First, Remember as believers we have power over !

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18.And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19.Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
A Way Out !
1 Corinthians 10:13
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 a way to escape,that ye may be able to bear it.
Jesus !
Hebrews 2:17-18
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God,
to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18.For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Authority in Obedience !
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Tempted People:
Genesis 3:1-5    Eve thru doubt & lies fell into satans temptations.
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.
 He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2. The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3. but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden,
and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
4. "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
5. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

1 Chronicles 21:1-3   David thru pride & Insecurity fell into Satans temptations.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2.And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan;
and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
3.And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be:
but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing?
why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel ?

Matthew 16:22-24    Peter thru doubt & unbelief fell into Satans temptations.
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23.But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me:
for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24.Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Luke 22:2-4     Judas:  Oppressed or Possessed.
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

4.And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
John 13:26-28
26.Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.
And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

28.Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

Matthew 4:9-11   Jesus by truth overcame the temptings of Satan.
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10.Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11.Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Warnings:

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

15.Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard,

16.And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who,
when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
2 Timothy 2:25-26       Lack of wisdom: Tool of Satan.

who are taken captive by him at his will.

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil,
and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14.And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth,
and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation;

lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

11.Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12.Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
2 Corinthians 12:6-8       Pride: Tool of Satan.
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear,
lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7.And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me,
lest I should be exalted above measure.
8.For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

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.

6.But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
James 3:14-16                Envy: Tool of Satan
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
