Overcoming Temptations


Day 1: Deliverance from on-going temptations:
1 Cor. 15:57; Gal. 2:20; Psalm 124:7; Psalm 125:3; Isaiah 49:25
  • Give thanks to the Lord, who gives you the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Confess, “…I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me…”
  • Command every sinful snare over your life to be broken and your soul to escape like a bird out of the snare of the trapper.
  • Decree that no sceptre of wickedness will rest on your life portions.
  • Ask the Lord to contend with every sinful habit or ungodly behaviour that contends with your desire for holiness and righteousness. Command the captives of the mighty to be taken away, and the prey of the terrible to be delivered.
  
 Day 2: Overcoming Temptation through spiritual alertness:
Mark 14:38; 1 Thess. 5:22; 2 Peter 3:17; Psalm 1:1; 1 Cor. 6:18
  • Pray for spiritual alertness to stand; strength and sensitivity to run away from temptations.
  • Pray to be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness.
  • Pray that you will not walk in the counsel of the ungodly or stand in the path of sinners or sit in the seat of the scornful.
  • Pray for the boldness to flee from all kinds of temptation and to glorify God in your body.

 Day 3: Overcoming Temptations through His word:
Ps. 1:2; Prov. 2:1-3; Ps. 119:9-11; Rom. 12:2; Gal. 5:16-18
  • Pray to receive God’s words in your heart and to treasure His commands within you.
  • Pray that you will incline your ear to wisdom, apply your heart to understanding, cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding.
  • Pray that your delight will be in the law of the Lord and in His law, you will develop a hunger and meditate on it day and night.
  • Pray for the boldness not to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is.
  • Pray for a fresh fill of the Spirit of God and that, you will walk by the Spirit, and will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
