James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

Luke 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

Temptations DO NOT come from God but, Satan. God doesn’t place temptations in front of us as a test for us to pass. Temptations are attacks on our mind from Satan to make us go against God‘s Word. When we commit a sin, we are showing an outward display of a lost temptation battle that first took place in the mind.  Everyone is tempted in different areas. Some are tempted in the areas of fornication, homosexuality, drug addiction, etc. A righteous lifestyle does not prevent a person from being tempted. As we see in Luke 4:2 Jesus, the most righteous person on earth, was tempted by the devil.

God will not allow us to be tempted by Satan, more than we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). So whatever temptation you are facing, know that God has already given you the victory to overcome that temptation.

Be Victorious!
