 Hello, David Diger Hernandez here. Welcome to Spirit Church. Today I'm talking about the three keys to overcoming sin and temptation. God wants you to be free from sin. God wants you to live in the freedom of righteous living in the power of holiness. And He wants you to live in the obedience to His Word. And I believe that God has every key that you need to overcoming that sin, that temptation, right here in His Word. So we're going to be talking about that today first. Stephen Makazuma is going to lead us in worship. Right where you're at, just begin to see God. Father, we know you're with us God wherever you go. Father, we praise you and we honor you God with our worship God. Father, we love you Jesus and we praise you God. Jesus, we honor you today God. At this moment Jesus. There's no place I'd rather be. I want more of your presence. I want more of your power in my life. Father, I want to experience the fullness of you are. And I want to experience all that you have. And I want that to flow through my life. But God, I want to overcome sin. I want to overcome temptation. I'm tired of finding myself frustrated. Paul the Apostle writes, the things that I want to do, I just can't seem to do those things. And the very things that I don't want to do, I want to avoid, I can't seem but to be drawn to them. So in that predicament, we see that even Paul the Apostle struggled with the flesh. So as you were worshiping, thank you, by the way, Steve, that was awesome worship. And as you were worshiping in your homes or wherever you're watching this from. And you know what the topic is as I introduced it and you're saying, Lord, I want to overcome that. I'm tired of living in that way. You know, Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 verse 48, be he perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect. You often hear it said that nobody was perfect but Jesus. Jesus in Matthew chapter 5 verse 48 commands this perfection. And the scripture talks about that the word of God has been given to us for the perfecting of the saints. Job chapter 1 verse 1 says, there was a man who dwelt in the land of us, his name was Job, and he was perfect and upright before the Lord. Now when I say perfect, I'm not talking about the perfection that Christ achieved, that we could never really achieve here on the earth. But this perfection is more of a maturity, a completeness, a wholeness, a finished touch. And God wants to bring you to the place where you can live in freedom from sin. Sure, there will always be those things of our flesh that we fight. Sure, there will always be the temptations that we face. Even Christ himself faced temptation and the scripture says that he was sinless. So that tells me that being tempted is not a sin. So Christ was tempted. The disciples were tempted. The prophets were tempted. Everyone in this scripture was tempted and all of them fell except for Jesus. And so we're given the keys to overcoming temptation. We're given the keys to holy and righteous living right in the Bible. Jesus tells us that when we pray, he says, hey, when you go before God, you say, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom and come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And in that same prayer, among other things, we are instructed to pray that we be not led or lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Or some translations say the evil one. But the point is that Jesus is saying that we are to pray to be delivered from temptation, to be as far away from it as possible. The problem comes when we want to tread the line of our temptations so that we can get satisfaction out of being near them and we can get the satisfaction of knowing that they're at our convenience anytime that we'd like. And really our attitude, our goal, our mindset should be as Christians. Lord, I want to get away from that line as far as I possibly can. Jesus said to pray that we be not led into temptation. He said, lead us not into temptation, not help me when I put myself there. There are many people who watch this ministry and they watch it on television. I've been asked several times because many people have seen preachers fall and ministers fall and we should restore them and be gracious. And I personally don't think that the church handles fallen preachers very well. But aside from that, many have asked the question to me straight out. They said, well, what makes you different from those? How do we know you're not going to face certain things? And well, I strive for holy living. I've often asked myself that same thing and I said, Lord, I want to make sure I continue to live a life that I can say is above reproach that people can look to and say, well, that's a good example of Christ. But at the same time, I'm able to keep myself there, not that I'm perfect, not that I've obtained it, but I'm able to keep myself in clean living. I'm able to keep myself in standard with the word of God as a minister of the gospel. I'm able to keep myself there because I realize that I am not different than those who have fallen. I realize that I am not strong enough to handle temptation on my own. I realize that I shouldn't put myself in places that will tempt me. So many people look at these situations. They say, well, I'll go around what I'm tempted with. I'll go to the places