    About this ebook

    Spiritual Warfare: Effective Ways to Overcome Temptations teaches how you can deal with temptations and overcome them effectively. Temptations are a normal part of a spiritual life. They are not necessarily bad because they are important to the development of the soul. This is also the reason why God allows temptations to come. However, there is a difference between facing a temptation and falling into one. Falling into a temptation means committing a sin, and this is not good. As followers of Jesus Christ, we must go above every temptation in order to overcome it. Do not worry because Jesus is with you every step of the way. 

     

    Spiritual Warfare: Effective Ways to Overcome Temptations teaches practical ways and techniques that you can do to overcome temptations and deepen your spiritual life. We will discuss the hard facts and how you can wiggle through times of difficulties. God allows temptations because they are necessary for the development of your soul. Just as the physical body lifts weights to gain muscles and become stronger, the soul uses temptations to deepen our relationship with God. 

     

    Unfortunately, so many people today, including those who claim to be Christians, do not seem to be paying enough attention to the temptations that they are growing through in their lives. They also fail to realize that the spiritual life is a life of adventure. Temptations are one of the common obstacles in this adventure, and you ought to use them for your own spiritual development and training. 

     

    In our spiritual life, we shall face countless and various kinds of temptations. We can also expect to face the kinds of temptations that we would rather not face because they seem to be too powerful for us. Just remember that the darker the temptation is and the experience of it, the bigger is the potential for the soul to grow. Do not be afraid and do not worry because Jesus is with you. Use every temptation that you face to deepen and strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ. By doing this, you can turn every temptation into a blessing, and you can enjoy living a truly spiritual life. 

     

    Are you ready to learn the secrets to overcome temptations? Are you ready to deepen your relationship with Christ and experience a life that is pure and holy? If yes, then I welcome you into this journey — a journey of faith, hope, and love in the spirit of Christ.
