Temptation

When we succumb to temptation, we feed the fire that burns in our flesh. When this fire burns we quench the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.

We can't overcome temptation on our own ... but the good news is that we are not alone! The best way to overcome is to stand on the truth of God's word and to appropriate His promises by faith.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:13

Overcome temptation? Yes, I can do all things through Him.

Overcome fear? Yes, I can do all things through Him.

Be freed from the bondage of sin? Yes, I can do all things through Him.

There is nothing we cannot do if we have Christ ... For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. ~ 1 John 5:3-4

Be encouraged in God's word and know that God has said you can overcome!
