Live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! "It Is Written"

Live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!

As I read in the book of Matthew this morning I paid close attention to the genealogy of Jesus.

From Adam throughout the ages, to the birth of Jesus…we see the sons of God…

Then I read that, after Jesus, was baptized he was driven into the desert to be tempted by the devil…after fasting 40 days and 40 nights of fasting, it says Jesus got hungry…then the devil came and tempted him with, “If you be the son of God…turn these stones into bread…


Jesus said…It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God…

Then the devil tempts him again…If you are, the son of God…cast yourself down, (he knew the word of God, but misquoted it) Satan always twists the word of God… for it is written, he said… 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 again, It is, written, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (Jesus said to the devil that He is the Lord thy God.)

The devil knew Jesus was the son of God…(Satan is arrogant and full of pride, his downfall.)

The devil takes him to a high mountain and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and says, “All these I will give you if you will fall down and worship me.” He is the ruler of this world but He has no power over us unless we give it to him. Jesus is the Lord our God!

Jesus says, “Get thee hence Satan, in other words, get lost Satan…FOR IT IS WRITTEN THOU (you Satan) SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE! Jesus was saying, Look Satan, I don't worship you, you are to worship God only and serve Him only. (whew that is powerful)
Jesus passed his test…

The devil left him…praise God, when we speak the word with power and authority which is given by Jesus Christ, the devil has to leave…
Then the passage says, The angels came and ministered unto Jesus. Matthew 1-4
And they will do the same for us.

We are not strong enough to withstand the enemy on our own and God knew that we would need a savior and the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the tactics of the devil…

The most important thing we as followers of Jesus Christ must do is read and know God’s word.

We need to know what the word of God says and we need to say it…the only way to know it, is to read it and study it…We need the word of God to sustain us each and every day just as we eat bread and live, the word of God is the bread of life…we can’t just live on natural bread…we must eat the bread of life…feast on His word…That is Jesus the son of God. Amen!

I can do all things...through Christ Jesus who strengthens me...Yes we can!
