The message for the beloved Children of God is - Tempted !

Good morning, 

The message for the beloved Children of God is - Tempted !

 

The bible tells us that no man can say that he is tempted by God. God has no evil within Him, people are tempted by their own gratification. The bible says, from within the heart of man is the lustful desires, and the lustful thoughts. And this lust seems to be natural to some people, but it is wrong in the sight of God. The bible says, get some understanding, A person may think their own ways are right, not true always. Let us look a little deeper,what is lust? Lust has its focus pleasing on oneself, and it often leads to unwholesome actions to fulfill one's desires with no regard for the consequences. Read Luke 16:15, And he said unto them, You are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The verse is talking about the unclean Spirit that dwell from within man. There is a price to pay for everything that is outside of the will of God. Temptation comes from within the heart and the mind. Read James 1:11-14,For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Heavenly Father, help us to live right by your word. Let us depart from all evil. Let us run a good race, we have the victory in you. We have the power to overcome temptation, by Your Spirit that lives within us (the believers). Let us not be foolish people, in our way of thinking, but be wise by listening to the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
