What to do in times of Temptations? - Part 2 - Please read

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." Matthew 4:2,3

Please remember, the people who come to you and ask you to prove something, they know, you are capable of doing it, otherwise, why will they come to you with that particular point? Don't try to prove to people what you can do. At the right time God will give you the opportunity and the people will know who you are and what are your capabilities. Don't be controlled by the people or your temptations. Discipline your thoughts.

When you are in lack, when you are in trying situations, when you desperately need something, that is the time, when the devil comes to tempt you, to compromise on the word of God, on your standing for God. When you are low, that is the time, when lustful and adulterous thoughts come to you, that is the time when the thoughts of suicide come to you, that is the time you are restless, and want to do something or other, that is the time when you find a shoulder, other than your spouse and end up cheating. When you are low that is the time, when you don't find your family members trustworthy, but your friends who are in wrong company and doing wrong things. This also happens when you are stressed out and exhausted mentally and physically

There is an alarm that goes inside you, but because you are so exhausted and stressed out or in lack that you find compromising is better than taking the stand. At times you want to take the stand but because of your exhaustion and stress you don't have enough strength to resist or fight against your temptations and give in to your temptations. Such times, though strong and having good relationship, yet end up in extra marital affairs, wrong relationship. Such times if you have the word of God inside you, Holy Spirit will be able to give you strength from your spirit through the word of God to resist such thoughts and all kinds of temptations.

If you want to overcome then you will have to fill yourself with the word of God. Only then Holy Spirit can give you supernatural strength through the word of God. The word of God will give you joy and will not allow you to be stressed out in all situations. The joy of the Lord will also not allow you to be stressed and succumb to the temptations.
