Synopsis

Knowing the purpose and the background of temptation equips us to more completely and permanently overcome. If it was as easy as "Just don't do it," no one today would be suffering due to the consequences of self-indulgence associated with overeating, drugs, and alcohol substance abuse, hyper-sexual deviance, gambling, internet lusts, and all other addictions and snares of the enemy. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free...If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" John 8:32, 36 KJV.

About this title

About the Author

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him (2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV). A lifetime of unparalleled theological academia does not more greatly prepare one to receive a word from the Lord than truly loving God and thereby loving one's neighbor (even the not pretty, difficult ones), fully repenting of sin and devoting one's self to the kingdom of God. It is not for man to qualify or disqualify the anointed of God, nor is it for man to qualify himself. Rather let the work of the Lord and the fruit of a man's works reveal whom God has chosen. An ex-professional athlete, I have been completely delivered from many areas of temptation through knowing the Truth of Jesus. Some of the greatest areas of change in my life where I have been delivered from bondage and truly made free have been drugs, alcohol, homosexuality, pride, selfishness and materialism. Now I only want you my brother, my sister, my friend, to be freed from those familiar sneaky and seductive lies of Babylon and the Devil's kingdom of darkness. Then, you will forevermore live freely and lightly in Jesus, and His Truth and the divine power of God's kingdom will see you working right alongside God to help your loved ones get free as well. "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Come out from among her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Revelation 18:3-4)
