84. Overcome Temptations

UncommonTEEN: The Podcast for Christian Teen Girls

I heard someone say this the other day and it really made me think…they said that one of the biggest challenges that we face in life comes from temptations. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t make me feel very encouraged. However, there is encouragement, because just because we are tempted, it doesn’t mean that temptations have to overcome us. 1 John 5:4 tells us that whatever is born of God, overcomes the world.

Temptation will come to you, because the enemy is real and he wants to pull you down any way he can, but it doesn’t have to overcome you! We just have to decide that we are not going to let that temptation overcome us!

The two biggest things that the enemy tries to tempt us with is our mind—or our thinking and our emotions. Can I get an amen?

Did you know that not all the thoughts that come through your head are your thoughts? Have you ever had a thought come into your head and you were like…where in the world did that come from? That is not something I would ever think about? You were almost ashamed by it. The enemy will put thoughts in your mind, because he wants you to take the bait. If you take a thought that he place
