Where, then, do these temptations come from?

• James 1:13-14: “For God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.” We see in James 1:14, that temptation originates in us as well. We are tempted when we are “carried away and enticed by our own lust.

How can I overcome temptation?

• 1 Cor 10:13: says, “No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man.”

• Hebrews 4:15: says, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin”.

How then do we resist the temptations?

• Matthew 4:1-11 – Jesus shows the way – “Word of God and Holy Spirit”

• Romans 12:1-2 – Renew your mind – “remember you are Sons of God”

• Luke 11:4 – pray lead me not into temptation – “Prayer works”

• Ephesians 6:17-18 – Use your weapon of warfare – “The Word of God”

• Colossians 3:2-3 – Set your mind of the things of God – “Make it spiritual”

• Proverbs 4:14-15 – Turn away with determination – “make up your mind”

• Matthew 5:29-30 – Take drastic action – “it’s a matter of life or death”

• Gal 5:16-26 – Live and be led by the Holy Spirit – “change occurs through time”
