James 4:7 (NIV) Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

Living in the moment for Christ doesn’t prevent us from being tempted by Satan. We see this when Jesus goes into the wilderness. Satan tried to tempt Jesus on three separate occasions, but every time Jesus fought off Satan’s deceitful ways. We need to be ready in every moment that Christ has us to follow Him because right behind us will be Satan trying to pull us back into the ways of the world. If we trust in God, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, we can make it through the temptations, but still we have the choice whether to sin or not.

Ask God to fill you with the power of the Holy Spirit, so whenever Satan does come at you with his temptations of the world, you’ll be ready to battle him head-on.
