Sue Brown continues the deep dive into Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, specifically the demand to turn stones into bread. This message reveals the enemy's core strategy: getting us to disobey God's will and act on our own selfish desires, thereby misusing the divine authority we possess. Sister Sue details why yielding to this temptation—prioritizing physical desires over spiritual reliance—would have disqualified Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, and how the same principle applies to us today.

The enemy's challenge is simple but powerful: Prove who you are. Learn why your true mission is not to prove yourself to Satan, but to stand firm on God's word and avoid taking selfish "shortcuts."

Key takeaways from this teaching: -- The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy your testimony, particularly when you feel weakest and most vulnerable. -- God has already given us authority and dominion, just as He gave Jesus "all power and authority under heaven and earth." -- The enemy wants you to act out of your own will and take matters into your own hands. -- Acting independently and out of selfish desire can disqualify you from the blessings and assignments God has prepared for you. -- When you know who you are in Christ, you do not need to perform a "trick" or prove anything to the devil.

Scriptures for Further Study

-- Matthew 4:1-4 (The temptation of Jesus) -- Exodus 28:15-21 (The Breastplate of the High Priest) -- Matthew 28:18-20 (The Great Commission and All Authority)

In this challenging and inspiring teaching, Sue Brown takes a deep dive into the account of Jesus being led into the wilderness to be tempted (Matthew 4:1-11). She explains that this was not a self-inflicted hardship, but a divinely allowed trial intended to prove Jesus' obedience and prepare him for his ministry. More importantly, it established the spiritual blueprint for how you can successfully resist the devil in your own life.

Sue Brown draws a crucial distinction between the external trials God allows (like Jesus' testing) and the internal temptations that arise from our own lusts and desires. Regardless of the source, your faith is being tested, and your way out is always the same:

Key Takeaways for Overcoming Temptation:

-- Jesus’ temptation was a spiritual transformation to prove his obedience.

-- God uses Jesus’ experience to give humanity an example of how to resist the devil.

-- The Lord will always provide a way to escape when we are tempted, but we must rely on Him.

-- Our temptations often arise from internal lusts and desires, while Jesus’ trial was an external adversary.

-- Reliance on the Holy Spirit, divine will, and scripture is essential for victory.

-- We must act on our faith and use the Word of God as our spiritual defense.

-- Knowing what is right and doing it not is sin (James 4:17)—you are accountable for your knowledge.

-- Our wilderness seasons are for a purpose: to develop our character and prepare us for ministry.

Scriptures for Further Study

-- Matthew 4:1

-- 1 Corinthians 10:13

-- James 1:22

-- Matthew 6:24

-- James 4:17

-- James 4:1-3

In this timely and challenging message, Sue Brown directs listeners to essential truths found in the Gospel accounts and the book of Revelation. After a prayer for anointing and understanding, she reads a series of scriptures that lay out the path of Christ and the requirements for His followers. This reading emphasizes the authority of Scripture over temptation, the nature of God's invitation, and the absolute necessity of watchfulness as we await the Lord's return.

Main Points for Readiness and Repentance:

-- Fulfilling All Righteousness: The message begins with Jesus’ baptism, highlighting that submitting to God's ordained process is "fitting" for us to "fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15).

-- Living By the Word: Jesus' temptation in the wilderness establishes that the definitive defense against the devil is not physical provision but relying on "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

-- The King's Wedding Feast: The parable illustrates God's widespread invitation to salvation, the rejection of that offer by some, and the ultimate necessity of having the proper "wedding garment" (righteousness/faith), because "many are called but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14).

-- Be Ready, For You Do Not Know the Hour: The final portion focuses on the signs of Christ's return, warning against the complacency of the "evil servant." The core instruction is to "watch therefore" and "be ready," as the Son of Man comes at an hour we do not expect.

-- Zealous Repentance and Invitation: The reading closes with an urgent call from Revelation: to buy gold refined in fire, be clothed in white garments, and be zealous and repent. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, offering intimate fellowship to all who will open it.

“False evidence may appear real, but when God says He’s your helper, He means it — so don’t worry, He’s got you.”

--Sue

In this powerful and transparent message, Sue speaks directly to the heart of anyone struggling with anxiety, relational tension, or personal betrayal. Drawing from Matthew 6 and her own lived experience, she emphasizes that worry often comes disguised as false evidence — fear that looks real but has no true power when we belong to God. From reconciling with loved ones to navigating the pain of marital challenges, she gently leads us to the truth that God is not only aware of what we’re going through — He’s right there with us in it. No matter how deep the storm or how complicated the emotions, there is one constant: God’s presence, God’s timing, and God’s grace. This episode is an invitation to release the weight, trust the process, and remember — He’s got you.

Jesus was trying to do good but still ran into opposition. We can expect no less.