of temptation and pray that God gives me strength when I'm there. But one of the first keys, and this isn't the listed keys that I'm going to give you. As you know, I usually give lists. There's three keys to overcoming temptation. I just kind of want to talk to you about the nature of temptation first. But in discussing the nature of temptation, we must come to realize that we ourselves should not place ourselves there. The scripture says that God doesn't give you any more than you can handle. The problem isn't that God gives us more than we can handle. The problem is that we put on ourselves more than God has given us and therefore more than we can handle. So as believers, as Christians, we are to avoid the places of temptation. We are not to put ourselves in and say, well, I'm strong enough. Well, I can handle it. Well, I'm good now. We have to avoid at all costs the things that tempt us and say, Lord, I want to keep my eyes completely on you. I don't want to go to the places that I know I'm going to be. I don't want to go to places where I'm going to have to hold close and say, Lord, help me. I want to avoid those. But the reality is that even though we don't want to be led into temptation, even though we as Christians don't look to tread that fine line between sin and holiness, even though we as Christians look to live our lives above reproach, above blame, above accusation, we will find ourselves placed in the places of temptation because we live in the world though we're not of the world. Sure, we're not of the world. We belong in heaven with God. Our place is with our Father. We are children of God. We are heavenly beings walking here on earth. I want you to really think about that. But the reality is too that we are of heaven in the earth. And when we're in the earth, we're going to find ourselves tempted. We're going to find ourselves faced with things that draw us and lure us into the places that we know we shouldn't go into doing things you shouldn't do, into saying things you shouldn't say, into hearing things you shouldn't hear, et cetera, et cetera. There is a very seductive power to sin in that it's alluring, it's magnetic. It knows how to draw on our weaknesses and the enemy has been watching man since the creation. The enemy knows how to tempt us, which we're going to get to in just a moment. So the enemy understands our weaknesses. He understands how to tempt you. He understands that he's not going to tempt you with something with which you are not tempted. He's going to put things before you that you desire, that you want, that you want to surround yourself with. And so we as believers have to come to the mindset, as Job said, he says, I've made a covenant with my eyes. I will not allow them to behold any evil thing. And we have to make a covenant with the rest of ourselves and say, God, I'm not going to let my hands handle evil things. I'm not going to let my ears hear evil things. I'm not going to let my eyes see evil things. I'm not going to let myself go evil places. I'm not going to let myself do evil things, et cetera, et cetera. So first John chapter 2 verse 16 tells us of the nature of sin and seduction and unrighteousness. And it really condenses it all into one thing. See, I can sit here and I can preach against the sin of alcoholism or drunkenness. I can preach against the sin of fornication, which is sex outside of marriage. I can preach against the sin of homosexuality, which by the way, it is a sin. I was asked that question today. We love them. We preach the gospel to them. We want God to save them, but that is a sin. And now more than ever, we preachers can't be afraid of preaching the truth. We have to be bold in our declarations. There's the sin. I could talk about murder. I could talk about lying. I could talk about stealing. I could talk about lust of all forms. I could go on listing things, but that's not the gospel. The gospel is not the presentation of the problem. It's the presentation of the solution. And so in keeping with the nature of the gospel, though I can talk about sin, I really do believe that the Holy Spirit knows how to do His job. We as the believers are to love people. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin. And so you know in your heart what are the areas in your life that need to be made right. And I don't need to beat you over the head with those because you already know. As I talked about sin and temptation, the very reason you're watching this is because there are things that you could think of where you're saying, Lord, I don't want to do those things anymore. I want to be free. I want to come into the place where I can say, Lord, I'm clean before you. And even though sometimes you may mess up now and there, you live a lifestyle of holiness. Sin is not necessarily making a mistake, but it's living the mistake again and again and again in a rebellious way. So 1 John chapter 2 verse 16 says this and it's so insightful. This is powerful stuff right here that he tells us. The scripture says, For the world offers only a lust of the flesh, a lust of the eye, and the pride of life. The New Living Translation says the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our own achievements and possessions. That's so insightful because all sin, as I mentioned just a second ago, though it can be