TEMPTATION



Temptation, that lane that always looks wide, and is wide, that you're willing to walk even through rain or a steep terrain. Don't walk on that lane!


Matthew 26:41 King James Version (KJV)

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing [has a strong will/strong], but the flesh is weak. (- Jesus C.)

James 1:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

James, the half-brother of Jesus was truly a strong man in faith. You can tell this by his work while in the spirit of God writing for us.

Job 2:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

Satan Attacks Job’s Health

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”

Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”

4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”

6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.


God allowed Satan to tempt Job a few times actually and never did Job blame God or turn bitter towards God. PASSED with flying colors (with God passing is 100% *ONLY, He knows your heart, it's YES or NO [100% or 0%]).

Matthew 26:41: 
Another of the many examples of the Word of God depicting the human soul; a combination of the mind and body/spirit and flesh, not either or the other, but both. So, when your flesh dies, you pass away, your spirit is there too in sleep. A state of sleep according to the Bible. The spirit is not "ETERNAL" as many other worldly religions coin it. Your soul dies with your body when you die physically (the whole package), you're not going anywhere ("nirvana" or 'the purgatory," or "spirit haven,"...none of that actually is real, fairy tales of Satan). Until God revives you during the end of time and resurrection, when the whole project is over you will be in a state of sleep that no one can awaken from or be woken-up ("dead" as we call it).

God (Yahweh) Bless you!
