  • And i love donuts.
  • 00:00:02.014 --> 00:00:03.682
  • I really do.
  • 00:00:03.682 --> 00:00:05.117
  • I should have been a policeman.
  • 00:00:05.117 --> 00:00:14.893
  • Now that donut tempts me.
  • 00:00:15.461 --> 00:00:18.931
  • Do you think i ought to just take one bite?
  • 00:00:19.798 --> 00:00:22.101
  • What are you saying? you just want one bite.
  • 00:00:22.101 --> 00:00:24.603
  • How are you?
  • 00:00:24.603 --> 00:00:24.870
  • Thank.
  • 00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:29.074
  • Well, i we won't vote on it.
  • 00:00:29.675 --> 00:00:32.544
  • But i'll tell you something that that is a real to.
  • 00:00:33.579 --> 00:00:35.647
  • I'm tempted to.
  • 00:00:35.647 --> 00:00:38.617
  • Five second rule.
  • 00:00:39.051 --> 00:01:01.974
  • We're looking at our scripture.
  • 00:01:02.608 --> 00:01:05.511
  • It says that jesus,
  • 00:01:05.511 --> 00:01:06.879
  • After he was baptized.
  • 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.681
  • And what a tremendous, tremendous moment that was.
  • 00:01:09.681 --> 00:01:12.784
  • John the baptist called him out.
  • 00:01:13.485 --> 00:01:16.622
  • Jordan river.
  • 00:01:16.989 --> 00:01:18.257
  • Buried. resurrected.
  • 00:01:18.257 --> 00:01:20.692
  • And when he came out of the water,
  • 00:01:20.692 --> 00:01:22.394
  • You have one of the few times that all the bible,
  • 00:01:22.394 --> 00:01:25.531
  • The trinity, is present.
  • 00:01:25.531 --> 00:01:28.100
  • Jesus in flesh.
  • 00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:29.668
  • God, son,
  • 00:01:29.668 --> 00:01:31.770
  • The holy spirit was there.
  • 00:01:31.770 --> 00:01:33.238
  • And the symbol of a dove, and then a voice from heaven.
  • 00:01:33.238 --> 00:01:37.476
  • God spoke and affirmed that it says as he looked at jesus.
  • 00:01:37.476 --> 00:01:42.681
  • This is my beloved son, in whom i am well pleased.
  • 00:01:42.681 --> 00:01:48.020
  • What a tremendous moment.
  • 00:01:48.587 --> 00:01:49.955
  • When did this happen?
  • 00:01:49.955 --> 00:01:51.690
  • In the beginning of jesus public ministry.
  • 00:01:51.690 --> 00:01:55.160
  • He's coming out of obscurity.
  • 00:01:55.794 --> 00:01:57.963
  • He moves into the public.
  • 00:01:57.963 --> 00:01:59.765
  • And here we have this mountaintop experience
  • 00:01:59.765 --> 00:02:03.669
  • Of baptism.
  • 00:02:04.002 --> 00:02:05.804
  • And then on the heels of that,
  • 00:02:05.804 --> 00:02:07.706
  • We read in our scripture the story, the temptation.
  • 00:02:07.706 --> 00:02:11.343
  • Jesus.
  • 00:02:11.343 --> 00:02:12.110
  • You find it in luke chapter four.
  • 00:02:12.110 --> 00:02:14.213
  • You try to find in matthew four and a little,
  • 00:02:14.213 --> 00:02:17.115
  • Little touch of it in mark.
  • 00:02:17.115 --> 00:02:18.817
  • All three gospels.
  • 00:02:18.817 --> 00:02:21.019
  • And you read there in luke's
  • 00:02:21.019 --> 00:02:22.988
  • Gospel, a very interesting phrase.
  • 00:02:22.988 --> 00:02:25.891
  • Open your bible, if you would, to not luke,
  • 00:02:25.891 --> 00:02:28.927
  • But matthew four, chapter number one.
  • 00:02:28.927 --> 00:02:32.464
  • It says, then jesus was led by the spirit
  • 00:02:32.464 --> 00:02:36.134
  • Into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
  • 00:02:36.134 --> 00:02:39.438
  • Actually, that would be a better translation.
  • 00:02:39.438 --> 00:02:42.174
  • The holy spirit drove jesus into the wilderness
  • 00:02:42.174 --> 00:02:47.779
  • Of all things,
  • 00:02:48.113 --> 00:02:50.349
  • To be tempted by the devil.
  • 00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:54.253
  • Can you imagine such a thing?
  • 00:02:54.886 --> 00:02:58.190
  • Jesus baptized in the jordan
  • 00:02:58.190 --> 00:03:01.260
  • Right across not many miles away from jericho,
  • 00:03:01.260 --> 00:03:05.397
  • And he went there into the mount of temptation.
  • 00:03:05.397 --> 00:03:08.600
  • By the way.
  • 00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:09.801
  • We looked at five mountains, right?
  • 00:03:09.801 --> 00:03:12.871
  • But the mount of temptation is the only universal mountain
  • 00:03:12.871 --> 00:03:16.642
  • That all of us have climbed, and all of us will climb.
  • 00:03:16.642 --> 00:03:20.846
  • It's a universal experience.
  • 00:03:20.846 --> 00:03:23.548
  • All of us will be saying, you can't run.
  • 00:03:23.548 --> 00:03:25.951
  • You can't escape sin.
  • 00:03:25.951 --> 00:03:27.786
  • And jesus was driven.
  • 00:03:27.786 --> 00:03:29.821
  • Enter the wilderness to be tempted
  • 00:03:29.821 --> 00:03:33.325
  • By satan.
