Temptation..temptation.

Do not think that temptation will not come your way as you continue your walk with God. A friend once told me the road to heaven is surrounded by many devils tempting you to turn your way around.

The devils will ask you to stop by one of their booth giving out free gifts to slow your pace down. But, don't get me wrong, don't start thinking that the lies or deceptions of the enemis are funny or games to play with.

I know you've heard of this: if you play with fire, you are going to get yourself burned.

Look at 1 John 4: "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God...You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (v.2-4)

Love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. Know this, that when other things have passed away, but the love of God will always guide your spirit.

His Spirit that lives in us knows who He is. Stop giving in to your temptation. Ask God for boldness and a pure heart. Remember that His Spirit lives in you. Do not be afraid. Do not be confused by the lies of the enemies. God wants us to be purified and free from sin. Do not give in easily, ask God for His help even to the point of drawing your last breath.
