THE POWER OF TEMPTATION
Temptation happens to all of us,it would be nice if it never occurred
They vary from very serious life or death matters to the absolute obscured
Yet many temptations have destroyed lives,as most of us have heard
Marriages,ministries and governments all badly affected,as we observe
Yet temptations are caused by our own wrong desires,we set them free like a bird
Plus satan seeks to abuse our weaknesses,'weakness' being the key word
Billions of men,women,boys and girls have fallen..satan moves them like a herd
For his aim is to destroy the lives of humanity by influencing evil desires to become stirred
A temptation is designed to make you do something you wouldn't normally do
Dangerous and extremley seductive in nature,it's purpose is to eventually ruin you
Some seem innocent like the temptation to steal a pen,or not pay you bill
Others are more dangerous like adultery or murder..yet they all involve your will
When Jesus returns,all humanity will face judgement.All sin will be judged
Temptation opens us up to sinful/destructive behaviour,it's affect can't be budged
You can be trapped by it's appeal..for it creates desires with you to influence your decisions
It can woo you,challenging your personal convictions,the temptation becomes a fake provision!
Temptation will torment you,sometimes the more you resist,the more it fights you
The thing you're being tempted to do is based on a pleasurable experience,what can you do?
You face moral dilemmas,'you don't really want to yield,yet the temptation plays you for a fool'
You fight with your own concience,as these pleasurable desires burn within and woo you
Some temptations you can easily resist,,but some appeal to you through and through
For satan offers you something you would like to have,something old..something new
This thing stirs desires deep within you ,you at times enjoy it,crave it,...isn't it true?
With you heart and thought life polluted by wrong desires,a temptation can gain a hold on you!
Yet you know it is wrong,sometimes you say NO..other times you say YES
No one can see you weak choices,yet other times you resist it..you try your best
You want to please God and NOT fall,you can feel torn between Wrong and right
Battling Temptation can be frightening,you can be tormented by wrong desires day and night
You can at times feel like you won't make it..you can feel overwhelmed , it has power
It becomes your secret private inward battle,you can be strong and weak within the same hour
Often satan creates spiritual pressure,seeking to weaken your will power.He wants you to fall
He seeks to overwhelm you by the pleasurable desires..'yet it's unto The Lord you should call'
God knows your needs,and knows the temptation seems to meet some need you have
It awakens something within you and can torment you.You can feel your going mad
God knows deep within you may not really want to fall,yet sometimes you feel bad
Yet He knows when you yield to the temptation,whenever you resist it..part of you is glad
Call upon him to help you overcome this,all temptations do is leave you broken and sad
Some of you enjoy the temptation,yet deep within you know you shouldn't have
If you want to be free..God is there beside you.call upon him and he will add
More strength to your inner man to overcome temptations power.....
.......in the end you will be GLAD
