TEMPTATIONS, TEMPTATIONS, WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH THEM? LENTEN TALKS DAY 6

So, you felt the pull. You knew you had to pray, maybe even fast. After all, the Bible said some issues would not budge unless you prayed and fasted. Consecrate yourself; the preacher said, “God is looking for clean vessels He can use to do exploits on the earth.” Did I hear you shout, let’s go! I thought so. Today, we take more strides as we travel the way of the cross, the road to power. Lining the sides of the road, we have all kinds of voices; let’s call them temptations on the highway of life. Wait, did you notice that since you decided to wax holy, it seemed like someone opened the gates for all the negative things to come out? Somethings you are not necessarily proud of. I mean, you are supposed to be praying, fasting, and separating yourself unto good works, and hell released all its mad drivers on the road, and now you have to deal with them? So, you found yourself cussing instead of blessing? You got angry too quickly when you should have been showing the love of God. Have you ever wondered how temptations make their way to you when you decide to go straight and narrow? Relax; you are being introduced to yourself. You know how the fire exposes the snake? Your flesh is revolting against the spirit; plus, you guessed right, the flesh is a sore loser.
