How the world seduce a child of God into hell?

A. This is how? Proverb 7:7-23

I look through my window and this is what I see: 7:6

1. A young man lack of knowledge of God’s word in the Bible! 7:7

2. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house. 7:8

Wander around in the world looking for excitement to satisfy his flesh desire!

3. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night; 7:9

Fatal mistake for all in experienced young child of God! Darkness belong to the devil!

I always dare them to do their evil in bright day light and in front of the police!

For an inexperience child of God to do this is looking for destruction!

4. Behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and wily of heart. 7:10

As a Chinese saying --> she dresses like the best looking fox!

5. She is loud and defiant, her feet never stay at home; now in the street, now in the squares, at every corner she lurks.7:11-12

Like some movie stars, raise up her head and chest walking and looking for her victim!

a. This reminded me of Job 1:6-7 about Satan!

One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.

The Lord said to Satan: Where have you come from?

Satan said: From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.

b. 1 Peter 5:8--> Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

6. She took hold of him and kissed him and with a brazen face she said: 7:13

“Brazen face” is the look of no shame!

7. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. 7:14

You are my prince on the God is intoxicated with her wine of adultery!

9. Come with me and these you will enjoy: Pro.7:16-18

I have covered my bed with colored linens from Egypt.

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

Come, let's drink deep of love till morning; let's enjoy ourselves with love!

10. There is no consequences whatsoever! Pro.7:19-21

My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.

With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk.

11. He is trapped and dead! Pro.7:22-23

All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose

till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.

B. Yes, a child of God can overcome its seduction and this is how! Pro.7:1-5

1. My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. 7:1

2. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. 7:2

Apple of the eye is now we call it pupil of the eye!

3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of your heart. 7:3

4. Say unto wisdom, thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 7:4

5. That they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words.

C. Jesus has the best example for all of us! Matt.4:1-11

Do the above and answer each temptation with an appropriate word of God!

May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this on June 3, 2012.
