Overcoming Temptations

 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin - Hebrews 4:15.

Be filled with the Holy Spirit

                   When Jesus was led by the Spirit to be tempted, he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh - Galatians 5:16. The Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses - Romans 8:26.

Be prayerful

                    As Jesus prayed and fasted for forty days, He was able to overcome Satan. Let us be always watchful in prayer. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak - Matthew 26:41. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit - Ephesians 6:18.

Use the Word of God

                    Jesus overcame the temptations of devil by the word of God. Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him - Mathew 4:12. The word of God is the main weapon to be used by us to attack the devil. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God - Ephesians 6:17.  Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7.

                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us be always filled with Your Spirit. Help us to overcome all the temptations by Your Word and prayer. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
