How to triumph over temptations?

"Open the floodgates of Heaven, Let it rain"

How do u trust God totally? What is that we must do right before can open the floodgates of Heaven?

--------

Only when you are not alive, then you will not be tempted. Everyone of us go through temptation.

Who is the source of all temptations?

The moment someone tells you not to touch, you will be tempted to touch. Examine our lives.

The person tempting us is ourselves. How do you tempt yourself?

James 1:13

"When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."


Trials and temptations are two different things.

Temptation is the one tat will continuously sabotage you to to accomplish what God wants to do in your lives.

Temptation comes from within. Trials comes from external pressure.

How you respond to your "trials" situation determine how u are going to grow in the Lord.

When we face temptation we usually want to find a way of temptations. But sometimes we do not want to find a way out, because it might look good, feel good.

The devil wants to come and steal, kill and destroy.

Falling prey to temptation involves a series of steps:

When you look, you assess and see is fine.. But only when you start desiring.

Temptation is internal pressure.

We must stop doing the blaming game.

If you do not identify with it, you cannot deal with it.

1. Do not go near temptation
2. Flee from it

Who is the source of triumph; God
