JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNTAD DEL PADRE/JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 2.2 Español/English

JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNDAD DEL PADRE por Doyle Davidson, Capítulo 2.2

Dios Nos Oye Siempre

Cuando  empecé a estudiar la vida del Señor Jesucristo, Yo escribí como 24 características acerca de Su vida. Una de las características que siempre me asombró fue como Jesús se comportó en la tierra. Vi como Él tenía una comunicación perfecta con el Padre.

Mira en Juan 11:41-42. Recuerdo cuando el Padre me estaba enseñando estos versos. Es tan vivo en mi corazón, es casi como si fuera ayer. Quiero leerte algo que todavía me sorprende:

⁴¹ Entonces quitaron la piedra de donde había sido puesto el muerto [Lázaro]. Y Jesús, alzando los ojos a lo alto, dijo:—Padre, gracias te doy por haberme oído. 

⁴² Yo sé que siempre me oyes; pero lo dije por causa de la multitud que está alrededor, para que crean que tú me has enviado.

¿Puedes creer que Dios te oye siempre? ¿Está eso dentro en tu corazón? ¿Es  algo qué la tradición religiosa te ha enseñado? O ¿Te han enseñado qué Dios retira su presencia de ti, qué esconde Su rostro de ti y quiere que sufras? 

¿Sabes qué Dios te oye siempre? No te pregunté si crees estos versos o entiendes estos versículos.Te pregunté si sabes que Él te oye siempre.

Si tú sabes que Dios te oye siempre, tú no siempre tendrás miedo. Tú no orarás y luego preguntas: "Dios, ¿Oíste eso?" Él te oye siempre.

Jesús  dijo: "Yo sé que tú siempre me oyes". 1 Juan 2:6 dice que si permanece en Jesús,  debería también andar como él anduvo. Si tú caminas como Él caminó, tú sabes que el Padre te oye siempre.

Si tú puedes recibir esto en tu espíritu y crees que Dios te oye siempre, vencerás tu duda e incredulidad. ¡Dios te oye siempre! Si Dios te oye siempre, tú no tienes  otra cosa de que preocuparte.

La Iglesia No Cree

A veces me siento absolutamente abrumado con la ceguera de los guías religiosos de Américay las herejías que enseñan. Si en verdad creyeran que Jesús es nuestro ejemplo, que deberíamos caminar como Él caminó y llegará un día cuando seremos juzgados de acuerdo a Jesucristo y Su justicia, ellos cambiarían su enfoque entero acerca de Cristianismo. No hay manera de que tú creas en Dios y dices que crees en Dios y no camines como Jesús caminó. Es imposible.

Tú dices: "Bien, Doyle, Yo no pienso así. Yo no creo que Dios me oye siempre.Yo no soy digno. Yo no soy así". Ese es todo tu problema. Tú no crees que Jesucristo es tú ejemplo.

La iglesia no cree que Jesús murió por ti y que resucitó. La iglesia no cree que Él te santificó y te separó para Dios, que Él te hizo rey y sacerdote en esta tierra y que tú puedes reinar y gobernar en esta vida por medio de un Cristo Jesús. La iglesia no cree esto.

Tenemos maestros falsos que perpetrando falsas doctrinas en la iglesia de América. Estas falsas doctrinas son aceptadas y habladas en el nombre de Jesús continuamente y la gente abraza con todo el corazón estas doctrinas. Yo solía creer en ellos también, pero ya no lo hago. No tengo tiempo para doctrinas falsas.

Dios Oye Mis Oraciones

Jesús dijo que Él sabía que el Padre lo oía siempre. Cuando Dios me estaba enseñando esto en 1973, yo estaba abrumado con el pensamiento de que Dios me oiría  siempre. Entonces un día, me quedé meditando sobre el hecho de que Dios me escucha y me oye y sus oídos están abiertos a mis oraciones.

Cuando estaba meditando en esto y como Jesús dijo que Él sabía que el Padre lo oía siempre, de repente pensé, y sé que El Espíritu Santo me reveló esto, "Dios tiene un registro de todos mis pecados y Él oye toda palabra injusta que hablo. Si, como Jesús dice en Mateos 12:36, yo tengo que dar cuenta de cada palabra ociosa que hablo, entonces seguramente Dios escucha mis oraciones, también".

