Never Think That God Is Tempting You...

NO TEMPTATION HAS SEIZED YOU EXCEPT 
WHAT IS COMMON TO MAN. AND GOD IS 
FAITHFUL; HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED
BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN BEAR. BUT WHEN
YOU ARE TEMPTED, HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE A
WAY OUT SO THAT YOU CAN STAND UP UNDER
IT. 
    ( 1 Corinthians 10:13 *NIV )

Dear Brethren,
Now as you know this World is filled with sinful desires.  
Temptations are everywhere, for you can find them on 
Television, in the Movies, or even on the Internet as well!

Now this isn't something new for even our Savior Jesus Christ 
even faced temptation on this Earth as well!  That is written in
the Book of Luke, ( 4:1-13.)  Therefore when you 
find yourself being tempted, remember who the great
tempter is and; BE SELF-CONTROLLED AND ALERT. 
YOUR ENEMY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A 
ROARING LION LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVOUR.
                                            ( 1 PETER 5:8 ) 

Also never think that God is tempting you, for it is written;
WHEN TEMPTED, NO ONE SHOULD SAY, "GOD IS
TEMPTING ME." FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED
BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE TEMPT ANYONE; BUT
EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN, BY HIS OWN EVIL 
DESIRE, HE IS DRAGGED AWAY AND ENTICED.
                                      ( James 1:13-14 )

So, always turn to prayer when you find yourself 
being tempted.  FOR WE DO NOT HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO
CANNOT SYMPATHIZE WITH OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT
WAS IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED AS WE ARE, YET
WITHOUT SIN.  LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY TO
THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN 
MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. 
                                        ( Hebrews 4:15-16 )

Now may; THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BE
WITH YOUR SPIRIT.  Amen.
                                          (Philippians 4:23 )
All My Love & Prayers,
