Victory over temptation is not freedom from temptation. It is - TopicsExpress



          

Victory over temptation is not freedom from temptation. It is being able to stand firm and not give a foothold to the temptation, and that ability comes from the strength of the one who lives within us. The enemy wants us to believe the opposite. He wants us to believe that if we are tempted then we are shameful, and have already lost the battle. And if we believe that, its inevitable that we will give in. One of the reasons the messiah came as a man was so he could understand our state, our feelings and our temptations. He had no sin, yet he was tempted. He overcame it, and through his victory we can also have victory who are in Him. So dont believe that you are a failure or that you are shameful when you are tempted, because the joy of the victory cannot exist without the battle.
