TEMPTATION: You Know The Devil's Devices!

There Is No Sin In Being Tempted

But

There Is A Problem With 

Being Regularly Tempted By The Same Sin!

Falling Into Divers Aka Different Temptations 

Suggests Onward, Upward, Mobility In Our Christian Growth! 

All Christians Must Grow Up In Grace!

Beloved, 

Nobody Plans To Fall! 

Falling Happens When One Is Unaware Of A Pitfall

Is Careless About One's Surroundings 

Or One Just Loses One's Balance! 

We Are Warned Of The Devil's Devices 

And

We Know 

And 

Should Be Within The Hedge Of Protection That 

The Lord Provides For His People! 

When We Find Ourselves Being Tempted By 

And

Giving Into The Same Temptation 

And

Committing The Same Sin Repeatedly

We Need To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts

Look At Those With Whom We Are Walking

And

Reevaluate Our Commitment To Christ 

And

Our Growth In His Grace! 

The Temptation

That Is Not

Forcefully Resisted

The First Time That It Appears

Comes Back Harder And Harder To Resist

Each Time That We Fail To Overcome It!

Think Carefully ...

A Healthy And Fit Person Crawling Like A Baby 

Has A Problem Which Must Be Patiently Corrected 

And

Likewise The Christian Who Is Not Forcefully

Patiently, Prayerfully

Daily Conquering The Minor Temptations 

To Grow Strong Spiritual Muscles 

To Deal With The Major Temptations Known Up Ahead! 

Be Wise ... 

Don't Play With Temptation! 

Chop Off Temptation's Head By The Word Of Truth

And

Stay Constantly In Prayer:

Take Your Burden To The Lord

Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit

Take The Living God At His Holy Word

And

Dare To Walk ... Enduringly ... In Unfailing Faith!

Jesus Christ ... Alone ... Saves!

Your Temptation

Is

Dressed To Thrill You!

Have A "Thus Saith The Lord"

At The Ready To Decimate It!
