Six-C Method For Self Control

The grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live self-controlled in this present world.  Is there a habit in our lives that needs to be captured by the grace of God?  To practice self control there is a Six-C Method:

Determine to bring every thought and habit under CAPTIVITY to Christ.
CONFESS it to God in a specific prayer of repentance.
CLAIM the victory from God on the basis on His great and precious promises.
CONFIDE this matter to a trusted friend who will serve as your accountability partner.
And CONTINUE, no matter what - don't give in or give up, even if you have failures along the way.
God's grace is stronger than your weakness, and His blood not only forgives you, it CLEANSES from all sin.

from Captured By Grace by David Jeremiah
