Rejoice in the Lord...Always!

Temptation is a test of your faith


Listen Later

In Matthew 4:3-4, we see the first temptation that Satan confronted Jesus with after 40 days in the wilderness.  Things to consider:  1) There is always more going on than you realize, 2) Your ability to withstand temptation has a lot to do with what you believe about God, 3) Temptation is a test of your faith, not just your ability to say "No".  Questions we ask:  Can God come through?  Will God come through?  Does God want to come through?  Does God even know that I need Him to come through?  Every need and desire were given to us by God, and God will always meet your needs.  When you are tempted, give it to God.  You are always going to be tempted.  When you are, do 3 things:  1) Wait a minute! 2) Trust God. 3) Wait on Him.  Always walk in the Spirit.  Remember, the only way to the next mountain top is through a valley.  Jesus will get you there.
