Temptation


 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 )

  Dear Friend
      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, 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. (James 1:14) (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 )

Promises

There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ( 1 kings 8:56 *kjv )

 Dear friend
   Did you know that there are 8,910 promises in the Bible?  There  are 7,706 promises in the Old Testament, and 1,204 promises in  the New Testament!  That is a total of  8,910 promises in all!

   Now you will find that God made 7,485 promises to mankind,  and mankind made 1,416 promises to God.  [ The remaining 9  promises were made by satan to mankind!  Most of those you  will find in the Book of JOB.]

   Well Friend  these 7,485 promises from God to us just about  cover all of the bases!   Isn't it Wonderful that we have a Heavenly  Father that is gracious enough to give us all of those promises? A God that also anticipates all of our needs and often sends us
 help even before we ask Him too.  After all it is written; He shall  give His Angels charge over you, to keep you in  all your ways. (psalms 91:11 )

    Now, having these promises, beloved, let us  cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ( 2 Corinthians 7:1 )

   Therefore why not enjoy your day thinking about  how well God has taken care of you, and knowing that He  always will!   Also have a safe and happy weekend  my friend!
 Amen.
