How do you fight temptation? Prepare yourself before the temptation occurs. It's inevitable, as soon as you leave your house every day your going to be tempted by something or someone so you have to prepare your mind before leaving your home. Prepare yourself by studying the word and mediating on scriptures that focus on temptation, spending time in prayer and worship to keep your heart softened and fixed towards Jesus. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak. The less you build your spirit up through studying the word and prayer the more your flesh is going to be in control. In Matthew Ch. 4 Jesus was tempted 3 different times, each time he responded back to Satan with a scripture to overcome the temptation. If you don't have the word in you how can you fight temptation back? We will be tempted to sin as long as we are in the flesh but know through the power of the Holy Spirit you don't have to continue to be defeated. Rely on his strength to see you through. Love you all whoever is reading this. #praying4you... Hebrew 4.15-16.nlt This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
