How To Fight Temptation!
"I have thought much about Your words
and stored them in my heart so that
they would hold me back from sin."
Psalm 119: 11
Psalm 119:9 says “How can a young man cleanse
his way? By taking heed according to Your Word
which I have hidden in my heart, that I might
not
sin against You.”
Our greatest strategy fighting
temptation is God’s Word in our
heart, wielded by the indwelling
Holy Spirit.
Faith, which keeps us in step with God and hinders
sin in our lives, is fed by Scripture. We must search
out and memorize verses that address sinful habits
and tendencies. Every sinful urge in the human
heart is addressed somewhere in the
Bible.
Find and learn verses that counter our
weaknesses. Some sins are so stubborn
we need support at many levels, but our
primary tool is memorized and applied
Scripture.
What area of weakness are you facing?
Search God’s Word and find the verse
or passages that meet your need and
commit it to memory. Let the Holy Spirit
use His Word to help you
overcome
your besetting sin.
"God’s Word hidden in your heart
is the sword of the Spirit, available
for battle at any time against sin
and Satan."
