Heaven is where God reign Supreme and His words is the only Truth that existed. Holy, pure, just, humble and gracious his kindness and LOVE endures. And that’s how Lucifer was hurled down from heaven and landed on the earth and make it his kingdom of darkness. Always at loggerheads against God but knowing the Truth that he has been defeated once and will always stand defeated face to face. So lies and deception are his weapon. Not to defeat God but at least to take you away from God and ultimately rot and be rotten with him in Eternity.
John the Baptist came so that the Messiah is revealed to the world. At Jordan the barrier where Moses and the Law can not cross over but have a look from Nebo longingly. In and out of the water: The Holy Spirit comes in the form of a Dove hovering over Jesus and the Voice of God blooms “This is my Beloved Son. In whom I am well pleased!”
JESUS is the CHRIST the Messiah The anointed One. The only Way, the only Truth and the only Life that lead to complete rest, the fulfillment of what you were created for: To be at your Glorious, joyous and subliminal best. And that is in being with your Creator from beginning to end. From Nebo Moses longing and lovingly look across Jordan and perhaps seeing JESUS CHRIST at the Cross the Boat that can takes one over to the other side. Faith is the key not the Law.
Before Creation itself you were God’s beloved in his mind, heart and soul. You were created with LOVE to reign Supreme over all creation in his own likeness and image. Eden the only place where a replica of heaven is in place was where you have been rested walking with God. Satan came as a smooth, wise and understanding mentor in the form of a snake humbly gliding and twisting God’s words “Did God command you not to eat anything from the Garden.” The rest is our endless story after stories of living a rotten life in darkness and away from the presence of God and his Kingdom of LIGHT.
Full of the Holy Spirit, JESUS CHRIST was tempted. Fasting for forty days, weak and hungry. Satan reminds “If you are Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” JESUS responded “It is written, ‘men does not live on bread alone.'”
Next, looking over all the kingdoms of the world in an instant. “I will give you all thier authority and splendour, for it has been given to me, and i can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'”
And into the highest point in the temple of Jerusalem: “Throw yourself down from here. For it is written: “He will commands his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in thier hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” Jesus answered and says “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”
You are God’s beloved Son and not just a son. Satan remind you with lies and deception with half truths and question mark at each turn. With abundant knowlege of God but the aim is not to give you firm rooting in God but rather to take you away is the Goal.
JESUS CHRIST is the answer for all problems and troubles of the world whose root is Satan the master deciever and LIARS. Jesus is God’s Son. He died at the Cross for all our Sins and Transgressions. Have Faith in his shedded blood the sacrifice of LOVE and you will live in eternal peace. The Holy Spirit is His gift for you are counted righteous in Christ. God’s gracious voice “You are my beloved Son, I am well pleased” is addressed to you too.
Do not heed to Satan. Let the Spirit of God in you be your guide. Live in God’s words and the bread will comes. Forty years in the wilderness; Manna and the Quails arrived timely. Keep your trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind power and authority and the rest of your needs and requirements will come. God knows what is best for you. In his perfect timing your needs will be met.
Satan does not come with horns and fearful face. He may be your best friend. He can be your trusted mentor and guide. Your lover or your all time companion your smartphone in hand. When the line is crossed be bold enough to tell: Satan go away. I am GOD’S beloved Son in whom my God is well pleased. Your test will not fail me!
