Bless The Lord Oh My Soul

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

Have Thine Own Way Lord

Isaiah 55

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 35

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Amen!

Be of good Cheer, Jesus has overcome the world for us

I write this to encourage you for any present situation you may be in.
I have learned not to put my trust in the flesh as God instructs in Psalm 146-3
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
But to put my trust is God and Jesus alone and to pour out my heart before him,
Psalm 62-8
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
All of us have experienced tribulations and one key way out is to give him thanks and praise continually.
Psalm 146-2
2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
I am not in the habit of telling anyone my afflictions or tribulations as I am keenly aware they cannot help or get me out as my help comes from God alone. I can count on two fingers those that know many years of my past trials and overcoming’s. Sometimes God has had me in situations to deal with my pride or old man to refine me and change me into the image of his son. Other times it is to overcome one more power or principality or ruler in satan’s kingdom. (I am laughing as spell correct tells me to capitalize the S for satan. BS he gets a small s in my book) LOL. This is all for my sanctification and yours to learn to die to yourself and to live unto Jesus. It has all been his mercy, longsuffing and goodness towards me.
As Paul understood in writing to the Galatians. It is all for him to live move and have our entire existence walking in the spirit with Jesus and the Father and being a doer of the word and the works he has ordained for us.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
As I was pouring my heart tonight due to some adversity against me to the Lord he spoke this to encouragement
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
I want to encourage you to fight the good fight of faith, continually offer thanks and praise to him and he will not fail you and will bring you out. Humble yourselves as it is for your benefit if you are serious about being conformed into the image of Jesus and be the salt of the earth and light to the world in these troubled times.
Do you want the crown of life? Or just give lip service? I know I want and expect that crown! It is with his help and working through me to see all that he has promised me. I pray the same for you also. God knows what you are going through, Jesus is interceding for you and he is knows how to pray! Believe on him and the work he did and he will bring you through the fire. I have had the waters up to my neck many times and God is always faithful to see me through. I say this from experience from overcoming things in my body, at work to life in general and my enemies being put to shame. He will do the same for you.
Father, strengthen your people now and for the days ahead!
God bless you and keep you and may you come to know the fullness of Jesus Christ and God the Father.

ISUS A FĂCUT VOIA TATĂLUI/JESUS DID THE FATHER’S WILL by Doyle Davidson Chapter 5 Part 1 română/engleză

