this is how we overcome.

Gaining freedom from bondage to sin is usually not an easy or quick task. It requires that we work in partnership with the Holy Spirit in overcoming the various aspects of the bondage. The best way I know of to get in tune with the Holy Spirit is to have a daily quiet time with the Lord, including Bible study, prayer, praise and worship.

"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word."

Psalm 119:9-16 NIV

The Bible has everything we need to know about God, living for God and overcoming sin. It gives us many examples of how to follow God and how to avoid the many possible pitfalls in life. King David had a firm grip on God's word and its importance to a pure walk with God. Specifically, David said that purity will stem from:

• 
  Living according to God's word and delighting in it
• 
  Seeking God with all our heart
• 
  Hiding God's word in our heart (learn it, study it, memorize it)
• 
  Praising God and speaking his word
• 
  Rejoicing in obedience to God's commands
• 
  Meditating on God's word and considering His ways

If we're not meeting with God to do the above things, our hopes of living in purity will not be realized. Without the daily input of God's word in our life, we will gradually be overrun by the world's desires and the corruption of the lusts within our heart.
