Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
James 1:12-16
I've noticed the past week that "temptation" is very heavy in everyone I encounter. Last night was no exception, and all I could do was look at folks in awe and pray my butt off for them!
I see people letting temptation get the best of them, and my heart hurts for them. It makes me sad.
I won't sit here and tell you temptation has never gotten ahold of me, but at this point in my life I can see it and I steer clear and yearn to help others do the same.
The Lord tells us, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world 1 John 4:1"
We are all surrounded with temptations and evil spirits on a daily basis and I cannot stress enough to folks now IS a time to test the spirits and keep yourselves in check when it comes to temptations.
Today-open your eyes to temptation and make sure your allowing your "FATHER" to lead you and not someone or something else!
Have a peaceful day in Jesus Christ my friends!
