He WILL Keep Us From Falling

Here’s more from Grace Walk by Steve McVey.

“A guaranteed way to be defeated by the flesh is to focus on the sins that we want to avoid. That’s like going on a diet and then reading the menu at Pizza Hut every day just so we’ll know the foods we want to avoid! We don’t experience victory over the flesh by being preoccupied with it. We are to be obsessed with Jesus, not sin. ‘For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.’”(Ro. 8:5-6)

“Satan can’t make a Christian sin. The Bible says that God is able ‘to keep you from stumbling’. (Jude 24) A Christian’s problem isn’t that we are spiritually weak; the omnipotent power of Almighty God is in us. Our problem is that we focus on the temptation to sin and not on  Christ. We confess greater confidence in Satan’s ability to cause us to fall than in the ability of the Holy Spirit to keep us from falling.”
