MATTHEW 4! BIBLE STUDY WITH LO

SUMMARIES CAN BE FOUND AT BIBLEGATEWAY


Matthew 4
1.       It does not say Jesus knew His temptation was going to take place (i.e. when, where, etc) therefore we too must always be prepared.
·         Why? Because temptation is always something that’s going to divert you from your purpose. Like a fork in the road…The Holy Spirit does know, which is why He tries to build you up in Christ, but you must give the Spirit the opportunity to do so.
2.       The enemy will try and shake your identity in Christ, because the devil knows the Bible (He knows God remember he was an previous angel of God)
3.       Don’t put yourself purposely in harms way in order to tempt God “to save you”. That is not temptation that is a conscious choice.

4.       Devil is persistent, so you have to rebuke him from your life. When thoughts come to your mind that are not positive and don’t build, but tear down. You have to do what Jesus did and tell the devil to flee. Also do not allow people who don’t build you up around in your circle.

God cares deeply about mothers (as we get our motherhood traits from Him). I'll begin with the first testimony The Rocking Chair...        As a mother I've been putting my faith to use daily in order to alleviate much of the stress that comes along with caring for another human being. One of the most stressful moments throughout my day was bedtime. The older Autumn got the more "issues" I had with getting her to sleep. It cause

MATTHEW 9| BIBLE MADE EASY| DEVOTIONAL

Christian Daily Devotional | Chapter 9 BIBLE STUDY W/ LO The enemy has distorted one of the simplest things, which is allowing Christ to forgive us of our mistakes and past, and holding on to guilt, or thinking that someone like you can’t be saved. It takes one step to be saved and forgiven after that you just have to ask the Holy Spirit to help you daily. You’ll do better. 9 … “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” 3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!” 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
