How to resist every temptation (Part 2)

Every temptation has a God given way of escape.  The primary escape from temptation is avoidance, as the Lord's prayer says:


"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."


Avoid all known areas of temptation.
Run from them.
Permanently remove every known cause of sin in your life.


Run.


Don't walk.


Avoid.


Sometimes we think we should grit our teeth and bear situations of temptation, staying around tempting people or places. 


No.


We should avoid everyone and everything that tempts us if we can.
If we can't, then we know it is a temptation we can bear and escape. 
But the first way of escape God gives us is the ability to avoid most temptations.

If you agree, pray with me:

Our Father in heaven,

Lead us not into temptation.

Deliver us from Satan.

Amen.
