This means being in the Word daily. It means memorizing useful passages. It means a conscious decision, now, to use them, when needed, with the Spirit's guidance. All this requires conscious effort and then it will become second nature. But if you're going to be good at anything, a similar effort is required.
Good athletes practice much.
Top notch performers put in hours of practice. Whenever you have become good at something, it has been the result of much tire and effort being expended. It doesn't really matter if you become good in a lot of other things in life, but it does matter if you have a sharp sword to fight the battle against homosexuality. Freedom in Christ brings a feeling of power over life that nothing else can bring. I thing that can assail me.