Sin embargo la gente religiosa tiene un modo extraño para orar. Ellos oran como si Dios estuviera de viaje o no quiere oírlos. Ellos hacen sonar que es muy difícil entrar al cielo, cuando  en realidad no hay ningún problema en absoluto. Todo lo que debes hacer es ir audazmente al cielo con la sangre de Jesús. Tú puedes estar ahí cada vez que quieras. De hecho, tú deberías vivir ahí.

Pero cuando estaba meditando, el Espíritu de Dios empezó a aclararme en mi corazón y sacar la basura religiosa de mi. Él empezó a enseñarme que Jesús conocía al Padre y siempre lo oía, tú y yo podemos conocerlo también. Es tremendo saber que el Padre siempre te oirá.

JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 2.2

God Hears Us Always

As I began to study the life of the Lord Jesus, I wrote down 24 or so characteristics about His life.  One of the characteristics that always astonished me was the way Jesus conducted Himself on the earth.  I saw that He had perfect communication with the Father.

Look at John 11:41-42.  I remember when the Father was teaching me these verses.  It is so vivid in my heart, it is almost like it was yesterday.  I want you to read something that still amazes me:

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead [Lazarus] was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me (v. 41).

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me (v. 42).

Can you believe that God hears you always?  Is that within your heart?  Is that something religious tradition has taught you? Or have you been taught that God withdraws His presence from you, hides His face from you, and wants you to suffer?

 Do you know that God hears you always?  I did not ask if you believe these verses or understand these verses.  I asked if you know that He hears you always.

If you know that God hears you always, you will not always be afraid.  You will not pray and then ask, "God,did You hear that?"  He hears you always.

Jesus said, "I know that thou hearest me always." I John 2:6 says that if you say that you abide in Jesus, you ought also so to walk even as He walked.  If you walk even as He walked, you know that the Father hears you always.

If you can receive this in your spirit and believe that God hears you always, you will overcome your doubt and unbelief.  God hears you always!  If God hears you always, you do not have another thing to worry about.

The Church Does Not Believe

I am absolutely overwhelmed sometimes with the blindness of the religious guides of America and the heresies they teach.  If they really believed that Jesus is our example, that we should walk as He walked, and that there is a day coming when we will be judged  according to Jesus and His righteousness, they would change their entire approach to Christianity.  There is no way that you can believe God and say that you believe God and not walk as Jesus walked.  It is impossible.

You say, "Well, Doyle, I don't think like that. I don't believe that God hears me always.  I'm not worthy.  I'm not like that."  That is your whole problem.  You do not believe that Jesus is your example.

The church does not believe that Jesus died for you and that He rose again.  The church does not believe that He sanctified you and set you apart to God, that He made you a king and priest in this earth, and that you can reign and rule in this life through one Christ Jesus.  The church does not believe that.

We have false teachers perpetrating false doctrines in the church in America.  These false doctrines are accepted and spoken in Jesus' name constantly, and people embrace those doctrines wholeheartedly. I used to believe them also, but I do not anymore.  I do not have time for false doctrines.

God Hears My Prayers

Jesus said that He knew that the Father heard Him always. When God was teaching me this in 1973, I was overwhelmed with the thought that God would hear me always. Then one day, I sat meditating about the fact that God listens to me and hears me and that His ears are open to our prayers.

As I was meditating on this and on how Jesus said that He knew the Father heard him always, I suddenly thought--and I know the Holy Spirit revealed this to me, "God has a record of all my sins, and He hears every unjust word that I speak.  If, as Jesus states in Matthew 12:36, I must give account for every idle word that I speak, then surely God hears my prayers, too."

Religious people have a strange way of praying, however. They pray like God is on a journey or does not want to hear them.  They make it sound so difficult to get to heaven, when actually there is no problem at all.  All you have to do is go boldly into heaven by the blood of Jesus.  You can be there any time you want to.  In fact, you should live there.

But as I was meditating, the Spirit of God began to clear my heart and take the religious garbage out of me.  He began to teach me that Jesus knew the Father and heard Him always, and that you and I can know Him, too.  It is tremendous to know that the Father will always hear you.