listed and categorized and specified, I can go on listing 10,000 sins and still have many more to mention. However, the Bible tells us the very core, the very root, the very fundamental aspects of sin, the fundamental roots of sin are the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It's those three things. And if we can narrow it down to those three things, instead of trying to put labels attached with what the scripture says, though the Bible does mention the sins, it's not our job to go labeling people. It's our job to preach freedom from sin, people knowing their hearts at their centers. To preach that Jesus forgives, he saves, he can set them free from that, and he can save them from the hell that's coming. So we are to preach that salvation from those things. But instead of going on listing those things, we can simplify the matter, and we don't complicate it in our minds. It's the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how evil you consider your sin to be, it doesn't matter how often you sin, it doesn't matter how bound you are to that sin, it doesn't matter how bad you feel about that sin. All sin, no matter what it is, will fall under the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life. Those are the three things. Now watch this. In Genesis chapter 3, remember I talked about the enemy having been around since the creation of man, and he understands how to tempt us. And I'll tell you why you know that, because first John chapter 2 verse 16 tells us the very nature, the core essence of sin, the three fundamental roots of sin. And then the Scripture goes on to tell us that in Genesis chapter 3 verse 1, watch this, this is awesome that the Scripture gives us this sort of insight. It says, Now that serpent is Satan. There are many Scriptures to support that. That's a different study for a different time, which I am working on, a new teaching on demons. And I promise you, as I was studying on demons, it was just blowing my mind. And I was talking to you at dinner the other night. I'm excited about that new teaching, so stay tuned. I really am excited about the teaching that comes out of this ministry. Last week, Kevin Beckman was here, and he taught on stewarding the anointing. You've got to watch that clip. Just relax. I mean, if you've got some time after this clip, go right to that one. Kevin Beckman did a teaching on stewarding the anointing, but then on top of that, stick around for the coming weeks. I got a teaching coming on demons that I know is going to bless your life, and expose the enemy, and bring freedom. Anyway, so that is the devil. That serpent is the devil, okay? It says, Of course, we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, the woman replied. It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, Number one, that tells me Eve doesn't know the word of God. The word of God is not in her heart. So the enemy tells her this. You won't die, the serpent replied to the woman. God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God knowing both good and evil. So the enemy is already lying there. He's already trying to seduce her into telling her, you can be like God. You can understand what God understands. You can know what God knows. And I was having lunch with a friend today who pointed out that he said, well, they did end up knowing good and evil because they knew after they ate the fruit that God was good and they were evil. And so their eyes were opened, but the enemy had seduced them into doing something. It was rebellious. It was a mutiny. They were turning against God. And so the woman was convinced verse six. Now watch this. Remember 1 John chapter 2 verse 16, and then remember this Genesis 4 or 3 6. The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious and the scripture says she hungered for it and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. Watch that. She saw. There's the lust of the eye. She hungered for it, the lust of the flesh, and she wanted to be like God, the pride of life. The enemy hit her on all three points right at the beginning. And then the scripture says, so she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband who had to be right there next to her watching this whole thing if she could just turn and give him some. Okay? Who was with her and ate it too. At that moment their eyes were open and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Now let's correlate this also. This gets even better. Matthew chapter 4. This is the temptation of Christ now. This is after he was baptized and he heads off into the wilderness. Matthew chapter 4 verse number 1. The scripture says, then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. Again, there he is to do the tempting. The enemy was there at the creation and then the enemy was there when Christ was ready to go out and do ministry. And this is what the scripture says in verse 2. