The Temptation of Jesus by Satan's comment on 2020-07-02 01:12:05:

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

This is the chapter of Jesus after his baptism he fasted for 40 days and nights. Satan is out there tempting him.

Jesus is showing us WHO the tempter is: he uses lies, he offered to give kingdoms of the world to THE CREATOR of the world. Satan can only create chaosas we have seen in our American cities recently.

Also, Jesus is demonstrating TO US how to react to spiritual attacks on us, our loved ones. Ephesians 6, shows us how to fight back against spiritual warfare also.

Jesus wants us to learn this, AND teach it to other Christians. Jesus did not leave us here defenseless.

Like I did some time back: Follow Jesus through scripture and SEE how he does things; what he said, how he preached the Gospel. How he fought back at the demons and the religious people who had no knowledge of WHO Jesus is!

We're not just saved to sit around in wedding apparel. We have to have our Armor over it too. Be ready for anything.
