October 4, 2021 at 6:21 amIt is a sharp fight with which I wage, but I know You are there with me in the battle. How often I have hesitated or turned and went the opposite direction of Your will. Jesus who was tempted but had overcome, is there, my compass,my helper, there is victory in Love. Through Your Power I am baptized with Your defense, my wounds drive me nearer and make me seek You, The Beloved Physician even more. I pray that I do not yield to temptation but claim victory and produce fruit that shows my heart has changed for the benefit of all good. Prepared is the way, humbled in this space and time. In the Precious Name of Jesus I pray unceasing.

October 4, 2021 at 6:33 amOf all the evils incident to man, there is none from which an escape is so difficult and desirable as from temptations. All escape imports some precedent danger — the difficulty of getting through it, and a final deliverance from it: so in this business of temptation, the danger threatening is damnation; the difficulty of escaping it is due partly to the importunity of the evil one, and partly to an inbred inclination to sin heightened by custom, and inflamed by circumstances. Therefore nothing less than a Being infinitely wise can sound all the depths, and outreach all the intrigues of this tempting spirit; and nothing but a Being of infinite power can support the weaknesses and supply the defects of a poor mortal engaged against him. Now how God does this we shall now inquire. If the force of the temptation be chiefly from the importunities of the evil spirit, God often puts an issue to the temptation, BY REBUKING AND COMMANDING DOWN THE TEMPTER HIMSELF. For although he acts the part of an enemy, yet he does the work of a servant. He is in a chain and that chain is in God’s hand. Certain it is that God has put it into the power of no created being to make a man do an ill thing against his will; yet though Satan cannot compel to sin, yet he can follow a man with vehement and continual solicitations to it. Though none of his fiery darts should kill, yet it is next to death to be always warding off deadly blows. And being brought thereby to the very brink of destruction, God is then pleased to step in and command the tempter to hold his peace, or his hand, and so takes him off before he is able to fasten. Matt 6:13
