“A Way Out”
The
temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more
than you can stand. When you are
tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13
The Apostle
Paul wrote this word of ENCOURAGEMENT to the TRUE BELIEVERS in Corinth. He wanted them to UNDERSTAND, just how much POWER
they possessed through Jesus Christ, in order to OVERCOME the TEMPTATIONS that
they faced EVERYDAY.
Here are
some things, I feel God wants us to KNOW and APPLY to our LIVES and our
RELATIONSHIP with Him, as His CHILDREN. First,
we should make sure that we have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him, which is, that
you have come to the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST, and have CONFESSED your sins to Him,
asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. Next, You SHOULD BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART,
that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession
for you, before God. You SHOULD be WILLING
to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, meaning, that you GIVE UP your OLD
WAYS, and EMBRACE the WAYS of God. In
other words, START LIVING by FAITH and NOT by the FLESH. This will bring STEADFASTNESS and STRENGTH to
your FAITH.
And because
of this RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD, made possible ONLY through a
RELATIONSHIP with His SON, JESUS CHRIST, you can have the POWER to OVERCOME ANY
TEMPTATION. Because of God’s FAITHFULNESS
and the fact that He will NOT ALLOW the TEMPTATION to be MORE than you can
stand, you can be a VICTOR over these TEMPTATIONS that can bring GREAT HARM to
your RELATIONSHP with God, if YOU allow YOURSELF to FALL to the
TEMPTATION. The BIGGEST PROBLEM TODAY, is
people are NOT looking for A WAY OUT, through ENDURANCE but for a WAY IN for
INDULGENCE. How is YOUR RELATIONSHIP
with GOD? Are you LOOKING for A WAY OUT
of your TEMPTATIONS? Or are you LOOKING
for a WAY IN FOR the INDULGENCE?
If you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, then you
really DON’T have a RELATIONSHIP with Him, and chances are EXTREMELY GOOD, that
you are NOT LOOKING for a WAY OUT of the TEMPTATIONS you face each day. Sadly, to say, but your DESTINY is NOT a very
POSTIVE DESTINY. If you continue to REJECT JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and
LORD, then you have NO RELATIONSHIP with GOD, but are HEADED for an ETERNITY in
HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. You MUST have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD,
by TURNING AWAY from your TEMPTATIONS, and TURNING to GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT
HEART. And CONFESSING your SINS to Him,
and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS. And
BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in
Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and start
LOOKING for WAYS OUT of your TEMPTATIONS, remembering, that GOD is FAITHFUL and
will NOT ALLOW the TEMPTATION to be MORE than you can stand, but He will show
you a WAY OUT, so that you can ENDURE, and have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with HIM, and
spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
