James 1:13 says that God will never tempt us to evil. Verse 14-15 says, “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” James then wrote the key. Verse 16 says, “Do not be deceived…”

The enemy’s only pseudo power is through deception. Remember that God is All Powerful. 

That means, without exception, He alone has power. He has set His resurrection power within us. Ephesians 1:18 says, “And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”

The only time His power is not active is when we step out in our flesh. At that point we are walking independent of God. That is exactly why the enemy lures us with his temptations. To get us to act in our fleshly will and ways.
