Episode 059--Unexpected Temptation

Many times we can make a plan to keep ourselves from temptation, but what happens when that plan goes awry? On the podcast I share a time that happened to me and seven things I learned from that because we need to understand how the tempter can easily manipulate us without us even knowing it is him, how he uses others to trap us, how our own desires can take over our commitment to live right and how when our plans fall through we usually fall as well.

James 4:3-10 TPT helps us understand more about temptation. When we are willfully giving in to temptation God won\\u2019t stop us, but He will give us a simple reminder to listen to Him and follow Him. In my case, He simply asks me a question.

\\u201cWhat are you doing?\\u201d It is a question that always begs for an answer. In the case of the scenario I shared in this episode, my answer was,\\u201d I\\u2019m throwing these cookies in the trash can.\\u201d

What do you need to throw in the trash? What plans have you made that will end up backfiring and bringing you into temptation rather than away from it? What recommitments does God want you to make today?
