The word for today is -Every (part # 2)

Good morning,
The word for today is -Every (part # 2)

Why does Matthew chapter 4 tell us about Jesus being tempted by the devil, read it, Matthew 4:1-4,Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Now lets look at this,Jesus was led by the Spirit first, the Spirit of God. Then why? You see Jesus was tested he was tempted by the devil.He ate nothing during those forty days,and at the end of them he was hungry. So,the devil says,follow me I will give you the kingdom of this world. Read it in Luke 4:5-8,And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Get this, Jesus was "full of the Holy Spirit;" and it was by the Spirit,that he went into the desert to be tempted. You have to get this, it was evidents that nothing could move Jesus from the will of God, he could not be seduced from allegiance to God. Do you see, we are to be more like Him. Nothing and No One should move us from being in the presents with God. You should be walking in the manifestation of the divine Spirit of God. The temptation of the devil is moving all around us everyday, but the Spirit of God is dwelling in is to over take that Spirit. The first Adam fell for the trick, but the second Adam had the power of God dwelling within Him. You have that same power to speak to Satan also. Get behind me Satan,If you are a believer its in verse 8, And Jesus answered and said unto him,Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Thats the power thats within you and I. It does not stop the temptation, he will return, its in the word, read verse 13, And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. Just for a season, we to know the mindset and the methods of our enemy,the Devil, we are forewarned, he will return with another trick. So put of your“full armor of God” so that you will be able to stand in the battlefield. Stand firm, on the word of God,with the word you will be able to withstand his attack or attacks when they come. It may not be you season to be attack, but always have on your armor, because he will return. Read Ephesians 6:10-13, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Through all of this, we have to understand that Jesus had the power to change His circumstances, but it was not about Him. It was about the will of God, He was led by the Spirit. You see God knows the heart of every person. It was all about being obedience or disobedience to the Spirit of God, and knowing that the Spirit of God is always with you, just like Jesus the Spirit dwell within Him. Read Deuteronomy 8:1-3,All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. Lord, I live by every word that you have spoke to me for my life !!!! Ask yourself the question, is the word of God fulfilling your life ? You see every word of God is truth !!! Read Numbers 23:19,God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? So, everything will and has come to past this far and yet to come ! Now read Genesis 28:15,And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. Wow, thats God talking to us!!!! Thank you Lord for your word.
