John MacArthur @ http://www.sfpulpit.com posted a series of posts adapted from a message John preached on a practical plan for overcoming personal sin.
1. Recognize the Presence of Sin in Your Flesh.
2. A Heart Fixed on God.
The Psalmist said in Psalm 57:7, “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed.”
The Psalmist said in Psalm 119:6, “Then shall I not be ashamed.” When? When will you not be ashamed? “When I have respect unto all thy commandments.”
3. Meditate on the Word.
Third, the victorious Christian life is a life that dwells on the Word of God (cf. Psalm 1:2).
4. Commune with God in Prayer.
Paul said, “I haven’t attained,” I love this, “but,” he said, “I press towards the mark” (cf. Php. 3:14).
Likewise, Peter said that our lives should be characterized by obedience to the truth (1 Pet. 1:22).