  • 00:03:33.325 --> 00:03:36.461
  • And what a deserted place as was.
  • 00:03:36.461 --> 00:03:39.231
  • I have been right in that area.
  • 00:03:39.231 --> 00:03:41.667
  • And you can see there what is called the mount of temptation
  • 00:03:41.667 --> 00:03:46.972
  • Crew.
  • 00:03:47.205 --> 00:03:47.873
  • Tania is what they call it.
  • 00:03:47.873 --> 00:03:49.541
  • They have a monastery up there.
  • 00:03:49.541 --> 00:03:51.576
  • You could see it in the distance,
  • 00:03:51.576 --> 00:03:53.645
  • And you can see all the sandstone that's there.
  • 00:03:53.645 --> 00:03:56.715
  • Miles and miles, they call it the place of desolation.
  • 00:03:56.715 --> 00:04:00.786
  • It is in the southern part of judea.
  • 00:04:00.786 --> 00:04:04.623
  • And there jesus
  • 00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:06.224
  • Came out of this tremendous experience of baptism,
  • 00:04:06.224 --> 00:04:09.594
  • And he was
  • 00:04:09.895 --> 00:04:11.063
  • Driven into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
  • 00:04:11.063 --> 00:04:14.199
  • Remember jesus now? he was.
  • 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.967
  • The bible tells us about 30 years old.
  • 00:04:15.967 --> 00:04:18.770
  • He was a young man.
  • 00:04:18.770 --> 00:04:20.472
  • He'd been there 40 days and 40 nights without food.
  • 00:04:20.472 --> 00:04:23.909
  • He was hungry.
  • 00:04:23.909 --> 00:04:25.410
  • He'd been there alone.
  • 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:27.579
  • He'd come from a family that protected him.
  • 00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:31.283
  • Nazareth.
  • 00:04:31.583 --> 00:04:33.085
  • His mother, his surrogate father,
  • 00:04:33.085 --> 00:04:35.654
  • Protected there in the little synagogue.
  • 00:04:35.654 --> 00:04:38.557
  • Protected there.
  • 00:04:38.957 --> 00:04:39.925
  • He came sheltered.
  • 00:04:39.925 --> 00:04:40.992
  • And now he is out in the world.
  • 00:04:40.992 --> 00:04:43.128
  • He is baptized.
  • 00:04:43.128 --> 00:04:44.496
  • He's announced that he is going out into his mission.
  • 00:04:44.496 --> 00:04:49.067
  • And then we see the temptations come.
  • 00:04:49.868 --> 00:04:53.205
  • And they were very,
  • 00:04:53.672 --> 00:04:55.574
  • Very real and alive to him.
  • 00:04:55.574 --> 00:04:58.610
  • What was the temptation of jesus all about?
  • 00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:01.046
  • Now get this
  • 00:05:01.046 --> 00:05:02.614
  • Or you'll miss the whole thrust of our scripture.
  • 00:05:02.614 --> 00:05:06.184
  • Jesus was tempted
  • 00:05:06.618 --> 00:05:08.920
  • At the point of his
  • 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.223
  • Life's purpose.
  • 00:05:11.223 --> 00:05:13.992
  • I get that
  • 00:05:13.992 --> 00:05:16.161
  • He was tempted
  • 00:05:16.161 --> 00:05:17.529
  • At the point of his life's purpose.
  • 00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:20.532
  • What was the role?
  • 00:05:20.966 --> 00:05:22.434
  • The message, the calling of jesus?
  • 00:05:22.434 --> 00:05:25.737
  • You find it
  • 00:05:26.071 --> 00:05:27.773
  • In what we call the lord's prayer,
  • 00:05:27.773 --> 00:05:29.775
  • Which is really the model prayer.
  • 00:05:29.775 --> 00:05:31.510
  • James 17 is the lord's prayer.
  • 00:05:31.510 --> 00:05:34.379
  • The prayer we call the lord's prayer is a model of prayer.
  • 00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:37.115
  • Listen to it.
  • 00:05:37.115 --> 00:05:38.016
  • It gives us the purpose of jesus life.
  • 00:05:38.016 --> 00:05:40.752
  • Our father, who art in heaven, our abba,
  • 00:05:40.752 --> 00:05:43.822
  • Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
  • 00:05:43.822 --> 00:05:47.025
  • It establishes reverence and worship in the beginning.
  • 00:05:47.025 --> 00:05:50.762
  • And here we have his life purpose.
  • 00:05:50.762 --> 00:05:53.198
  • Thy kingdom come.
  • 00:05:53.198 --> 00:05:55.167
  • Get it!
  • 00:05:55.167 --> 00:05:56.268
  • Thy will be done on earth
  • 00:05:56.268 --> 00:06:00.272
  • As it is in heaven.
  • 00:06:00.272 --> 00:06:03.575
  • That was the calling of jesus
  • 00:06:03.575 --> 00:06:05.677
  • When he came in flesh.
  • 00:06:05.677 --> 00:06:08.213
  • That was the kingdom of god among us.
  • 00:06:08.213 --> 00:06:11.550
  • By the way, in the bible you read kingdom of god,
  • 00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:14.152
  • Kingdom of heaven. they're interchangeable.
  • 00:06:14.152 --> 00:06:16.755
  • Where do you find the kingdom of god?
  • 00:06:17.556 --> 00:06:19.024
  • Where do you find the kingdom of heaven?
  • 00:06:19.024 --> 00:06:20.659
  • Where god is king.
