Fighting temptation focuses on the cravings and desires of the flesh versus doing what is right. No one is above temptation or the potential to sin (1 John 1:8). When fighting temptation, society’s solutions revolve around personal stamina and will-power. However as worthwhile as this may seem, the chances of success are minimal, due to the focus being on natural ability. As Scripture clearly tells us, the battle is not natural-but spiritual. Ephesians 6:12-13 says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand”
As an example to us, Jesus used the weapon of God’s Word in resisting temptations (Matthew 4). Since He is the only human who has ever been tempted, yet did not sin, His example is a good one to follow! God knows how to provide a way to both get through temptation, and overcome temptation. Psalm 34:17 says, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.”
When we choose to rely on our own strength in defeating temptation, independent of God, God looks at this as pride (James 4:6). He has a plan of deliverance, a way of escape which is found primarily through relationship with Him and experiencing His loving hand of correction (Hebrews 12).
When we come to God for salvation, He gives us a new nature. The old one – full of deceit and the desire to please only ourselves – is gone. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” What begins to transpire at this point is a literal transformation. As we start to read the Bible and get to know who God is, our way of thinking is gradually changed. This is a renewing that changes the moral fiber and character of a person. New traits and disciplines are learned and integrated, replacing the old characteristics. Through a relationship with God, we become likeminded with Christ and grow in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord.
Temptation always involves choice – do we obey God or give in to our own desires? Yet climbing out of the pit of temptation is rarely simple, as anyone who has been there knows. The good news is that with God’s help, we can end the cycle. There may be pain and anguish in your heart and mind when declining temptations of the flesh, but overcoming temptation is treasure for the soul.
How the Battle is Played Out
Fighting temptation can feel like struggling for breath. It’s everywhere you turn, like a boxer wanting to pummel his opponent. Victory involves God’s Word, prayer, confession, and avoiding situations where temptation is likely to occur. God knows who we are. After all, in the person of Jesus, He has been tempted as we have. He knows what we need to do in order to defeat sin. Whatever your area of greatest temptation is, ask God to help you recognize and stay away from compromising situations. Use God’s Word to change harmful thought patterns. We have this good news from the Apostle Paul, “We are human, but we don’t wage war with human plans and methods. We use God’s mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the Devil’s strongholds. With these weapons we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas, and we teach them to obey Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NLT).
Now take charge of that Goliath in your life and Battle it knowing that Christ has Overcome for you Already.

How God Measures Success
What is success ? Most people define success in terms of achieving goals, acquiring wealth, and having prestige, favor, status, and power. "Successful" people enjoy the "good life" - being financially secure, emotionally secure, being surrounded by admirers, and enjoying the fruits of their labor. Their example is emulated and their accomplishments are noticed. Most people's definitions of success only deal with the "here and now" of this life. Even in many churches today the definition of success is in terms of numbers, size, dollars and prestige.
But success is measured and defined differently by God. God's measure of success involves our obedience and faithfulness to Him, regardless of opposition and personal cost. His measure of success is whether or not we are being loyal to Him in our personal relationship with Him and in our life, and whether we are accomplishing His goals & purposes for our life. Some examples in the Bible:
Jeremiah was an absolute failure when judged by people's definition of success. For 40 years he served as God's spokesman, but when he spoke no one listened and responded. He was rejected by his neighbors, his family, the priests and prophets, friends, his audiences, and the kings. He was poor and underwent severe deprivation to deliver God's messages. He was thrown into prison and into a cistern. But in God's eyes he was a success. He faithfully and courageously proclaimed God's word and His messages, and he was obedient to his calling.
Jesus was also a failure, if you measure his life here on earth by people's measure of success. He had little in material possessions, and did not even own a home. He was rejected by most people, and was even hated by some. The religious leaders of the time despised him. Even his friends and those closest to him deserted him. He was accused and found guilty of things he did not do. He was beaten, spit on, cursed, mocked, and he suffered terribly and died the most horrible kind of death known to man at that time, death on the cross. Measure him by the way most of us measure success, and he was a failure. But in God's eyes, the redemption and salvation of all of mankind was accomplished through His son Jesus. By God's grace and great love for you and I, He sent Jesus to pay for our sins, and now the gift of a restored personal relationship with God and eternal life can be ours - all because of Jesus Christ.

Healing Prayer
Jehovah Rapha - The Lord That Heals Me!
I come before you and praise you this day and every day, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, Lord. It was You that carefully designed every system, organ and gland in my body, and gave each one their tasks. I ask that you remind each one of the task it is given, and help them all to perform them perfectly.
Father God, you have said that I have the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and that whatever I bind on earth is bound and whatever I loose on earth is loosed! So, with that power, this day, in the mighty name of Jesus, I declare that my body is Your temple and I choose to glorify You with it. I bind any sickness or disease that has been trying to attack my body. I command it to flee in the name of Jesus so that I can present a healthy body to my Lord as a living sacrifice unto Him.
Lord, you have said that, through Jesus Christ, I am redeemed from the curse of the law. So, I receive that redemption right now in Jesus name. No weapon of sickness or disease formed against me shall prosper any longer!
In Your Word, you have promised that You will restore me to health and heal my wounds. Because I serve You, You said You would bless my food and take sickness away from me. Because I listen closely to every Word that You speak, and I keep them in my heart, You promised that they would be life and health to my whole body.
I choose to believe those promises Father. Help me to believe them more than I believe the doctors that I visit or the symptoms I feel. Help me to stand on Your holy Word today and everyday.
Right now, today, I confess that Jesus Himself bore my pains and carried my sicknesses. He was pierced for my transgressions and crushed for my iniquities. The punishment for my well-being fell on Him, and by His stripes I am healed and made whole!
Anything that was out of balance in my body, through Jesus' sacrifice, is now put back into balance. Anything trying to work death in my body is itself withering and dying, because You Father have promised that I will live and not die!
Thank You, Father, that my light breaks forth as the morning and that my health springs forth speedily!

Success in interviewers, appointment, promotions, examination and employments.
DEUT. 28:13
Success in interviewers, appointment, promotions, examination and employments.
When you want to excel and be favoured above others
When you want God to take the glory in your career
It is part of God’s own agenda, for you as His child that you should tower above your contemporaries no matter how bleak the situation is.
Daniel 6:3: “then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him and the king though to set him over the whole realm.”
To be the head means to be number one; to be the best or to be better than others. It also means to be of very high quality or to be unusually good.
What was it in the life of Daniel, a Jewish captive that made the Babylonian king set him over the whole realm? What was in his life that enables him to effectively serve two Babylonian kings and two Medo Persian kings?
In each government, Daniel was at the head. The Bible says that there was an excellent spirt that made him to stand out.
As you pray theses prayer points in faith, the Lord will deposit in your life an excellent spirit, that will catapult you to the position of the head.

GOD IS NEAR
There is an amusing story in 1 Kings 18. Elijah has challenged the prophets of Baal to call upon their god and he would call upon the Lord and they would see who answers. As the prophets of Baal call, they become more desperate, even cutting themselves to get Baal's attention.
Elijah taunts them, telling them to yell louder because maybe their god is asleep or away. When Elijah called upon the Lord, God answered immediately by bringing down fire from heaven that not only consumed the sacrifice but the stones of the altar as well.
Sometimes it feels as if God is far away from us and that he doesn't hear our prayers. This is not the case however. God is always near us and always hears our prayers. We do not need to worry about whether God heard us or if He is away because God is always with us.
Idols made with human hands take on human weaknesses. They cannot hear everything and are not always near. But the God who created us is greater than anything that we make in our own image. God is always near and will always hear and answer our prayers.
