How do we over come temptation, as Believers ?

[SINNERSAVED]

How do we over come temptation when we are tempted ? we can say that God does not let us be tempted beyond what we can get out of, there is a scripture for that, I read it one time, and so , how do we resist, and what can we do , or what is good advise ?

for many believers today are caught up in many addictions and habits that are against God and the body  or temple we have and we go against the spirit of our temple if we give in to temptation,  and then it conceives Sin,

so you hear many say, I did not mean too, or did not want to , but I did , I could not help my self, or I did not think ?

or I cannot give it up, its got a hold on me,.?

so what do we do , well I am no doctor, or specialist , but what I do know ,and learned through reading about control and the word of God

walk in the spirit of God, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh, for the spirit is willing and the flesh , we all know is weak,

love God with all of your heart mind and soul and strength, first,    place Him first, and then love one another, these are the two commandments

we need to know that our life is but the will ,and mind,   so if you set your mind to something ,you can follow through , and try to over come things not good in life, by reading the scriptures  and being in Gods word is a great start , and understanding the power of the spirit, within you, and the power of Gods word, will also help

we have three powerful wills ,that needs to be dealt with in the flesh , the first is the will to survive your will to be who you are, to be alive,

second it is the will of food , to eat and to live we need food, and thirds , is the sex drive, and so we need to break this up and work with this , by giving our selves into prayer ,and reading of scriptures , praying , and being focus on God, walking in the spirit , and saying no to the evil, and temptations, and to know ,God loves us, and died for us, to bring us out of our bondage and lost state of condemnation

God is a awesome God, and we can break any chains that bind us, and wills if we have God on our side, and if, we are abiding, and obeying God, it helped me , and I think it will help others, blessing to you all, and grace and peace, your mind and will give it all,to the lord, and you will over come the evil one , resist the devil and he will flee

I hope this helps people ,

Satan and his forces can do nothing about our Identity in Christ (Helmet of Salvation), but if they can, they will cloud our perspective (Faith’s Shield) and dull our effectiveness in our ministry of reconciliation. No body loses control to Satan and his forces overnight; it is a gradual process of deception and yielding to their subtle influence.

 

Many of the body of Christ, instead of recognizing that their minds are being peppered by the fiery darts of the enemy, they think the problem is their own fault. “If those foul thoughts are mine, what kind of person am I?” they wonder. So they end up condemning themselves while the enemy continues their attack unchecked.

 

Satan and his forces are created beings, and they do not perfectly know what we are thinking. By observing us they can pretty well tell what we are thinking, but they do not know what we are going to do before we do it. They can put thoughts into our mind, and they will know whether we buy their lie by how we behave.

 

Satan and his forces can try to influence us by planting thoughts in our mind, but they cannot read our thoughts. If we are going to resist Satan and his forces, we must do so outwardly so they can understand us and be put to flight. We cannot expect God to protect us from Satan and his forces influences if we do not take an active part in God’s prepared strategy.

 

When Satan and his forces tempt us through the channel of the lust of the flesh, they will invite us to fulfill our physical needs in ways that are outside the boundary of God’s will for us. Whenever we feel enticed to meet a legitimate physical need by acting independently of God, we are being tempted though the lust of the flesh.

 

The lust of the eyes subtly draws us away from God and eats away at our confidence in God. We see what the world has to offer and we begin to place more credence in our own perspective of life. Fueled by the lust for what we see, we grab for all we can get, believing that we need it and deceived that God wants us to have it. Wrongly assuming that God will withhold nothing good from us, we lustfully claim prosperity.

 

The temptation of the pride of life is intended to destroy our obedience to our ministry of reconciliation by urging us to take charge of our own lives. Whenever we feel that, we do not need God’s help or direction, that we can handle our life, that is the pride of life. Every temptation that Satan and his forces throw at us will challenge one or more of these values.

 

They will watch us to learn where we are most vulnerable and will tempt us in any area that we leave unguarded. Satan and his forces know they can never own us, but if they can deceive us into yielding control of our life to them in some way, they can neutralize our growth and our impact of our ministry of reconciliation.

Galatians 5:16 NKJV I say then: walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Romans 8:5 ESV For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.  For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God'saw;  indeed, it cannot.  Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells any.  Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

So set your mind on allowing Christ to live in you to love and forgive others through you.  Set your mind on sharing the Gospel and keeping your life pure as  good witness to others.  Walk in the Spirit.