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. During that time the devil came and said to him, if you are the Son of God tell these stones to become loaves of bread. Jesus told them, no, the scriptures say, people do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took them to the Holy City of Jerusalem to the highest point of the temple and said, if you are the Son of God, jump off. For the scriptures say, he will order his angels to protect you and they will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot against the stone. In verse 7, Jesus responded, I love how quick he is. Jesus responded, the scriptures also say, you must not test the Lord your God. Verse 8, next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Verse 9, I will give it all to you, he said, if you will kneel down and worship me. Verse 10, Jesus replies, get out of here Satan, Jesus told him. For the scriptures say, worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Verse 11, I love this. Then the devil went away and angels came and took care of Jesus. It was that simple. Jesus had free will. Jesus would not have been tempted if it wasn't tempting and it wouldn't have been tempting for Jesus if it wasn't a possibility that he could have done what he was being told to do. Jesus could have given an attemptation, but he didn't. Now some say, well, Jesus is God. So that's how he did it. No, no, no, the scripture says that he stripped himself of all godliness so that the only power he had that was divine was the power of the Holy Spirit. So the very same power that Jesus had to overcome temptation is the very same power by which you and I can now overcome temptation. So notice this now. Satan told Jesus to do three things. Number one, make these stones bread. That's the lust of the flesh. Why? Because Jesus was hungry. He told himself, throw yourself down and prove. That's number two, the pride of life. And then he says, I'll give you all that you see. It was the lust of the eye. The enemy again coming with the three fundamental roots of sin and temptation. James chapter 4 verse 7 through 8 tells us that if we resist the devil he will flee from us. First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 tells us that God will give us no more than we can bear. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 15 says that in every point Jesus was tempted. What points? It's talking about those three points. At every one of those single points Jesus was tempted. So was he tempted with every specific sin that there ever was? No. There was a movie that they made about Jesus where they tried to imply that he was tempted with every possible form of temptation. That's not true. Jesus was tempted in every point of sin, not every specific sin. So what can we learn from the temptation of Christ? Well number one, remember how he responded to each one. Jesus responds to each one by saying something from Scripture. But he also says the first time, he says no, the Scriptures say people do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. So how does he overcome the lust of the flesh? This is beautiful. This is where it all ties in. So the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life, Jesus was tempted in each one and in each one he had a different response. How do you overcome the cravings of the flesh? The sins like gluttony, the sins like sexual sins, the sins like drug addiction. How do you overcome the physical lust of the flesh? Well, Jesus said it's by the word of God. The Scripture says this, oh this is so beautiful how it ties in perfectly. The Scripture, I'm telling you truth is truth and it is consistent all across the board. Psalm chapter 119 verse 11, this is where the Bible says that the word helps you overcome sin. Psalm chapter 119 verse 11 says I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. So I'm putting the word of God within me so that no sinful action comes out of me. There was a famous evangelist I don't remember because it was an older quote but he said that sin will keep you from the word of God or the word of God will keep you from sin. And so the word of God, the more of the word of God that you have in you that lessens the cravings of the flesh. So you want to know how to overcome lust. You want to know how to overcome all those things. You fill your mind with the word. You fill your soul with the word. You fill your spirit with the word. The more often that you're in the word, the weaker the physical cravings of the flesh become. The lust of the flesh loses its power when you get into the word. The lust of the flesh loses its power as you memorize the scripture as you learn the truth of the word of God. That's number one. So number one, you overcome the lust of the flesh through the word. Number two, the scripture says, remember that Jesus was told to prove himself and that's the pride of life. So number two, Jesus said what? He said, no, you'll only worship the Lord your God, right? And so number two, the way Jesus overcame the pride of life was by worship. When we worship the Lord, we humble ourselves before him. We say, Lord, I don't want more of me. I want more of you. I want to be empty of myself and I want to be filled with your Holy Spirit. John chapter 3 verse 30 says, I must decrease, but he must increase. Paul the apostle writes, I die daily. Some of you might be saying I die like a million deaths a day. And it's true. The word of God is consistent all across that we must worship if we're to kill the pride of life. As we lay ourselves before God and say, Lord, it's not me, it's you. It's not about my dreams. It's about your will. It's not about what I want. It's about what you want. And we stop fighting him. We stop resisting him. And we stop putting ourselves