Topic: Understanding Temptation
Text: James 1:13
So many people believe that when they are facing a hard time, it is God tempting them. God does not tempt.

Source of temptation

God knows when you are being tempted. You have an enemy every time God wants to bless you. He will come in form of accusation and seek for permission from God. He permits the devil so that He can prove your love for Him and shame the devil. God has confidence in your and believes that you won’t disappoint him.

Matthew 7:9-11 when believers are going through a difficult situation, they say that God is tempting them. Some things are demonic, that’s why you should understand the act of warfare. If things are not going according to plan, you pray.
So many Christians are suffering today because they don’t have the understanding of who they are in Christ.

Understand that the moment Jerv29:11 you are born again; you are a child of God. Therefore, exhibit that confidence of a son.

God knows you for you. He will not judge you by another person’s way of life.
• In Christ Jesus, you have the right to ask for things according to His will. 1 John 5:13-15

If you are asking God for a god-fearing/angelic partner, you must be one, else you don’t get it.

God only answers prayers when it is according to His will. His will is His word. God at times does some things circumstantially; it does not mean that He will do it always/again
• In Christ Jesus, you have power over the devil and his entire armies. 1 John 4:4. You are stronger than the devil!

• In Christ Jesus, you are not alone. Legions of angels are watching over you. It is important you pay attention to the promise of God in John 14:18.

 
You are God’s child. Don’t be quick to accept the negative as God’s will for you.

Summary

Beloved it is important you understand the act of warfare properly so that the devil will not rob you and put a picture in your mind to make you think that God is the one tempting you. Goes does not tempt his children.
Don’t accept the negative as God’s will.
