Fighting Temptation

  • PRAYER “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” Mat. 6:13
    • On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” Luke 22:40

      • Important verses

      • 1 Corinthians 10:13 - “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it.”
      • Hebrews 4:15 “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.”

        • How have we personally fought temptation?

        Pray before all situations possibly leading to temptation. God provides a way out.

        Accountability - Have brothers/sisters ur close w/check in on you. Pray for each other & hold each other accountable.

        James 5:16 - “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
