A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS Part 3

3 | CONCLUSION

The Devil is the king of lies. All he wants to do sell you lies that lead to sin. When you are being tempted, remember this,

Sin never lives up to its promise​. Sin is built on lies.

Remember that ​Jesus is THE VOICE in the WILDERNESS.​ He is ​THE BREAD OF LIFE.​ He is always faithful through a hard season!

Remember  

When you are in an Awkward Stage as a young person you have ​2 choices

  1. You can either remain in your Awkward Stage for the rest of your life and not

    grow past it.

  2. You can Know that it will not last forever and how one day there will be change!

JESUS​ sees your awkward stage. ​He sees your inner struggles. He sees your weaknesses! ​He sees your hurts! But the Devil also sees your weaknesses and knows when you are going through something hard.

Just like when we are in an Awkward Stage, ​when we are in the midst of “The Wilderness” we have 2 choices.

  1. We can choose to remain mad, bitter, and sad about what we are going through.

  2. We can look to Jesus and allow HIS VOICE to guide us through, so that we come out stronger than we went in!

Matthew 4:1-11

What we have to know is that Jesus our savior relates to the same temptations we face all of the time! Because he has been through them!

POINT 1 : ​THE DEVIL ATTACKED JESUS’ WEAKEST AREA.

John 6:35 | ​“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Hebrews 4:15 |​ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. So we are going to learn how he made it through the Wilderness! 

POINT 2 : ​THE DEVIL ATTACKED JESUS’ MIND. 

Remember when the Devil is tempting you and trying to get you to REACT, that you don’t have to prove anything to him. ​Remain strong and confident in who God is and how he is ​ALWAYS FAITHFUL​! 

POINT 3 : ​THE DEVIL ATTACKED JESUS’S SONSHIP. 

Finally the Devil took Jesus to the top of a high mountain and began to point out all of the kingdoms of the world, all of the beautiful areas and more, ​“I will give all of this to you IF you bow down and worship me”...

This is a lie!​ God always has our best interests in mind.

What was the Devil thinking?

How could he try and tempt the Son Of God?

The Eternal Truth of God - Part 2

  The Eternal Truth of God Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations. I. GOD IS TRUE. 1. He is true in His very nature. Falsehood is the wickedness — I dare not call it the infirmity — the wickedness of little natures; but as for the Great Supreme, you cannot conceive Him acting in any manner that is otherwise than straightforward, upright, and truthful. A God of truth and righteousness is He essentially. He must be so. 2. The Lord our God is not only true in His nature, but He is true to His nature. You never find Him doing anything that is not godlike. Select the acts of His creation. If He makes an aphis to creep upon a rosebud, you will find traces of infinite wisdom in it: you shall submit the insect to the microscope and discern wisdom in it as glorious as that which shines in yonder rolling stars. If in providence some minor event comes under your notice, in that event you shall find no deviation from the constant ru...

Man's Needs, God's Wealth

  Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." God's Boundless Wealth Describing God's wealth with mere words feels inadequate, yet some metaphors and titles help us grasp its magnitude. Figures and Titles That Illuminate God's Wealth The Sun : God as our Sun illuminates every aspect of our existence, from the highest peaks to the deepest valleys. His light and warmth nurture life in all its forms. The Ocean : Like the ocean's tide filling every bay and inlet, God's goodness pulsates throughout the universe, touching every corner with His tender mercies. Titles such as the "God of hope," the "God of peace," the "God of all comfort," and the "Father of mercies" offer glimpses into the richness of His nature. Yet, the ultimate revelation of His wealth is encapsulated in the simple yet profound declaration, "God is love." God's Promises and Prov...

The Gospel of Our Creation- Part 1

  The Gospel of Our Creation Psalm 100:3 Know that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.… It is he that hath made us, and not we. This declaration was held to be a gospel. It occurs in a psalm that may well be regarded as a universal psalm. It is not for Jesus only, but for "all people that on earth do dwell." And amongst the reasons wherefore it calls on all to be joyful in the Lord, there is this one - that "it is he that hath made us," etc.   I. NOW, WE CANNOT CONCEIVE OF GOD AS ACTING WITHOUT MOTIVE. And -   II. THEREFORE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A MOTIVE FOR THE CREATION OF MAN.  We can trace reasons and evidence of purpose in all God's work; hence,ce we are sure there must have been such when he created man.   III. AND THIS MOTIVE MUST HAVE BEEN GRACIOUS OR THE REVERSE.   1. It could not have been the reverse; for, whether we look at the structure of man's body, where all seems so adapte...
