I pray for the millions who live in constant Sin and Temptation. Help mankind to resist Lucifer and all of his sensory enhancers, let his demons not control our hearts. Let us allow the light of Jesus of Nazareth to defend us against Evil’s powerful enticements.
Temptation is the downfall of man. In a world of lust and sin, greed and despair, people have become comfortable living in sin.
Temptation is the root of Evil, and not fighting sinful temptations in a man’s life will cause his soul to be lost. The bible has a lot of good advice about the battle against temptation and sin.
Luke 11:4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Psalm 95:8
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mark 14:38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Redemption of your sins and evil desires to the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to be forgiven for this normal human behavior. The bible gives us instruction on how to be forgiven for all our worldly desire sin, and the instruction on how to have our sin debt washed away.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Hebrews 9:15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
We as Christians can all rejoice in the knowing that Jesus Christ, and God almighty are but one, and he will return for us all that we might be caught up with him in the sky. All of us who keep the faith can always be happy, even in the face of the worst adversity, because we know that after the worms have eaten my body and my name is forgotten and not spoke by man any longer, My father will return, and renew me, and take me to the promised land he hath prepared for me in Heaven.

Psalm 48:11

Let us all never forget the valuable lessons that are in the Holy Bible. God urges us all to read his word, so that we can grasp his concept of what life should be like. The Holy Bible is like a lamp unto our feet which lights the path that we all must follow. Without the light of the SON to guide you, you will end up on a detour that will take you south of Heaven. My friend Jesus is calling out to you to embrace him, and your very salvation depends upon it, so don’t take chances on dying without knowing the Nazarene named Jesus Christ. Only through him can you be forgiven.
Amen