JESUS A FAIT LA VOLONTE DU PERE/JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL, by Doyle Davidson - Chapt. 2.2 - Français/English

JESUSA FAIT LA VOLONTE DE DIEU, par Doyle Davidson

Chapitre 2.2 - Jésus Communiquait avec le Père

Dieu nous entend toujours 

Lorsque j'ai commencé à étudier la vie du Seigneur Jésus, j'ai relevé environ 24 aspects de Sa Vie. Il y en a un qui m'a toujours étonné, c'est celui dont Jésus s'est conduit sur terre. J'ai constaté qu'il entretenait une communication parfaite avec le Père.

Regardez Jean 11:41-42.  Je me rappelle quand le Père m'a enseigné ces versets. Je m'en souviens comme ci c'était hier. Je veux que vous les lisiez car, à ce jour, ils m'étonnent toujours autant :

Ils ôtèrent donc la pierre du lieu où le mort [Lazare] était couché. Et Jésus leva les yeux en haut et dit : Père, je te rends grâces de ce que tu m'as entendu. (v.41) Or moi je savais que tu m'entends toujours ; mais je l'ai dit à cause de la foule qui est autour de moi, afin qu'ils croient que toi, tu m'a envoyé. (v.42)

Pouvez-vous croire que Dieu vous entend toujours ? Cette parole est-elle dans votre cœur ? La religion vous l'a-t-elle enseignée ? Ou vous a-t-on enseigné que Dieu retire Sa présence de vous, qu'il cache sa face devant vous et qu'il souhaite que vous souffriez ?

Savez-vous que Dieu vous entend toujours ? Je ne vous ai pas demandé si vous croyez ces versets ou si vous les comprenez. Je vous ai demandé si vous savez qu'Il vous entend toujours.

Si vous savez que Dieu vous entend toujours, vous n'aurez plus jamais peur. Vous ne prierez plus, en vous demandant : ''Dieu as-tu entendu ma prière?'' Il vous entend toujours.

Jésus a dit : ''Je sais que tu m'entends toujours.'' 1 Jean2:6 dit : Celui qui dit demeurer en lui, doit lui-même aussi marcher comme lui a marché.'' Si vous marchez comme Lui  a marché, vous savez que le Père vous entend toujours.

Si vous pouvez recevoir cette parole dans votre esprit et croire que Dieu vous entend toujours, vous vaincrez le doute et l'incrédulité. Dieu vous entend toujours ! Si Dieu vous entend toujours, vous n'avez plus de soucis à vous faire.

L'Eglise ne croit pas 

Parfois il m'arrive d'être complètement dépassé par l'aveuglement des guides religieux d'Amérique et par les hérésies qu'ils enseignent. Si ils croyaient réellement que Jésus est notre exemple, et que nous devons marcher comme Lui a marché, et qu'il arrivera un jour où nous serons jugés selon Jésus et Sa justice, ils changeraient entièrement leur approche à la Chrétienté. Il est impossible de croire en Dieu et d'affirmer que l'on croit en Dieu alors que l'on ne marche pas comme Jésus a marché. C'est impossible.

Vous dites : ''Doyle je ne penses pas ainsi. Je ne crois pas que Dieu m'entend toujours. Je ne suis pas digne. Je ne suis pas comme cela.'' C'est tout votre problème. Vous ne croyez pas que Jésus est votre exemple.

L'église ne croit pas que Jésus est mort pour nous, et qu'il est ressuscité.L'église ne croit pas qu'Il nous a sanctifié et mis à part pour Dieu, qu'Il nous a fait roi et prêtre sur la terre, et que nous régnerons et dominerons dans cette vie par un, Jésus Christ. L'église ne croit pas cela.

Nous avons de faux enseignants qui perpétuent de fausses doctrines dans l'église d'Amérique. Ces fausses doctrines sont acceptées et enseignées constamment au nom de Jésus, et les gens les embrassent de tout leur cœur. Moi aussi je les ai cru, mais je ne les crois plus à présent. Je n'ai plus le temps pour les fausses doctrines.

