The Greatest Tool To Victory

Do you feel like Satan is constantly bombarding you with lies and oppression? Do you feel like the enemy has been defeating you? Have you grown tried from trying to defeat the enemy? I think this blog post will help you. While reading in Matthew 4, I noticed how Jesus fought the devil. He consistently and persistently used the same tactic with every temptation and lie. That tactic or tool was the WORD,Jesus used the word against the enemy every time he came to him.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

This is the first account where the enemy comes to Jesus after fasting for 40 days and nights. The first three words that Jesus utters is : It is written. (THE WORD)

Jesus didn’t validate satans claims or lies that the enemy implied by saying “if” you be the son of God. Jesus simply told Satan the truth, the word. When in doubt the truth always wins. A lot of times the enemy will attack Christians with the same tactic, if you are a Christian etc. Or he will say if you did what’s right why are you suffering? Satan will use the same tactics on us, but we need to follow Jesus example. It’s not through our works, history are anything it’s through the word. Jesus could have gave Satan a whole speech on how he had dominion over him and all the power he had, but he didn’t. He used the WORD.

5  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Once again here Jesus uses the word and in the attempt from the enemy for Jesus to take his own life. Which I want to say this the length Satan will try to go through to destroy you. But he can be defeated as Jesus did by using the word.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

On Satan last attempt for that season he goes to the extreme by even suggesting that Jesus fall down and worship him and have a worldly kingdom. Jesus defeats him though by THE WORD!

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.

When Jesus said this the enemy had to finally flee. He eventually tried to come back but, no doubt Jesus used the WORd again and again.(11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Satan may have tried to use just about every trick in the book to break you down and make you fall, or to defeat you,but Jesus has given the blueprint for us, he has shown us thatwe can stand on the word and win! If you stand on God’s word Satan will have to flee and God will comfort you and help you to stand. Remember what Hebrews 4:12 says: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
