GOD will HELP us!

Matthew 4:10 & 11
"10 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 Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him."

The Devil will create TEMPTATIONS for us because he expects us to FAIL. The Devil is trying to MAKE us FALL. Like he TRIED to make Jesus FALL! When Jesus was tired and hungry Satan approached Him, wanting to take advantage of Jesus's weakened state, but Jesus demonstrates that we need to cherish the Holy Scriptures, when we are faced with TEMPTATION we can answer and overcome the situation with Holy Scriptures!

When the Devil quoted Holy Scripture trying to twist it and trip Jesus up. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:16. Fully relying on God, knowing the Holy Scriptures. When that didn't work Satan pulled out all the stops saying he will give Jesus the whole world "if thou wilt fall down and worship ME." Like all of the Devil's work; it's a lie. He doesn't have the world to give. All creation belongs to our Lord. 

AND! Jesus knows this, so He tells the Devil to get out of here with his lies, "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. Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him."

This is the battle we ALL fight. A battle for our souls and all eternity. The battle is TEMPTATIONS from the Devil; attacking our pride, when we are weakened, twisting Holy Scripture so we question our Lord and outright LIES that we should know are LIES. We need to call out LIES when we see them.
Remember that God gives you a way out.
There is power in Jesus. He has stood up to the Devil's TEMPTATIONS and defeated them! God will give us the opportunity to prove our strength and character. God will give us a test with the expectation that we will PASS the test. We need to PRAY for His help. And pray some more.
GOD will TEST us! 
GOD will HELP us!

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...
