May 30, 2023 · Jesus resisted the devil’s temptations with the truth of God’s Word, and so can we (Matthew 4:4, 10). God also provides a way of escape from temptation through prayerful vigilance. Jesus told Peter, James, and John to “ watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mark 14:38).

May 30, 2023 · Answer. Temptation is a battle for every Christian, and the Bible has much to say about this. One common passage is 1 Corinthians 10:13, which states, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a ...
New International Version. 13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Read full chapter.

Let’s be clear about one thing. You never have to sin. God will never lead you to a place where your only choice is disobedience. We always have a choice. When we do wrong, we can’t say, “The devil made me do it.” Like Eve in the Garden, we choose to eat the forbidden fruit. Shortly after the terror attacks on 9/11, military strategists developed t...
The Bible says we are to “put on the whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:11). Adopting a warfare mentality means we are always at war, that a battle is raging all around us, and that we ourselves are frontline soldiers. In the old days soldiers were told, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” But that doesn’t work in modern warfare beca...
I used to listen to a preacher who liked to say, “If you’re going to be a Christian, be one!” That’s wise advice. You’ve got to make up your mind because a man who tries to have it both ways will end up destroyed. Compromise leads to destruction in the spiritual realm. Remember what Jesus said: In the early days of the Christian church, baptismal c...
The devil hates it when we sing because godly music rouses our souls, lifts our hearts, and restores our faith. When God’s people sing together, we invade the devil’s territory. In my pastoral ministry, on many occasions I went to church on Sunday morning feeling weak and tired. Perhaps it was because of a busy week, or perhaps I was carrying a par...
Psalm 119:11 says, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Jesus prayed, “Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth” (John 17:17 NLT). The Word of God not only tells us how to live; it also gives us the power to make the right choices. A young man came to see me because he had been struggling...
You will never defeat the devil on your own. That’s why the New Testament has so many “one another” commands: Love one another. Pray for one another. Serve one another. Build up one another. Confess your sins to one another. Encourage one another. The devil loves to attack Christians who get separated from their brothers and sisters. If he can get ...
Don’t be surprised by sudden attacks or discouraging events or personal disappointments. We call it spiritual warfare for a reason. We all have our share of victories and defeats. Some days it feels like we are fighting a losing battle. Often it seems like we are battling on a thousand fronts at once. Remember that God measures our spiritual progre...
1. We are at war with an enemy far stronger than we are. He stops at nothing, he lies, he cheats, he deceives. If we defeat him today, he’ll be back tomorrow morning. In fact, he won’t wait until tomorrow. Satan comes to us in a thousand guises, most of them hard to spot, all of them deadly to our soul. If we fight him in our own strength, we will ...
Sep 8, 2022 · God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13) “This is the good news we have when facing temptation: strong help is available.”. When we’re tempted, Jesus helps us keep the true Story of ...

God does not forsake us when we are tempted. He comes to our aid and gives us succour —the help we need to endure and overcome. Paul says, "God is faithful" which means we can trust God not to let us down or abandon us when we need him most (1Corinthians 10:13). So this is the first thing God does: he stands by us and with us in our struggles.
