Scripture Passage: James 1:15 NKJV
"Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings fourth death."
My Observation
Sin becomes the character of the person who gives it the opportunity to flourish.
My Application
The Word said that "desire has [been] conceived" thus promoting the OK for sin to exist. How then may you fight this temptation? Knowing it's not God should humble me enough to back away and looking to the Holy Spirit for an alternative action. A Christian knows that opportunity available, we just actively choose the wrong route.

Scripture Passage: James 1:13-14 NKJV
"Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be
tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when
he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." James 1:13-14 NKJV
Reference - Isaiah 54:16-17 NKJV
'"Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who
brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to
destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises
against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants
of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD."'
My Observation
God is beyond temptation. Its not his character nor is heinterested in the
demise of His creation. it would not make sense to create a masterpiece then
destroy it or deface/devalue it.
My Application
Is 54:16-17 says God created the blacksmith that blows the coals of fire who
fashions the weapon of destruction. He also created the spoiler to destroy it...
SPOILER - 2) robs, ravages, plunder; 6) any competitor, entrant, or candidate
who has no chanse of ultimate victory but does will enough to spoil the chances
of another.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. That is physical, emotional, vocal,
mental, spiritual...none of it has any chance. This proves James 1:13-14.
I believe we can be our own "spoiler" when it comes to moving in the things of
God. What's our problem when we know the truth?
