Satan Tempts Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’
and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters. Power of Christ Daily 18 August 2015 Devil spoke Jesus replied part 2 Devil spoke, Jesus replied part 2. Because there are so many other things that we.
00:18 I have to explain from that scripture what happened in that time that Jesus was dealing with this, the devil. Remember this. He is a cunning, cunning, cunning liar.
00:31 God calls him the father of all lies. So he lies and lies. Even when he tells the truth.
00:37 The truth a little bit there it is twisted so we will fall into it and get tempted or something. So always remember we must be in Christ Jesus. In Christ Jesus.
00:49 Our faith is in Christ Jesus. He has no power. The devil has no power.
00:52 Power. But he is hoping for us to transfer our power to him by seducing our mind, by making us believe things, by making us want things. That the way he is putting the.
01:04 And he is a ruler of the world. God calls him the ruler of the world. And in fact he says the whole world is under the sway of the devil.
01:12 Under the sway means influence of the devil. The whole world. Can you imagine? That is why God says if your friendship with the world is enmity with God, if you’re a friend of the world, you’re an enemy with God.
01:24 What is the world? The world system, not the human beings. The human beings are captives. When the human being is influenced by the devil and tells lies or whatever to you, you still love the human being.
01:37 Because we are children of God. Because we are co rulers, co heirs. We are brother of Jesus Christ.
01:45 He says, I’m not ashamed to call you brother. We are a brother of Jesus Christ. We can love because we have power.
01:52 We are not afraid. When somebody is trying to lie and cheat with us. Oh, we get fed up with them.
01:57 No, no, no, don’t get fed up with them. They are captives just as we were. I was a terrible captive.
02:05 They are captives. So we feel sorry for them, we feel pity for them. We will love them.
02:11 We will ask God for mercy. We will pray for mercy for them. And we will tell the truth to them in humbleness and.
02:18 And love. And we love them and we pray because love overcomes all. But the ruler of the world is Satan and is influencing the world.
02:28 And God says this ruler of the world is controlling and influencing. And that is why he said, you do not be a friend of the world, the world system. So even if people are controlling, people are doing the world
system and coming to you and all that you, even though you’re working somewhere and they’re having the world system, you will not partake, you will not partake of that.
02:50 You will do the righteous thing and if it the thing gets too much, God will find you another job. Is your faith in Christ to do that or you’re going to go sinning just because the world tell you to sin and you do
not want to believe Christ will take care of you. He said, I’ll never leave you or forsake you.
03:09 Now what happened here? You see when the devil came and tempted Jesus Christ and Jesus replied one of the things in the scriptures is Matthew 4, 10, the third temptation the devil is doing Satan attempting in the
third time regarding, you know, fall down and worship me and I’ll give you all this. Then Jesus said to him, away with you. In verse 10 says away with you.
03:35 That is the casting out. Get out. Jesus said to him, get out.
03:41 Away with you Satan. It is written you shall worship the Lord your God and him only you shall serve. So when the devil comes, the next time you say look, it is written you shall worship the Lord your God and him
only you shall serve.
03:54 Get out. That is the same thing Jesus has said before he left earth. He told what those who believe these signs will follow.
04:02 They will cast out evil spirits in my name. Evil spirit is not just big time deliverance as I said, not vomiting and throwing. Yeah, it can be part of that.
04:11 I said also because we have done all that in Jesus name and people set free. But there are other things that quietly visit a spirit of lying. Why do people lie? Out of fear.
04:23 Generally you lie no more. Fear cast out the spirit of fear. Fear is a spirit.
04:28 And then why do people lie? They want something, they want self seeking, self seeking. They put their hope and faith in the thing and they begin to lie and do all kinds of things. For instance, somebody has got into
debts because of their debts.
04:43 Why? Because we’re going and doing things that it is not for us. And then we didn’t trust Christ to provide for our well being, our well being. We didn’t trust Christ to provide for our well being, the things that
we need.
04:57 He said whatever you ask in my name, in my name twice repeated. Then the other thing is seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness first and all these things will be added. But we didn’t seek the kingdom of
God and righteousness.
