several years that many people think is a great christian. I love Jesus, im raising my family to love the Lord, i proclaim the Good News publicly and even teach classes to children and youth at my church. And for the last 5 years i have battled a daily alcohol habbit that has been absolutely tearing me to the core. I could hear and relate so keenly to your words and your heart. I dont know where the line is for heaven but i just keep trying to get up, repent, trust Gods renewed mercies and promises to change me. I had an encounter with the Lord 2 nights ago that was very sobering. I was praying and about to work on a youth lesson (already been drinking but didnt feel drunk. Of course sometimes its hard to tell anymore) and as i was praying, the Lord stopped me and rebuked me. He said i have been presuming on His grace and mercy and destroying His temple and that i must make a choice of whether or not i will fully submit or not. He said if not, He doesnt need me to accomplish His works and He will choose another to bless. I havent touched a drop since in these last 2 days (praise God!) But i am still ashamed and feel very low. The entire time though, it was not a voice of condemnation but rather that stern dad voice that says im dissappointed and you need to go to your room until i come get you. But not a kick me outta His house kinda thing. Ive realized that my salvation in Christ is sure but my blessings and rewards are certainly in jeopardy. Ive decided to be sober and present my body as a living sacrifice but i worry of my ability to follow through. Im trusting Him to be my strength and to keep my eyes on Him instead of turning to my sins to cope with my stresses. Its shameful to admit these things but i hope it may be of some encouragement to you. Lets keep our eyes on Jesus and trust Him to teach us to let go and deny ourselves. Like yall said, it is a lifelong process of Him raising and us growing in obedience. Reminds me of a song "im learning to walk again, im learning to talk again. Im learning to live again... its like ive been born again!!" May God continue to bless you brother

My addiction has been marijuana and extreme lust addiction. I’ve caused a lot of pain. May have lost my wife and ripped apart my family. But the 12 steps and the fellowship with fellow addicts is changing my life and bringing me closer to God. In fact it brought me from atheism to Christ

    God honors confession. This is raw and real and I appreciate your honesty. I see some of the comments saying we are saved by Grace but let’s get real here. Grace is NOT a license to sin. Grace is for new believers. Grace is for those who are bound who are really trying to get out. Grace is not for habitual sin. The Bible is clear that the path is narrow. I attended church 2 times a week, attended Bible study and tithed and would tell people I loved Jesus. Yet I was fornicating and lived a life that was contrary to the word. I would have went to hell had I died. I had to choose to surrender and lose my life to gain it. I know my salvation is secure now because I live for him and not me. It’s a choice

    George, thank you so much for being vulnerable. It’s so hard trying to figure out how to walk how to follow Christ in this world when you have so many people telling you something different when you have different things that are pulling you spending time in His word. It’s hard you say I hundred percent agree with and I know there is so many more people that agree with it and it’s so freeing to hear you be so vulnerable because I try to have this conversation with so many people and it’s like nobody understands and it’s even more frustrating and hard because I feel like I’m so alone and this journey I’m trying to figure it out and I have the same fears and I’m trying trying to see you over and over again and your episodes make me feel like I’m not alone in myself and scripture tells us that we’re not alone in our suffering, but I never saw that I’m not alone because every time I talk to people they try to act like there’s so like the relationship with Christ is so perfect and I’m the only one who doesn’t have it figured out so that I’m not alone that I’m not wrong. Thank you so much. Both of you by the power of God has transformed my life so much and I’ve grown so much and I’ve learned so much from watching the both of you help me navigate situations that I never knew how to navigate before or I didn’t have understanding of or I didn’t have anyone to talk to about. You guys have talked about those things you should lay on those things and you’ve helped me so much so thank you And thank you, God.

    Appreciate the honesty George. We are all saved by Grace alone. I would encourage you to surround yourself with great Christian friends if you don’t already have them. That has been a big encouragement for me and helps in keeping me accountable. If bad company corrupts good morals (1 Corinthians 15:33), then I would infer the opposite is also true. The work of Jesus is often gradual, but keep pursuing Him and trusting in His work.

But then the human in us can’t seem to except it because it’s hard to imagine such a holy and righteous God could love such a rotten person.

    I feel the very same thing right now. It eats at me and I am just so drained physically and mentally because of it. I know we don't fight against flesh and blood, so there is that invisible fight that we can't really see unless our spiritual eyes are opened by God. I want to do the right thing but I fail more often than not. I do believe in God and His purpose for dying for me and I love Him for that. I also know that I am grieving Him by doing what is wrong. I want to do right but there is this fight that is within me that is raging and I don't know how to get through it. I've cried out to God and I am still in this way. Who knows what His plans are for this. I knew I wasn't the only one to feel this way. One day I do believe we will be out of this frame of mind and into a place of knowing for His Glory, not ours. Who can say that they themselves got through a certain thing on their own when they are with God and love Him so much. I sure can't. Paul had that thorn in his side and I am sure God used that to keep paul focused on Him and realizing that paul needs Him and only Him.

      Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Confession in John 20:22-23 for a reason-He is giving His apostles, who are the first priests of the Catholic Church, the authority to forgive sins. This is why we have the Sacrament of Confession in the Catholic Church, Jesus uses His priests to forgive us of our sins in a “tangible” way-meaning once we hear the priest say “I absolve you of your sins in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” we know it actually happened and don’t have to question it (semantics aside). In order to receive this beautifully cleansing Sacrament, however, one must be a part of the Catholic Church. Definitely something to think about and look deeper into my friend. God bless you.

Like u said I have transformed so much tho like I’m way calmer now n less prone to get angry, I stopped the drugs im a much better person now than I was before but then I look at all the aspects that I’m still struggling with n at times I just can’t help but cry out to God just begging him to take this flesh away from me cuz even tho I know it’s wrong, I still do wrong n it just pains me after I do wrong. I told God this is my suffering is this addiction of porn n I just wish he could stop the free will in those moments n control me so I don’t give in in those moments but God has told me “this is what is going to build your character, make you stronger n one day you will use this testimony to help others” Even tho that’s not the answer I wanted to hear, I see the good in that. I’m just thankful that he’s so merciful n always forgiving even when I mess up I just wish I could just let this go so easily but through time n the power of God I will overcome.
