I want to share some verses on Temptation. Satan sends us so much temptation. Especially temptations that he knows we could fall for easily. But lets remember....God is watching. He does not want us to be tempted, so we need to ask for God's strength when we feel Satan tempting us.
-Luke 4:8- And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
-1 Corinthians 10:13- There hath no temptation taken but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to to 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.
-Ephesians 6: 10-12- Finally brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
-James 1:2- Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
-2 Peter 2:9- The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to preserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished...
-Proverbs 1:10- My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
-Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
-Luke 22:40- And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
We need to ask God every morning before we start our day for Him to help us fight off any temptations Satan sends our way. Remember, with God ALL thing are possible!!!
God Bless!!

Having Faith in God During the Toughest Times
Wow I have not posted in forever. :( Lately I have thought about faith. Faith in God. Faith in tough times when I don't understand what God is doing in my life. Why would God put me through these trials I am having for nothing? We can find His wonderful answers to those questions in His Word.
Here is a verse that makes us think: "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." Isaiah 7:9 What God is telling us in this verse is that when we stand firm in the faith God gives us, we can stand through any trial that comes our way.
Jesus says this: "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you." Matthew 17:20 When anyone has little faith in God, nothing will happen. We need to have so much faith in God, that people will see it in us. All of us can be a light to the world by expressing our faith in God. And in turn, when we have a mountain (trail) in front of us we can say to that mountain "move over there," because we have so much faith from God.
Many times we are tested by God. Our Father only puts us through trails because it makes our faith grow stronger in Him. Abraham was an excellent example of this. Genesis 12:10 says, "Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe." Why would God strike famine to the land He just called it Abram? Because it was a test of Abram's faith, and guess what....Abram passes. Many believers of God immediately encounter many obstacles. The next time you come across such a test, trust God, don't question or blame God for the tests He gives us. TRUST HIM!
I gave three good verses to remember. Look up the word faith in your Bible. You will have a new verse for everyday!
Have a Wonderful Day!!
