resources you need in order to fight temptation:
1. fellowship
with other CHRISTians. you will not make
it if you do not have fellowship with other CHRISTians. we were not meant to fight the battle by
ourselves. get involved with some
CHRISTian friends. get involved in a
bible study, a small group. find a place
where you can share, meet some friends, then begin to share on a gut
level. share the problem you’re
struggling with. we’re all in the same
boat.
temptations are common to man. when you’re able to talk about a problem you
are able to get control of it. revealing
your feelings is the beginning of healing.
if you hold it in and you don’t tell anybody, it just gets worse and
becomes something that scares you to death.
2. get into
GOD’s word. the bible is our secret
weapon against temptation. it is the
truth.
JESUS said, you
will know the truth and the truth will set you free. do you want to be free from that bad
habit? fill your mind with the
bible. refocus on it. instead of thinking about what’s getting you
down, get your mind on what’s good, whatever is true, and just and holy.
if you know the truth it will keep you from being
deceived. if you want to know how satan
attacks, study the bible.
what is the payoff?
blessed (happy) is the man who endures temptation…(it’s
that good feeling of self-confidence and self esteem because you realize you’re
not being controlled by anything except the LORD)…when he is tried he shall receive the crown which is life…(you
begin to enjoy the abundant life)…which
the LORD has promised to them that love HIM.
just a thought from the front porch…
