Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” But Jesus answered him, saying, “IT IS WRITTEN, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For IT IS WRITTEN, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For : ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ And Jesus answered and said to him, “IT HAS BEEN SAID, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. - Luke 4:1-13 (NKJV) Even the Son of God was tempted by the enemy, so much more shall we be tempted. nevertheless, by declaring the written and spoken Word of our heavenly Father, He resisted and overcame the devil, putting him in his place. It is written, When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. therefore, when were pressed on every side, declare what thus saith the Lord. Speak Gods Word over your life, and TO the enemy, for we have been given that authority through Christ. Declare and decree... It is written.
