He then tempts Jesus in these areas:
Provisions
Turn these stones into bread
Jesus response: People can’t live by bread alone
Possessions
The Devil told him I will give you all these kingdoms and authority over them because they are mine and I can give to whoever I please
Posture
If you worship me....
Jesus replied: You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him
Protection
The Devil took Jesus to the highest point of the Temple
If you are the Son of God. Jump off
Then the Devil used Scripture
How you going to use the Word with the Word
Jesus replied You must not test the Lord your God
The Digest
•
The Devil tempts us with our strengths, not our weaknesses. He knew Jesus had power and he wanted Jesus to use his power prematurely. Once he overcomes this temptation he will be ready for the mission field
•
Jesus was tempted and temptation is part of the human experience so he like us was tempted and didn't sin.
•
The Devil will misinterpret Scripture
•
The Devil doesn’t isolate us to one temptation they are ongoing so we must be ongoing
•
The best way to resist temptation is the Word of God
•
Jesus was in the synagogue weekly making him the example for us to be in church each week
•
Your family and friends may not welcome your life in Christ and that's ok. Keep seeking God because you belong to the greater family and the Kingdom Family
•
Be a witness to them anyway
•
Where Jesus is demons flee. The demons have an agenda of “interfering”
•
Demons are fallen angels ruled by satan to harass people, tempt them to sin, and kill them.
•
God restores our health through faith like Peter’s Mother in Law so that we can serve
•
He has the ability to heal all kinds of diseases with a word.
•
He shut the demons up to show his authority
•
His identity would be revealed in God’s timetable
•
The demons know who He was
•
Jesus at daybreak went to a place of solitary to pray and be with His Father so should we.
•
We are to proclaim the good news more places
•
How are you handling temptations?
•
In what ways, have you rejected by family and friends due to faith in Christ? How do you handle or need to handle
•
Seeing the authority Jesus has and if you are his how can this help you combat the evil one. You have no power over me only which i give you..
The Chew
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you