  • 00:06:20.659 --> 00:06:23.495
  • Jesus is lord.
  • 00:06:23.495 --> 00:06:25.297
  • There's a kingdom of god.
  • 00:06:25.297 --> 00:06:26.631
  • For wherever you find it, here.
  • 00:06:26.631 --> 00:06:28.200
  • Now. forever.
  • 00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:29.034
  • Pre-history in history. post history.
  • 00:06:29.034 --> 00:06:31.403
  • That's the kingdom of god.
  • 00:06:31.403 --> 00:06:32.704
  • When jesus came,
  • 00:06:32.704 --> 00:06:34.072
  • He brought the kingdom fleshed out among us
  • 00:06:34.072 --> 00:06:38.276
  • And called for the will of god to be accomplished
  • 00:06:38.276 --> 00:06:41.746
  • In the lives of people.
  • 00:06:41.746 --> 00:06:43.281
  • He came to call the world into the kingdom of god.
  • 00:06:43.281 --> 00:06:47.619
  • That was his purpose to save, to salvage,
  • 00:06:47.619 --> 00:06:51.122
  • To rebuild, to bring us into god's kingdom.
  • 00:06:51.122 --> 00:06:54.125
  • That was the calling of god,
  • 00:06:54.125 --> 00:06:56.962
  • And therefore he was tempted
  • 00:06:56.962 --> 00:06:59.598
  • In light of that purpose.
  • 00:06:59.598 --> 00:07:03.835
  • So this moves his temptations
  • 00:07:04.469 --> 00:07:06.771
  • Into another, another realm.
  • 00:07:06.771 --> 00:07:09.474
  • Let's look at some.
  • 00:07:09.474 --> 00:07:10.609
  • There are three of them.
  • 00:07:10.609 --> 00:07:11.943
  • We'll follow matthew
  • 00:07:11.943 --> 00:07:14.312
  • 18, fasted 40 days for tonight.
  • 00:07:14.946 --> 00:07:17.249
  • This is matthew four.
  • 00:07:17.249 --> 00:07:19.618
  • And the tempter came and said to him,
  • 00:07:19.618 --> 00:07:22.153
  • If you are the son of god, a better translation
  • 00:07:22.153 --> 00:07:25.156
  • That would be, since you are the son of god.
  • 00:07:25.156 --> 00:07:27.659
  • The devil knew he was the son of god.
  • 00:07:27.659 --> 00:07:29.594
  • Jesus had now come to see his role, his calling.
  • 00:07:29.594 --> 00:07:33.098
  • He said, since you are the son of god,
  • 00:07:33.098 --> 00:07:35.166
  • Command that these stones become bread.
  • 00:07:35.166 --> 00:07:38.436
  • Oh, a lot of commentaries by which a commentary,
  • 00:07:39.404 --> 00:07:43.041
  • A commentary, or what people that read the scripture
  • 00:07:43.041 --> 00:07:46.444
  • Who are scholars and students and they try
  • 00:07:46.444 --> 00:07:49.114
  • To help us understand what that scripture is teaching,
  • 00:07:49.114 --> 00:07:52.217
  • And they make comments on it.
  • 00:07:52.851 --> 00:07:54.519
  • They write about it,
  • 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:55.487
  • They tell us what those words mean.
  • 00:07:55.487 --> 00:07:57.923
  • I read dozens of them.
  • 00:07:57.923 --> 00:08:00.292
  • Most commentaries at this scripture,
  • 00:08:00.292 --> 00:08:02.294
  • You know what they say the temptation of jesus was.
  • 00:08:02.294 --> 00:08:05.297
  • They say he hadn't eaten anything
  • 00:08:05.297 --> 00:08:07.732
  • For 40 days and he was hungry.
  • 00:08:07.732 --> 00:08:10.168
  • And therefore you go out there.
  • 00:08:10.168 --> 00:08:11.903
  • By the way, i've been in this general area many times,
  • 00:08:11.903 --> 00:08:15.440
  • And they have rocks out there that really look like
  • 00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:18.143
  • Little loaves of bread.
  • 00:08:18.143 --> 00:08:19.911
  • You walk the streets of jerusalem.
  • 00:08:19.911 --> 00:08:21.713
  • They sell on the street bread today,
  • 00:08:21.713 --> 00:08:24.783
  • Little, little rolls of bread that look exactly like
  • 00:08:24.783 --> 00:08:27.986
  • Those rocks.
  • 00:08:27.986 --> 00:08:29.120
  • So these scholars say jesus looked at all those rocks
  • 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.424
  • He had eaten anything.
  • 00:08:32.424 --> 00:08:33.425
  • And 40 days before tonight.
  • 00:08:33.425 --> 00:08:35.360
  • And satan said,
  • 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.161
  • Why don't you just zap those stones
  • 00:08:36.161 --> 00:08:38.430
  • And make some hot bread
  • 00:08:38.430 --> 00:08:39.598
  • Like your mother makes like, hot bread,
  • 00:08:39.598 --> 00:08:41.166
  • Like they sell in jerusalem on the streets.
  • 00:08:41.166 --> 00:08:44.102
  • They said that was his temptation
  • 00:08:44.102 --> 00:08:45.837
  • To satisfy his hunger.
  • 00:08:45.837 --> 00:08:47.706
  • They said jesus was at a weak point.
  • 00:08:47.706 --> 00:08:50.241
  • Therefore, that's when satan came to to tempt him.
  • 00:08:50.241 --> 00:08:53.445
  • By the way, i disagree with that.
