Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-23

Hebrews 2:18 (NKJV) 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Jesus was tempted in all areas. And He remained sinless.

Was it easy for Him?

No. It was exceedingly painful at times. But because He was tempted, He knows what temptation involves and what it feels like. And He can sympathize with us.

You see, if you don’t go through things yourself, you can’t really help others. If you don’t understand what they are dealing with, you can’t walk them through it.

Jesus understands.

Some of us today are being tempted repeatedly, to the point where we are about ready to just give in so it will stop.

But, remember that we have dwelling in us Him who helps us not to give in.

He is our rock, our strength. He is the giver of wisdom, and He will help us to discern and make right decisions.

His strength is made perfect in our weakness, we just need to walk in it.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I say to whoever is struggling this moment with temptation, “you are not fighting it alone”.

You have Someone who will aid you and help you to overcome it. Cry out for His help. Don’t be ashamed.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-22

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Most people get confused with this verse. The first thing we need to notice is that this scripture is referring to temptation; not trials or hard seasons.

Now, with temptation, what is it that He says that He is faithful to do?

He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able (to bear or overcome). He will give us a way out; a way to escape it.

The bottom line is that we need to be careful to pay attention and focus. We take action and choose His way out.

Many temptations will come to a believer. And believe me, our hearts will desire those things at times, even those things we know can hurt us or those we love.

Our emotions will pull on us and we will have to fight to push them down and say no to things we may love and enjoy doing.

The only way we beat it is to take the way out that God gives us.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can get through it. How badly we want to be able to escape it is the big question. We have to want the escape.

If we are sincerely looking for a way out, God will be faithful in helping us get out and escape it.

We have no excuse if we are giving in to temptation today. If we are falling into the things we know are not good for us, it’s our own fault.

With God’s willingness to help us through, it should not overtake us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-18

Psalm 109:26 (NKJV) 26 Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy…

Temptation comes in many different ways and sometimes dealing with it can be very difficult.

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.

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

How do we beat it?

We have to acknowledge that we are being tempted and admit that we have trouble with whatever it is that is tempting us.

The next step is to know that if something keeps tempting us, and we can’t overcome it, then we need to recognize that a part of us likes whatever it is, even though we know it’s wrong or not good for us. We have to fix that part of us.

How?

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!

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 and gave it a home in us. For that reason, we can’t expect it to simply go away now.

We need to throw out what we allowed in and then lock up that door tight.

When it comes to cleaning out or getting rid of addictions there is a spiritual deliverance that needs to take place in order for us to get completely free.

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 personal and different for each person. It’s between us and God.

When we are serious about getting free from addictions, God is faithful to deliver us.

Dear God in Heaven,

Today I am struggling with the temptation of ………….. 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.

I ask You to help me be bold and say NO when I am tempted. Please give me the wisdom to clean up the atmosphere around me, that I may remain free from this for the rest of my days.

Thank you, Lord. Amen.
