Ellen G. White offers clear, practical guidance on overcoming temptation. Here are the key points from her writings, along with direct references for your study: 1. **Rely on Christ's Strength**: "Jesus is your helper. In his strength you can overcome the beguiling power of appetite. Summon will-power to your aid." (Counsels on Diet and Foods [CTBH] 147.2) 2. **Do Not Despair**: Even if you have failed before, you do not need to give up hope. "He may have been overcome again and again, but it need not be always thus... But he need not despair." (Ministry of Healing [MH] 174.6) 3. **Trust in God and Use Provided Means**: Overcoming temptation is only possible with God's help, and by using the means He provides. "Temptations to the indulgence of appetite possess a power which can be overcome only by the help that God can impart... It is because they do not put their trust in God. They do not avail themselves of the means provided for their safety." (CTBH 22.2) 4. **Resist Steadfastly and Seek Christ**: "When assailed by temptation, steadfastly resist the evil promptings... Cry to the dear Saviour for help to sacrifice every idol and to put away every darling sin." (Steps to Christ [SL] 90) 5. **Prayer and Faith**: "By faith and prayer all may meet the requirements of the gospel... Cry unto the Lord, tempted soul. Cast yourself, helpless, unworthy, upon Jesus, and claim His very promise." (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5 [5T] 177.2) 6. **Perseverance in Trials**: Each victory over temptation makes you stronger for the next. "If we overcome our trials, and obtain victory over the temptations of Satan... we are stronger, and better prepared to meet the next." (Spiritual Gifts, vol. 2 [2SG] 290.1) 7. **Personal Responsibility**: "It is Satan's act to tempt you, but your own act to yield. It is not in the power of all the host of Satan to force the tempted to transgress. There is no excuse for sin." (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4 [4T] 623.2) 8. **Avoid Needless Exposure**: "He who understands well his own character... should not expose himself needlessly, and invite temptation by placing himself upon the enemy's ground." (Gospel Workers [GW92] 371) 9. **The Power of Prayer**: "The temptations to which we are daily exposed make prayer a necessity... One failure to overcome leaves the soul unguarded." (MH 509.4) 10. **God's Promise**: "So we may resist temptation, and overcome Satan. The Lord says to us, 'Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.'" (The Story of Jesus [SJ] 48.5) **Summary:** Ellen White teaches that overcoming temptation is possible through reliance on Christ, prayer, faith, personal vigilance, and using the means God provides. No one is forced to sin; victory is promised to those who trust in God and resist steadfastly. **References:** - White, E. G. (1890). Counsels on Diet and Foods (CTBH). - White, E. G. (1905).

According to available White Estate materials, there is no direct statement in Ellen G. White's published books with the exact phrase "Father and Son alone to be exalted." However, her writings do emphasize that only God is to be exalted, and that the relationship and distinct personalities of the Father and the Son are made plain. For example: 1. "He alone was to receive the glory, he alone to be exalted. He was all and in all. Man was only an agent, a feeble instrument in his hands. The power and excellence was all of God." (4aSG 88.1; 1SP 380.1) 2. "The relation between the Father and the Son, and the personality of both, are made plain in this scripture also." (8T 269.5) These statements emphasize that only God is to be exalted, and that the Father and Son are distinct, but there is no explicit statement in the books that says "Father and Son alone to be exalted." **References:** - White, E.
