Maybe you're in a perilous or a painful place again. This time it looks like there is no way out of this, Flash, but then it's looked like that before at the end of other episodes and you're still here. Get some perspective. Stand back. Remember a lifetime of the Lord's rescues. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/seeing-what-your-opponent-sees-6431 2011-09-06T09:48:24-05:00 Find the scriptures that deal with that weakness as Jesus did, and be ready to quote the Word of God. Treat your weak areas with generous applications of the memorized Word of God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/turn-around-don-t-drown-6221 2010-11-30T15:25:57-05:00 The Bible doesn't say to fight with temptation. It says to flee temptation (2 Timothy 2:22). It may not look very deep. But, believe me, it has carried away people stronger than you. God knows where the road you're on is taking you. And He loves you. And you've heard His warning, "Turn around, my child. Don't drown." You still have time to turn around. You won't have time when the flood is carrying you where you thought you'd never go. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%202:17-18&version=NIV 2009-07-28T10:01:05-05:00 Jesus is more than "just" a God who loves us: he is a God who knows exactly what we go through, because he became a human just like us. He experienced every temptation and struggle that we do, so we can trust him to understand us.
