Trusting Jesus: Overcoming Satan's Temptation

Why do you guys not give this man 3 hours to work with?!

The Temptation on Christ changing the stones to bread has recently become my favorite, for lack of a better term. I'm two years sober from Meth. None of it my doing, all His. Early in my recovery, I had the thought, and wondered on it for a couple months, How can Christ know what it's like to crave meth? He never did it. He never put a needle in his arm. He never wanted the drug so bad his arm physically hurt. Then one day the truth was revealed to me. I don't know what it's like to go 40 days without food. I don't know what it's like to starve. I don't know what it's like for my stomach to shrivel up because I have nothing to fill it. The physical pain He would have endured, the hunger to eat. And knowing with a simple thought, I wouldn't have to be hungry? In that moment, I understood that Christ knows me, better than I will ever know myself.

I would think he fasted to show the spirit of the lord is strongest in us when we are at our weakest.

This was a very timely message just for me. Thank you.

Thank you brothet shaun,I agreement with what you've said..Christ was just showing us some examples that wr should follow after He left and went to His Father.also how to obey the commandments. Happy Sabbath everyone 🙏🤗

I think that Jesus fasted and prayed to prepare for His great mission that He was going to undertake. Like when you start a new job you pray the night/nights before to prepare for the big task ahead. Yeah, I agree with the others on the delivery. With the music going and all of the unnecessary visuals. This video is noisy and busy. The message is weighed down by the busyness and the outside elements are winning. I'll have to watch this again on low volume and half-frame to get the full effect of the message. Which on it's own is great!

Amen!❤ Please do a talk Project 2025-the "daughters " are on the move!

Thank you for this message and your service to the Lord!

Thank you.

Thank you

Awesome message. Thanks

I didn't see "The Last Temptation of Christ" either. The media coverage at the time made it sound like the movie's fictional 'last temptation' was for Jesus to come off the cross and have sex with Mary Magdalene. A friend who had seen the movie told me it wasn't a physical temptation but simply the idea of living a normal life. Jesus is suddenly an old man who's had a happy marriage etc. then He realizes He was supposed to do something great and when He tries to, He can't. I am actually going through a situation where I have a legitimate need that is not being met in my life and I feel unfulfilled because of it. My choices are sin to get my need met or suffer an emptiness inside in order to stand for God. I have chosen the selfish way many times but I am still trying in my faith. I ask for prayer. As for the order of events in the two stories, I like Matthew's better, it seems more logical. The order of temptation to me parallels life itself. The secular world lives by the philosophy of get and education, which will lead to a good job and then you can spend your money on a life of fun and self-indulgence. This is met by Jesus' reply; we don't live by bread alone. Satan comes back with a misquote of Scripture and the next trap on the way to God is bad religion (either worldliness on the liberal side or fanatical self-righteousness on the conservative). We see parallels to these first two temptations in the parable of the wheat and the tares. The field is the worldly way. The tares are the way of bad religion. Standing for God in the narrow way of the wheat is to study the Bible and understand it correctly, which is something only the Holy Spirit can give to us and only when we have humble, teachable spirits. When cross-referenced with the temptations, it's to give up being famous. The world will not recognize those who have the truth.

This is sure reading in between the lines.

Where do the 2 witnesses & building of the 3rd temple come into play with this reasoning?

Very beautiful message from the Word of God❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🩷🩷🩷🩵🩵🩵🩵💙💙💙💜💜💜😊😊😊🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🪻🪻🪻💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻 I love the Word of God🪔🪔🪔🪔❤❤❤

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you? If only my prayers & meditations could slow down or even stop the flow of time like Joshua on the Plains of Gibeon, I would have no need for food, shelter, or medicine. I would be utterly free.

Amen! Thanks for sharing 2nd Edit November 9, 2023 I’m giving exact quote from Morris Venden. I didn’t get the full quote right, the first time, which caused controversy. I apologize. Here’s the full quote from Morris Venden. “Jesus was tempted to do right, but in His own power, and so are we.” In reference to ⤵️ my first post. Editing: satan didn’t tempt Jesus to do something wrong. he tempted Jesus to do something right.(there’s nothing wrong with eating bread when your hungry), because satan knew he couldn’t tempt Jesus to do wrong, because Jesus hates sin. I got that idea from Morris Venden listening to his “Righteousness By Faith” series. It’s free on “YouTube” I love your videos. They are very serious matters but I always find laughter in them. Like the story about buying a lottery ticket. I’m glad for these videos. 😀

Family and friends? They've never even asked me about Jesus or the coming Kingdom. And I've never offered, thinking that it would fall on sterile ground. They used to mock and ridicule religion.

The background music is far too loud and distracting ...

My faith is just a conjuration of a sorcerer? Yep. Sorry to disappoint. It doesn't disappoint me at all. It affirms the afterlife, it affirms moral standards and accountability (you're living it now), and it's an adventurous discovery (seek and ye shall find the truth). Einstein: "Subtle is the Lord, but malicious he is not".
