ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT messages we can take from the biblical account of temptation of Jesus, is important of knowing God’s word and put it to use when temptation comes knocking at your doors.
Jesus had spent His entire life learning and internalizing the word of God, and when the Spirit led Him into the wilderness, He was able to answer each one of them with; “It is written…”He had studied and meditated for so long on truths of God’s word.
Even in the best of our lives, we can be tempted physically, mentally and emotionally. The best way to fight these temptations is to memories scriptures and has it ready when temptations present themselves.
Memorize verses such as, “Flee also youthful lists; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” That way, when you are tempted by lust, the Holy Spirit will bring to your mind those verses that you have committed to memory, and H e will remind you of the truth so that you can flee.
