Observe this: <\/p>\n
(1) Temptation comes when you\u2019re alone without support<\/i>. Just as a wolf looks for the sheep that wanders from the safety of the fold, the Enemy rejoices when you neglect Christian fellowship and cut yourself off from other believers. You may think the Lord is always with you, but that doesn\u2019t mean the devil won\u2019t tempt you. The Bible teaches us how to overcome temptation: \u2018A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.\u2019<\/i> (Ecclesiastes\u00a04:12\u00a0NLT) <\/p>\n
We are born, and born again, to walk this journey with others. United we stand, divided we fall is a popular motto. \u2018They all were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.\u2019<\/i> (Act\u00a01:14\u00a0HCSB) Paul writes, \u2018For the body is not one part but many.\u2019 <\/i>(1\u00a0Corinthians\u00a012:14\u00a0NASB) Walking in step with other believers increases your protection against Satan. <\/p>\n
(2) Your greatest weapon in the hour of temptation is knowing God\u2019s Word.<\/i> Jesus repelled Satan\u2019s attacks by quoting it. Satan is rendered powerless when he is confronted by a believer who declares, \u2018It is written!\u2019 You must decide to take a stand, but it\u2019s your stance on God\u2019s Word that makes the Enemy retreat. When Satan approached, Jesus didn\u2019t go looking for a Bible; He quoted the Word He knew by heart. That\u2019s your key to victory. John says, \u2018I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong. God\u2019s Word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.\u2019<\/i> (1\u00a0John\u00a02:14\u00a0NLT) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
