Matthew 4:1-11 (New International Version)
Matthew 4:1-11
New International Version (NIV)
Matthew 4
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
We are Victorious ! : As, I read these scriptures I can see Satan now, thinking he was all that testing the King of Kings our lord and savior, tempting him to resist and follow him, look how stupid satan looked, when all Jesus did to fight him off, is give him the word of God ! ( Away from me Satan ) Truly these simple words, powerful simple words sent that ugly creature away!
Now, for all my brothers and sisters out there, we gotta listen up! Satan is becoming slick on how he picks his prey, see Satan knows how to entice the eyes of the weak, see in order for Satan to even touch Gods children he has to ask for permission from the Father. We give to much credit to the beast, he is a liar and a filthy animal and there is no truth in him. So, we must be vigilant on his tactics and be aware of his strategy, his mission is to kill, steal and destroy. So, the more you know the word of God, you can defeat him! The Victory has already been Won!
So, let us look at some of the ways Satan trick us up: ( The Mind ) Satan, likes to tell you, what you can't do, he likes to put the fear inside of you, that all is going wrong and that you will loose everything. So, what does God Say
The Word:
Deuteronomy 28:1-68 ESV
“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. ..AMEN!
Satan Tactics : ( Lust ) See, Satan likes to through out the spirit of Jezebel to knock you off of you game, I have met so many people, who are mesmerized by the ugly but cunning creature of design. The mission is to destroy you, and leave you in the darkness. Many people get caught up with this spirit because they don't have the word to fight it off. They like to use their bait to place you in their web, this is their bait ( Abandonment issues lines, passive personality disorders, with aggressive tendencies, abuse of ones body through sexual prowess, make babies with them out of wedlock) this is just the name a few, for the men out their be cautious what may look like a butterfly will sting like a bee, so when you see her coming, you better bring your Word out !
What the word says :
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols
Satans Tactic ( Money ) Now, all of us can relate to the needing money. However, when you place money as the priority of your life over God, you are giving satan a foot stool to attack you. The lord will always provide for his children, we know that according to the will of God our needs will be met. The world tells you that you need to have a big house, a fancy car, designer bags, expensive jewelry, this worldly list can go on and on. So, when we invite satan in to the laws of our needs you are opening yourself to the attacks. So, when you feel as though the world is taking control over you, you better stop what you are doing and get the word back in position.
The Word Says :
Deuteronomy 28:12
The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. ( Amen )
I just wanted to deliver just some of the tactics that satan is about to use to destroy Gods people, I can write all day on this. We are now being called more tha ever to get the Gospel spread and to break the enemy down, this battle has been has been won ! We have Victory in Jesus, and in the days and weeks and months and years to follow, we will be tested. However we are not to allow satan to destroy us, our rewards are not stored here but in the Kingdom of Heaven, we are the vesels of this light, we must set out and help the next generation reach to the skies and learn the bible.
The world is now teaching this next generation through the Lady Ga,Ga's and the Jay Z's and all this other filth that is covering the media, they don't care about us, it is a mission to destroy. Be careful what you listen too, and who you listen to...If they tell you, heaven is here, their is no hell..Then you better get away. There is a heaven and their is a hell, and for people to say that we are in bad days, well earth looks like the Ritz compared to way Hell is gonna look.
Remember, in all things seek the lords way, don't from the truth.
Seek the way of the Father, this world is temporary. You have free will on the destination.
Be blessed Trust God and Tell Satan he is a liar!

Many are Called few are Chosen
When I think about how many times God has placed calls upon his children, and many chose to not answer and they wanted to follow their own way, I think of how God must have been and felt at that moment.
Then, the thought enters my head, that those who are serious about this walk with God, we listen and follow and represent his fruits of the spirit in love.
The lord wants all of his children to hear his voice and follow his lead, many of us have a special place in this world in order to get their we must no longer live our lives in the conditioning of the world and it's lies and propaganda.
See the medias mission is to destroy the mind, and they are doing this through social and broadcast media, we must not support these patterns of mental abuse and follow the word of God his word of truth.
