Grace for you today !
Christ in me – Rising in Glory !
“Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
Matthew 4:5-7 NKJV
The second temptation was directed to Jesus because He was anointed as the Prophet . If we have to apply the same in our lives,this temptation is to test our patience /perseverance.
Remember, Faith is an act as a response to God’s initiative. Confession of what Jesus has done is faith. However, when we work ahead of God’s initiative, we are moving in the flesh.
God promised Abraham and Sarah a child. Years passed by and nothing happened. Therefore, the lovely couple were tempted to take the initiative to have the baby through Hagar expecting God to respond. What they needed was patience, that is to persevere during trying times by confessing the righteousness of faith ( Hebrew6:12).
My beloved, all the promises of God concerning your health, wealth and wellbeing are yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. It means that Jesus has already fulfilled all the requirements of the law of God in order to bring blessings in your life. Your steadfast confession of what He has done for you is all that is expected because when Jesus Himself was tempted, He did not do anything, He just spoke and so also you need to only speak contrary to the condition you see or hear or feel. Amen 🙏
In such trying times, we need our hearts to be established/directed into God’s love for us because we doubt whether God really loves us when we face difficulties.
We need to pray as it is written in 2 Thessalonians 3:5 “May the Lord lead your (my) hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ .”( NLT). Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus Mashiach!
