What is the transgression that so easy gets your goat, ensnares and causes you to fall into iniquity? Heb 12:1 - Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, A great many of people who did good service towards God have had to deal with and overcome so hugh addictions to please God. Like David, who had the same problem I had.Sexual lust was mine transgression that plagued me. I have to watch what I entertainment myself with on television. If I put it before my eyes on a movie, it gets into my mind, and then the thoughts start. I have to stop watching the movie. I was addicted to pornography since my childhood. My father use to collect VCR movies and magazines of pornagraphy. I would often look at these things and get caught by my father who would not punish me in return. I had to go years in the faith fighting and seeking deliverance from this vice. I would go months doing good, then without conscious that pornography would come accross my path from an outside source like my college roommate, army barracks roommate, living with my parents again (after I turned 18, my father stopped hiding them and place them in plain view), and ex wife (she later tried to turn me into a swinger, and yes this marriage ended in divorce after she committed adultery), and others to include saints. The same thing would happen every time. I would get reintroduce to pornography and then have to fight it off. It would cloud my thoughts and emotions. I would find myself drawn to it. Eventually the Holy Spirit would rescue me from this vice again and again. Now deliverance is a real thing.Now I go on to next vice that I am addicted to, pride. It must fall as well if I am to be the man God called me to be.What vice and addictive transgression causes you to stumble?