in the places of sin. We do it through worship. We do it through adoring him. We do it through focusing on him. We do it through capturing that image of the sun. As you've heard me teach you on worship before, you capture the image, the revelation of the sun. You hold that image and you glance at it. You gaze at it with the eyes of your heart and then he becomes real and it breaks the power of sin over your life. To overcome sin, you don't need to fight harder or discipline yourself more. That's a very small part of it. To overcome sin, you need to look to Jesus. To overcome sin, you need to love Jesus. Loving Jesus is the key, the greatest key to overcoming sin. And really all sin, even the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh, I would argue, that is rooted too in the pride of life. Because everything about sin says you're not God. I'm God. That's everything about sin. It resists the will of God. It resists the nature of God. It resists all of his desires, all of his wants, all of his preferences. It's you saying, God, I know you designed me this way, but I'm going to function this way. And it's you taking over and saying, I'm God in my life. I decide what I do. All sin comes down to self-worship. All sin is selfishness. It comes down to saying, I'm the Lord of my own life. That is why worship breaks the power of the pride of life over you. It's that puffed up that you get. You get puffed up when you're associated with certain groups or certain music or certain styles or certain industries or certain fads or certain people. You get puffed up when you're identified with the world as a party person or as someone who can hold their liquor or drink. I know people. They're so proud that they can drink. Really, you're proud that you're really good at killing your brain cells is what you are. And they're proud of it because that's the pride and they think it's an accomplishment in some way. They love being associated with darkness and wickedness and sin. They love being associated with people who are rebellious or people who are modern or sophisticated or a part of this world. They want to be identified with the world. They want to be identified with its systems. They want to be identified with its music industry, with its television industry, with its movie industry, with its fashion industry. They want to identify with it. They find pride in it and they allow themselves to come into the places of sin because of the pride of life. They're puffed up. They don't want to be identified with God because it humbles them because it's saying, I'm not in charge, God's in charge because it embarrasses them. Some people are embarrassed in the name of Jesus because of the pride of life. I don't want that to be me. So I will humble myself. I will worship. And thirdly, Jesus overcame the lust of the eye through humility. And so, in Scripture, we see the keys. And really, even though they're very specific in that order, it's quite possible that they all overlap. That you can overcome all three through all three. It works either way. So the word, worship, and finally number three is humility. The Scripture says, James 4-6, God resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble. Grace is the power to resist sin. Grace is God's empowering presence in your life. Grace is not an excuse of sin. It's the power to overcome it. And so, when you, when God doesn't resist the humble, He gives them grace. So when you humble yourself before God, you're saying, Lord, I need your grace. God, I need you near me. I used to pray when I first got saved and I was enthusiastic about everything that was happening in my life. I used to pray, Lord, I want you to be with me every week. I want you to just give me a fresh touch. I want to experience your presence and be with me every day. I want, I want to experience your presence every day and the more I've grown, the more I've realized how desperate I am for Him. And now I say, Lord, I don't need you every hour. I don't need you every minute. I need you every moment. I need your presence. I need, I need this grace. I need your power. I need the Holy Spirit. I need that with me every moment. And so, as Stephen begins to play, I'm going to now use this message to a close. You're living in the power of sin. You're living in the power of what the enemy holds over you. It's time to break free from sin and temptation once and for all. Let me pray with you. Let's agree that God is going to break that off of you. I know it's been tough. I know, look, I know the enemy's been attacking your mind with guilt and he's been weighing you down with shame. You know, the trick of the Bible and read where you don't want to pray, that's because it's the enemy trying to double down on his assault on you. But let me tell you something. The shortest distance between you and God is worship. The shortest distance between you and God is worship. So, I want to pray with you. I want to pray that, number one, if there needs to be any deliverance in your life, when I pray for you right now, if there is deliverance, if there needs to take place, demonic powers, they're going to lose their hold on you. Addictions are going to be broken. There's people watching right now. You have drug addictions, alcohol addictions. It's going to be broken right now. Not because of