Word of Hope for Today
with PRC
How
to overcome Temptation (Part-1)
“Nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon
You.” 2Ch 20:12 NKJV
Today’s Insight
When Jesus told Peter
he would soon deny his Lord, Peter boasted, “Others may, but not me!” Yet
within a few hours he was swearing and disavowing any knowledge of Jesus. It
can happen to any of us. The Bible says, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn
away by his own [particular] desires and enticed” (Jas 1:14 NKJV). We all have
areas of vulnerability which, if not disciplined by character and commitment,
have the potential to defeat or even destroy us. What can you do?
(1) Recognize it. Before you yield
to temptation you usually go through certain stages. By neglecting prayer and
Bible reading you become indifferent to God, insensitive to danger, and find
yourself drawn like a moth to a flame. Then you begin to rationalize your
disobedience and think, “Nobody knows. What harm will it do?” And the more you
silence the voice of conscience, the stronger your carnal appetites become.
Then you surround yourself with people who do the same things, or are at least
willing to look the other way. Jesus said, “Pray…that you may not enter into
temptation” (Mk 14:38 AMP). Pray for strength before the temptation comes!
(2) Reach for help. When Jehoshaphat
came up against an enemy too big to handle alone, he prayed, “We have no power
against this great multitude…nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon
You.” Jehoshaphat knew he was no match for the Enemy, and he knew where to turn
for help. What’s the secret of victory? Lean less on yourself and more on
God!
Prayer for Today
O
heavenly Father thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank you for giving us
strength to stand against temptation. Lord, thank you that you always draw us
in prayer and reading the Bible so that we will be escape away from any
temptation. Lord I knew that my flesh is too weak but you oh Lord strong and
mighty and ready to assist and support me when temptation eats my flesh because
you care for me. Lord empowers me by your Word and let your Holy Spirit guide, directs
me to have a right decision and walk according to your ways. In Jesus name!
Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Father
in heaven I admit that I am a sinner; I repent of all my sins and accept your
Son Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord & Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer
from the bottom of your heart you are now saved, it is God's... promise in John
3:16 - that if you trust His Son (Jesus) you will not perish or die but you
will have ETERNAL LIFE.
To
develop your Faith look for a local Bible Based Church in your area
and serve God first place in your life I promise you that if you do that, God
will take you to a place that you have never dream of and your life will never
be the same again.
Again
congratulations and welcome to the
family of God.
God
bless you!
