Of course we struggle with the temptation to sin, “But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 9:57). “Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ” (2 Cor. 2:14). Notice, it doesn’t say “sometimes causes us to triumph,” or “most of the time causes us to triumph.” The Word declares God ALWAYS CAUSES US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST! Satan lies to millions of believers saying this is not possible! Therefore when the temptation to sin presents itself to many believers then, click, just like that they give in to that temptation, thinking, “Well, I am only human. No one can resist temptation on every occasion. Besides it is all covered by the blood anyway.” HERESY. RANK HERESY! “There has no temptation taken you (not a one, not a single one), but such as is common to man (we have all been there confronted with a similar temptation), but God is faithful, who will not suffer (or allow) you to be tempted above that (which) ye are able (to bear), but will with the temptation (at that exact same moment in time) also make a way to escape (a God made way, hence a perfect escape route) that you may be able to bear it (without ever sinning – NOT EVEN ONCE!)” (I Corinthians 10:13).
Believe God’s Word, not Satan’s clever lies! You will remain a slave of sin every day of your life if you listen to Satan and the clever arguments of men. “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that you should obey it in the lusts thereof Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin!” (See Romans 6:11-13). Stop yielding! JUST SAY “NO!” God help you to understand is my prayer for you.
