Don't Fight Temptation - JUST RUN

Don't fight temptation, JUST RUN!!!
It is impossible to win a fight with temptation; so, JUST RUN!!!


Feel like watching Pron, shut down the laptop and get out of the room.
Feel like engaging in lustful fantacies, get up and get distracted....
Feel like committing unholy acts with self, get up and get out.
Entangled in emotional affairs, delete numbers and block concerned individuals.



One of the surest way to overcome temptation, is a strong prayer life and a closer walk with Christ.


So, how do you plan to handle your next encounter with temptation???

Overcoming Temptation - Difficult but Possible

It is sometimes very difficult to overcome temptation - but not impossible
In the end, giving into temptation is a choice that we make.
We have no one to blame but ourselves if we give into temptation.
Though, all our senses push us to give into temptation, we still have the choice to give in or not.

Man by nature is tempted to do the wrong thing.
He is ever struggling to choose God and righteousness.
The only way to overcome this struggle and naturally do what is correct is to surrender to God.
When man aggressively surrenders to God on a daily basis, God’s spirit begins to have union with man’s spirit and gives man the strength to choose what is right.
This union is possible because of what Christ accomplished on the cross.
Christ’s redemptive work on the cross makes man eligible to have a spiritual union with God though man’s soul is stained with sin.

When man calls out to God, God sees man as sanctified by the blood of Christ and is willing to have a spiritual union with man.
This spiritual union gives man the power to naturally choose what is right and overcome temptation.
Let us all surrender to God and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit that gives us the power over sin and death. Amen!!
