Grace for your spirit June 4, 2008

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, "If you are the Son of God"….....Matthew 4:1-3

The ministry of Jesus began with His baptism, and the Spirit descending on Him. Right after that, He was led into the wilderness, fasted forty days, and the devil came after Him. Jesus overcame the temptations by the devil with the living word of God, saying, "It is written." As we make our decision to walk in the steps of Jesus, are baptized into Him, and receive the Spirit, we will surely have the same temptations that Jesus had. Our Christian walk won’t always be in a "rose garden". At our times of weakness and wandering, the devil will always be ready to attack. As we have followed Jesus, remember to follow Him with the words, "It is written." Use His word, and the devil will leave us.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
