Matthew 4:1-11
(Satan Tempts Jesus)
- v5-7. Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘ He shall give His angels charge over you,’
and,
‘ In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’”
Eh... i never realised that the devil actually tempted Jesus by throwing scripture at Him too! I always thought he just said, "throw yourself down and angels will catch you".
So that means the devil knows the Bible as much as we do. And if we don't get the Word right, or don't listen to the Holy Spirit (Who will teach us all things - John 14:26), the devil can actually use God's Word against us!! So could this be one of the reasons why some Christians end up believing the wrong things? Partly because they have been misled by the devil too?
Now, this is scary. That's why Pastor always says which church you go to and who you follow is critical because as the head goes, so goes the body. Follow the wrong head, and your one chance at life is wasted. Pray for your leaders. I am so blessed and grateful that God led me here to this church, to reign in life (Romans 5:17)!

Geez.. praise the LORD! Somehow or another, I believe we don't end up in a church, in a caregroup, in a ministry we are serving in, in our families, our frens... for no reason. Everything that you do, anywhere you go... Daddy God so desires to prosper you!
Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you for His will and to do for His good pleasure.
