How to ignore and overcome temptation to sin

If you read the Bible on a regular basis, you will have access to God's entire counsel. All you have to do when temptation knocks on your door is draw your weapon, aim, and resist Satan. Satan and his demons constantly tempt us to sin against God.

When he tempts us with fleshly desires, he is pointing to a natural desire and advising us to satisfy it in our own selfish way. Genesis 3:1-24 in the Old Testament Bible explains how Eve fell in to the temptation. We also read about Jesus being tempted by Satan in the New Testament (Matthew 4).

Jesus defeated Satan by quoting God's word. It's simple to handle temptations when you know who you are and what the Bible says. In other words, arm yourself with God's word and ensure that you memorize and understand it.
Despite the fact that Jesus never sinned, he was tempted to do so (4:15 in Hebrews). Take a few moments to reflect on your own personal temptations.
Your past is the one thing you can't change about yourself. Allowing yourself to be overcome by regret for past sins is not a good idea.
Make the most of your previous blunders. Make a conscious effort to avoid repeating your previous errors.
You'll have made progress away from your sinful past even if you relapse.
If you have a sinful past, accept responsibility for your mistakes without feeling guilty. Take a conscious effort to avoid repeating your previous errors. You'll have made progress away from your sinful past even if you relapse.

These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed. If so, you may be dealing with something deeply spiritual and often hidden: destiny swapping. In this post, we’ll explore what destiny swapping is, how it happens, signs to look out for, and what you can do to get back and reclaim your God-given purpose. What Is Destiny Swapping? Destiny swapping is a spiritual manipulation where one person’s divine destiny is exchanged, stolen, or traded—often without their knowledge—for another person’s benefit. It happens when dark powers, witches, false prophets, or envious individuals manipulate or hijack the divine plan God originally intended for someone’s life. In simple terms, destiny swapping means you end up living a life that is not yours, while someone else is living the blessings, favor, or opportunities that were m...

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.
