SteemChurch: Overcoming all obstacles

You can get away with temptation, because it will not be greater than our strength.

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you that is not human; but God is faithful that will not let you be tempted beyond what you can resist, but will give with the temptation the way out, so that you can endure "

1 John 4: 4 "You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."

Romans 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace."

God knows well our temptations and sufferings, because He also suffered, although He did not yield.

Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in all things according to our likeness, but without sin."

Hebrews 2:18 "For as He Himself suffered by being tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted."

Peter 2: 9 "The Lord knows how to deliver the godly from temptation."

How to face temptation

1 Corinthians 10:12 "So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."

1 Peter 5: 8,9 "Be sober and watch, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom he resists firm in the faith."

James 4: 7 "Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you".

James 1: 13,14 "When anyone is tempted, do not say that he is tempted by God, because God can not be tempted by evil, nor tempt anyone, but each one is tempted when he is attracted by his own lust. and seduced. "

2 Timothy 2:22 "Flee also from the youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who from a pure heart call on the Lord."

Source

1 Peter 2:11 "Beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, that you abstain from the fleshly desires that war against the soul."

The solution to temptation.

Proverbs 28:13 "He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and departs, will obtain mercy."

Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation, the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Hebrews 4:16 "Let us then go boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace for timely help."

It will bring blessings if we do not give in and resist it.

James 1: 2,3 "My brethren, count it all joy when you find yourself in various trials, knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience."

1 Peter 1: 6,7 "In which you rejoice even if for a little while, if need be, you must be afflicted in various trials, that your faith may be tested, much more precious than gold, which although perishable, it is tested with fire, be found in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is manifested. "

James 1:12 "Blessed is the man who endures temptation because when he has withstood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

LIVE APPLICATION

Only if we let the temptation manage to dominate our mind and take control of life, we get to sin. We can all face temptation and overcome it in Christ. The Word overcomes temptation. When Christ was tempted by Satan, he quoted the Word saying "It is written" and Satan had to flee, before him who, like us, was tempted in everything but there was no sin. It is necessary that the Word be in our mind, we must read, meditate and memorize it, so that the darts of the evil one have no effect on us.

OVERCOMES CONCERNS

Do not be in worry about anything in life.

Matthew 6: 25: 23,34 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about life, about what you will eat or about what you will drink, nor about your body, which you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than the dress? So do not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will bring your eagerness. Sufficient for each day is its own evil. "

Luke 12: 22,30 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, which you will eat, nor about the body, which you will wear.
Because all these things seek the people of the world, but your Father knows that you need these things. "

Free the mind of anxiety.

Philippians 4: 6-8 "Be anxious for nothing, but let your requests be made known to God in all prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

For the rest, brothers, everything that is true, everything honest, everything just, everything pure, everything kind, if there is any virtue, if something worthy of praise, in this think ".

God takes care of every need.

Philippians 4:19 "Therefore my God will supply all that you lack according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

LIVE APPLICATION

The eagerness and the excessive preoccupation remove the eyes of the one who supplies all needs. We have to be grateful with what little and God will give us more. The disciples of Christ once worried and feared to see the huge storm they had over them. By fixing their eyes on their surroundings and forgetting that Jesus was with them, their faith diminished. Sometimes the same can happen to us, if we only see the circumstances and not what God says of their care, worries and eagerness will drown the faith.

It does not come from God.

The fruits of being with God are love and peace.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you, I do not give it to you as the world gives it to you. Not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid".

His presence takes away our fear

Love is the solution against fear.

1 John 4: 8 "In love there is no fear, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear carries with it punishment. Where the one who fears has not been perfected in love. "

Talk too much

THE DISEASE OVERCOMES

God's will is to always heal us.

3 John 2 "Beloved, I desire that you be prospered in all things, and be healthy, just as your soul prospers."

Exodus 15:26 "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD, your God, and do the rest before his eyes, and give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, no disease from which I sent to the Egyptians will send you to you, because I am the LORD your healer. "
God already prepared healing for our body and soul, through the sacrifice of Christ. We need to believe and seal in our hearts that in the same way that God did miracles, and that Christ healed, even now you have an answer to any disease.

The solution is to love.

Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you."

John 15:12 "This is my command: that you love one another as I have loved you."

1 John 4: 20,21 "If anyone says: I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And we have this commandment from Him: He who loves God also loves his brother. "

The solution is to forgive.

Ephesians 4:32 "But be kind to one another, merciful, forgiving one another as God also forgave you in Christ."

Reflection

We can be sure that nothing can separate us from the love of God if we are in Christ. God, in his love for us, has already given the solution, the way out in order to be victorious of any problem or difficulty that we find ourselves with. His Word is a great treasure, because in it there are great promises for any Christian who creates them, and with them, we have the weapon that will destroy the "giants" of our life.

Do not let time pass, the days we live are difficult and we have to drop any weight that hinders us on the path that leads us to salvation, which is Christ, and remain firm to the goal, living from victory to victory, life abundant that God promised us.