05:12 First we went and followed the world and then got ourselves in trouble. And then what happens to some people? They want to get money to settle that they begin to lie to others. I will give you back tomorrow.
05:23 Oh I will give you back to next week. I am getting the money. All these are lies.
05:29 You are telling the future what will happen. If you’re telling the future, it will happen. That means you’re a great prophet.
05:35 You know the future. You wouldn’t be in that position in the first place. So the devil, the spirit of lie is taking over you.
05:43 Why? The spirit of fear has taken over you. So you have to cast it out. Away with you.
05:48 Jesus said and he said, those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirit, evil spirit of lying, evil spirit of fear. And let us seek the kingdom of God, righteousness first.
05:59 Now in Matthew, it didn’t say in Luke, in the same scenario, God is explaining through the Bible what Luke has recorded about what happened at that time. After the three temptations. And of course Jesus get away,
the devil left.
06:21 But Jesus said in Matthew, away with two. That means he’s casting out now get out. In Jesus name.
06:26 In our case, Jesus name. Because Jesus given us a power. At the time, Satan still had the power, but Jesus had the Holy Spirit and the power of Father God in him.
06:36 So when he away with you, Satan had to go. Now in our case, Jesus has taken the power out of Satan on the day in Calvary and then given it to his children. That is us.
06:45 Those who believe will have this power, will cast out the evil spirit. But you know What? In Luke 14:4 13, Luke 4:13, it says when the devil had ended every temptation. Same, same scene, same, same picture, same
event going on, tempted three times.
07:07 And all Luke is saying when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. Until an opportune time he just departed from. Yes, when God said, Jesus said, away with you, get out.
07:27 He departed. But he’s waiting for an opportunity. An opportune time, a favorable time, a better time.
07:33 The devil is still waiting at that time. Can you imagine? So come back to come back and tempt Jesus. To come back and tempt Jesus.
07:42 He’s waiting for an opportune time. So whenever we cast out the evil spirit, he will go back and still waiting. How to now come and attack us and tempt us at an opportune time.
07:55 So remember he did that to Jesus Christ. He waited until an opportune time. Now when did the opportune time come? That is stated in John 14:3 0, 30.
08:07 14:33. I will no longer. Jesus is in the garden of Gethsemane.
08:12 In the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus is all the sins he knows. Remember, God says his sweat became like drops of blood.
08:24 His sweat became like drops of blood. All the sins are coming because he’s taking all our sins. The sins that I was going to commit later, he’s taking it on that cross the day.
08:36 But I need to confess and repent. And then only the thing works for me now. If I committed a sin now, the sin doesn’t leave me.
08:45 I have to repent. I say, sorry, Lord, I have done this. I have to be identified.
08:45 I have to acknowledge I have done this. Then when I say I am sorry, Lord, I changed my way of thinking. I don’t want to do this anymore.
08:56 Then automatically the blood of Christ washes. He is faithful to wash our sins. But that sin that I did in 1994 but 2000 years ago, he’s already taking it on the in the Garden of Gethsemane.
09:15 All are coming to him because Jesus is God. No time and space and time, space continuum and all that don’t have. He can go anytime.
09:24 He goes backwards to time, forward to time. He’s God. He was, is and ever will be now.
09:29 But at the time he is not using his power as God. He is using, he is tempted as a man. The temptation coming.
09:38 So his sweat became so much of temptation, so much of fear and oil coming. Every spirit of fear will be attacking him, vexing him, torturing him. So much so he is struggling there.
09:50 And then his sweat became like blood. And all this he did for me, he did for you. Brother and sister, remember this.
09:58 Whenever you are suffering, you think of the suffering that Jesus went through. He was so suffering that his sweat became like drops of blood. Oh, why? So that he said he can fulfill.
10:14 I will never leave you or forsake you to do that. He had to go through that. So all the fear, demons, all the demons are coming upon him.
10:24 All the sin is coming upon him. All my curses are coming upon him. All the curses of the billions of people that are going to exist later, and I don’t know how many billion existed earlier, all the sins are coming
on him, all the curses are coming on him.
