Topic:
OVERCOMING
TEMPTATION
Just as we are powerless to stop birds from flying over our heads but
have the ability to stop them from nesting in our hair, so also can we
not stop evil thoughts from passing through our minds. However, we
do not need to accept them or allow them to create a stronghold in our
thoughts and imaginations.
The consequence of yielding to temptation can often be very
disastrous and lead to serious regrets later on in our lives. There are
huge benefits of resisting temptations, it , births spiritual and physical
victory.

5. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may
obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
