“Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT)
If we put our strength and faith in God, we can defeat temptation. We cannot do it alone.
These practical steps tell us how to keep out of trouble or get out of it.
Refocusing our attention keeps the thought from becoming bigger in our mind. It is so true that if you focus on something in either a positive of negative way, it will affect you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. And get away from the situation if needs be.
Reveal your struggles. Satan tries to convince us we are alone, when we are not. God has given us spiritual brothers and sisters to share with. Confess and pray, and struggle through your problem.
Resist the devil with the word of God. As he is the master of lies, don’t try to outsmart him, he’s not stupid, he is however afraid of the word of God. Use it against him, keep memorizing scripture to be prepared.
Realizing our vulnerability admits we are not perfect. When we do, the healing process is begun. And don’t tempt sin, it will bite you if you mess with it.
