Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
Luke 4:12 NLT
Good morning fellow disciples.
WORD is defined as the expressed or manifested mind and will of God.
Jesus was quoting Deuteronomy 6:16 when He used this scripture to help defeat the devil who was tempting Him. Three times the devil tempted Jesus, and three times Jesus used scriptures to defeat him.
What are your conversations with the devil like?
Some of you may be taken aback by this question because you are saying, “I don’t have conversations with the devil”. However, our Bible says that he comes to tempt us. So what do you say to him when he comes to tempt you?
Do you know God’s WORD?
Do you use God’s WORD when you are being tempted?
Do you successfully chase demons and the devil away like Jesus did?
Jesus knew scripture and knew how to apply it to the different situations that He was in. He didn’t only study the Scriptures. He also fellowshipped with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He gained power and authority from God to deal with the devil in the manner that He did.
Does your knowledge of Scripture, your relationship with God, and your fellowship with Him give you the power and the authority to defeat demons?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I will follow Your example. I will defeat the devil with the WORD of God. Amen
