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 )
