Here’s what I am learning: It’s easier to avoid temptation than it is to fight sin. If possible, we should avoid being in places where we know we will be tempted. But sometimes, temptation seems to come out of nowhere. What do we do? Main Points:1. We must deal with the temptation immediately. Don’t wait. Don’t linger. Don’t think about it. Don’t entertain the possibility. The longer you wait, the weaker you become.2. This means that we take immediate action against those thoughts that would lead us away from God’s will for our lives. We cannot give place to thoughts of temptation. Let me say it again. The longer you wait, the weaker you become. We must become fierce in the battle against temptation. 3. Maybe as you listen to this episode, you acknowledge you’ve done a poor job in the battle against temptation. I get it. I’ve been there too. So, where can we find strength? We find strength in three things: God’s Word, God’s presence, and in community with other believers. Today’s Scripture Verses:2 Corinthians 10:5 - “…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”2 Peter 1:3 - “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him…”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
