Resist All Temptations ~ Part Two

Habakkuk 1:13 says, “You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look upon wickedness…” David beheld Bathsheba. 2 Samuel 11:2. Psalm 101:3 says, “I will set nothing wicked before my eyes…” In Job 31:1 he said that he had made a covenant with his eyes.

What are you reading, watching, and beholding that is contaminating your spirit man? The enemy prowls around. He looks for chinks in our armor. Peter wrote out of experiential knowledge. 1 Peter 5:9 says, “Resist him, steadfast in the faith…”

Every temptation is designed to destroy our faith. James 1:14 says, “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.” Remember Sampson? 

The enemy said, “…Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him…” Judges 16:5. Sampson was unbridled in his lusts. He was drawn away with his own desires and enticed.
