Paul wrote that no temptation has taken you, but that which is common to man, but God is faithful, who will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
I am that way of escape. I was tempted in all points just like you, but I had no lusts. The devil will always tempt you in the area of your three lusts. The temptations I experienced in the wilderness were very real, but I resisted My enemy by speaking the Word out loud.
You can use the same words I used to resist the devil. When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the flesh, say, "It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the eye, say, "Get behind me, Satan: for it is written You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve." When you are tempted to give in to the lust of the pride of life, say, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." The devil then will have to flee.
