CHAPTER SEVEN,
There is one major theme here. Men don't set yourself up to fall into temptation. Satan is very crafty. He knows that a woman can be a very big temptation for a man. Again, I must reiterate that within the bounds of marriage a relationship between husband and wife can and should be fulfilling. True fulfilment however is not just sexual. If you build a relationship on physical attributes alone, when that excitement wears out there will be nothing to hold the relationship together. All you ladies out there need to keep in mind that it takes two to tango. You can also be enticed and make a decision you will regret later.
So how do we overcome a potential disastrous situation. First, guard your mind. Don't do things that encourage fantasies that stimulate wrong desires. Second, keep away from places and people that tempt you into sin. Third, don't think just about the moment. You must always focus on the future. The Bible even declares that sin is fun for a season. The problem comes when the season ends. Generally you will be left in ruins. If you don't flee when you have the opportunity, chances are highly likely that you will give into temptation. On second thought don't, don't run. Satan's counting on ruining your life. Go for it. Let him steal your future. No instead get yourself out of sin city. Eternity is a long time. Greater is He that is in you than he that's in the world. With the help of the Holy Spirit you can and will overcome all temptations.

This is REALLY good stuff!
Strongholds form when we give in to the temptation of our weaknesses and it starts in the mind. We learned in our spiritual warfare study to use the helmet of salvation to protect our minds - thinking as Christ and using it to block out any ungodly suggestions. When such thoughts are presented, rather than entertaining them we should immediately focus on what Phil 4:8 reminds us of: to think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy.
Thanks B. Keep up the good work. I'm lovin' this series!!!
