*😟"TEMPTATION AND SIN"😟*
(Rev. Augustus Nicodemus)
"JAMES 1:14-15 OFFERS AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN *BEING TEMPTED AND FALLING INTO SIN*."
"THE TEXT TEACHES US THAT TEMPTATION, IN ITSELF, IS NOT SIN, BUT AN INVITATION TO SIN."
"THERE ARE, HOWEVER, DIFFERENT STAGES BETWEEN THE MOMENT OF TEMPTATION AND THE SINFUL ACT." (1st) "*FIRST*, JAMES DESCRIBES THAT EACH PERSON IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS ATTRACTED AND SEDUCE BY HIS OWN DESIRES."
"*TEMPTATION* ARISE WHEN SOMETHING EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL AWAKENS DISORDERED DESIRES IN OUR HEARTS."
"THESE DESIRES CAN BE RELATED TO VARIOUS AREAS, SUCH AS PRIDE, COVETOUSNESS, GREED OR LUST."
"AT THIS STAGE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SIN YET, BUT TEMPTATION HAS ALREADY SETTLED."
(2°) "*-THE SECOND* STAGE OCCURS WHEN DESIRE GIVES IN TO THE CONCEPTION OF SIN:
*"THEN THIS DESIRE, HAVING CONCEIVED, GIVES BIRTH TO SIN*."
"HERE, THE HEART ALREADY BEGINS TO GIVE IN, ALLOWING THE DISORDERED DESIRE TO TAKE FORM, INFLUENCING THE MIND AND EMOTIONS."
"AT THIS MOMENT, THE TEMPTATION WAS NOT RESISTED, BUT FOODED."
"IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT THE TEMPTATION, UNFIGHTED, LEADS TO THE DECISION TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESIRE."
"FINALLY, SIN IS CONSUMMATED WHEN THERE IS A PRACTICAL ACTION."
"THIS IT IS THE STAGE IN WHICH THE DESIRE IS CONFIRMED IN AN ATTITUDE, THOUGHT OR BEHAVIOR CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF GOD."
"JAMES SAYS THAT, *ONCE CONSUMMATED, IT GENERATES DEATH*."
"THE FINAL CONSEQUENCE OF SIN IS SPIRITUAL DEATH, WHICH, WITHOUT REPENTANCE AND THE GRACE OF GOD, SEPARATES THE HUMAN BEING FROM HIS CREATOR."
"THEREFORE, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEING TEMPTED IS NOT THE SAME AS SINNING."
"TEMPTATION CAN BE RESISTED BY FAITH, PRAYER AND BY CONSTANTLY SEEKING HELP IN THE LORD."
"SIN, HOWEVER, IS BORN WHEN THE PERSON GIVES IN TO TEMPTATION AND ALLOWS THE UNBRIDLED DESIRE CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS."
"THE PATH TO VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION IS THROUGH CONSTANT VIGILANCE AND A CONTINUOUS SEARCH FOR HOLINESS, KNOWING THAT IN CHRIST WE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO RESIST SIN."

THE SPIRITS OF THE BAR 👇
THE SPIRITS OF THE BAR
👇
Before my conversion, when I was still young, I used to go to a nightclub to listen to the guys playing blues and rock.
It was a form of entertainment and artistic expression that I experienced for a few months, but with great intensity during that time of my life.
Unfortunately, in that environment, the excessive alcohol and cigarette smoke, in addition to the presence of certain drugs “backstage”, showed that the psychospiritual atmosphere was quite disturbing.
One night, in the early hours of the morning, I found myself projected outside of my body at the door of the bar and I soon realized what was happening.
Near the entrance there was a group of spirits, some disembodied and others temporarily projected outside of their bodies, like me.
I got closer and then I saw a spirit, who looked about twenty-five years old, who caught my attention.
When he saw me, I immediately complained: - You are an obsessive spirit! You are disturbing me!
He continued to be like that, without saying anything, just staring at me.
So I continued:
- Why do you do this? Why are you making people drink until they're "drunk"?
To my surprise, he answered me very naturally:
- Stop being a hypocrite! I'm not the one who makes people drink and smoke! They drink and smoke because they want to, I just "enjoy" it with them... I give them a little help!
That's when it hit me and I realized how childish I was being.
Of course, we are all responsible for our actions, we can't blame others for them.
We have to stop with this "talk" about obsessive spirits.
So I asked:
- And how do you do that?
- It's simple!
When someone smokes, for example, I get really close to the person, almost hugging them, and inhale the smoke at the same time.
While explaining, he demonstrated.
The impression I had, when he inhaled the smoke, was that his spirit was juxtaposed with that of a young man who was smoking a cigarette at that moment, almost “sticking” to him.
After this short conversation, I returned to my physical body and woke up.
I remembered what had happened well so as not to forget it again and, after a prayer of thanks for the lesson I had received, I fell asleep.
A few days after this event, I stopped going to this bar.
It has changed a lot, it is not the same as before, but the lesson I learned left a deep impression on me.
For those who still doubt that where there is ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES, demons are nearby to drink and smoke with them, this text was enlightening.
Since they are disembodied, they do not have a physical body to feel the sensations of pleasure through drinking, alcohol and drugs, they juxtapose themselves where there are people, drinking, smoking and using drugs, to feel the sensations that these substances cause through the human body.
They don't have the power to force you to use or drink, but as in the text above, they give you "A LITTLE HELPFUL" by manipulating your mind and saying "let's drink socially", "it's just a cigarette", "it's just a career", "it's just a little stone", and when the person falls into their persuasion, it's like falling into an abyss, and it's hard for anyone to get back out.
Copied from a group of Christian testimonies.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET RID OF YOUR ADDICTIONS, YOU HAVE TO AVOID CERTAIN PLACES, BECAUSE THEY ARE MEETING POINTS FOR EVIL SPIRITS.
