Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table: It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind...

Let’s look again at 1 Corinthians 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (italics added). It’s that straightforward. Read the verse again. God is faithful. When you rely on Him, He will provide a way out. SAINT (YOUR NAME GOES HERE) Let’s reinforce the application. Whenever you face temptation, it’s like you’re staring at a big closed door. The door is unlocked, and on the other side of the door is sin—some sort of harmful living. Many believers stare at that big door and don’t think they have any power to keep the door shut. They believe they must open the door marked Temptation and walk through it. They don’t feel like they have a choice. Part of the reason for this faulty thinking is because we have flawed identity theology present in today’s church. Here’s the big revelation. We are not simply sinners saved by grace. We must change this distorted thinking. We are not simply beggars helping other beggars
