My grandfather used to make a wonderful analogy about temptation. He told me that sinful thoughts were like a bird that lands on your head. You can't stop him from landing there. But you CAN stop him from building a nest. It's the same with temptation. You can't stop temptation from coming your way. It's all around you. It's a fact of life. But you can stop yourself from giving in to it so that You can stop yourself from sinning. Philippians 2:5
How? By keeping your focus on The Messiah⌠by studying His teachings and mimicking His actions⌠by making sure you know the difference between good and evil⌠by avoiding those situations where you know you will be tempted⌠by staying in constant contact with Righteous brethen through prayer and some sort of accountability!! Jus by emulating The Messiah and battling satanâs lies with the Word of YAH⌠and allowing the voice of the ruach to be stronger in you than the confusion of the world around you. This is when your wants become HIS wants.. 1 Corinthians 10:13
