There are these three cycles that synergize temptation.If you could break one of these cycles, you would have
taken some of the energy out of this monster. If you eliminate two or all three, you then have dominion over this garden leviathan.
AMBITION, CURIOSITY, DESIRE tends to be almost like the three witches that got Macbeth into this snare, which
lead to his demise. Ambition:Cause is Col.3:1-5;John 18:37;Luke 10:17-19:Effect-Phil.3:12-14;Phil. 3:20,21;Luke 10:20-21.
Curiosity:Cause is Col. 2:21;Acts 19:19:Effect is Rom. 6:1-6;1 John 2:15,16. Desire:Cause is James 1:15;1 Cor. 11:30;11 Cor.
10:4,5; Effect is Psa. 27:5;John 10:10;Phil. 1:21-23.
Ambition has to do with the Flesh{five senses}(Heb. 5:14). Curiosity has to do with one's Emotions(Gal. 5:18-22).
Desire has to do with the mind and the heart(Dan.2:29-31;Jer. 17:9).
Samson was Ambition--Judg.14:14-16; Curiosity-Judg.13:1-3;Judg. 16:1; Desires(Judg.16:15-20,24). Samson
serves as our example; if you want power over the devil, you cannot play and sleep with the devil(Judg.14:14;Judg.16:19).
