1 AND DO NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE. FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER. AMEN. MATTHEW 6:13 *NKJV

We all face temptations in this life at times so; BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 1 PETER 5:8

After all satan knows that; EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES AND ENTICED. ( JAMES 1:14 ) and that is one of his favorite tricks!

Therefore; MY SON, IF SINNERS ENTICE YOU, DO NOT CONSENT. PROVERBS 1:10 Instead; WATCH AND PRAY, LEST YOU ENTER INTO TEMPTATION. THE SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING, BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK. MARK 14:38

Also remember that; NO TEMPTATION HAS OVER-TAKEN YOU EXCEPT SUCH IS COMMON TO MAN; BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION WILL ALSO MAKE THE WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

So, the next time you are tempted do not give in, instead; SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. JAMES 4:7

NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM STUMBLING, AND TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY, TO GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHO ALONE IS WISE, BE GLORY AND MAJESTY, DOMINION AND POWER, BOTH NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN JUDE 24-25

NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE CUNNING THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD HAD MADE. AND HE SAID TO THE WOMAN, “HAS GOD INDEED SAID, YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN? GENESIS 3:1 * NKJV

The serpent (satan) has been tempting mankind since the beginning of this earth age. Just as he tempted Adam and Eve, he tempts us as well! Therefore you must; BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 1 PETER 5:8

There are some things to note about temptation.

  1. Temptation is of the devil and not of God.
  2. Temptation itself is not the sin but sub-coming to it is the sin. BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED BY HIS LUSTS, BEING DRAWN AWAY AND SEDUCED BY THEM THEN WHEN LUST HAS CONCEIVED, IT BRINGS FORTH SIN. AND SIN, WHEN IT IS FULLY FORMED, BRINGS FORTH DEATH. JAMES 1:14-15
  3. God does not lead us so as to tempt us. Why would He want to do that?
  4. No temptation is irresistible. BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION WILL ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

Now as Childern of God we have added protection for It is written; NO TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU EXCEPT SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN; BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION WILL ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

THEREFORE SUBMIT TO GOD, RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. For when you; DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU. JAMES 4:7-8

So, the next time satan tries to tempt you tell him to take a hike! For Jesus Christ gave you that power when He said; “BEHOLD, I GIVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU.” LUKE 10:19-20

Now,

  1. Resist the tempter and submit yourself to God. THEREFORE SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. JAMES 4:7
  2. Be prayerful. A prayerless christian is a powerless chrictian. PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT. EPH 6:18
  3. Read and study the word of God always. FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING APART OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. HEB 4:12