Făceți Voia Tatălui, Capitolul 5 Partea 1
În al patrulea capitol al cărții lui Ioan ucenicii Lui Isus au mers în oraș pentru a lua niște mâncare. Cât timp au fost plecați, Isus a vorbit cu femeia de la fântână. Când ucenicii au venit înapoi cu mâncarea, Isus a spus în Ioan 4:32:
Dar El le-a zis: Eu am de mâncat o mâncare pe care voi n-o cunoașteți (v. 32).
Ucenicii au început să-și zică deci unii altora: Nu cumva I-a adus cineva să mănânce (v. 33)?
Isus le-a zis: Mâncarea Mea este să fac voia Celui ce M-a trimis și să împlinesc lucrarea Lui (v. 34).
Isus a decis să facă voia Tatălui în loc să mănânce. Voi ați putea spune, “Nu vreau să mănânc; voi face voia Tatălui; aceasta este carnea mea,” și să renunțați la mâncat? Ați putea renunța la orice din viața dumneavoastră și să spuneți apoi, “Voi face voia Tatălui; aceasta este carnea mea; aceasta este puterea mea”? Asta e calea prin care Dumnezeu vă va ghida.
Profesorul vostru preferat ce vă poate învăța despre Biblie va veni în oraș, iar Dumnezeu vă va trimite să faceți altceva. Unii Creștini fug de la un seminar la următorul, de la un profesor la următorul. Nu știu dacă Dumnezeu vrea ca ei să meargă acolo sau nu. Profesorul lor preferat vine, iar ei trebuie, pur și simplu, să plece.
Să nu faceți din nimic sau din nimeni un idol. Să știți asta, că omul nu va trăi singur numai din pâine, ci din fiecare cuvânt care iese din gura Domnului.
Îl Puteți Auzi Pe Dumnezeu
Mergeți la Ioan 5:17-20. Acestea sunt niște versete remarcabile, iar oamenii care Îl vor urma pe Dumnezeu vor trebui să umble și să se comporte așa cum spun el. Rugăciunea mea petru America și pentru lume este ca Dumnezeu să Își deschidă urechile și ochii spre rasa umană, pentru ca oamenii să Îl audă și să Îl asculte pe Dumnezeu.
Voi puteți întreba, “De ce crezi că Îl poți auzi pe Dumnezeu?” Tot ce pot să vă spun este că Îl pot auzi, și nu mi-e rușine să spun asta. Dumnezeu mi-a îndrumat viața spre un loc în care Îl pot auzi și Îl pot asculta. Dacă asta pare prea mândru pentru voi, îmi pare rău. Dar dacă aveți destulă umilință, puteți spune măcar că dacă Isus L-a auzit pe Dumnezeu, atunci și eu pot.
Știu că unii oameni din jurul meu sunt uneori tulburați de forma prin care mă îndrumă Dumnezeu, dar să știți că e Dumnezeu cel ce mă îndrumă, iar părerea lor nu mă deranjează. Această slujire funcționează perfect, așa cum funcționa slujirea Lui Isus. Acestei slujiri nu îi lipsește nimic.
Pe lângă acestea, Dumnezeu mi-a spus acum șase sau șapte ani că nu mă va lăsa să fac nicio greșeală, iar eu Îl cred. Pe parcurs ce continui să umblu așa cum a umblat Isus, văd din ce în ce mai clar că nu e nevoie ca niciun creștin să trăiască în continuare în păcat, să facă greșeli, să cadă în erori, și să Îi lipsească Dumnezeu. Isus nu a trecut prin acestea, și El vrea ca nici vo să nu treceți.
Isus A Ignorat Sabatul
Ioan 5:17 începe:
Dar Isus le-a răspuns: Tatăl Meu lucrează până acum și Eu, de asemenea, lucrez (v. 17).
Tocmai de aceea căutau și mai mult iudeii sa-L omoare, nu numai fiindcă dezlega ziua Sabatului, dar și pentru că zicea că Dumnezeu este Tatăl Său și Se făcea, astfel, deopotrivă cu Dumnezeu (v. 18).
Versetul 18 spune că iudeii căutau să Îl omoare pe Isus pentru că a dezlegat ziua Sabatului. În Luca 16:16, totuși, Isus le-a Fariseilor că legea și profeții au fost predicate până la Ioan Botezătorul, dar că de atunci încoace se predică despre regatul Domnului.
Isus a ignorant Sabatul. A ignorant Cele Zece Porunci. De ce? Pentru că regatul Domnului a fost predicat de la Ioan Botezătorul încoace, nu legea. Biserica Americii trebuie să creadă asta.
Știați că după legile lui Moise, dacă Isus chiar a dezlegat ziua Sabatului, ar fi trebuit să plătească penalizare? Numai oamenii religioși cred că Isus a dezlegat Sabatul. Sabatul s-a încheiat odată cu predicarea regatului Lui Dumnezeu. De aceea Isus a putut face ceea ce a făcut.
Isus Nu A Făcut Nimic De La Sine
Ioan 5:19 continuă:
Isus a luat din nou cuvântul și le-a zis: Adevărat, adevărat vă spun că Fiul nu poate face nimic de la Sine; El nu face decât ce vede pe Tatăl făcând și tot ce face Tatăl, face și Fiul întocmai.
Aceasta este o declarație umilă: “Fiul nu poate face nimic de la Sine.”
Aceasta este forma prin care Isus a umblat pe pământ. El era Fiul Domnlui. El era Mesia. El era Dumnezeu. Conform Ioan 5:18, El a spus că Dumnezeu a fost Tatăl Său și s-a marcat pe El ca egalul Lui Dumnezeu.