  • 00:08:54.145 --> 00:08:57.482
  • I think jesus was at a strong point spiritually
  • 00:08:57.482 --> 00:09:01.519
  • Because he had been with the father.
  • 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.255
  • He'd been alone, he'd been fasting,
  • 00:09:04.255 --> 00:09:06.224
  • He'd been praying, he'd been listening.
  • 00:09:06.224 --> 00:09:08.159
  • He'd been trying to see how god wanted to live out his life.
  • 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.396
  • And therefore, instead of being a low point,
  • 00:09:11.396 --> 00:09:13.732
  • It was a high point,
  • 00:09:13.732 --> 00:09:15.133
  • As he was full of god and full of the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:15.133 --> 00:09:18.737
  • And by the way,
  • 00:09:19.104 --> 00:09:20.171
  • What does temptation usually come to you and me?
  • 00:09:20.171 --> 00:09:22.173
  • It comes at low points
  • 00:09:22.173 --> 00:09:25.043
  • And i'm through. i'm fed up.
  • 00:09:25.043 --> 00:09:26.511
  • I can't go anywhere.
  • 00:09:26.511 --> 00:09:27.545
  • I'm out of bullets. i'm empty.
  • 00:09:27.545 --> 00:09:29.114
  • I'm distraught.
  • 00:09:29.114 --> 00:09:30.582
  • We come to an and he comes at high points.
  • 00:09:30.582 --> 00:09:32.484
  • We get up.
  • 00:09:32.484 --> 00:09:33.151
  • Tremendous.
  • 00:09:33.151 --> 00:09:34.085
  • We've seen that in our study of mountains.
  • 00:09:34.085 --> 00:09:35.654
  • How many people in the mountain.
  • 00:09:35.654 --> 00:09:37.322
  • They have great experience.
  • 00:09:37.322 --> 00:09:38.757
  • They come out of the valley
  • 00:09:38.757 --> 00:09:40.058
  • And the bottom falls out of their lives.
  • 00:09:40.058 --> 00:09:41.726
  • How many times we already seen that?
  • 00:09:41.726 --> 00:09:43.728
  • So we have jesus here.
  • 00:09:44.195 --> 00:09:45.397
  • I say get a high point and satan comes and says, man,
  • 00:09:45.397 --> 00:09:50.568
  • Since you're the son of god, turn these stones into bread.
  • 00:09:50.568 --> 00:09:53.571
  • It was not just a temptation to satisfy his own hunger.
  • 00:09:53.571 --> 00:09:57.842
  • It was a temptation.
  • 00:09:57.842 --> 00:09:58.943
  • Remember as to how he would call the world to god.
  • 00:09:58.943 --> 00:10:05.850
  • What was it about?
  • 00:10:06.284 --> 00:10:08.286
  • Satan said, man, if you just give everybody
  • 00:10:08.286 --> 00:10:11.222
  • Bread, they'll follow you.
  • 00:10:11.222 --> 00:10:14.492
  • That's your purpose.
  • 00:10:14.959 --> 00:10:16.027
  • Have people follow you
  • 00:10:16.027 --> 00:10:17.929
  • To enter the kingdom of god, to let the will of god
  • 00:10:17.929 --> 00:10:20.465
  • Becomes in their life.
  • 00:10:20.465 --> 00:10:21.733
  • Zip bang!
  • 00:10:21.733 --> 00:10:22.634
  • Just from muslim bread.
  • 00:10:22.634 --> 00:10:24.469
  • They'll follow you.
  • 00:10:24.469 --> 00:10:26.271
  • If you doubt this, if i could say today.
  • 00:10:26.271 --> 00:10:28.773
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:10:28.773 --> 00:10:30.141
  • Everybody here, i'm here.
  • 00:10:30.141 --> 00:10:31.276
  • Give you plenty of bread for the rest of your life.
  • 00:10:31.276 --> 00:10:33.411
  • And you can interpret
  • 00:10:33.411 --> 00:10:34.379
  • Bread as bread or bread as we use in slang.
  • 00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:37.615
  • I'm going to give you all the stuff
  • 00:10:37.615 --> 00:10:38.983
  • You need to live out the rest of your life.
  • 00:10:38.983 --> 00:10:41.653
  • If you want that, just follow me.
  • 00:10:41.653 --> 00:10:43.655
  • I have a feeling we'd have a crowd going out that door.
  • 00:10:43.655 --> 00:10:48.626
  • That was a temptation.
  • 00:10:49.094 --> 00:10:51.296
  • Feed everybody.
  • 00:10:51.296 --> 00:10:52.731
  • Give everybody what they need.
  • 00:10:52.731 --> 00:10:54.933
  • This.
  • 00:10:54.933 --> 00:10:55.767
  • Ladies and gentlemen, if you know
  • 00:10:55.767 --> 00:10:56.868
  • Anything about history hour, today's world.
  • 00:10:56.868 --> 00:10:59.571
  • That's the call of the communist.
  • 00:10:59.571 --> 00:11:02.407
  • I'll feed you.
  • 00:11:02.407 --> 00:11:03.975
  • I'll look after you.
  • 00:11:03.975 --> 00:11:05.343
  • I'll give you everything you need.
  • 00:11:05.343 --> 00:11:07.512
  • You are to work. we don't have to do anything.
  • 00:11:07.512 --> 00:11:09.681
  • We'll take from these and give to others.
  • 00:11:09.681 --> 00:11:11.583
  • Will have a level of society.
  • 00:11:11.583 --> 00:11:13.351
  • Man, i'll give you bread.
  • 00:11:13.351 --> 00:11:15.520
  • It's all covered.
