Bible Texts:
Psalm 119:11,105 KJV
11 Thy Word have I hid in mine
heart, that I might not sin against thee.
105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 1:10 NLT
My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
Proverbs 4:14 NLT
Don’t do as the wicked do, and
don’t follow the path of evildoers.
Proverbs 28:13 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not
prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have
mercy.
Luke 10:19 NLT
Look, I have given you authority
over all the power of the enemy..."
Romans 6:13,14 NLT
13 Do not let any part of your body
become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give
yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have
new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right
for the glory of God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for
you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you
live under the freedom of God’s grace.
Romans 13:11-14 NLT
11 This is all the more urgent, for
you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our
salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12 The night is almost gone; the day
of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty
clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.
13 Because we belong to the day, we
must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in
the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual
promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy.
14 Instead, clothe yourself with
the presence of The Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself
think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
I Corinthians 6:9-11 NLT
9 Don’t you realize that those who
do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool
yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or
commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
10 or are thieves, or greedy people,
or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will
inherit the Kingdom of God.
11 Some of you were once like that.
But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right
with God by calling on the name of The Lord Jesus Christ and by
The Spirit of our God.
I Corinthians 10:12,13 KJV
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with
the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it.
Ephesians 5:18 KJV
And be not drunk with wine, wherein
is excess; but be filled with The Spirit;
Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong
in The Lord, and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of
salvation, and The Sword Of The Spirit, which is
The Word Of God:
18 Praying always with all
prayer and supplication in The Spirit, and watching thereunto with
all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Hebrews 2:18 NLT
Since He Himself has gone through
suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being
tested.
Hebrews 4:14-16 KJV
14 Seeing then that we have A Great
High Priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus The Son Of God, let us hold
fast our profession.
15 For we have not an High Priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.
James 1:2,3,12,13,14 KJV
2 My brethren, count it all joy when
ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.
12 Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown
of life, which The Lord hath promised to them that love Him.
13 Let no man say when he is
tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither tempteth He any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he
is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James 4:7 KJV
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
I Peter 1:6,7 KJV
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at
the appearing of Jesus Christ:
I Peter 5:8,9 KJV
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking
whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the
faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your
brethren that are in the world.
II Peter 2:9 KJV
The Lord knoweth how to deliver
the Godly out of temptations..."
II Peter 3:17 NLT
"...dear friends. So be on
guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these
wicked people and lose your own secure footing.

If we confess our sins, He is
Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
I John 3:8 KJV
"... For this purpose The Son
Of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the
devil.
I John 4:4 KJV
Ye are of God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he
that is in the world.
Jude 1:24,25 KJV
24 Now unto Him that is able to
keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Savior,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Revelation 3:10 NLT
“Because you have obeyed My
command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time
of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who
belong to this world.
