1. God uses unexpected tools like troubles, temptations, and choices to teach us and draw us closer to Him.
2. Temptations are designed to give us opportunities to choose obedience to God over giving in to temptation. While God does not tempt us, He can use Satan's temptations for good in our lives.
3. Staying focused on God's truths and seeking support from other believers can help us resist temptation and instead find the strength to obey God during difficult times.
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
After being justified as a righteous by the grace of God and and one's faith. Sanctified living is necessary for growth, fulfilling one's own purpose in life and pleasing God.

Do you ever wonder where a specific thought is coming from? Is that “your” thought or is Satan planting his thoughts in your head?
Many of our incoming counseling clients have self-obsessed on this question and if they are in our office, it’s because they are not winning on the battlefield of the mind. Many are indeed tormented and are frustrated because they cannot suppress or eliminate these thoughts. Some are waging warfare but are getting worn out.
What is the problem? This slide deck looks at that issue.
