Weaknesses That Beset Youths And How To Overcome Them

And so I came online yesterday on my long abandoned 2go messenger where I had a discussion with one of my sons in the Lord. He was battling with a weakness that propelled me to create this thread to render help to youths who here, are struggling to overcome these weaknesses due to their retar'ded growth in the Spiritual realm into maturity. If this my son in the Lord at his age can be struggling with such thing I fear for the youths in the Churches and wonder if the shepherds are really shepherding. 


As a youth filled with invigorating energy I have managed to list major weaknesses perhaps besetting sins which I myself have overcome in my early years in Faith and which as observed many sheep in the fold,mainly youths, are struggling with.

NOTE: If you are struggling with a weakness not listed, all you have to do is make it known. Spiritual people here will help you with it.


1. Mendacity: Mendacity means telling lies. Taking myself as an example then, I do lie. I lie with such intensity that can raised the dead if such lies are told against them,the dead I assume cannot keep quiet to such lies. But then somehow i understand mendacity is a bad trait, a trait not found in Christ. And since it's not found in Christ, it can't be in the Father and the command is "Be yee perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" and I want to be perfect. But how did I stop telling lies?

Each weakness have other weakness(es) they feed on and the lieing spirit have a weakness he feeds on. Generalization of weaknesses as default of the flesh is dangerous and destructive to sons of God as they are not, example is fear which is the weakness that makes one lie. Fear is attributed to the spirit not the flesh. To overcome the temptation to lie you must first overcome the spirit of fear, the only way to save someone under electric shock is switching off the light not touching the person. Your problem is not lieing, fear is. You lie only when you are afraid of the revelation of Truth. You tell a lie when you are afraid of mortal men. Stop being afraid of men and you won't be telling lies again.

2. Sexual Urge: It takes me with much surprise when I see Youths complain about their Sexual urge. I wonder if I am not human since I don't feel these urges but then I see am not the only one like this, there are thousands of us like that in the Church. Excuse are it's natural, assume it is, but If not controlled you end up fornicating and masturbating,sisters in the fellowship take turns every night and before you know it you have become father Abraham with many sons. And these things above are works of the flesh which makes them sins when left unchecked gradually replaces the light in you with darkness till you see nothing wrong with what you are doing. 

Sexual urges can be controlled, not only controlled but stopped at the same time. Yes, you read me well, it can be stopped. Now many shepherds understand self control is the key, what is needed to control it. But ask them how do you exercise this self control they had no knowledge of how.So how do you apply self control? 

Sexual urges agreed has it's source rooted deep in the flesh.Meaning, it is dead without the flesh . So if you live every hour in the spiritual realm instead of the physical Sexual urges will cease to exist. Living in the spirit is not a difficult thing to do.Now am aware living in spirit to some means speaking in tongues. Well, that is not true, living in the spirit is having your mind more on spiritual things instead of things on earth. Above instead of below. As you set your mind on spiritual things you become spiritually alive oblivious of things around,even your body becomes dead. With the death of the body comes the end of the Sexual urges. Understand this process is painful if you have gone through it as a son of God but the fruit of it is worth the pains.

3. Anger: If asked the probabilty of not getting angry in a day you had probably said 0%. Anger in youths you will agree with m
