2Corinthians 1: 8-10, Paul said that the trouble which came to them in Asia, weighed them down beyond all possible endurance; so that they really despaired of life. He said, yes in our own strength, we had the sentence of death in our selves, but thanks be to God who raises the dead, He deliver us, [God gave His believing Children the ability to have victory and overcome trials everything is under God Control, we can depend on Him. Hebrews 2:18, For in that He Himself suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.
1Corinthians 10:12-13, Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but as is common to Man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but with the temptation also make a way to escape. What Paul is saying, is that no Christian experience is unique, all temptation is common to Man and there is no reason to think otherwise. [even though when we are in that situation; it is hard to think about others, but thank God the power of prayer is a defense against temptation.
There are no permanent way to escape or avoid temptation: But you can ask God to make you sensitive to the devils trap at all times. because some times they can be very subtle, So for us to discern the different ways that he can trap us, we need spiritual eyes; which come only through the Lord Jesus Christ, whose being there; and taught His disciples, in the Sermon on the Mount; in Matthew 6:13, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. and Matthew 26: 41,Watch and, that ye enter not into temptation: God is able to help you. He already knew the outcome.
Sometimes we are tempted when we are out of God’s will. When David, Sin he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, he should have led his troop to the battle field; because he was the head of the army. When Basheba was called to come to the king,She knew that she had a husband, whom she should have been loyal to. And A God, who said that adultery is wrong. She stoop as low as she could, under the wrong authority. God new what Abraham would have done. He knew the heart of Men. But how else would Abraham grow Strong in faith. knowing that he pleased God and God was glorified in the decision he made.
