Ezekiel 35:1-36:38, James 1:1-18, Psalm 116:1-19, Proverbs 27:23-27
“Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am tempted by God’ [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion). Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death. Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters.” James 1:13-16
And that’s the process my friends. The spiral down begins in our thoughts, the unwholesome desires that crop up there. It’s crucial to bring those thoughts under control. If not, the progression will continue until we find ourselves in a place we don’t want to be. Remember, the enemy of our souls came to steal, kill and destroy. He will take as much ground as we are willing to give. If you have found yourself falling in an area, reach out, pray, make yourself accountable, whatever it takes to prevent yourself from going any further.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask You to keep me free from deception. I accept responsibility for my actions and I pray You will help me to fight against falling into things that oppose You. Love You Lord. It’s in Your name I pray. Amen.