  • 00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:16.821
  • Cradle to the grave.
  • 00:11:16.821 --> 00:11:18.957
  • A tremendous appeal, then and today.
  • 00:11:18.957 --> 00:11:22.794
  • Is it not?
  • 00:11:22.794 --> 00:11:24.596
  • To every one of us, when you think about it.
  • 00:11:24.596 --> 00:11:26.965
  • You mean i all you.
  • 00:11:26.965 --> 00:11:28.133
  • And i'm going to have everything
  • 00:11:28.133 --> 00:11:29.267
  • I need to live this life and just bring home the bread.
  • 00:11:29.267 --> 00:11:32.737
  • You've got to follow in me.
  • 00:11:32.737 --> 00:11:35.573
  • But what did jesus say?
  • 00:11:35.573 --> 00:11:38.076
  • Jesus quoted scripture here.
  • 00:11:38.676 --> 00:11:41.746
  • He quoted a passage from deuteronomy eight.
  • 00:11:41.746 --> 00:11:44.516
  • We're going to see the other two
  • 00:11:44.516 --> 00:11:45.784
  • Temptations recorded passages from deuteronomy six.
  • 00:11:45.784 --> 00:11:48.853
  • And jesus said to satan.
  • 00:11:49.387 --> 00:11:51.289
  • Man cannot live by bread alone,
  • 00:11:51.289 --> 00:11:54.759
  • But by every word
  • 00:11:55.193 --> 00:11:56.795
  • That comes forth that proceeds
  • 00:11:56.795 --> 00:11:59.564
  • From the mouth of god.
  • 00:11:59.564 --> 00:12:03.034
  • Everybody wants a happy home.
  • 00:12:03.668 --> 00:12:06.671
  • But let's be honest.
  • 00:12:06.671 --> 00:12:08.173
  • A happy home doesn't just happen.
  • 00:12:08.173 --> 00:12:11.075
  • It's built.
  • 00:12:11.075 --> 00:12:12.343
  • It's shaped.
  • 00:12:12.343 --> 00:12:13.778
  • Day by day by day.
  • 00:12:13.778 --> 00:12:15.914
  • That's why i want to encourage you to read
  • 00:12:15.914 --> 00:12:18.483
  • This little booklet, cardinal rules for a happy home.

  • 00:12:27.492 --> 00:12:30.595
  • In the page of this book each day
  • 00:12:31.329 --> 00:12:33.097
  • You will find a simple rhythm
  • 00:12:33.097 --> 00:12:36.067
  • As of scripture,
  • 00:12:36.067 --> 00:12:37.902
  • Practical, down to earth navigation,
  • 00:12:37.902 --> 00:12:40.839
  • And a guided prayer to help you bring it all home.
  • 00:12:40.839 --> 00:12:45.343
  • We're not talking about something complicated here.
  • 00:12:45.343 --> 00:12:47.979
  • We're talking about just 15 minutes a day.
  • 00:12:47.979 --> 00:12:50.982
  • 15 minutes.
  • 00:12:50.982 --> 00:12:52.684

  • Because when christ is at the center, guess what?
  • 00:13:04.495 --> 00:13:07.465
  • Everything else changes.
  • 00:13:07.465 --> 00:13:10.468
  • Conversations change.
  • 00:13:10.969 --> 00:13:12.837
  • Priorities change.
  • 00:13:12.837 --> 00:13:14.472

  • And begin your 90 day journey right now.
  • 00:13:23.982 --> 00:13:40.498
  • He said, man can't live by bread alone,
  • 00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:43.868
  • But by the principles of god that comes through his mouth.
  • 00:13:43.868 --> 00:13:47.505
  • That's how we find life.
  • 00:13:47.505 --> 00:13:49.240
  • Then look at the second temptation.
  • 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.675
  • Remember the point.
  • 00:13:50.675 --> 00:13:52.443
  • How are you going to bring this kingdom to pass?
  • 00:13:52.443 --> 00:13:54.946
  • How you would accomplish a purpose in your life?
  • 00:13:54.946 --> 00:13:57.382
  • Look at this.
  • 00:13:57.382 --> 00:13:58.416
  • And then the devil took him into the holy city,
  • 00:13:58.416 --> 00:14:00.818
  • Had him stand
  • 00:14:01.185 --> 00:14:02.220
  • On the pinnacle of the temple, and said to jesus,
  • 00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:05.056
  • Friends, you are the son of god.
  • 00:14:05.757 --> 00:14:08.660
  • Throw yourself down.
  • 00:14:09.127 --> 00:14:11.129
  • And then the devil quotes a scripture,
  • 00:14:11.129 --> 00:14:14.032
  • Psalm 91.
  • 00:14:14.332 --> 00:14:16.567
  • He will command his angels concerning you,
  • 00:14:16.567 --> 00:14:20.004
  • And their hands will bear you up,
  • 00:14:20.004 --> 00:14:23.107
  • So that you will not strike your foot
  • 00:14:23.107 --> 00:14:25.843
  • Against a stone mine.
  • 00:14:25.843 --> 00:14:28.947
  • It's like the devil said jesus.
  • 00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.950
  • I know i should have realized you're a spiritual person
  • 00:14:31.950 --> 00:14:35.887
  • And the idea of feeding people the physical answer
  • 00:14:35.887 --> 00:14:39.524
  • Your spiritual.
  • 00:14:39.524 --> 00:14:40.491
  • Therefore, you know the bible and satan
  • 00:14:40.491 --> 00:14:42.293
  • Says, i know the bible by the way.