Dieu entend mes prières 

Jésus a dit qu'Il savait que le Père l'entendait toujours. Lorsque Dieu m'a enseigné cette parole en 1973, j'ai été complètement dépassé à l'idée que Dieu m'entendait toujours. Puis un jour, je me suis assis pour méditer sur le fait que Dieu m'écoute et m'entend et que Ses oreilles sont ouvertes à nos prières.

Pendant que je méditais à ce sujet et sur la façon dont Jésus a dit qu'Il savait que le Père l'entendait toujours, cette pensée m'est venue soudainement à l'esprit – et je sais que c'est le Saint Esprit qui me l'a révélée : ''Dieu a enregistré tous mes péchés, et Il entend tous les mots injustes que je prononce. Si, comme Jésus déclare dans Matthieu 12:36, que je dois rendre compte de toutes les paroles oisives que je prononce, surement Dieu entend mes prières aussi. ''

Les gens religieux ont une façon bien étrange de prier. Ils prient comme si Dieu était parti en villégiature et qu'il ne les entend pas. Ils rendent l'accès aux cieux tellement difficile, alors que c'est si simple. La seule chose que nous avons à faire c'est d'entrer avec hardiesse dans les cieux par le sang de Jésus. C'est accessible chaque fois que nous le souhaitons. Mais plus encore, nous devrions y vivre.

Alors que je méditais, l'Esprit de Dieu a commencé à débarrasser mon cœur de tous ces détritus religieux. Il a commencé par m'enseigner que Jésus connaissait le Père et qu'Il l'entendait toujours, et que, vous et moi, nous pouvons Le connaître aussi. C'est formidable de savoir que le Père nous entend toujours.

ISUS A FĂCUT VOIA TATĂLUI/JESUS DID THE FATHER’S WILL by Doyle Davidson Chapter 3 Part 2 română/engleză

Toate Împărățiile Lumii, Capitolul 3 Partea 2

Luca 4:5 continuă:

Diavolul L-a suit pe un munte înalt, i-a arătat într-o clipă, toate împărățiile pământului.

Oamenii religioși spun că diavolul nu putea să îl ducă de nas pe Isus. Ei spun, “El nu poate nici măcar să mă ducă de nas pe mine; eu sunt răscumpărat prin sângele lui Isus.” Poți să fii răscumpărat prin sânge, dar înainte ca Isus să moară, să fie îngropat și să învie din nou, El l-a biruit pe diavol și pentru a-l birui pe diavol, a trebuit să fie dus sus pe acel munte.

Uitați-vă din nou la Luca 4:5:

...i-a arătat într-o clipă, toate împărățiile pământului (v. 5).

Și diavolul l-a spus (v. 6),...

Unii oameni sunt atât de “sfinți” încât nu cred că diavolul poate vorbi cu ei. Diavolul l-a spus Lui Isus:

...Ție Îți voi da toată puterea [autoritatea] și slava acestor împărății... (v. 6).

Toată puterea, toată autoritatea asupra ce? Asupra tuturor împărățiilor lumii, și toată onoarea care vine cu ele. Diavolul vorbea cu Omul din ceruri, Isus. Și știa cine era El.

Am auzit oameni spunând că diavolul nu știa cine era Isus până când Tatăl a spus, “Tu ești Fiul Meu preaiubit; în Tine Îmi găsesc toată plăcerea Mea.” Dacă e așa, de ce diavolu, prin regele Irod, a încercat să Îl omoare pe Isus când acesta era copil? Oamenii mă uimesc cu ignoranța lor.

Diavolul a continuat, în Luca 4:6:

...căci mie îmi este dată;...

Cine i-a dat această autoritate diavolului? Adam, atunci când nu L-a ascultat pe Dumnezeu. A fost voia Lui Dumnezeu ca Adam să nu se supună Lui. A fost parte din planul Lui Dumnezeu să împace omul cu El Însuși, după ce Adam nu l s-a supus. Ceea ce e și mai uimitor este că Dumnezeu a avut acest plan încă de atunci când a creat pământul. Ne vom uita la planul Lui Dumnezeu în următoarea noastră carte, “Planul Lui Dumnezeu pentru împăcare.”

Voi Da Oricui Voiesc

Iar apoi diavolul a spus, în Luca 4:6:

...și o dau oricui voiesc.

