Bible Verse of The Day – 12-18-18

James 1:14 (NKJV) 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

Most times when we are feeling temptation it is only because we hold within in us the desire to do whatever it may be that is tempting us at that moment.

In order to get rid of the temptation, we have to hit that desire that’s within us with the Word of God.

Studying the scriptures that strictly pertain to that subject will help us to overcome that temptation, if we listen and let the Holy Spirit guide us, giving us the strength to push down our own fleshly desire.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

We have to remember we do not fight temptation on our own. We use the two-edged sword for that. God gives us the power we need through His Word, to win.

Many Christians struggle with some kind of temptation. Don’t just sit there and cry out to God for help. We need to get up and start helping ourselves by looking for the scriptures, the answers to our own questions. God didn’t give up on us. He made a way for us. Most times we have to go get it.

Dear God in Heaven,

We come to You today to ask for help in getting free from personal temptation. We know we need to take steps within ourselves to win this fight. Help us to kick out those wrong desires within us and get the right ones manifesting through the reading and studying of what You have to say about them.

We thank you Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