  • 00:14:42.293 --> 00:14:43.962
  • He knows the bible.
  • 00:14:43.962 --> 00:14:44.929
  • But any of us, he's our baby from the bible.
  • 00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:47.865
  • He said, you know,
  • 00:14:47.865 --> 00:14:48.967
  • You said you have faith and you believe in the father.
  • 00:14:48.967 --> 00:14:52.170
  • You just just use your faith and go to the temple
  • 00:14:52.170 --> 00:14:55.406
  • And just do a swan dive right down off a temple
  • 00:14:55.406 --> 00:14:58.576
  • 40 or 50ft high.
  • 00:14:58.576 --> 00:14:59.911
  • By the way, they're on solomon's board.
  • 00:14:59.911 --> 00:15:01.679
  • Just jump down 450ft.
  • 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.415
  • And this psalm 91 says
  • 00:15:04.415 --> 00:15:07.251
  • That the angels will come and catch you,
  • 00:15:07.251 --> 00:15:09.654
  • And you will not even stub your toe.
  • 00:15:09.654 --> 00:15:11.723
  • You will not have a scratch on you.
  • 00:15:11.723 --> 00:15:13.691
  • And the devil said, if you'll do that for
  • 00:15:13.691 --> 00:15:16.561
  • All the people who follow you, say, man, here's a miracle.
  • 00:15:16.561 --> 00:15:20.331
  • This is the messiah, man.
  • 00:15:20.331 --> 00:15:22.133
  • He's got it.
  • 00:15:22.133 --> 00:15:22.900
  • He's of god.
  • 00:15:22.900 --> 00:15:23.735
  • He he is a supernatural person.
  • 00:15:23.735 --> 00:15:26.137
  • He said that's all you had to do.
  • 00:15:26.137 --> 00:15:27.972
  • Just claim that verse and jump off the top of the temple,
  • 00:15:27.972 --> 00:15:31.943
  • And then they'll all fall down and fall
  • 00:15:31.943 --> 00:15:34.679
  • On you and worship you.
  • 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.215
  • You know what that is?
  • 00:15:37.682 --> 00:15:39.751
  • That's the sin of presumption.
  • 00:15:39.751 --> 00:15:42.620
  • It's a sin.
  • 00:15:42.954 --> 00:15:43.821
  • By the way, this scripture is quoted
  • 00:15:43.821 --> 00:15:45.289
  • Out of context, totally different meaning.
  • 00:15:45.289 --> 00:15:47.925
  • And this satan is a master.
  • 00:15:47.925 --> 00:15:50.628
  • And some people who stand in the pulpit are masters
  • 00:15:50.628 --> 00:15:53.464
  • At twisting god's truth
  • 00:15:53.464 --> 00:15:56.234
  • And making it say what they want to say.
  • 00:15:56.234 --> 00:15:58.269
  • People over the bible say, here's a promise in the bible,
  • 00:15:58.269 --> 00:16:01.672
  • I'm going to claim this promise.
  • 00:16:01.672 --> 00:16:04.275
  • All the promises there are not for you and me.
  • 00:16:04.275 --> 00:16:07.311
  • There are plenty of them that are.
  • 00:16:07.311 --> 00:16:08.746
  • But you can't just go in there
  • 00:16:08.746 --> 00:16:10.314
  • And play a biblical gymnastics.
  • 00:16:10.314 --> 00:16:12.650
  • In fact. well, i want this one.
  • 00:16:12.650 --> 00:16:15.186
  • No, no.
  • 00:16:15.186 --> 00:16:16.220
  • And that's what satan did with jesus.
  • 00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:19.557
  • And that's the sin of presumption.
  • 00:16:19.557 --> 00:16:22.093
  • And so he comes and says, you know,
  • 00:16:22.093 --> 00:16:24.896
  • Just jump off the temple and god will bear you up.
  • 00:16:24.896 --> 00:16:28.499
  • Don't presume on god.
  • 00:16:28.499 --> 00:16:31.235
  • Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:16:31.235 --> 00:16:32.270
  • You say, well, obviously god wants to do this.
  • 00:16:32.270 --> 00:16:34.906
  • Well, i'm dating this guy and he's not a christian,
  • 00:16:34.906 --> 00:16:37.975
  • And i'm the only chance
  • 00:16:37.975 --> 00:16:39.444
  • He'll have ever to become a christian.
  • 00:16:39.444 --> 00:16:41.746
  • Therefore, i'm going to keep on dating him and marry him.
  • 00:16:41.746 --> 00:16:45.049
  • You're presuming on god?
  • 00:16:45.049 --> 00:16:47.285
  • No, no.
  • 00:16:47.285 --> 00:16:51.022
  • Well, just jump off
  • 00:16:51.489 --> 00:16:53.691
  • And look at jesus answer to this
  • 00:16:53.691 --> 00:16:56.527
  • As all of his answers here from six.
  • 00:16:56.527 --> 00:16:59.864
  • He says, on the other hand, it is written in verse seven,
  • 00:16:59.864 --> 00:17:03.134
  • You shall not test
  • 00:17:03.568 --> 00:17:06.838
  • Put to the test the lord your god.
  • 00:17:06.838 --> 00:17:09.740
  • Don't test god, manipulate
  • 00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:12.210
  • God, confuse scripture,
  • 00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:15.379
  • And this will destroy your life and will invalidate
  • 00:17:15.379 --> 00:17:19.517
  • Any dealing with temptation.
  • 00:17:20.118 --> 00:17:23.454
  • Now here comes the third today.
