  • Temptation. No one lives without experiencing it, not even Jesus Himself. But Jesus is the only one who never gave in to it. Though He was God, Jesus was also a man, and He felt the draw of temptation just as we do. Pastor Greg uses Jesus' temptation in Luke 4 as a model of how we should react when tempted. Greg explains several aspects of temptation, including what our primary weapon against it should be.

    Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then the desired when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and when sin It is full grown brings forth death.We grow up to maturity in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, from children to young men and become fathers.

    I mean this in all respect, We will all fall into sin we can resist and fight however you will have a moment when you sin because that’s in our nature we are formed in sin and shaped in iniquity. There is hope yes and Jesus will forgive us yes!! That is the truth however we must not pretend because we live this life that we won’t ever fail again, this is a constant battle for a child of God you must resist your old self everyday and your old ways. Be careful of what you put in front of your eyes and what comes through your ears, keep fighting but don’t beat yourself up “when” you fall get back up and keep fighting.

    What is the purpose of temptation?
    No doubt ...to get you to sin .
    What is God's definition for SIN?
    See 1John 3 : 4
    To many preachers are prepared to break their neck to avoid telling their audience
    the true definition for sins.
    See why it is times to stop that behaviour.
    Ecclesiastes 12: 13, 14
    James 2 : 10 - 12

    Pastor, so many times the Lord has gone before me and neutralized the situation. Probably, 45 years ago the Lord said "you will have a ministry to Recalcitrants" I envision when HE leaves the 99 and goes after the 1...I am one of the ones that gets to go with HIM...full and running over with AGAPE LOVE. When they turn...they follow hard and committed after HIM...watch...

    Interesting comments I made. Antioch is not interested in ministering @ Hospitality House and neither is Brother Chan...wishful thinking on my part...good thing I came and have spent almost two years here now. People come and go and come back and say.. Are you still here?
    It's really time for me to go...actually past time...I am working on it from this end...soon and very soon. The Brother is not going to change as long as I am tethered here. He is embarrassed, ashamed and should be, bless his heart. I was asked/instructed to help him and that is all and it has been done. God is in control and where the Spirit of the LORD is..there is Liberty...i.e. 2 Samuel 7:3...it's going to all turn out great...but not until I am gone...

    FEAR IS THE FIRST TEMPTATION AS ARESULT OF DISOBIEDIENCE. THE SEPARARTION OF THE ONE WHOLE AS A WHOLE. JESUS CHRIST MESSIAH RESISTED ALL THE WORKS OF THE WORLD. THE PAIN WAS AS FIRE IN HIS BODY. THIS MADE HIS SPIRIT AND SPEECH PURE LIGHT.
    I INVITE ANYONE TO RESIST WATER FOR 40 DAYS . THE CREATION AND ALL AROUND YOU WILL BECOME AS FIRE.THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS WORLD IS TO RESISIT ALL IT HAS TO OFFER. THIS INCLUDES THE BODY.

      Just because you trip up at times in your walk doesn’t make you not a Christian. Every day is a battle you’re just trying to be better than yesterday and you always have to repent for your sins daily with God especially if you know what you’re doing is sin! But that doesn’t mean you can continue in sin either. It doesn’t matter if you are a brand new Christian or somebody that has been a Christian for many years, we all fall short in the glory of God. Don’t condemn yourself God wouldn’t even do that but your choices will have ramifications.
      .God wants us to acknowledge our mistakes and sharpen your sword for battle meaning being read the word, pray, have an accountability partner, and be a part of a small bible study group so you
      can have a support system
      In place so you can be bake to others about your struggles! God bless hope this helps someone🙏💪😊
