Discuss Matthew 4 Page 12

God has given us His word The Bible to study and grow in it and to share to others in order to face the challenges of life and to be victorious. The Bible says in Joshua 1:8 " This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. " It is when we study the Bible that this word will be in our mouths, and through this word in our mouths and hearts we shall 1. Know the Law of our God 2. Do as expected of us 3. Prosper and succeed in it 4. Get the weapon of word which is the sword of the Spirit to fight our battles. Ephesians 6:17. In short we must study God 's word The Bible to be stronger in the Lord. Ephesians 6:10-11. Jesus used the power and weapon of the word " IT IS WRITTEN " to conquer satan after His forty days and nights fast and prayer. Matthew 4: 1-11. Finally study the word, share the word of truth and let all believers get the power of the word to do all things. My own comment on 2 Timothy 2:15. Pastor Taiwo Olusoji Peter Nigeria .

I find this verse clearly explains to us that we must not focus to our physical body needs worrying about what to ware or what to eat ,rather than focus to the needs of our soul.in addition this verse clearly inform us that we can not survive without Gods word. His word is Life.

I think what the bible is making us to have more faith in Christ Jesus because sin is something that is always around us and God want his children not to fall into sin 'so the devil was halter the church and the soul of mankind

I believe much of the bible has been construed to fit a person 's of the cloth regardless how true he maybe , Its being misconstrued to fit their being many rich and wealthy ministers use the HOLY BIBLE for this purpose self gain . They practice their stories and wisdom daily to render income onto themselves , However if they have taken the oath of poverty and maintain that live style . they are closer to the truth than those who accept the poor hopeful people money ? Service to God isn 't about wealth its about GOD and understanding the truth . Look at all the Churches proclaiming to be the true religion . Jewish were close ,then came Catholic 's who were closer ,JESUS Peter Paul ect Priests and followers of Jesus . Jesus was carpenter in early Life as was his Step Father Joseph early man . Mary was Natural mother flowing from God . The Angel of the lord came upon Mary that how Jesus was made Earthly , And we all have our Angels if we chose to use them . Look at drunken alcoholic they can be saved by faith alone Higher Powers than themselves they cannot quite alcohol without help spiritual help , God or maybe an Angel accept faith as it happens to you your life should be dedicated to Faith belief Death is coming to all of the Earthly things so believe in yourself Guilded by the real word and faith PEACE : May your friends and neighbors always respect you ! : May bad luck and misfortune always neglect you !: May the Angels always protect you ! : And may HEAVEN accept you !

on Verse 9 I have thought that when Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world it was not the power to rule those kingdoms, but he was offering to give Jesus all of the souls of the people within those kingdoms, after all that was what Jesus came to redeem.

I liked the excerpt but I don 't know if I want to do something I have no business doing. Until it is guaranteed that my people are taken care of I will never be happy.

I believe it

Verse 1, The lesson that is taught is full of symbolism. The wilderness is the souls of persons that can not discern what is right and what is wrong. It is a place of spiritual searching for the truth and understanding of the words of God. Jesus is led by the Holy Spirit to face the Devil for the souls of mankind. The fast is not a literal not eating food. The fast is symbolic of 40 days and nights of facing sin being tempted with false doctrine and laws and not taking it into ones spiritual being. Jesus is the word of God, the bread of righteous doctrine. After 40 days of facing sin- Satan, Jesus was hungry for the souls of the people in the wilderness to eat his bread, the true words of God.

It seems to me the lord looks to us to resist temptation with the spiritual resources at our disposal. Prayer, the word obedience, faith. When we are done he sends angels to strengthen us. The same sequence occurred at Gethesemane. Only after Jesus declare that His father 's will be done did the angels come to minister to him.

It seems that John the Baptist and then Jesus was attempting to show the other Jews that they needed to repent from their sins and live a better life...and that was radical causing a stir...then making that belief criminal. So John was eventually beheaded and Jesus had people believing He was holy and so He was killed too. So, once Jesus, who was holy, was crucified then those who believe in Him worship God in a new way...following His teachings. OK I get it.

Jesus does love you. You bring people to get closer to Him I know because I'm one of them.

Wow words so strong to heal. Maybe now it can fix a lot of medical conditions. But our USA changed from them taking god out of the classroom and blessing at the table. More should consider the bile as our life in our hand. Not as a cause of belief of others. God never said to believe in others and stop preaching his words. People who come her should respect the bible and respect our way of life. Look now since its changed we went down hill.....

All sickness paid for at the cross. Your healing already completed at the cross. Do you have faith the size of a mustard seed? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Jesus said " heal the sick and set the captives free.

Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Live by following all of his instructions as to what to eat and what not to eat and follow all his laws, etc. These are my thoughts.

I 'd fasted since I was 14 yrs old ,30 days of Ramadan once a year as the order of our holly book I felt so great .......never gave up even the longest and hottest days of the summer ..........but 40 days n 40 nights,very serious attempt.

To be honest I must read, re-read it until I understand the true meaning of each and every WORD given by the Creator to his teacher, before I comment. I am LEARNING more each time I read the Word.

Through all things we must have faith, but, faith without works is dead. We are not healed by faith alone. If we have faith in our God and in the hands of the people that are treating us, then, it is possible we may be healed from what is causing us to be sick. Matthew is a book written by an author that writes books, much like anyone of today, writing their own thoughts. Now this is my thoughts, just like anyone else.

because through His Word we are healed and all worth the Scriptures are true and all those who believe will inherit the kingdom of God

You are correct sir. Three times according to the gospel. If you look at how this is translated in later books... It will say he was tempted for forty days and forty nights, However you read it correctly as we have, you will clearly see that it was three times after he was starving and in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights.

PSALMS 91:11 1 22 15 10:02 PM In this verse we must walk in BELIEVE, FULLY FAITH and STRENGTH through our Lord Jesus Christ as for our Saviour that we not fall unto the "TEMPTER " as the day passes by...For it was written into the BOOK OF: MATTHEW 4:6 LUKE 4:10 HEBREW 1:14. God bless us, A-men.

I never read that Jesus was tempted three days, but I did read that the devil tempted him three different times. Please clarify this for me....

To demonstrate the power of God 's creations and Jesus ' healing power is a story that happened today. It will sound odd but rather lovely - I washed the drapes and as I placed them in the dryer, I saw a stink bug crawling on one of the drapes - still alive after going through a gentle cycle. The miracle of God 's creations will never be truly understood by man, but his word and Jesus 's sacrifice and love give man great faith. So Amen to that, and Matthew 's testament.

Hello Wayfarer: Please read the following information for I have already addressed these comments. When God said "let us " If you would please go to page 5 up under this Chapter where I gave Russel2079 a 4 part answer to this same question date 10-14-14 times 10:12 pm and 10:13pm, you will find my answer to your question. I also addressed the questions about "let us make man in our image AFTER our likeness ". Anonymous asked this same question on page 6 of the Chapter date 10-10-14 it is in 3 parts times 1:18pm 1:19pm 1:20pm. Please read my comment. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, in 1 John 5: 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. There are other scriptures that show the oneness of God, John Chapter 1 1 Timothy 3: 16. Jesus declared he was the Father to Philip, John 14: 8 and 9. The Holy Ghost name is Jesus Christ, John 14: 26.

Answer to ECR comments dated 11-09-2014 2:36 am. I don 't agree with you that Jesus Christ holds all three offices, making him the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, thus it will immediately follows that they are equal in power and authority. The bible tells us plainly that they are distinct to one another. The Father is Greater than the Son - John 15:28-. In the book of Genesis 1:26 When God said "Let US make man in OUR image " he is talking to someone who has the power to create just like himself, so beside the Father who else has the power to create? of course its the Son. Its impossible to think that God talk to his angels about creation of men, since angels has no power to create, and its impossible that the Father talking to himself, remember our God is not the author of confusion 1Cor 14:33.

Psalm 91 Psalm 23 Isaiah 54:17 John 3:16 Luke 21:36 Matthew 4:4,7,10. Christians should know by heart.as well as many others so that we can readily affirm our Faith and walk in the strength of Our Lord.

Hello Amanda Rios Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the devil with what he could offer from the world, Matthew 4 8 and 9 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me . All the world has to offer is the following, 1 John 2 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world . We are to turn from our worldly ways and follow the ways of God. We are in the world but not of the world, John 15 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Acts 2 38 is the salvation plan under this Grace Age period which is the 6th Dispensation.

I Love how Jesus rebuked the enemy with the Word of God.Also afterward the Angels came to minister to him. God sends messages through the Angels.Jesus says Follow me and I will make you fisherman of man. I want to leave my net and Follow Jesus! Jesus is a Healer.A preacher and a teacher and I want to "Follow Him " be like Jesus! In Jesus Mighty Name Amen!

Hello Oladipupo jide If you are referring to the Word that is mention in 1 John 5 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one ". Then he, the Word, is not a tool. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. Even his word is a living word that we can live by.

Hello Mockingbird Yes, and the Word was in the beginning and created Heaven and Earth and the Word is God. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3 16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

JESUS WORKS MIRACLE S IN JESUS AND JESUS IN ME I CAN WORK MIRAVCLE THROUGH MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU JESUS