  • 00:17:23.454 --> 00:17:25.223
  • Remember the purpose for all this temptation.
  • 00:17:25.223 --> 00:17:28.526
  • Satan was trying to say, boy, this is how you will
  • 00:17:28.526 --> 00:17:32.630
  • Win the world by miracle.
  • 00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:34.966
  • Chop off that temple's head when you survive that.
  • 00:17:34.966 --> 00:17:38.669
  • They'll follow you.
  • 00:17:38.669 --> 00:17:40.204
  • It's the same temptation jesus had on the cross.
  • 00:17:40.204 --> 00:17:43.107
  • Remember they said.
  • 00:17:43.574 --> 00:17:44.809
  • But if you'll jump down.
  • 00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:46.110
  • If you come off the cross. every
  • 00:17:46.110 --> 00:17:49.247
  • He didn't come down off the cross.
  • 00:17:50.014 --> 00:17:51.649
  • He didn't jump off the cross.
  • 00:17:51.649 --> 00:17:53.351
  • He didn't jump down off that temple.
  • 00:17:53.351 --> 00:17:55.486
  • Had he
  • 00:17:55.486 --> 00:17:56.687
  • Jumped down off the cross, they would have said, oh, sure.
  • 00:17:56.687 --> 00:17:59.657
  • This is messiah.
  • 00:17:59.657 --> 00:18:01.125
  • And for a generation they may have believed in him,
  • 00:18:01.125 --> 00:18:04.795
  • But for a thousand years they would not have believed
  • 00:18:04.795 --> 00:18:08.566
  • In him. and we do believe in him
  • 00:18:08.566 --> 00:18:10.535
  • Because he stayed on that cross.
  • 00:18:10.535 --> 00:18:13.304
  • He suffered for us.
  • 00:18:13.771 --> 00:18:15.573
  • And then peace.
  • 00:18:15.573 --> 00:18:18.876
  • He rose from the dead.
  • 00:18:19.343 --> 00:18:21.145
  • Without the cross, there'd be no salvation.
  • 00:18:21.145 --> 00:18:25.550
  • So we look at the third temptation,
  • 00:18:26.317 --> 00:18:31.522
  • And it is strong indeed.
  • 00:18:32.056 --> 00:18:34.959
  • And he comes.
  • 00:18:35.326 --> 00:18:35.893
  • It says,
  • 00:18:35.893 --> 00:18:38.462
  • The devil took him to a very high mountain,
  • 00:18:38.462 --> 00:18:40.731
  • And showed him all the kings of the world and their glory.
  • 00:18:40.731 --> 00:18:44.635
  • And he said to him, the devil, all these things i will
  • 00:18:44.635 --> 00:18:48.072
  • Give you if you fall down and worship me.
  • 00:18:48.072 --> 00:18:51.842
  • Isn't that an interesting?
  • 00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:54.111
  • Satan took him up and showed him all the glory,
  • 00:18:54.111 --> 00:18:57.114
  • All the kingdom of the world.
  • 00:18:57.114 --> 00:18:58.716
  • What a sight that must have been.
  • 00:18:58.716 --> 00:19:00.418
  • I mean all the splendor, the beauty of kingdoms, of
  • 00:19:00.418 --> 00:19:03.921
  • Of nations, of tottenham's, of the glory
  • 00:19:03.921 --> 00:19:06.691
  • Of the ionosphere, the glory of the cosmos.
  • 00:19:06.691 --> 00:19:09.493
  • Satan showed him all this and said, jesus,
  • 00:19:09.493 --> 00:19:12.296
  • You want all the world to worship you and follow you,
  • 00:19:12.296 --> 00:19:15.466
  • So your kingdom will come and god's will will be done.
  • 00:19:15.466 --> 00:19:18.803
  • I own all this.
  • 00:19:19.170 --> 00:19:20.638
  • Satan says it's mine and i'll give it to you.
  • 00:19:20.638 --> 00:19:25.176
  • And you don't have to go the way of suffering
  • 00:19:25.176 --> 00:19:27.678
  • Your attachment.
  • 00:19:27.678 --> 00:19:28.579
  • These three
  • 00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:29.680
  • And a half years at teaching, you won't have to face
  • 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:31.782
  • The cross.
  • 00:19:31.782 --> 00:19:33.050
  • I'll give it all, and that'll accomplish your purpose, right?
  • 00:19:33.050 --> 00:19:35.886
  • What a temptation.
  • 00:19:35.886 --> 00:19:37.622
  • What a temptation.
  • 00:19:38.055 --> 00:19:40.091
  • And jesus said,
  • 00:19:40.091 --> 00:19:42.526
  • Nope.
  • 00:19:42.526 --> 00:19:43.861
  • You shall worship
  • 00:19:43.861 --> 00:19:45.963
  • The lord thy god.
  • 00:19:45.963 --> 00:19:48.299
  • And him only shall you serve
  • 00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:52.570
  • Worship god.
  • 00:19:52.903 --> 00:19:54.038
  • You know what jesus knew, and we need to understand
  • 00:19:54.038 --> 00:19:56.741
  • That which you worship, that which i worship,
  • 00:19:56.741 --> 00:20:00.144
  • We become like that.
  • 00:20:00.144 --> 00:20:02.780
  • It has a highest priority in our life.
  • 00:20:02.780 --> 00:20:05.349
  • That which we bow down to say
  • 00:20:05.349 --> 00:20:07.952
  • Said, just give me a little worship.
  • 00:20:07.952 --> 00:20:09.487
  • Let me replace the father.
  • 00:20:09.487 --> 00:20:11.122
  • Just a minute and zip.
