Genesis 3:1 [The Temptation and Fall of Man] Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 

Temptation and suggestions from Satan and the dark kingdom never seem to cease. The devil is out there to devour us (1 Peter 5:8 ……because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour). It is a full time job trying to overcome the temptation and suggestion from Satan.

I want share something with you all on how to fight the temptations and suggestion that Satan uses as he tries “to steal, and to kill and to destroy (John 10:10) mankind. 

I was driving in my car and all of sudden a great temptation/suggestion hit me hard.  It was so great that I immediately wanted to act on the temptation and I was willing to do it right then without regard to the consequences.  All of sudden I was led by the Lord to ask a question out loud and it went like this “IS THIS WHAT GOD WANTS FOR MY LIFE?”  In essence I was asking myself if I wanted to commit this sin.  More importantly, I was asking Satan and his dark kingdom the same question at the same time.  Without a doubt, I knew the answer to the question.  Without a doubt, Satan and his dark kingdom knew the answer as well causing the Tempter to leave immediately.

Needless to say I was both shocked and overwhelmed at the results.  What an amazing thing to have happened to me.  The Lord gave me an awesome experience of how powerful His kingdom is and how it operates.  I knew that I was onto something.  God allowed me to experience the keys to the kingdom (Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”).  I was able to bind up and loose the temptations. 

I could not share this with anyone until I was able to test this method that was given to me.  Several times the temptations came and I was able to recognize them.  I was quick to ask the question “IS THIS WHAT GOD WANTS FOR MY LIFE?”  Every single time I was able to resist the temptation and they had to flee just as it says in God’s Word.  (James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you).  I submitted to what God wanted me to do and I received His mercy and blessings.

It is my prayer that you when the temptations/suggestions come from the enemy, you will ask the same question:

“IS THIS WHAT GOD WANTS FOR MY LIFE?”
