PAUL WAS TEMPTED
I realize that I don’t have what it takes.
I can will it, but I can’t do it.
I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway.
My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions.
Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.
21-23 It happens so regularly that it’s predictable.
The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up.
I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight.
Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.
24 I’ve tried everything and nothing helps.
I’m at the end of my rope.
Is there no one who can do anything for me?
Isn’t that the real question?
JESUS WAS ALSO TEMPTED BUT NEVER SINNED
1. BE READY
Anticipate temptation, it is coming.
Mind, surroundings, feelings.... etc.
It is not a sin to be tempted, and it won’t go away as long as we live.
It is what you do with temptation that matters.
The devil is after you, and if he can’t get you to sin, he will intimidate you with the thought that you might.
There are seasons in life when you are more tempted.
Tired, fatigued, bored, after a big success, surrounded by certain people.
BE READY, anticipate, be ready.
Jesus was tempted right after the Spirit came over him when being baptized.
1 BE READY
Then… after what?
2. BE RESPONSIBLE
Own it!
What for?
Don’t blame the devil, don’t blame other people.
Be responsible.
It relates to the Israelites being taken to the wilderness...
We live in a society that blames everyone else for their problems.
But the reality is that most of our problems we brought on ourselves.
Tempted… tested...
We just need to accept responsibility.
B LAME
You won’t find freedom until you admit your fault and stop blaming everything else.
Some even blame God!
Questions Jesus’ identity.
God wants you to be happy but he wants you to be holy.
Jesus is hungry
Follow truth not your feelings, that’s where true happiness is found.
Making excuses is so OLD.... Adam and Eve?
1 BE READY
2 BE RESPONSIBLE
3. BE BOLD AND PRAY
Ask God for help, he is always available.
He will not be surprised, He knows everything about you but he wants you to admit it!
Sometimes we don’t ask for help because we don’t want his help.
Other times we don’t want his method, and other times we feel embarrassed.
But God never gets tired of helping you if you cal upon his name with an honest heart!
Jesus went through the very same things you and I go through.
And he is the only one that can help us!
We don’t need will power, we need God’s power to overcome temptation.
Call upon HIS NAME!
Not a fancy prayer, just call upon his name!
PSalm 9
1 BE READY
2 BE RESPONSIBLE
3 BE BOLD AND PRAY
4. BE ACCOUNTABLE
Admit it to somebody close, a CHRISTIAN!
Someone you trust who will pray for you and with you!
You have to be intentional about this.
TWO WOLVES illustration.
We don’t share our problems because we are insecure.
We all have the same temptations....
A PREREQUISITE FOR HEALING IS CONFESSION...
Before you can be healed you have to confess to others.
“To each other”.
What you UNCOVER, God covers.
What you COVER, God Uncovers (no protection).
Healing begins with confession.
Believer’s and unbeliever’s problems are the same… humanity!
The difference is a believer has access to a greater power in times of need!
WHEN YOU CONFESS...
-It helps you gain control
-It relieves inner stress
-Support and vulnerability
God gives grace to the humble!
1 BE READY
2 BE RESPONSIBLE
3 BE BOLD AND PRAY
4 BE ACCOUNTABLE
5. BE SMART
Avoid tempting situations.... it is common sense.
If you play with fire?
IT IS NOT HOW FAR CAN I GO BEFORE I SIN, IT IS
How far away can I keep from temptation.
Proverb
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…
1 BE READY
2 BE RESPONSIBLE
3 BE BOLD AND PRAY
4 BE ACCOUNTABLE
5 BE SMART
6. BE FILLED
You must make deposits of God’s word in your soul daily.
