The Areas In Which The Devil Tempts by Belteshazzar1: 11:03pm On Nov 17, 2019
Still on Temptation and Trials

Topic:- Three Areas in which the devil tempts.

Text:-Genesis 3:6; Matthew 4:1-13.

Preacher:-Holy Spirit

Vessel:- Dan'iel Bel-te-shaz'zar

Three Areas in which the devil tempts

There are basically three ways through which the devil tempts.

1) LUST OF THE FLESH
2) LUST OF THE EYES
3) PRIDE OF LIFE

Take note every temptation that comes your way its target is to bring down your Faith in God.
These are the three ways through which the devil tempts. He has no different strategies. For Example in
Genesis 3:6( when he tempts Eve)

¡} The tree is good for Food:-
Lust of the Flesh

¡¡}Pleasant to the Eyes:-
Lust of the Eyes

¡¡¡} A tree to be desired to make one wise:-
Pride of Life .

Now take a look, he has no new trick Matthew 4'1-13( when he tempts Jesus) it has the same basic characteristics.

1⃣Command these stones to be made bread:-
Lust of the Flesh.
Now there is nothing wrong with turning stones to bread. But at that time it was contrary to Gods principle.


2⃣Cast thyself down and prove to me you are God's Son:-
Pride of Life .
This too has the same motive of "if thou be the Son of God". Jesus Christ does not need the commendation of the devil. Whether satan agrees about Him or not that does not change who He is. He is the Son of God. Now if Jesus had thrown himself down it would have been with the intention of proving to the devil, a display of His Ability to satisfy the devil not God. This will be wrong and contrary to Gods principle and Word.

3⃣Showed Him all the kingdom of the World:-
Lust of the Eyes.
This is greed and covetousness at the price of worshipping the devil. May the Lord Help us to overcome
Amen�����
