2 Bible verses that show you what is temptation

By -

Exactly! What is temptation? Apostle James has spoken so simple and so well what is temptation:
"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by His own desires and enticed" - James 1:14

The key of this Bible verse here, at least for me, is the word "desire". Let's see what happened with Eve when she was tempted by Satan:
"So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate..." - Genesis 3:6.

What exactly want James to say in his letter to Christians about desires? When you were turned back to God, the old flesh still wanted you with all your old desires, but God already given you enough strength, courage and faith to conquer the temptation.

When you are born again, is about of Holy Spirit when God renew you in the faith of Jesus Christ. And because of Holy Spirit in you, you became a child and a son of God. Enough to understand that you and all godly Trinity are One. And that will help defeated temptation as you daily follow God!

Is important to walk daily with God so you may be courageous to defeat temptation meanwhile you will know God.

Stick to the Bible, God bless you and comment down below!

The proof that Jesus Christ was conceived by Holy Spirit in Mary's womb

By -

First of all we must understand that the Bible is made by pieces, in a manner that the stories, the events and the prophecies of the Bible are not written in chronological way. All these are like a puzzle and here you need Holy Spirit to understand. I will try to put in a chronological way all events that are connected with the conceived baby Jesus and His birth. Matthew come to tell us straight away, with no precedent event, that Joseph have seen the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus in her womb before they live together.  He was wondering how this is possible? Is there another man who sleep with her? As was her turn, Mary tried to explain, according to the Gospel of Luke 1: 26-38 , to Joseph the amazing and marked appearing of the angel of God that announce her that the Holy Spirit will conceive in her womb the Son of God. Well, Joseph was thinking about these words of Mary, as happened. Being honest and a just man he decides to hide the Virgin Mary from the eyes o...

Hypocrisy. Is this a sin?

By -

Definetely, it is. Instead of being hypocrit, is beter to be as you are before God. Well, let see the Bible verses that show us hypocrisy is sin: 1. " If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves " - Galatians 6:3 . 2. " Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord!', and do not do what I say ?" - Luke 6:46 . 3. " Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves " - 1 Peter 2 . If you are looking only your profit of someone or of something, even if you are a heartbroken person and ignoring that, that a problem with you. Galatians 6:3 is a profound verse for me. Helps me to understand what happens with me, who I am and what I do. Also Galatians helps us realise if we are hyprocrits or not. This verse can lead us where everyone is hyprocrit his part.  If we can where is the problem of hypocrisy of each one of us in everyone's side, we can fi...

Who are the sons of God from Genesis 6?

By -
Image
Most of us think that the sons of God are fallen angels. Well, is not right! Considering that angels of God had made love to the daughters of men, is a blasphemy against Holy Spirit .  By this mean, subliminal or on conscious mind, you consider that God can not be organised, is chaotic and can not be anywhere in the same time. You limited God in your mind, because you don't know the Bible. So, the sons of God turned from God to Satan and began to be evil and being possessed by demons. Do you remember when Holy Spirit was upon Mary, the virgin woman and the power was overshadowed her? Was the exactly moment when God put the seed of the Son of God in the womb of Mary without affecting her virginity.  Read much closer Matthew 1:18-24 to understand how hard was for Joseph to believe Mary that baby that she had in her womb is the Son of God, not of another man and he was almost there to divorce of Mary secretly.  Joseph didn't believed the event of Lu...

Why Jesus Christ was resurrected in Spirit?

By -
Image
" For Christ suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in Spirit " - 1 Peter 3:18 . What is all about? Because Our Lord, Jesus Christ, has never sinned as the first Adam and Eve sinned before. When they have sinned against God they just died in spirits even if they have lived in flesh for so long time. The Lord, Jesus Christ said once: " I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me " - John 14:30 .  What this mean? That Satan, the ruler of this world has no sin in Jesus Christ. Well, how this could be possible? Let's get back to the childhood of Jesus Christ in Luke where Him and His earthly parents go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. The child of 12 years old, Jesus Christ, told to His parent these words: " Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business? " - Luke 2:49 ...

