Who is tempting you?

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:” 
James 1:13(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows vividly that God is not the author of temptation. In other words, God is not the one tempting you. God does not want you to fall, so He would not tempt you with evil. So whenever you are tempted know that it is not coming from God.

Where does temptation come from? The Bible gives you the answer in James 1:14-15, “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Temptation comes from your own lust. As long as you do not deal with that lust, you will continue to be tempted. When you yield to that temptation, you will sin and when sin is finished, it brings forth death. So if you don't want to be tempted, eliminate lust, and if you eliminate lust, you will not sin.

Child of God you know the particular lust you need to deal with. Don't feed that lust, but instead feed your faith by getting scriptures that will help you to deal with that particular lust and begin to meditate on them day and night, don't stop until it affects your thinking. By so doing you will starve that lust to death.