Oamenii religioși vă vor spune că diavolul nu poate spune adevărul, și că orice spune este o minciună. Dacă acest lucru era adevărat, Isus ar fi trebuit să îi spună pur și simplu că este un mincinos. Fie Isus era confuz, fie oamenii religioși au o problemă cu Biblia.

Satana a încheiat așa, în Luca 4:7:

...Dacă, dar, Te vei închina înaintea mea, toată va fi a Ta.

Isus a postit pentru 40 de zile, a fost ispitit de diavol, și apoi diavolul l-a spus că îi va da Lui toată puterea--autoritoatea--asupra tuturor împărățiilor lumi.

Isus a fost însă un rob drept, și Tatăl știa că El nu va fi înfrânt. De ce? Pentru că Isaia 42:1 spune că Tatăl L-a făcut pe Isus să stea drept.

Uitați-vă la Isaia 42:1:

Iată Robul Meu, pe care-L sprijin, Alesul Meu, în care Își găsește plaăcere sufletul Meu. Am pus Duhul Meu peste El; El va vesti neamurilor judecata.

Aceasta este o profeție despre Isus. În această profeție, Dumnezeu spune că Îl susține pe Isus. Duhul Sfânt L-a condus pe Isus în pustie pentru a fi ispitit de diavol pentru 40 de zile, și la sfârșitul acestei perioade, Satana a spus, “Dacă, dar, Te vei închina înaintea mea, toată va fi a Ta.”

Să Te Închini Domnului, Dumnezeului Tău

Uitați-vă la răspunsul lui Isus, în Luca 4:8:

Drept răspuns, Isus i-a zis,...

Din nou, Isus nu a citat pur și simplu din Deuteronom 6:13. În Ioan 6:63, Isus a spus, “Cuvintele, pe care vi le-am spus Eu sunt duh și viață.” Duhul Sfânt l-a dat Lui Isus cuvintele ca să vorbească:

...Înapoia Mea, Satano, Este scris: Să te închini Domnului, Dumnezeului tău, și numai Lui să-l slujești (v. 8).

Satana a spus, “Ești oboist, ești înfometat, ești aici de 40 de zile; acum te voi onora și nu va mai trebui să treci prin asta.” Nu știu să fi spus exact asta, dar putea foarte bine să o fi făcut.

Fiecare pastor va fi adus față în față cu această situație. Veți fi tentați să nu vă folosiți corect autoritatea, și Satana se va oferi să vă onoreze. Tot ce trebuie să faceți este să compromiteți Evanghelia și să vă închinați organizațillor religioase--duhurilor religioase, iar Satana vă va avea. El vă va onora și pe voi. Asta se va întâmpla Americii. Asta este ceea ce s-a întâmplat în toată lumea.

Oamenii religioși mi-au spus că fără ajutorul oamenilor u aș ajunge nicăieri. Dumnezeu mi-a spus că dacă m-aș baza pe suportul oamenilor, nu aș ajunge nicăieri. Așa că am spus, “Amin, Isus, haide să mergem mai departe.”

Să Nu Ispitești Pe Domnul, Dumnezeul Tău

Cea de-a treia ispită despre care citim este în Luca 4:9:

Diavolul L-a dus apoi în lerusalim, L-a așezat pe streașina acoperișului Templului și l-a zis: Dacă ești Fiul lui Dumnezeu, aruncă-Te jos de aici (v. 9).

Căci este scris: El va porunci îngerilor Lui să Te păzească (v. 10).

Și ei Te vor lua pe mâini, ca nu cumva să Te lovești cu piciorul de vreo piatră (v. 11).

Isus i-a răspuns: S-a spus: ‘S-a nu ispitești pe Domnul, Dumnezeu tău (v. 12).

După ce L-a ispitit în toate felurile, diavolul a plecat de la El, până la o vreme (v. 13).

În alte cuvinte, Satana l-a spus Lui Isus, “Ei bine, mi-ai citat Scriptura, acum o să citez și eu din ea. Sari, pentru că este scris ca Dumnezeu Ți-a dat îngeri care să te păzească și să te ridice. Voi cita și eu Cuvântul, așa cum ai făcut și tu.”

