REVIEW
1: The devil tries to keep from us that he is not the equal of God.
2: Satan cannot control you.

5: We can win the spiritual battle through Christ.
Number 1: Where does temptation come from?

- In a broad sense, temptation comes from the devil. It takes two to make a successful temptation—the tempter and the tempted.
1. God will always give you a way out.
2. There is a reward for those who endure it—they will receive the crown of life.
3. You will be truly happy when you resist temptation’s pull.
STEP(S)
1: The temptation itself comes.
2: You begin to think about it and enjoy the idea.
3: You are almost hooked.
4: The hook is set.
5: The deadly effect of sin takes over.
Number 2: When does temptation come?

- Temptation often comes after moments of great blessing. Temptation often comes when we think we are strongest.
Number 3: Who does temptation come to?

- Everyone. But especially those who are young in the faith and those who are making a difference for God’s Kingdom.

Number 4: How does temptation come?

- Temptation usually enters through the door of the mind.
Number 5: Where should we be when temptation comes?

- In the will of God. We often put ourselves in places we don’t belong, around people who lead us astray.
