Power over Temptation

Matthew 26:41 

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

1 Corinthians 10:11-13 

11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. 

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 

13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Philippians 1:6 

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:10 

So that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

1 Thessalonians 3:2-3 

2 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 

3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them.

James 4:7-10 

7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 

9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 

10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

2 Peter 2:9 

if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.

1 John 4:4 

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
