How to Beat Temptation

THANK YOU PASTOR ALAN FOR A GREAT GUEST POST!

Do you have one thing in your life that you consistently struggle with? Maybe you’ve smoked for  years and you really want to quit, or you struggle with anger and have pushed a lot of people away.  For me, I’ve always had a tough time making exercise part of my life. I’ll go through seasons of fitness and then Christmas comes along, which means family, fun, and lots of food. "So long, abs.  I’ll see you on the other side of this pumpkin pie." The Bible tells us to honor God with our bodies. That’s pretty clear—filling it with donuts (which I love) and sitting on the couch doesn’t honor God because it’s hurting me.  So, this year I made a change. I asked one of my friends to go to the gym with me four times a week.  We both have families, so we have to get up crazy early to work out. But you know something?  God has honored my commitment. That time at the gym is one of my favorite parts of the day  because I have a friend who not only encourages me to be fit, but also encourages me in my  journey with God.  I don’t know what you’re facing right now, but be encouraged by this truth: God never intended  you to fight temptation alone. You aren’t designed to live life alone, so going solo on beating your  addiction or overcoming your negative habits just won’t work. God designed you to depend on Him  and to depend on other people. It’s incredible how much we can learn about God when we live in  community.   My prayer for you this week is that God would give you courage and boldness to have a conversation  with someone about your temptation, so you can begin the journey toward freedom in Christ.

Purpose in the Prayer List; Printed in the Paper

Have you ever wondered what you can do to please God?  

If so, here is a simple yet very powerful way to do exactly that!

We know that we are to pray, right?  And all who are Christians, new and mature, young and old alike are aware of the Great Commission.

Next time you are reading a newspaper, or buy one deliberately for this purpose; go to the section where they list everyone who has been arrested.

Circle or highlight their names.

Now sit down, and begin to pray for each of these people.

You already know what the need is.  There is no question these folks really need prayer.  You have a name to pray for.

Don't forget to pray for the police officers, too!

I Timothy 2:1 
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers and giving of thanks be made for all....

Ephesians 6:17-18

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

Colossians 4:2

Continue earnestly in prayer.... 

Fill out the Prayer Request form to the upper left and we will be privileged to prayer for you, too!

We ask that you also pray for us as we continue the work of the ministry that God has tasked us with, changing lives one at time to the increase of the Kingdom, to building the Body in Love, to equipping the saints and building each other up in our most holy faith - ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER
