Hey people! I know that temptation is something that we face in our lives daily you may not know it but the devil always finds subtle ways to tempt us.
-One thing that we must remember is that the devil is not a myth. THE DEVIL IS ALIVE AND REAL!
-The devil aways finds ways to tempt us be it something big like murder or something as small as rolling your eyes behind your parents' backs, the devil is always there tempting you to do it.
-But don't worry...God will never leave you...He on your side when the devil tempts you.
-When you use God's word to fight the devil the Lord will strengthen you.
-However, make sure that you know God's word because the devil can also twist the words around to tempt you even more. Like Jesus' temptation...check matthew 4:1-11
Matthew 4:1-11
The Temptation of Jesus
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."
10Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.
11Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
-Always remember that God provides a way out of temptation. And that when you are tempted God knows exactly what you are going through because He has been through it as well as a man when He came to earth as Jesus.
Some bible verses
1 Corinthians 10:13 (New International Version)
13No 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.
James 1:2-6 (New International Version)
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
