How to resist impulse urges / temptation?

From God�s point of view, He tells us that there is no temptation taken us, but what is common to all, but God is faithful, who will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to bear; but He will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that we may be able to tolerate it. Moreover, we are tempted to sin, when we are attracted of our own desires, and flattered thereby. Then when the desire has invented or imagined the idea, it brings forth sin; and when sin is finished, it brings forth dead works.
