BAM - watch them every Tuesday night on our Facebook page. This Week the Jezebel Spirit… and not just women have it. 

 

August Friday and Saturday 16th 17th End times conference at HillSpring Church sponsored by The David Alliance, 

 

Whats your greatest temptation… mine? Simple and its not sex… My wife is good to me. It is a Chocolate cream filled donut… I believe its a Bavarian creme type… the donut itself is chocolate dough, the frosting is chocolate and the filing is white cream filled… I really don’t know the actual name of this donut… but I will eat them at any time, any where and any place.

 

Matthew 4 Jesus was tempted by satan…

Satan tempted Jesus… why? 

Did he really think he would win this fight with Jesus… he would actually pull one over on Jesus… why again… why would he even try? 

We hear often that Jesus laid down his humanity and became man. He then lived a sinless life by relying on the Holy Spirit. What am I trying to say? satan’s behavior agrees with this. He sees Jesus as a man, vulnerable… just like any other human… he believes it is possible to get Jesus to sin… Look he didn’t tempt him in heaven? But when he sees that he truly laid down his God nature, gave up his deity while here on earth… satan was like “game on”. 

And satan threw everything including the kitchen sink at him. 

He was tested body, soul and spirit…

Body - his fleshly appetite

Soul - His ego his reputation

Spirit - who he would worship

 

 

Hebrews 4:15 says Jesus was tempted in every way….

Again I just can’t get over how ballsy it seems to tempt satan… but my mind struggles to see Jesus as human… but he was. With this truth in mind… my excuses as to why I sin, struggle and fall are up in flames… Jesus was a man… Im a man…

Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit and was sinless

Garth depends on the Holy Spirit and is kinda, a little, well trying… ok, Im not sinless. Im not saying it’s not impossible… but I also honestly know I don’t always rely in all areas on the Holy Spirit like I should. 

My point is this - Jesus was a man just like you.

You are a man just like Jesus.

Jesus lived sinless by dependance on the HS

You and I can live sinless by dependence on the HS
