Stand in the Gap - How to Overcome Temptation

Published: July 23, 2023, midnight

We have been called to stand in the gap, but sometimes we are stuck in the gap instead. Be free from temptation and break cycles in your life. Understand the way the enemy works: he desires to work through you, make entry points and to gain your territory. Recognise the counterfeits of the enemy so you can stand in freedom: 1. Coveting in place of desire 2. Self image instead of God’s image 3. Fear of man instead of the fear of God 4. Concealing instead of covering 5. Selfish Ambition instead of Godly Destiny 6. Control instead of Authority 7. Lust instead of love 1 Peter 5:6-9 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings." Resist the devil and stand in the gap!
