Overcome Temptation

Temptation is Satan's way of getting us to fulfill a perfectly legitimate need in an illegitimate way. Our need for security, companionship, identity, etc. can be fulfilled according to God's plan or in ways that ultimately lead to destruction. 

 

This lesson gives a variety of suggestions on how we can overcome temptation.  However, we must be reminded that a deep relationship with God and surrendering completely to Him gives us the great strength to overcome.

 

As you meet with the person you are mentoring be aware of chronic issues with temptation (addictions).  Through the power of the Holy Spirit, these can be dealt with.  However, there are times when professional help or support groups are appropriate.
