Pray without Ceasing

The enemy is responsible for the temptations he puts in front of us, but we're responsible for whether or not we act on them. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh (Gal 5:16). Our Lord told His disciples, "pray that ye enter not into temptation," while they were at the Mount of Olives right before He was crucified and resurrected. Our daily prayers must echo His prayer, "Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done" (Luke 22:42)!! Jesus sweat as it were great drops of blood while He prayed fervently for the will of His Father to come to pass regardless of how He felt! Then He rose from prayer, and found His disciples sleeping and said to them, "Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation" (Luke 22:46). PRAY WITHOUT CEASING (1 Thess 5:17). 

We must continue to make our relationship with Him our only priority, we must meditate on His Word day and night, and we must not fellowship, or in other words HANG OUT with the wicked! Here's the proof ---> I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked (Ps 26:4-5). Because bad company ruins good morals (1 Corinth 15:33). Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

When we are around unsaved loved ones, acquaintances, and coworkers, we only have ONE mission. Are you influencing others with the light of Christ, or are YOU being influenced by them? They will either accept Christ, or reject Him and avoid you altogether! If you are a real friend, you will tell them about the saving grace of Jesus Christ! Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (1 John 2:15-17).

Apart from Jesus Christ, we are absolutely nothing.
