journal/TEMPTATION

The last words Jesus heard from HIS FATHER before going into the desert to face the devil
PRESUMABLY were:

"THIS is my BELOVED SON in WHOM I am we ll pleased"

JUST think HOW well pleased HIS FATHER was WITH HIM after RESISTING the devil for 40 days and nights-AND just think HOW WELL PLEASED OUR FATHER will be with us-IF we are able to resist temptation this Lent for THE LOVE OF GOD

IT is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us!

LOVE YOU ALL!

TEMPTATION


Have you ever
Come face to face
With the person or thing
That is the absolute worst thing
In the world for you


Where every fiber
Of your being is saying
I want this person
Or I want to
Follow my own selfish impulse
And give in to that temptation


I suggest to you
That that is where you meet God
At the deepest darkest level
Of our own souls


Temptation is something
That tests a person’s character
That either makes you
Or brakes you


Look at what happened
With Adam and Eve
We all know
What happened there


If you are being tempted
In some area
Of your life
Consider it a compliment
The devil hasn’t gotten control of you yet


So when the devil comes after you
And he will
You have but one weapon
The Word of God


Jesus said,
“It is written
Man does not live on bread alone”


Life comes from the spirit


Jesus said,
“Worship the Lord your God
And serve him only”


Choose light over darkness


Jesus answered,
“Do not
Put the Lord your God
To the test”


Choose God
Over the flesh


You are never going
To be free from temptation
Life is an ongoing journey


But if we choose
Light over darkness
If we choose
God over the devil
If we choose good over evil


We will
Not only survive
But we will thrive
On God’s Word
And in the Lord

TEMPTATION is defined as, “something that tests a person’s righteousness
And strength of character”


“NO TEMPTATION has seized you except what is common to man
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 way out
So that you can stand up under it”
1 Corinthians 10:13


“When TEMPTED-no one should say-“God is tempting me”
For God cannot be TEMPTED by evil-nor does he TEMPT anyone”

James 1:13
