Psalm 109:26 (NKJV) 26 Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Temptation comes in many different ways and sometimes dealing with it can be very difficult.<\/p>\n

Let us be very real with you today. All of us struggle with different types of temptation. Being a believer doesn’t mean that we are exempt from it.<\/p>\n

Some may seem like they are little, minuscule or tiny compared to other temptations. It doesn\u2019t matter. We are still tempted and we need to know that if we can’t beat it, it will beat us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do we beat it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We have to\u00a0acknowledge that we are being tempted and admit that we have trouble with whatever it is that is tempting us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The next step is\u00a0to know that if something keeps tempting us, and we can’t overcome it, then we need to recognize\u00a0that a part of us\u00a0likes\u00a0whatever it is, even though we know it’s wrong or not good for us. We have to fix that part of us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How?<\/p>\n

We have to starve or deprive ourselves of it. Whatever it may be, we cannot have anything to do with it or be around those people, places or things that are associated with it, at least until we are strong enough to stand against it. We have to make a big bold statement and stick to it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When we do decide “No More”, we’d better be ready for the fight of our life, because things that we are addicted to don’t just go away. We opened a door to them\u00a0and gave it\u00a0a home in us. For that reason, we can’t expect it to simply go away now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We need to throw\u00a0out what we allowed in and then lock up that door tight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When it comes to cleaning out or getting rid of\u00a0addictions there is a\u00a0spiritual deliverance\u00a0that needs to take place\u00a0in order for us to get completely free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It doesn’t mean we have to thrash around on the floor and foam at the mouth. That’s not what we are saying, although sometimes that may happen. Deliverance is\u00a0personal\u00a0and\u00a0different for each person. It’s between us and God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When we are serious about getting free from addictions, God is faithful to deliver us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dear God in Heaven,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today I am struggling with the temptation of \u2026……….. Please help me to get free from this. I don’t want it anymore. I command it to go, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! I know that the name and the blood of Jesus are more powerful than anything that tempts me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I ask You\u00a0to\u00a0help me\u00a0be\u00a0bold and say NO\u00a0when I am tempted.\u00a0Please give me the wisdom to clean up the atmosphere around me, that I\u00a0may\u00a0remain\u00a0free from this\u00a0for the rest of my days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thank\u00a0you,\u00a0Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
