Devil in the form of snake in Eden |
THE SEED- PART 2
We are having war with powers and principalities, the devil knew what he was doing, he had a plan how to destroy the humanity, he came up once and also planted something in Adam which live in work and progress[more powerful than a nuclear Bomb] without his intruding. It’s neither God tempts us.
“When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire [old sin nature] and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death” [James 1:13-15].
Jamarat in Mina of Saudi Arabia |
When the devil tempted the humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ.The Devil came tempting all the worldly and carnal desires of the humanity but Jesus resisted all these carnal desires.
Matthew 4
The Temptation of Jesus
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry.
3 During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,‘People do not live by bread alone,but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
The temptation of Jesus |
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, 6 and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say,
‘He will order his angels to protect you.And they will hold you up with their handsso you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.”
7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.”
8 Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”
10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say,
‘You must worship the Lord your God
and serve only him.”
11 Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus
Temptation since the creation Joesph,Daniel and Christ resisted the temptation |
And someday when all of us will stand before God and give an account of himself, we won’t be able to indicate that the devil tempted us and all our life was not only involved to fight against the devil. So this mean that we were given something with what we would resist the temptation. Devil in no way can approach a redeemed believer, not through your body, not through your spirit not through your soul, the only 1 way he can communicate with you is the sin flesh (Old sin nature) living in you, which dragging and entailing you without the involving of devil. The believer cannot be demonized or demon possessed because the devil fears the seed of the Holy Spirit in us so that he will indirectly working through the seed of [Old sin nature] implanted in us.The redeemed Believer never falls prey as vicitm to devil to be demon possessed but will be influenced by devil if he he is weak in his faith and in the word of God.
Devil's or Divine Voice ? |
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, SOLD under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I”. [Rom 7:14-15]
You can defeat temptation |
Rom 7:17 “Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me”. I am reborn, I don’t want to sin, this is how I know that I am reborn I hate sin and I admit that Gods law is a good thing. We don’t want to sin because sin brings us disappointments. It’s not us doing but a sin! How do we get rid of it?
Many people don’t understand Gods plan. There on the cross Jesus defeated the father of sin, but old sin nature still alive, it’s still living in reborn people, in people who love God.

“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery” [Gal 5:1].