Ce a făcut Satana? A scos Scriptura din context; a sucit-o și a învârtit-o, fiindcă asta este calea diavolului. Nu contează cine ești; dacă răstălmăcești Scriptura, Satana vorbește prin gura ta.

Isus a răspuns, “...Să nu ispitești pe Domnul, Dumnezeul tău.” Să răstălmăcești Scriptura, să o scoți din context și să o aplici în mod incorect, aceste lucruri sunt cele ce Îl ispitesc pe Dumnezeu.

All the Kingdoms of the World, by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 3 Part 2

Luke 4:5 continues:

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

Religious people say that the devil could not lead Jesus around. They say, “He cannot even lead me: I am ‘blood bought.’ “ You may be “blood bought,” but before Jesus died, and was buried, and rose again, He overcame the devil, and to overcome the devil, He had to be taken up on that mountain.

Look at Luke 4:5 again:

...Shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time (v. 5).

And the devil said unto him (v. 6),...

Some people are so “holy” that they do not think that the devil can talk to them. The devil said unto Jesus:

...All this power [authority] will I give thee, and the glory of them...(v. 6):

All the power, all the authority of what? All the kingdoms of the world, and all the honor that goes with them. The devil was talking to the Man from heaven, Jesus. And he knew who He was.

I have heard people say that the devil did not know who Jesus was until the Father said, “Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” If that is so, why did the devil, through King Herod, try to kill Jesus as an infant? People amaze me with their ignorance.

The devil continued, in Luke 4:6:

...For that is delivered unto me;...

Who delivered the authority to the devil? Adam, when he disobeyed God. It was the will of God that Adam disobey Him. It was part of God’s plan to reconcile man to Himself that Adam disobey Him. Even more amazing is that God had His plan from the foundation of the earth. We will look at God’s plan in our next book, “God’s Plan For Reconciliation.”

Whosoever I Will I Give it

Then the devil said, in Luke 4:6:

...And to whomsoever I will I give it.

Religious people will tell you that the devil cannot speak the truth, and that everything he says is a lie. If that is true, Jesus should simply have called him a liar. Either Jesus was confused, or religious people have a problem with the Bible.

Satan finished, in Luke 4:7:

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Jesus had fasted 40 days, being tempted of the devil, and then the devil told him he would give Him the power--the authority--over all the kingdoms of the world.

Jesus was a righteous servant, however, and the Father knew He was not going to fall. Why? Because Isaiah 42:1 says that the Father made Jesus stand.

Look at Isaiah 42:1:

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

This is a prophecy about Jesus. In this prophecy, God says that He upholds Jesus. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil 40 days, and at the end of that time, Satan said, “if thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.”

Worship the Lord thy God

Look at Jesus’ answer, in Luke 4:8:

And Jesus answered and said unto him,...

Again, Jesus did not simply quote Deuteronomy 6:13. In John 6:63, Jesus said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The Holy Spirit gave Jesus the words to speak:

...Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (v. 8).

Satan said, “You are tired, you are hungry, you have been out here 40 days; now I will honor you and you will not have to go through this any longer.” I do not know that he said exactly that, but he might as well have.

Every minister will be brought face to face with this situation. You will be tempted to misuse authority, and you will have Satan offer to honor you. All you will have to do is compromise the gospel and bow down to religious organizations--to religious spirits, and Satan has you. He will honor you, too. That is what has happened in America. That is what has happened all over the world.

Religious people told me that without men’s support, I could go nowhere. God told me that if I relied on the support of men, I would not go anywhere. So I said, “Amen, Jesus, let’s go forward.”

Thou Shalt Not Tempt the Lord

The third temptation we read about is in Luke 4:9:

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence (v. 9):

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee (v. 10):

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone (v. 11).

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (v. 12).

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season (v. 13).

In other words, Satan was telling Jesus, “Well, you have been quoting scripture to me, now I am going to quote some to you. Jump off, because it is written that God has given His angels charge over you to bear you up. I will quote the Word just as you have.”

What did Satan do? He took the scripture out of context; he wrested it and twisted it, and that is the devil’s way. It does not matter who you are; if you twist scripture, Satan is speaking from your mouth.

Jesus answered, “...Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” To twist scripture, to take it out of context and misapply it, tempts God.
