It is Written

4/6

A Word from PJ

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ ” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:1-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It is written! Every one of us in our daily walk with Christ go through problems and situations that we need help with. It was the same with Jesus when He was on the mountain to be tempted by the enemy. The enemy kept tempting Jesus over and over and over and Jesus kept replying to him “It is written!”. The reality is, Satan is defeated with The Word of God and the word of our testimony. Meaning you and I have to raise the standard when we’re tempted by the enemy. Every time the enemy tempts us or we get in a situation where we’re stressed out and we feel like we’re about to lose. We as Christians should cry out, “It Is Written” and apply scripture to our situation. Never fight a battle on your own, always fight it with The Word of God and prayer. You cannot do that without studying The Word of God. So be a student of God’s Word, so when situations arise you will know what scriptures to turn to and claim “IT IS WRITTEN”!

Love you all,
