1<\/sup><\/i>Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2<\/sup>And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3<\/sup>And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4<\/sup>But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5<\/sup>Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6<\/sup>And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7<\/sup>Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8<\/sup>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; 9<\/sup>And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10<\/sup>Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11<\/sup>Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 4:1-11<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n The wilderness can be a scary place. The literal wilderness can mean darkness, danger and possible death if you are lost. Unless you have had special training, the wilderness can be a place where there aren’t a lot of resources for you to help yourself. You need outside help to find your way home. God has a history of delivering people from both the literal and spiritual wildness. His power is great no matter the circumstances. God has given us His Word as a sword – a weapon of warfare and deliverance. Jesus, our example, overcame temptation by using the scriptures. We should do the same! <\/p>\n\n\n\nVictory Action<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
