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.
