HOW TO OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS #ExpandYourWorld There is a method behind temptation. First satan tempts Gods people then goes before him to accuse them. Temptation usually is followed by an attack of condemnation which may even lead to spiritual intimidation (physically and spiritually) that can erode your confidence in Christ and this can degenerate to defeat or even captivity to satan. The best thing is to defeat the devil when this is still temptation (at the early stage). Principles of Temptation 1. The source of temptation is demonic powers led by the devil, Jam 1:13. God does not tempt people. 2. There is a reward for overcoming temptation, Jam 1:12. There is a reward for not compromising and living a holy Christian life. 3. The purpose of temptation is to severe your relationship with God and get you to disobey Him. You cannot have fellowship with God while walking in darkness, 1 John 1:6. What is damaged when people fall into sin is relationship. Sin destroys fellowship. No matter what has happened, you can defeat him by repentance and cleansing of the blood and unleashing the words of your testimony, Rev 12:11. The blood of Jesus can be used to defeat the enemy when he attacks and also when you are tempted.