Cu toate acestea, chiar dacă Isus era Dumnezeu, nu a făcut nimic de la Sine. Nimic. Nu a luat Vechiul Testament ca să îl predice și nici nu ar trebui să se ia acum Noul Testament că să se predice. El a făcut numai ceea ce I-a spus Tatăl. Nu a predicat decât dacă Tatăl L-a trimis.
Ce spune versetul 19? “Fiul nu poate predica nimic fără Tatăl.” S-ar putea ca voi să spuneți, “Dar nu spune asta.” Da, spune: “Fiul nu poate face nimic de la Sine, El nu face decât ce vede pe Tatăl făcând.”
Do The Will Of The Father, by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 5 Part 1
In the fourth chapter of the book of John, Jesus’ disciples had gone into the city to get some food. While they were gone, Jesus talked with the woman at the well. When the disciples came back with food, Jesus said in John 4:32:
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of (v. 32).
Therefore said his disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat (v. 33)?
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work (v. 34).
Jesus decided to do the will of the Father rather than eat. Could you say, “I do not want to eat; I am going to do the will of the Father; that is my meat,” and forego eating? Could you forego anything in your life and say, “I am going to do the will of the Father; that is my meat; that is my strength”? That is the way God will lead you.
Your favorite Bible teacher will come to town, and God will send you to do something else. Some Christians run from one seminar to the next, one Bible teacher to the next. They do not know if God wants then to go or not. Their favorite teacher comes, and they simply have to go.
Do not ever make anything or anyone an idol. Know this, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
You Can Hear God
Turn to John 5:17-20. These are remarkable verses, and people who are going to follow God will have to walk according to them. My prayer for America and the world is that God will open the ears and the eyes of the human race so people can hear and obey God.
You ask, “Why do you think you can hear God?” All I can tell you is that I can, and I am not ashamed to say so. God has brought my life to a place where I can hear Him and obey Him. If that seems proud to you, I am sorry. But if you have enough humility, you can at least say that if Jesus heard God, I can, too.
I know that some of the people around me are sometimes troubled by the way God leads me, but it is God, and they do not bother me. This ministry works perfectly, just as Jesus’ ministry did. This ministry lacks nothing.
In addition, God told me six or seven years ago that He would not let me make a mistake, and I believe Him. As I have continued to walk as Jesus walked, I see more and more clearly that Christians do not have to continue living in sin, making mistakes, falling into error, and missing God. Jesus did not, and He does not want you to, either.
Jesus Ignored the Sabbath
John 5:17 begins:
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work (v. 17).
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (v. 18).
Verse 18 says that the Jews sought to kill Jesus because He broke the sabbath. In Luke 16:16, however, Jesus told the Pharisees that the law and the prophet were preached until John the Baptist, but since then the kingdom of God is preached.
Jesus ignored the sabbath. He ignored all the Ten Commandments. Why? Because the kingdom of God was preached since John the Baptist, not the law. The church of America needs to believe that.
Did you know that under the law of Moses, if Jesus had actually broken the sabbath, He would have to pay the penalty? Only religious people believe that Jesus broke the sabbath. The sabbath ended with the preaching of the kingdom of God. That is why Jesus could do what He did.
Jesus Did Nothing of Himself
John 5:19 continues:
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
That is a humble statement: “The Son can do nothing of himself.”
That is the way Jesus walked in the earth. He was the Son of God. He was the Messiah. He was God. According to John 5:18, He said that God was His Father, making Himself equal to God.
Nevertheless, even though Jesus was God, He did nothing of Himself. Nothing. He did not take the Old Testament and preach nor should we take the New Testament and preach. He only did what the Father told Him to do. He never preached unless the Father sent Him.
What does verse 19 say? “The Son cannot preach anything without the Father.” You may say, “It does not say that.” Yes it does: “The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do.”

JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNTAD DEL PADRE/JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 3.3 Español/English

JESÚS HIZO LA VOLUNDAD DEL PADRE, Capítulo 3.3
Al Señor Tú Dios Adorarás

Mira la respuesta de Jesús en Lucas 4:8:

Respondiendo Jesús, le dijo:…

Otra vez, Jesús no simplemente citó Deuteronomio 6:13. En Juan 6:63, Jesús  dijo:  "Las palabras que yo os he hablado son espíritu y son vida". El Espíritu Santo le dio a Jesús las palabras para hablar:

—Vete de mí, Satanás, porque escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás y sólo a él servirás.”

Satanás dijo: "Tú estás cansado, tú tienes hambre, tú has estado aquí por 40 días;ahora yo te honoraré a ti y  no vas a tener que pasar por esto por más tiempo". Yo no sé, si esto fue lo que exactamente dijo, pero bien pudo haberlo  dicho.
Cada ministerio será traído cara a cara con esta situación.  Tú serás tentado para abusar de la autoridad y tú tendrás el ofrecimiento de Satanás, honorarte. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es comprometer el evangelio y arrodillarte a organizaciones religiosas (espíritus religiosos) y Satanás te tiene. Él te honorará, también. Eso es lo que ha pasado en América. Eso es lo que ha pasado en todo el mundo.

Las personas religiosas me dijeron que sin el apoyo de los hombres, No podría ir a ninguna parte. Dios me dijo que si dependo del apoyo de los hombres, yo  no iría a ninguna parte. Así  que dije: "Amen, Jesús vamos hacia adelante".

No Tentarás al Señor tu Dios

La tercera tentación que leemos está en Lucas 4:9:

Entonces lo llevó a Jerusalén, lo puso sobre el pináculo del Templo y le dijo:
—Si eres Hijo de Dios, tírate de aquí abajo, 

10 pues escrito está: “A sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti, que te guarden”, 

11 y “En las manos te sostendrán, para que no tropieces con tu pie en piedra.”

12 Respondiendo Jesús, le dijo:—Dicho está: “No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.”

13 Cuando acabó toda tentación el diablo, se apartó de él por un tiempo.

En otras palabras, Satanás le estaba diciendo a Jesús: "Bien, tú me has estado citando las escrituras, ahora voy a citarte algunas. Tírate, porque está escrito que Dios a sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti, que te guarden. Yo citaré la Palabra al igual que tú".  

¿Qué fue lo que  Satanás hizo? Él tomó la escritura fuera de contexto; él  la arrebató, la torció y así es el camino del diablo. No importa quién eres; si tú tuerces las escrituras, Satanás está hablando por tu boca. 

Jesús contestó.  “…No tentarás al Señor tu Dios".  Torcer escritura, sacarla del contexto y usarla incorrectamente, es tentar a Dios.

Jesús era un  hombre como tú y yo. Si Él no lo hubiera sido, Él no habría sido tentado. La palabra de Dios dice él fue tentado por el diablo. Sabes, tú no puedes tentarme con el salto del Bunge…¡nunca! Pero Jesús fue tentado…¡y él venció!

Lleno del Espíritu Santo
                                                
Ahora, quiero enseñarte que durante en el tiempo que Jesús estuvo en el desierto, desde el tiempo en Lucas 4:1 en el que Él fue guidado por el Espíritu hasta el tiempo en Lucas 4:14 en el que Él regresó a Galilea, un cambio ocurrió en el alma y el cuerpo de Jesús.

En Lucas 4:1, nos dice que Jesús estaba "lleno del Espíritu Santo".  En el verso 14, Él regresó, " en el poder del Espíritu". Durante esos 40 días, Él ayunó, oró y citó la Palabra de Dios a Satanás.

