Tempted, But Not Powerless was written for the believer who loves Jesus, yet feels worn down by the ongoing pull of desire—especially when no one ever taught them how to live in a body that still wants what the Spirit resists. It’s for the person who has tried harder, prayed longer, and still felt the weight of shame whispering, “If you were really saved, this wouldn’t be so loud.” This devotional answers that lie with Scripture, clarity, and pastoral strength: temptation is not proof of spiritual failure. It is a battleground where allegiance is tested, love is proven, and authority is exercised.

Across 31 days, Dawn J. Douglas walks you through the anatomy of temptation with biblical honesty and doctrinal precision—showing how desire draws, deception entices, sin is conceived, and spiritual death can follow when desire is left unchecked. But the goal of this book is not to terrify you—it’s to awaken you, train you, and steady you. What can be traced can be interrupted. What is exposed can be overcome. You will learn how to replace shame with understanding, confusion with doctrine, and resignation with authority—conditioning the flesh to submit to the finished work of Christ, renewing the mind to agree with truth rather than appetite, and learning to walk by the power of the Holy Spirit rather than the pressure of desire.

This is not a “temptation disappears” fantasy. It’s a real-world discipleship path for people who are tired of performing, tired of hiding, and tired of being told that desire disqualifies them. You will be reminded (often) that falling is not the same as quitting, and that struggle does not cancel sonship. You are not “behind.” You are being formed. And you do not have to fight alone.