Jesus defeated Satan and demons in Psalm 40

By -
Welcome back on this blog and I want to share with in this title just two things: 1. The vulnerability of human nature in Christ (if you know the moment of Jesus in Ghetsemani, you can understand. It's not the only one) 2. The real fight in prayer and in action of Jesus. First remember that God has anointing David with the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit that glorifies Jesus Christ according to John chapters 14 and 16. As you understand this, you can find Psalm 40 is prophetic Psalm of David about what Jesus will do when He will be here on Earth, where Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus Christ in David. 1. The vulnerability of human nature in Christ Psalm 40:11 " Do not withhold Your tender mercies from, O Lord ; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me ". Psalm 40:12 " For innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me...

How God is helping us to defeate temtation, Satan and to love Him?

By -
You know, most of us have issues how to love God, to obey God to defeat Satan and temptation, not to be religious, mechanical, legalist and so on. If you read Joshua 1:8 , you will discover Holy Spirit, our Suporter, the stronger One and the One Who glorifies Jesus Christ, the Risen One. Let's read it closely: " This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success ". Well... let's take step by stept this Bible verse: (1) " The book of Law shall not depart OUT OF your mouth" - remember the mention of "out of your mouth " and it means read the Bible daily. May sound religious, boring and legalist. Well, is not that. For this explination let me give you 2 Corinthians 3:17 .  Let us read it: ".. .who also made us sufficient as m...

What mean the truth will free you, when you know it?

Well most of us still confront the sin defeating us. Why is still that? Jesus said once when He was alone with His disciples, talking about the greater works and ministries in the name of Jesus: " If you love Me, keep My commandments " - John 14:15 . Maybe John 14:15 rise you questions of how can you do this. Well, the answer is very simple. Here is the answer: " The Book of Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe  to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success " - Joshua 1:8 The key word here is constance, which mean discipline and assuming responsibility daily! Wooow! You may say is hard to do that. You don't have to do so many rituals! As assuming responsibility is to just read, study the Bible daily and pray daily! What comes after I won't tell you! Read the last fragment above, read afte...

What are demons?

By -

Dear friends! If you like this post, kindly you can comment down below and (please) do share your great response! God bless you! The root of the fallen angels became evil. They are not trust worthy. What ever someone would deal with demons, will end very bad. I'm sure God warned the angels before their sin of the impossibility of a graceful recovery after they have been sinned against God. Their transformation was completely different of what they were before. Their spiritual DNA has been changed completely. They became brutal angels, liars, criminals, very  ugly and very violent, ignorant angels, naked of Holy Spirit, without the reveletion (rhema) of God's profound knowledge and homeless in the heavens of God, hurled on the earth.. Let me show what Jesus has already discovered us about these fallen angels 1. " When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. The it says, 'I will return...

What is the sin?

By -

Making short, if you want to understand what is the sin, you have to go in Genesis, chapter 2 , when Eve has been tempted by Satan. Important is to see how she has been tempted by Satan. What the Bible says about Eve? She saw the tree of knowledge beautiful and good to eat because she believed the lying words of Satan. One more is to see the origin of sin, when Lucifer (Satan) wanted to be like God. He saw himself the most beautiful angel and had the biggest position in heaven of God. He was the liders of worship and praising. He was a good commercial person - Ezekiel 28:16 . He was in Eden before humankind being created (read Ezekiel 28:13, Luke 10:18 ). People say that the origin of sin is pride, is Lucifer. It might be that. What I say here is that the sin is any action that comes against God in any way, no matter how. This is the sin.  Why God is against the sin? Well, I have a answer for that: discover God and you will see how is God. The answer is simple: God is Holy...

A powerful revelation that will make you think: Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6?

By -
First of all to exclud any missunderstanding we must look at the sense or meaning of "the sons of God". What means the sense "sons of God". Here we must look at God (this is the root of understanding). Let's think who God is: 1. God, the Father. 2. Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 3. Holy Spirit, the mighty Comforter and our stronger Adviser. Let's see the acting personality of God: 1. God is love. 2. God is patient. 3. God is powerful 4. God is (pro)Creator - remember that! 5. God is Redeemer 6. God is glory. 7. God is amazing 8. God is just. 9. God is kind. 10. God is beatiful. 11. God is subtle and so on. If we don't read the Bible, we will never know exactly what happend right there in Noah's time! Now let's what mean the substantive of "son". Son = a loving person who is the same with his father and born of his father, grown up and teached by his father in love, patience and discipline, were a great relationshi...