Tú no puedes convencerme, que las únicas veces que Jesús citó la Palabra  al diablo son las tres veces que acabamos de leer. Él había estado resistiéndolo con Su fe, todos los 40 días. Eso es lo que lo impidió caer en la tentación. ¿Qué fue lo que Jesús dijo a los discípulos en el jardín de Getsemaní? "Ora…" ¿Por qué?  "…Para que tú no entres  en tentación".


JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL by Doyle Davidson, Chapter 3.3 
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.

Jesus was a man like you and I. If he wasn't he would not have been able to be tempted. The word of God states he was tempted of the devil. You know, you can’t tempt me with bungee jumping….not ever! But Jesus was tempted…and he overcame!

Full of the Holy Ghost

Now, I want to show you that during the time Jesus was in the wilderness--from the time in Luke 4:1 that He was led by the Spirit until the time in Luke 4:14 that He returned into Galilee, a change occurred in Jesus' soul and body.

In Luke 4:1, we are told that Jesus was "full of the Holy Ghost."  In verse 14, He returned, "in the power of the Spirit." During those 40 days, He fasted, prayed, and quoted the Word of God to Satan.

You cannot convince me that the only times Jesus quoted the Word to the devil are the three times we just read. He had been resisting him with His faith the entire 40 days.  That is how He kept from falling into temptation.  What did Jesus say to the disciples in the garden of Gethsemane? "Pray..."  Why?  "...That you enter not into temptation."

JESUS A FAIT LA VOLONTE DU PERE/JESUS DID THE FATHER'S WILL, by Doyle Davidson, chapt.3.3 Français/English

JESUS A FAIT LA VOLONTE DU PERE, Chapitre 3.3 - Jésus dans le désert

Jésus fût tenté par le Diable

Jésus fut mené par l'Esprit dans le désert pour être tenté par le diable pendant 40 jours et dans Luc 4 :2 dit : ..Et il ne mangea rien pendant ces jours-là ; et lorsqu'ils furent accomplis, il eut faim.

Après ces 40 jours, le Saint Esprit a noté trois tentations qui lui ont semblées suffisamment importantes pour qu'elles soient mentionnées. Elles sont décrites par Matthieu et Luc et l'apôtre Pierre nous dit que les saints hommes de Dieu écrivaient uniquement lorsque le Saint Esprit était sur eux. Nous devrions donc y prêter attention.

Luc 4:3 commence :

Et le diable lui dit : Si tu es Fils de Dieu, dis à cette pierre qu'elle devienne du pain. (v.3)
Et Jésus lui répondit, disant : il est écrit que ''L'homme ne vivra pas de pain seulement, mais de toute parole de Dieu''. (v.4)

Jésus venait d'être tenté pendant 40 jours, étant mené par le Saint Esprit, et Satan savait qu'il avait faim. Il avait jeûné pendant 40 jours. Satan lui a dit : ''Dis à cette pierre qu'elle devienne du pain.'' En fait, il lui a dit : ''Je veux que tu abuses de ton autorité.'' Jésus lui a répondu : ''Il est écrit ….''

Jésus n'a pas simplement extrait Sa réponse de Deutéronome 8:3 pour la lui  citer. Jésus parlait uniquement quand Il entendait Son Père parler. Dans Jean 7:16 : ''Jésus a dit que Sa doctrine n'était pas la sienne.'' Dans Jean 7:16, Il a dit : ''Je juge selon que j'entends.'' Dans Jean 14:24, Il dit : ''Et la parole que vous entendez n'est pas la mienne, mais celle du Père qui m'a envoyé.''

Jésus parlait uniquement quand Il entendait Son Père parler. Le Père, par le Saint Esprit, Lui a révélé : '' Il est écrit,''L'homme ne vivra pas de pain seulement, mais de toute parole de Dieu''. Jésus par le Saint Esprit a vaincu le diable par la foi.

Tous les royaumes de la terre

Luc 4:5 continue : Et le diable, le menant sur une haute montagne, lui montra, en un instant, tous les royaumes de la terre habitée.

