Tempted!

After Jesus was baptized, he went into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights.  In the wilderness He was tempted by the devil.

This is often the case when Christ followers are baptized or choose to serve the Lord.  The devil attacks them at their most vulnerable.

We need to be cautious and vigilant.  The devil wants to lure us away from the LORD.

The only way to guard ourselves is to know GOD and to know Jesus.  So when we take up our cross and follow Jesus, we need to spend time in earnest prayer.  We need to spend time reading the Word of GOD and getting to know the nature and character of GOD.

We need to spend time with like-minded Christ followers in groups and talk about our faith.  We also need to know that when we are tempted, our FATHER is Mighty and can save if we will just call on HIM.

We need to attend a Church and worship GOD and pray together.  And when in doubt, we need to fall on our knees and ask GOD to help us. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for protecting me at all times.  I know FATHER that YOU are always with me.  I know FATHER that you will never leave me nor forsake me.  Help me FATHER to always turn to you in times of trouble and temptation.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!