The next few years we will witness historic and monumental things that only God could bring to the forefront and some will be very powerful and profound. We must stay prayed up, if you have no Biblical knowledge or if you have it, and have turned from it, you will follow what the masses throw at you.
Example: The Carmeggedon May 21 End of days
In both these situations you had all the media making people run and be scared and stay locked up in their homes, and this was all over the press, and people buy into it, because it's all they see. However, if all of us agree to put down the remote and grab the word, these things that media and satan throws your way will not affect you.
Do not give the power to what you see! If you do satan will take it and it will break you.
Those of us who have been called to spread the Truth will see how the enemy wants to distract us from the mission, I am not and will not give up on enlightenment for those who are drifting with no hope and in fear of the world. We are world changers and movement makers and we will show the world that Light beats darkness.
So,for us who have been called continue to pick up your cross and walk the walk and show this world that we will not live a life in fear, we will live it in High Praise! Our father is a King!! We are the sons and daughters and the heirs of the throne in the eternal kingdom of our father.
The best is yet to come for us, God is doing a new thing!! He is opening doors for his children who are following in his lead, he is restoring relationships that satan tried to destroy, he is providing jobs that have career advancement for his children! He is providing healthcare for the sick! He is giving you a place that is better than the one you had before!!
See our God is a miracle worker, and he is not through with his children! See where the lord is getting ready to take you, you have NEVER been there before!! This is his Royalty and his stamp to you, that you are worthy!! So remember when you answered that call you placed yourself in the arms of God and he holds his children tight and springs fourth blessings in all things!!
I speak this word on all of you !!
Remember that I love you and so does God!!
One love One blood shed for you and me (:

Shout I am Ready For Change !
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
I remember that when we were getting ready to enter the season of change when it was being said that Barak Obama was running for president people starting stating " well the world is ready for change " The real meaning behind any type of change, brings about the uncertainty for most people, of what will I expect ?
That's just it, with Change comes about all things new. Recently I have been meeting so many people and talking to friends in regards to this new stage that we are in, especially Gods children who are entering the awakening of the unknown.
It becomes a scary place only when we start to resist the change, for what God has chosen and will decide to do for those who call upon him and love him then trust him will see their lives become transformed greater than anything they could have imagined.
The lord wants to do a new thing and not something that will bring you to a place of doubt and fear, he wants you to trust him and release that doubt and fear and pick up his book of hope.
You will see so much start to happen in your life that is filled with the fruits of the spirit, it's not a bad thing to want to have great things and live a life of purpose and freedom. The dynamic to this truth is when your ways of doing things no longer work! The former things have passed away ! The lord wants and will do a new thing.
All of us have made mistakes, it's not about how many mistakes and bad choices you've made by doing your will, it's about how you have got up and dusted yourself off and said father I trust you.
In life when we start going in a hurry and running instead of walking, we miss the messages along the way " patience" is the center of the change. Without it, you will find yourself spiraling out of control for know reasons, but the fact you are impatient.
I've have learned from a dear friend of mine who so happens to be my soul mate, he said something to me last week that was so true " That when people make hasty decisions they continue to have things go wrong in their life " such a great truth, because when we take our way and decide to it and hold on to the former, you make God out to be wrong, and our father is never wrong he is always right and on time!
So, for most of us that are entering this stage of change get ready you are in for a great ride, Gods children have been called and we are no longer living in the darkness of the fear and of the unknown. We accept and surrender our own desires to the will of God. Once you just say no more of my way and shout to God your way, you will see him open the doors of heaven here on earth and pour out his blessings in ways you have never seen before!
This message is one of truth and light. Let it flow in the core of your spirit, and see what will happen for you,.
2011 will end with many of Gods children having unexpected miracles happen, for all seeds that have been planted in the lords soil, it is getting ready to flourish and spring true a Tree that is built on the grounds of the new and prosperous.
I speak this blessing upon you all!!
May the lord do and bring before you a new thing and all the desires of your heart will soon manifest in greater ways you could never imagined. We have awakened and in this non sleep state now, you will get all that you desire according to the lords will.
I love you and so does God!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.
