    Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

  • The Heart Of The One Whom God Prospers Series

    Contributed by Jason Pettibone on May 14, 2007
     | 4,060 views

    there is something more fundamental to becoming a person with a blessed life even than having a dream. It is something called, ‘heart!’ Obviously I’m not talking about the fist-sized knot of muscle in your chest that pumps the blood through your body!

These are certainly desirable, but God loves to bless us with things ...read more