me, but because of the power of the Holy Spirit. If two touching anything shall agree in my name, it shall be done unto them. That's the word of God. That confidence I have is not in my ability to pray. It's in God's word. And so we're going to pray for that addiction to be broken off of you. We're going to pray for the less to be broken off of you. Some of you are addicted to pornography and fornication and sexual sins. We're going to pray for the less to be broken today. But all we're going to do right now is smash that lock or unlock the cage. In your everyday life you have to choose to step out of that cage and keep out of that cage. That comes through choice. So the deliverance comes when its hold is loosed on you. But the everyday decision kicks in when you need to lose your hold on him. When I pray for you and we're going to pray and God's power is going to break sin's power over you. But you everyday have to lose your grip on sin through choice. So through power sin's grip is broken. Through choice your grip is loosed. So God's going to set you free right now. The cage is going to be open but it's up to you from this moment on to choose to walk out and stay out. And I believe you can do it. I know you can. Sure. You may revisit it now and then sure you may slip up but you keep going and if you keep going you will win. You're going to beat this thing you're going to succeed. You're going to come out of this and you're going to look back one day and you say I remember when I was bound I remember when as a believer I had trouble with this. Let me tell you something we preach 1 Corinthians 6 where it goes on listing all these sins. We preach that to people as if it's people who need to get saved but Paul wrote that to the church. 1 John 1 verse 9 says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. The scripture writes and just above that the scripture says my little ones I write this unto you so that you do not sin but if you do you know you have an advocate. Can I tell you that many of the epistles were written to Christians teaching them how to overcome their sin let that shame and guilt be broken off of you today let it be done. You're coming out of this thing you're going to be free from this thing you're no longer going to be bound you're no longer going to live in guilt you're no longer going to live this over your head you're no longer going to be looking over your shoulder at your past wondering if things are going to catch up let me tell you something God is going to set you free today and I believe it because the Word of God speaks it and if the Word of God speaks it there's power for God to perform it in your life let's pray now Father in Jesus name I pray for that one watching break the power of the enemy over their life right now in the name of Jesus in the name of the son of the living God I break every addiction right now I break drug addiction I break alcohol addiction I break sexual addiction I break the addictions to pride the addictions to anger I break it over their lives now in Jesus name and Lord if there be any demonic influence I cast out every demonic spirit I cast out every demonic influence by the power of the Holy Spirit I evict every demonic force from their lives from their homes and from everyone they love in Jesus name and so Father I pray you now fill each one watching with the power of the Holy Spirit fill them with that freshness fill them with that newness of life fill them with that joy that peace that King David created me a clean heart oh God a renewal right spirit within me cast me not away from thy presence oh Lord and take not thy Holy Spirit from within me Father let that be our prayer and as they pray I pray Lord for forgiveness to sweep across that room therein I pray for the grace to empower them I pray for guilt to be broken shame to be broken peace to flood their very soul joy to flood their very soul clarity to flood their very soul I pray in the name of Jesus that to take place right at this very moment that the enemy Lord every lie that the enemy some of you the enemy is lying to you right now even as we're praying he's telling you you're not forgiven he's telling you it's not over he's telling you you're going to struggle I command that lying devil in Jesus name to loose that hold and shut his mouth in the name of Jesus and I pray for the truth of God to trump every single lie in the name of Jesus and Father I pray right now that you would wash away the stains you'd wash away the stains give them a new confidence Lord in who they are in you in Jesus name we pray I feel the anointing going through right now breaking every yoke of bondage and God has set you free today go now and sin no more live in the freedom that God has given to you now before I dismiss and as Stephen continues to play I want you to know that Spirit Church is our online discipleship program this is our ministry to the believers our ministry to the unbelievers is EncounterTV and our Encounter Services that we take all over the world so really there are four major ministries there are about nine or ten ministries that we function in different media platforms different outlooks and what not but there are basically four cornerstone ministries of this this organization there's number one EncounterTV that's to the unbeliever Encounter Services
