Imagine you are being attacked with a squadron of Delta Force Sandwiches!
What would you do?
Ha, Ha, Don’t make me laugh! Where did you get that crazy idea?
It is not crazy, it is to illustrate with weakness, some powerful facts!
I was thinking about temptation! How impacting it is in our lives!
Temptation looks like something nice, but it is not!
Temptation is: Sweet candy in our sour mouths!
It is like water when we are thirsty, food when we are hungry!
Money when we are in need!
Temptation gives us wings to fly, but when we are enjoying the high,
It cuts our wings off and delights itself watching us falling! When I
asked you how would you feel by being attacked by “sandwiches”,
you felt immensely powerful compared with the sandwiches, but if
you open your eyes just a little, you could be able to see that you are
being attacked by innocent looking things that not only defeat you,
but they want to destroy you!
We are being attacked by cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, things that being
smaller that one half of a sandwich, (Delta) are more powerful that us!
YOU COULD LAUGH NOW!
We all have an Achilles heel we should worry about!
You don’t know how powerful a sandwich becomes when we are hungry!
Temptations are devil’s attacks, and if we do not have the power to resist,
we fall and after every fall, we become weaker! And SIN more powerful!
When Jesus, after forty days and nights of fasting became very hungry,
and tempted by Satan, he told Jesus: If you are the Son of God, you could
tell this stones to convert into bread, that will prove that you are the Son of God! But Jesus told him: No! The scripture tells us that men do not
live by bread alone, but by the obedience to every Word of God!
Then the devil took Jesus to the highest mountain and showed Him all the
Kingdoms of the world ant told Him: I will give you all these if on your
knees you worship me! And Jesus answered to him:
Get out of here Satan!
The scriptures say that we should worship and obey only the Lord God!
And the devil went away! Mathew 3-3 and 8.
Jesus had the proper weapons to fight against the devil: God’s Word!
Sharpen yourself everyday with the Word of God!
Stop being submerged in sin!
Emerge victorious with the Sword of Truth!
Without the Word of God, we are like “sandwiches” fighting against
a hungry mouth that wants to devour us!
Fight against temptation! Read the Bible!
PRAISE THE LORD!