Les gens religieux disent que le diable n'a pas pu mener Jésus. Ils disent : ''Il ne peut même pas me mener ; J'ai été racheté par le sang. '' Vous êtes peut être rachetés par le sang'', mais avant Sa mort, Son ensevelissement et Sa résurrection, Jésus a vaincu le diable et il a dû être mené sur cette montagne pour vaincre le diable.

Regardez encore Luc 4:5 :

…Et le diable, le menant sur une haute montagne, lui montra, en un instant, tous les royaumes de la terre habitée (v.5) Et le diable lui a dit (v.6) …

Certaines personnes sont tellement ''saintes' à leurs yeux qu'elles pensent que le diable ne peut pas leur parler. Mais le diable a dit à Jésus :

.. Je te donnerai toute cette autorité et la gloire de ces royaumes ..(v.6) :

Toute cette autorité, sur quoi ? Tous les royaumes de la terre, et tous les honneurs qui vont avec. Le diable parlait à l'Homme des cieux, Jésus. Et il savait qui Il était.

J'ai entendu des gens dire que le diable n'a connu Jésus qu'après que le Père dise : ''Tu es mon Fils bien aimé, en qui j'ai trouvé mon plaisir.'' Si cela est vrai, alors pourquoi le diable a-t-il essayé de tuer l'enfant Jésus par l'intermédiaire du Roi Hérode ? Les gens m'étonnent par leur ignorance.

Le diable a continué, dans Luc 4:6 : .. car elle m'a été donnée ..

Qui a donné l'autorité au diable ? Adam, quand il a désobéi à Dieu. C'était la volonté de Dieu qu'Adam Lui désobéisse. La désobéissance d'Adam a fait partie intégrante du plan de réconciliation de l'homme à Dieu. Ce qui est encore plus surprenant, c'est que Dieu avait planifié ceci dès la fondation de la terre. ''Le Plan de Réconciliation de Dieu'' est décrit dans le quatrième livre.

Je la donne à qui je veux

Puis le diable a dit, dans Luc 4:6 : ...''et je la donne à qui je veux.'' 

Les religieux disent que le diable ne peut pas dire la vérité, que toutes ses paroles sont des mensonges. Si cela est vrai, Jésus aurait simplement dû l'appeler menteur. Soit Jésus était confus, soit les religieux ont un problème avec la Bible. Satan a fini sa tentation, dans Luc 4:7 : … ''Si donc tu te prosternes devant moi, elle sera toute à toi.''

Jésus a jeûné 40 jours, il est tenté par le diable, et le diable vient alors lui dire qu'il Lui donnera l'autorité sur tous les royaumes de la terre.

Jésus était un serviteur juste, et le Père savait qu'il ne faillirait pas. Pourquoi ? Parce que Esaie 42:1 dit que le Père le soutiendrait.

Regardez Esaie 42:1: ''Voici mon serviteur que je soutiens, mon élu en qui mon âme trouve son plaisir. Je mettrai mon Esprit sur lui ; il fera valoir le jugement à l'égard des nations.''

Cette prophétie concerne Jésus. Et dans cette prophétie, Dieu dit qu'il soutiendra Jésus. Le Saint Esprit a mené Jésus dans le désert pour être tenté par le diable pendant 40 jours, et à l'issue de ces jours-là Satan lui a dit : ''Si donc tu te prosternes devant moi, elle sera toute à toi.''

Tu rendras Hommage au Seigneur ton Dieu

Regardez la réponse de Jésus, dans Luc 4:8 : Et Jésus lui répondant dit : …

Jésus n'a pas simplement cité Deutéronome 6:13. Dans Jean 6:63 Jésus dit : ''... les paroles que moi je vous ai dites, elles sont esprit et sont vie ;'' Le Saint Esprit a indiqué à Jésus les paroles qu'il devait dire :

''Va arrière de moi Satan ! Il est écrit ''Tu rendras hommage au Seigneur ton Dieu et tu le serviras lui seul.'' (v.8)

Satan a dit : ''Tu es fatigué, tu as faim, tu es là depuis 40jours ; maintenant je vais t’honorer et tu n'auras pas à souffrir plus longtemps.'' Je ne sais pas si ce sont ses paroles ,mais il aurait bien pu les lui dire.

