Today's Inspiration ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿค๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿšฌ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ”ฎ
Resist Remove Refrain 

Temptation comes in many different forms. Temptation is a strong desire to do something unwise. 

James 1:12 (NKJV)
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

To overcome temptation, our love for God must be greater than our love for ourselves. 

Temptation is personalized to our own desires. 
Desires give birth to sin and full grown sin brings death. 

James 1:13-15 (NKJV)
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Resist, Remove and Refrain!

Resist the devil and he will flee. 
Remove yourself from the temptation. 
Refrain from opening the door to sin. 

Resist! James 4:7 (NKJV)
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Remove! 2 Timothy 2:22 (NLT)
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

Refrain! Romans 6:13 (NLT)
Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.

Do not allow sin to become fully grown in your life.  Resist, Remove, and Refrain and you will receive the crown of life. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves ๐Ÿ’ž you!
