Resisting evil
influences
The true test and
temptation is not what you do with your weakness. You know your weakness. You
know what you do not have. You have no choice but to stand in humility because
you are weak in that area. You and I
have a choice when it comes to our weakness… we can fight it and let it take
over or you can recognize it is a weakness and go through the fire and suffer.
You are powerless in the situation. The
true test in temptation is what do you do with what you have?
What you have is what power
you have. This is why people who have nothing will lie, steal, and cheat to get
something. They have nothing so they must find a way to gain the power to make
their own choices.
It is what you have that
truly draws in your temptation. How do you handle this opportunity? Do you use
it for your own good or for the good of others. It is not about how you handle
broke with your tithe…10% of broke is still broke! It is about how you handle
what you have been given and do you give with an open heart that says it all
belongs to God and 10% is His portion…. or do you keep strings attached to what
God has given you.
You have Internet at your
house…you have the power of the world wide web. How you use it is your test.
“Having” opens
responsibility and that opens the influence of temptation…Do you show off so
everyone can see what super Christian you are…when you resist evil influences you never have to prove what you
already are.
James 4:7 states; “Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Satan and his minions are
like hackers who are constantly trying to insert bad software into your
mind. We must learn how to identify
them, remove them and shut down their access points into our lives. Resisting
temptation is hard work and it is hard to remain faithful when all we think on
is the sin.
Cling to the truth…always
forgive…resist temptation…Seeking transformation in 2014. You know I love ya, Don