Chaque serviteur de Dieu sera confronté à cette situation. Vous serez tentés d'abuser l'autorité de Dieu, et Satan viendra vous tenter pour l'honorer. C'est simple, Il suffira que vous compromettiez l'évangile et que vous rendiez hommage aux organisations religieuses– aux esprits religieux, et Satan vous aura pris dans son filet. Et il vous honnorera ! C'est ce qui est arrivé à l'Amérique. C'est ce qui est arrivé au monde entier.

Les religieux m'ont dit que je n'irai nulle part sans le soutien des gens. Mais Dieu m'a dit, si tu t'appuies sur le soutien des hommes, tu n'iras nulle part. Alors j'ai dit : '' Amen, Jésus, avançons ensemble.''

Tu ne Tenteras pas le Seigneur

Lisons la troisième tentation dans Luc 4:9 :

Et il l'amena à Jérusalem, et le plaça sur le faîte du temple et lui dit : Si tu es Fils de Dieu, jette-toi d'ici en bas ; (v.9)
Car il est écrit : ''Il donnera des ordres à ses anges à ton sujet pour te garder ; (v.10)
Et ils te porteront sur leurs mains, de peur que tu ne heurtes ton pied contre une pierre.'' (v.11)
Et Jésus répondant, lui dit : ''Il est dit : ''Tu ne tenteras pas le Séigneur ton Dieu.'' (v.12)
Et ayant accompli toute tentation, le diable se retira d'avec lui pour un temps. (v.13)

En d'autres termes, Satan a dit à Jésus : ''Et bien tu m'as cité des écritures, maintenant c'est à mon tour de t'en citer. Sautes, parce qu'il est écrit que Dieu a donné des anges à ton sujet pour te garder. Je citerai la Parole tout comme toi.''

Qu'est-ce qu'à fait Satan ? Il a sorti les écritures hors de leur contexte ; il les a attaqué et en a perverti le sens des écritures. C'est ainsi que le diable agit. Peu importe qui vous êtes, si vous pervertissez les écritures, c'est Satan qui parle par votre bouche.
Tenter Dieu, c'est pervertir les écritures, c'est les sortir hors de leur contexte, et c'est les appliquer mal à propos.

JESUS DID THE FATHER’S WILL, Chapter 3, Jesus in the Wilderness (Part 3)

Jesus Was Tempted of the Devil 

Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for 40 days to be tempted of the devil, and as Luke 4:2 says: …in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 

At the end of the 40 days, three temptations occurred that the Holy Spirit thought important enough to record.  They are recorded by both Matthew and Luke, and the apostle Peter tells us that the holy men of God only wrote when the Holy Ghost moved upon them. Therefore, we should pay attention.

Luke 4:3 begins:

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread (v. 3).
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God (v. 4). 

Jesus had been tempted 40 days, led by the Holy Spirit, and Satan knew He was hungry.  He had been fasting for 40 days.  Satan said,"Command this stone that it be made bread." In effect, he said, "I want you to misuse your authority." Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written..."

Jesus did not simply pluck His response out of Deuteronomy 8:3 and quote it.  Jesus only spoke what He heard His Father speak.  In John 7:16, Jesus said that His doctrine was not His.  In John5:30, He said,  "AsI hear, I judge." In John 14:24, He said, "Theword which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."

Jesus only spoke what He heard His Father speak.  The Father, by the Spirit of God, revealed to Him:  "…It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, overcame the devil with faith.

All the Kingdoms of the World 

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] willI 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."

Whomsoever 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 wrestled 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.
