As per James 5, I would like to call the pray-way elders to pray for me and annoint me with virtual oil. I have been experiencing declining health characterized by remittant episodes of bizarre symptoms similar to MS. I have been convinced that my health decline is related to a long struggle I have had with sin. As James 5 states, in this regard, I must confess my sins.
The last several years of my life have been a revolving door of repentence and return to sin. When I fall, I am dumbfounded by foolishness and wickedness. I know I hurt God. I also know that He is not mocked, whoever sows to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption. In my repentant state I even promised never to return to sexual impurity (pornography), but I broke my oath.
Now, I am struggling with my job, raising my two boys, and my relationship with my wife. I am convinced that even the health problems she is facing with depression and hypothyroidism is related to my sin too. She says, she feels an oppression in our home. I want desperately to be the godly husband and father I should be, but I need victory over the flesh and healing for my body.
I trust God to bring the healing for me and my family that He promises. I know He is faithful when I am not. He does not break his promises, even though I do. Thank you everyone for your prayers, and may God bless you abundantly.

Lansy,Yes, the ups and downs in our attempts to gain victory over the flesh.
You have to struggle.Not a struggle of the flesh ,but a struggle of faith(stay in the vine).
From the days of John the Babtist until the present time,the kingdom of heaven endured violent
assault,and violent men seize it by force John 12:12
The victory is ours in Jesus if we endure in Him.
For the gospel reveals how God puts men right with himself:it is through faith alone,from
beginning to end.
We pray for you.

Hi Lansy,
Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:18-20
v18) Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
v19) Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
v20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Lansy, I want you to believe with me and agree with me.
Father, we come before you with humility and meekness of spirit. I ask for forgiveness for Lansy. I ask that anything in Lansy's life that would exalt itself against you be torn down and taken out of the way. That it is bound here on earth and in heaven. I know that all things are possible for you Father. God, I ask that Lansy and his family are healed physically and mentally, that their health is restored. That your love warms each of them, that they can bask in your goodness and mercy. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Brother, I have received a lot of mercy from God. God is rich in mercy. Please read Psalm 103. He has forgiven us as far as the east is from the west. Do you know how far that is? When you stumble, pick yourself up and tell God you're sorry in Jesus' name. Change whatever it is you did. Memorize bible verses that pertain to the problem. Arm yourself with the word and use it. The word of God is a sword. Read the word more, pray much more. You can do it.
James 4:6-8a
v6) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
v7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
v8a) Draw nigh (close) to God, and he will draw nigh (close) to you.
God bless!
Mary O.