10:38 Everything coming and loading on this one man, the Son of man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If you just take a moment and listen to this and think and meditate. What a God.
10:50 The husband of my soul paid this price for me. I will submit to him completely, knowing he’s a true husband of my soul, He’s a true God, he truly loves me. Ah, when you begin to meditate this thing, all these
problems you’re facing will disappear now.
11:09 For what is the Discussion at this point here 14:30 says, the ruler of this world is coming. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. Ruler of the world is Satan.
11:22 He’s coming and he has nothing in me. This is Jesus Christ saying, you know, I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in me. Now, yesterday we talked about the
devil.
11:38 Still talking, talking, talking, talking all over the place. Radio, TV games, video play video, computer games, billboards, whatever, using the world, people, the people where he has control. Some people of the
world, they will talk to you.
11:55 So worldly people who do not have not accepted Christ, their blindness, their veil over their eyes, they will talk worldly ways. They will simply say, what is so important in the world and this and that, not
realizing that Jesus has settled us all that they do not know. So we feel sorry for them, we love them.
12:12 We hope to make them understand our faith and belief, what has done for us. We do all that now. But Jesus said, the root of the world is coming.
12:22 He has nothing in me. What is nothing? No sin in him. He can find nothing.
12:28 Some translations will say, he has no power over me. Yes, true. Why no power over Jesus Christ? Because he has no sin in him.
12:38 If he had sin in him, definitely the devil would have whacked him. The day would have captured him. Because he was sinless.
12:47 The devil couldn’t do anything. Therefore he has nothing in me. He will find nothing in me.
12:51 Jesus is saying, and you know what? What a wonderful God. You see nothing in him. Yes, so that he can die and rise again sinless.
13:05 And his faith is in you. But you know when the devil came? The point I’m trying to make here is the devil came and an opportune time, he says, at the time when Jesus is vexed, is burdened, carrying everybody’s sin,
all the curses are coming, all the demons are gathering. All, all the things.
13:24 Waxing and vexing and vexing and trouble. In trouble and trouble. And burden.
13:28 Burden. That’s when Satan came. That’s when the devil came.
13:32 That was considered opportune time, favorable time. The devil considers that an opportune time. A favorable time.
13:39 So when you’re vexed and carrying burden after burden and thinking of the burden, no righteousness, peace and joy. He will come. When you don’t have righteousness, peace and joy.
13:49 He will come because he knows your burden. And he considers that an opportune time, a favorable time. He will whack you the time so you please I also, I remind myself when I’m speaking all this.
14:01 I must seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first. And all these things were added a house homemaker every day waiting for the husband to come back. Trouble, trouble.
14:10 Oh, this went wrong. The washing machine went wrong today. Oh, the sun didn’t come up and the clothes all got wet again in the rain.
14:17 Oh, my child is crying. There another child is doing all the waxing and waxing and waxing and waxing. Cares of the world taking over.
14:25 Trouble, trouble, trouble. What’s happening? Waxing and waxing. Burden and burden.
14:30 The devil will come to tempt you, to tempt you and say your husband is useless. Your husband is this, your husband is that. No, brother and sister, don’t listen to this.
14:42 First seek the kingdom of God. Get to Christ. Cast all your cares and burdens upon him.
14:47 For Jesus Christ cares for you. He loves you and cares for you. So you cast all your cares and burdens upon your sisters.
14:55 So just because you’re sitting in the house doesn’t mean you’re not wet. You’re burdened too. Jesus knows this.
15:01 And then in the of office the man goes and works. I used to think like this. Now what my wife does, I only working.
15:07 I only doing this. I am the one carrying all the money. She was also working the time.
15:10 But I’m not bothered about that. I’m only bothered about how hard it is for me. How hard it was work for me.
15:15 And I will consider her. How hard it is for her. So then what happens? So when I consider hard, hard, hard, the devil comes and tempts me.
15:25 That’s the time that before I ever came to the Lord. So brothers and sisters today, do not allow vexation burden to overtake you. Get front to Christ and hide in his love.
15:35 In Jesus name I pray, cast all your cares to him. Amen.
