Overcoming Sin in the Face of Temptations

Judges 16: 16-20 16  And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him,  so  that his soul was vexed to death,  17  that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I  have been  a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any  other  man.” 18  When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.  19  Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head.

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.’ When you accept Jesus as lord in your life, then you need to make a conscious effort to shun everything that is negative.

We need to put on the armor of Christ as we prepare ourselves for the spiritual war that we face daily. We need some spiritual growth.

The truths of this world become clear to you and you gain divine wisdom. You receive the Holy Spirit, joy and peace into your heart because of the love of God you are experiencing in your life. But Satan tempts us every minute of our lives so that we \may fall from God´s grace and if we allow ourselves to fall again from this state of knowledge of the truth and surrender our lives back to Him, the Devil will...
