When you’re being tempted, do you just stay where you are and wait until it walks away? Every human being is tempted—no one can deny it. Temptation is a strong weapon of Satan, used by him to keep us away from God. Being tempted is not a sin, but giving into temptation is. It comes after us every day.
People usually stay and hope that temptation will walk away. That’s definitely a wrong move. Temptation doesn’t walk away from anybody. It is designed to hunt us. But we have the capacity and freedom to walk away from it. When temptation comes, don’t just stay and wait—walk away, instead! Pray, then walk away, and you can be victorious! —Teffi, Philippines

I have found the best way to get away from temptation is to pray to God, put on your armour of god’s teachings and God’s word & you will be strong enough to chase the devil away! I was lost in Addiction and the devil continously trys to take me backwards, just last nite I had a dream. It didn’t make me weak, it made me stronger to be with God. PRAY for God’s help whenever your in doubt!
