Confess And Pray For One Another
Happy Monday fellow Steemians!!!
The key to winning temptation is not to fight it. Fighting temptation isn’t scriptural. The Bible never tells us to fight temptation. It always tells us to FLEE it! We’re told to resist the devil, but we’re told to flee temptation. And again, we’re able to flee it by capturing the tempting thought and giving it immediately to Christ.
The power of Jesus Christ is able to transform you. His power can actually renew your mind and make you holy. Therefore, it simply makes good sense to surrender to the power and authority of the Holy Spirit. You can’t control what temptations pop into your mind, but you can control how you react—what you do with the temptation.
No one is exempt from temptation, but God can empower you to overcome! You can win the battle. Are you willing to become accountable to other Christians? Will you allow the Holy Spirit to have complete control of your life?
The Bible Says,
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
New International Version
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
- James 5:16
New International Version
Not all of us are ready to share our struggles to other people. But you know what, when we confess our struggles to someone we trust, we also open a new opportunity to have a prayer partner. Tell God that you know you can’t be victorious in the battle of temptation without his help. Right now would be a great time to surrender ALL to him. Pledge to make yourself accountable to other Christians and to give his Holy Spirit supreme control in your life. Be blessed and keep on smiling whenever and wherever you are. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all and again thank you for your time.:-)
