With respect to:
Put On Positive Qualities – Put Away Negative Qualities.
I’ve tried this by myself, just me and God and it did not work. What I needed was to surrender in a a REAL way. I found it through a Christ Centered program called Celebrate Recovery that deals directly in a biblical way with Hurts, Habits and Hangups. No matter what your issue. I highly recommend it. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE has Hurts, Habits and Hangups…no one escapes. Check it out, walk it out.

Thank you for this great article. This morning I woke up feeling down. God set me from depression five years ago so when I feel down, I fight those feelings with a passion. I refuse to get depressed. I decided to stick to my morning routine: pat the dog on the head, greet my hubby, prepare a cup of coffee, set the timer & go downstairs for my 45 min quiet time. I sang a couple of worship songs, thanked the Lord for his presence, silently told him how i was feeling (he knows anyway) and confessed that I knew He was not the problem, read my chapter for the day and prayed. I said out loud: I don’t care how I feel, I’m not led by feelings, I am led by the Holy Spirit and I take authority over all thoughts that do not honor God and I cast them down”. (I didn’t feel any differently). Got ready for work, kissed my hubby and said goodbye to the dogs. I drove 15 miles to work while listening to a teaching on “Thanksgiving” which included the Pastor saying that “it’s never good to feel sorry for oneself” and “God’s grace is enough to help me today”. I said outloud “I believe God’s grace is sufficient for me” and “thank you Lord for your grace to make me have a successful day”. (I didn’t feel any differently). It’s not 5:30pm and I don’t know exactly when things changed but I am thankful that God has taught me to persevere and not give in to the lies of the enemy or to my own thoughts. I was able to do some extra stuff at work which others were thankful for. I was light and salt today. I am feeling just fine and look forward to spending a great evening at home with hubby. Be encouraged today and God bless!!

Because of the above verses it will help me through holy-spirit by putting away all my bad qualities and put on the qualities or the fruits of spirit which help me To become a Godly woman seeking to do thy will in my life.
My unclean heart cannot serve God, as i am a sinner but Jesus blood will wash away all my sins and my unclean heart.

Definitely God is the one who lead me in your website to read this article. God has spoken to me in different ways about being renewed in mind and mindset, though I wasn’t do what I suppose to do. I do understand clearly today what it means and what I should do when I read this article. My life will never be the same.

Keep blessing

One of the most helpful articles I have read on the internet in my search for Christian articles to help in my faith walk with God. I am starting right away to work on my anger problem. With God’s help I know I will overcome. I am very grateful to you for this timeous article. Our Church Assembly theme for 2012 is “The Year of Transformation.” That is why I say the article is timeous.

I am having a problem with lust and the whole thing is utterly dissipointing. Everytime I turn around there is always some woman wanting somthing. Prior to my conversion I had a lot of these fators, but nowadays the sexual-gratification is not physically internalized. Because God through his son saving me I now just have thoughts instead of eros.

I loved this article. It is all so true. So far,the Lord has helped me get rid of my anger, plus I no longer talk about people like I used to. I still have a lot of other terrible qualities that I need His help with. I realized from this article that I may not have been exerting enough effort to change on my own and too much effort talking to the Lord and asking Him to do it for me. But it does seem to help to tell the Lord how utterly helpless I am to change things without Him.
I’d like to share a few other things that I do in hopes that it will help someone:

I also tell God how much I love Him and that I don’t want this sin in my heart to keep me separated from Him. I also want to hear His guidance so that I can obey better, but this sin is making it so that He will not hear me or answer me. I think that God wants us to give up all our sins and will not help us if we are holding onto some secret sin. He wants us to “be holy” across-the-board. Motivation is important too, like “I want to be pure to serve You, to be like Jesus, to demonstrate my love for You, to please You and bring You great joy, to present myself before You as righteous and holy, to carry out Your will and not mine, to discover my preordained plan and to fulfill it, to glorify You here on earth, etc.
I think God wants us to try to obey all the commandments, the entire Bible basically. As I am exercising great effort to do this, God seems to help me faster. I ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to me at night my sins from the day and I confess them. Then I ask God to help me during my sleep to give me insights about these areas of sin and to please eliminate them.

Prayer for purity:

Heavenly Father,
In return for Your great love which caused You to send down your beloved Son, and in return for Jesus’ great love which led Him to die on the cross for us, I can’t give You a holy life, because I’m not holy; I can’t give You a pure soul, because my soul isn’t pure. But there is one thing that I can give You: a heart that will never cease from this day forward, till I reach the grave, to strive to be holy and pure, to strive to be more like You, to come ever closer to You, and to root out any sin within me that separates me from You.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)
Teach me to do thy will, for Thou art my God; Thy spirit is good. Lead me into the land of uprightness. (Psalm 143:10)
Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments, for therein do I delight. (Psalm 119:35)

in Jesus’ name, Amen
