Trails and temptations

HII GUYS!
So worship was led by Reuel. It was reaally good and we could feel the presence of God :)
and after that, everyone broke into their forms for discussion.
I don't know what's going on in the cell of the other forms. but i'll be sharing on what happened in the discussion of the 97'ers :D

First, what's the difference between trails and temptations?
In my opinion, i think temptations is only 1 form of trials, trials include many other forms.

so, first ill talk about TRIALS. then we'll look into TEMPTATIONS. :)

what are trials for?
To help us realize our mistakes.
To test our faith and keep us persevering
Do you know what is refining? it is to free something from impurities.
God puts trials in our lives to refine us, to free us from impurities.

Temptations.
Satan uses some strategy and tricks to lead you into temptation.
He identifies a desire in you, a sinful desire, then he makes you doubt God, after that, Satan lies to you about God isn't almighty etcetc. and lastly, you DISOBEY, you act on the thought toying in your mind. and if you give in, you fall into the trap of lies.

Everything comes with a way of overcoming. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE LORD! Amen? :DD

So, how to overcome.

Trials
You can't change the situation, but you can change yourself! :D So take trials as a jigsaw puzzle, btw our faci made us do a puzzle consisting of 700+ pieces, it was TOUGH! and we needed the picture to take us somewhere. We were each given parts to complete. Trials are the same, we should keep looking at God's purpose for us and not the hard times we're facing. Turn your focus to what God has in store for God is the Potter and we are the clay! :D

Temptations
You have to recognize your pattern of temptation and be prepared for it. When you're tempted, focus your attention on something else, you don't have to fight the thought. And most importantly, Request God's help, Ask and you shall receive. Ask him to give you strength  to face temptation. Have faith! You can do all things through HIM! :D

Hope you guys enjoyed impact!
God Bless! :D
