Good Re: fighting temptation

God will not allow satan to tempt us more than we can handle, plus He will always provide an escape route for us. We just have to learn to ask for directions from God and He will show us the way to overcome our temptations. Even when we do fail, we need to remember to ask God to forgive us and then accept His forgiveness. God allows the memories of our failures to remain in our minds, not to leave them to torture us, but so that we can remember what happened the last time we failed and hopefully this will help us to not fail in that area again. PRAISE GOD, WE DO SERVE AN AWESOME GOD.

Well it certainly does depend on what the temptation it is since yes it can be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. SOOO depending on what the issue is varies on how it is dealt with, HOWEVER the only thing that never changes in these is pray. In ALL things I pray for strength and wisdom and protection.

Pray Re: fighting temptation

This is one subject that we need to study and put into practice, because satan is always tempting us and it is not the temptation that is the sin, it is the willful nature of us to go ahead and do the sin. This reminds me of the scripture in James 1:12 - 15:

James 1:12 - 15 = Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him. Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one. but every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust; then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.

It is amazing how God will bring scriptures to your mind, just when you need them. We do serve an awesome God.
