temptations come from three sources: your flesh, the world, and the devil. your fleshly desires, your lusts, if unchecked, lead to sin; the world tempts you with power, fame, riches, etc., and the devil tempts you to be more like God, but not God's way. another way. a secret way. an occult way.
if the temptation comes from the flesh: flee it
if the temptation comes from the world: faith will overcome it
if the temptation comes from the devil: resist it
this is, of course, once you're a christian; on your own, in your "natural" state, you really have no defenses
