Yes we are tempted or better yet enticed by Satan. He dont have to work overtime to do that, In the flesh we desire what he has to offer.
Satan mission is to deceive,
He put tares amongst us to hinder Christ work in us.
Concerning Christ the word tempted is used differently.
Matthew 4:1. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be TEMPTED of the devil.
Look who's in arranging this. "Then was Jesus led up of THE SPIRIT into the wilderness.
The word tempted here is tested or better yet proven.
Jesus was led by the Spirit to be proven. Look at verse Matthew 4:3.
"And when the tempter came to him, he said, (IF) thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."
Here's what I recently learned from one of our dear brothers from this site. The word iF in this verse should be read "SINCE" It actually reads ( SINCE thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." ) The Devil knew exactly who he was!
Notice here what Satan is offering.
Matthew 4:8-9 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.
These kingdoms was already ordained for the Lord by way of the unblemished lamb on the cross. Something only the son of God can accomplish.
Psalms 2:8-9. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER: and his name shall be called Wonderful, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
This is what the Spirit sent Jesus in the wilderness to prove.
Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for an INHERITANCE, and the uttermost parts of the world for thy POSSESSION.
Psalms 2:9 And thou shall BREAK THEM with a ROD of IRON (the word of God); thou shall DASH THEM IN PIECES (destroy their carnal mind) like a potters vessel.
Jeremiah 18 .....And RECREATE THEM .....
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit (Pentecost), THEY ARE CREATED, thou renewest the face of the earth .... Revelation 21:1
Is not this the judgement written: BREAK and RECREATE.
Psalms 149:9 To execute UPON THEM the judgement written, THIS HONOUR hath all his Saints.
1 Corinthians 6:2 Know ye not the saints shall JUDGE the world .... Isaiah 26:9 When thy judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Revelation 2:26 And he (my BODY) that overcometh and keeps MY WORKS (Christ, the LIFE of the Body) until the end, to HIM (my Body) will I give POWER OVER THE NATIONS:
Revelation 2:27 And HE (my BODY) shall rule them with rod of iron (the word of God) and as vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I RECEIVED OF MY FATHER .... Psalms 2:8-9
Revelation 12:5 And SHE (the bride of Christ) brought FORTH A MAN CHILD (the Image of Christ) that was to RULE ALL NATIONS with a rod of iron .... this honour hath all his saints.
