PREFACE

This is our sixteenth book to present to the reading public. In my evangelistic meetings, I try to bring one message in each revival on the theme of temptation. There has been such a favorable response to these messages, that I feel the Lord would have me present this little volume with the title -- Victory Over Temptation. While the salvation of a lost world is the mission of the church, yet, believers should be instructed everywhere how to meet the temptations of life. There is a genuine deliverance for the tempted -- a way of escape. For the Lord has graciously promised us victory over temptation. However, it is imperative that we fully comply with His provisions. I humbly, and prayerfully, send this volume forth, trusting that thousands of believers shall read it, and thus have a clearer understanding how to overcome the fiery darts of Satan.

SCRIPTURE

 "Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations" (Luke 22:28). "Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the laying in wait of the Jews" (Acts 20:19). "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make away of escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Cor. 10:13). "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted" (Gal. 6:1). "Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may givey ourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency" (I Cor. 7:5). "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents" (I Car. 10:9). "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptation" (I Peter 1:6). "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished" (II Peter 2:9). "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you" (I Peter 4:12). "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him" (James 1:12). "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all' the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev.3:10).
