TEMPTATIONS.
What is Temptation?
It’s a state of being enticed to what is
displeasing to God by promise of Pleasure or gain (James 1:14-15)
Stages of Temptation
1 1. Curiosity
As a person cannot get burnt unless he/she is near fire.. This is the
enticement from the Enemy, the Devil.
22.Charmed (in
Love with) (Hebrews 11:25)
This comes from the former things that we
were used to do, or better where we were before salvation.
33. Capture and caught
(2 Samwel 11:1-5, Mathew 5:28, Genesis 39:6)
This is the most fatal stage and the enemy
capitalizes on this to capture our mind. Hence we mostly Yield.
Keys to Overcome:
The keys highlighted here will help you to
overcome temptation if you have the right mind and motives;-
a1. Don’t yield even one inch (Genesis 39:8)
In Most cases we lie to ourselves that we
know our break point!! That is the beginning of our downfall. We need to be
Strong from the start.
2. Look Beyond your immortal wants (Hebrews 11:25)
In most cases the temptation comes in mind
that we have our immortal needs, we ought to understand that we have more that
our immortal needs.
Sexual sin is the Most temptation that most
of the People yield to.. We need to know that temptation is there to make us
yield.. Be strong.
Many a times we lie to our immortal souls
that we shall overcome irrespective where we go. The way to go is realize
temptation approach and don’t go near it. Don’t entertain temptation.
5. Flee from Temptation (Genesis 39:12, 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 Corinthians 6:15-20)
Its evidence that if we don’t flee from
Temptation, we will certainly do yield to it.
Have in Mind that we cannot resist/Overcome Temptation if we don’t have a
Strong Being in Us; We need Christ to help us refuse to give in to the enemy at
all cost. We need to build one another’s Faith to overcome.
