Being Tempted Doesn't Change Who - It Proves Who I Am
Matthew 3:16-4:2
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. KJV
· Do not allow your position on earth to confuse your position in Heaven
· Jesus was STILL the only begotten Son of God while He was in the wilderness being tempted.
· He was still Son when He cried out why have you forsaken me
· We go by our faith not our feelings
· IF, IF, IF - you gotta know Whose and who you are!!
He Knows Who I Am
Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the LORD . . .KJV
· You are tempted to show you who you are - God already knows.
· Real faith only works when you have an opportunity to doubt!
o We only talk about their faith when we see they had a chance to falter
· Could Job have changed his mind - of course, but he didn't
o But God knew he wouldn’t.
o God knew Him - GOD REALLY REALLY KNEW HIM!
Authority & Struggles
· My authority does not end when the enemy denies who I am in Christ - it is only confirmed!
o Jesus tempted,
· God knew Who He was,
· Satan obviously knew Who He was
This was confirmation that Jesus knew Who He was, but that does not release even He from struggles of the flesh - Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ? KJV
YOU ARE NOAH TO SOMEONE - KEEP BUILDING
