Satan attacks in three realms
* Appetite - a desire for pleasure, I.e., the lusts of the flesh
* Possessions and Material things - the lusts of the eyes
* Ambition, Power, and Recognition - the pride of life
Applications
- Satan can entice but not enforce! We like to blame Satan, but for the Christian, the buck stops with us!
- Satan is a master at twisting scripture and using it out of context... and so are we!
- Scripture properly used, is a key to avoid falling into sin!
- Resisting Satan will cause him to desist, for a season. He targets us; he knows.
- We will battle temptations until we go home to Jesus, so we better be strong in the Lord.
- Jesus offers succor to those who are tempted!
Keep fighting!
Have grace, avoid bring judgemental