  • 00:20:11.122 --> 00:20:12.590
  • Your life purpose will be accomplished.
  • 00:20:12.590 --> 00:20:15.426
  • All the temptations that our lord faced,
  • 00:20:16.294 --> 00:20:19.463
  • How strong they were, how debilitating they were.
  • 00:20:20.498 --> 00:20:25.036
  • And some of us say, well, you know, when i get with evil,
  • 00:20:25.036 --> 00:20:27.705
  • I have a problem.
  • 00:20:27.705 --> 00:20:28.739
  • We're like, one of my favorite
  • 00:20:28.739 --> 00:20:30.308
  • Comedians of yesterday was flip wilson.
  • 00:20:30.308 --> 00:20:32.543
  • Y'all know what he said?
  • 00:20:32.543 --> 00:20:33.644
  • If you remember that era
  • 00:20:33.644 --> 00:20:35.413
  • Fred wilson that the devil made me do it.
  • 00:20:36.314 --> 00:20:38.215
  • I didn't have a choice. he just overpowered me.
  • 00:20:38.215 --> 00:20:40.584
  • Let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:20:40.584 --> 00:20:42.753
  • In the name of jesus,
  • 00:20:42.753 --> 00:20:44.622
  • You have far more than the devil or all
  • 00:20:44.622 --> 00:20:47.391
  • These demons can overpower you with.
  • 00:20:47.391 --> 00:20:50.094
  • That is an illegitimate excuse.
  • 00:20:50.094 --> 00:20:54.131
  • You don't need somebody to come
  • 00:20:54.765 --> 00:20:56.534
  • And hold their hands up and anoint you with holy oil.
  • 00:20:56.534 --> 00:21:00.104
  • You can say, jesus christ and i guarantee you,
  • 00:21:00.104 --> 00:21:03.774
  • He that is within you, and he that is in me
  • 00:21:03.774 --> 00:21:07.111
  • Is greater than the devil and all the temptations
  • 00:21:07.111 --> 00:21:09.947
  • Of the world.
  • 00:21:09.947 --> 00:21:11.048
  • We just have to use the power that he's given us.
  • 00:21:11.048 --> 00:21:15.720
  • Let's get very practical.
  • 00:21:16.287 --> 00:21:20.424
  • We understand how jesus was tempted.
  • 00:21:21.225 --> 00:21:24.462
  • We understand how we are
  • 00:21:24.462 --> 00:21:26.430
  • Tempted in so many, many ways.
  • 00:21:26.430 --> 00:21:32.903
  • What do we do?
  • 00:21:33.237 --> 00:21:34.004
  • How do we handle.
  • 00:21:34.004 --> 00:21:36.941
  • Temptation.
  • 00:21:37.274 --> 00:21:42.880
  • You know this.
  • 00:21:43.214 --> 00:21:43.981
  • Shocked at one.
  • 00:21:43.981 --> 00:21:46.917
  • Man is full of.
  • 00:21:47.284 --> 00:21:50.221
  • Here's another one.
  • 00:21:50.221 --> 00:21:51.956
  • Cream on the inside, i guess.
  • 00:21:51.956 --> 00:21:55.192
  • Oh, here it is.
  • 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.761
  • Got it all.
  • 00:21:56.761 --> 00:21:58.028
  • Sprinkles.
  • 00:21:58.028 --> 00:22:01.365
  • I'm going to tell you i don't think i've had a donut.
  • 00:22:01.365 --> 00:22:03.734
  • Seriously? seriously?
  • 00:22:03.734 --> 00:22:06.137
  • And i'm going to say 4 or 5 years, maybe longer.
  • 00:22:06.137 --> 00:22:08.406
  • And i really haven't.
  • 00:22:08.406 --> 00:22:10.274
  • You know, i
  • 00:22:10.274 --> 00:22:11.909
  • And i love donuts.
  • 00:22:11.909 --> 00:22:13.577
  • I really do.
  • 00:22:13.577 --> 00:22:15.012
  • I should have been a policeman.
  • 00:22:15.012 --> 00:22:24.789
  • Now that donut tempts me.
  • 00:22:25.356 --> 00:22:28.826
  • Do you think i ought to just take one bite?
  • 00:22:29.693 --> 00:22:31.996
  • What are you saying? you just want one bite.
  • 00:22:31.996 --> 00:22:34.498
  • How are you?
  • 00:22:34.498 --> 00:22:34.765
  • Thank.
  • 00:22:34.765 --> 00:22:38.969
  • Well, i we won't vote on it.
  • 00:22:39.570 --> 00:22:42.440
  • But i'll tell you something that that is a real to.
  • 00:22:43.474 --> 00:22:45.543
  • I'm tempted to.
  • 00:22:45.543 --> 00:22:48.512
  • Five second rule.
  • 00:22:48.946 --> 00:22:53.050
  • By the way, parenthetically,
  • 00:22:53.651 --> 00:22:55.386
  • The five second rule is really legitimate.
  • 00:22:55.386 --> 00:22:57.521
  • I looked it up.
  • 00:22:57.521 --> 00:22:59.190
  • No. it's true.
  • 00:22:59.190 --> 00:23:00.357
  • You can drop something unless you drop it in water or
  • 00:23:00.357 --> 00:23:03.027
  • Some particularly dirty place and pick it up in five seconds.
  • 00:23:03.027 --> 00:23:06.096
  • It's strong probability you'll get no more germs on it.
  • 00:23:06.096 --> 00:23:09.099
  • That's true.
  • 00:23:09.099 --> 00:23:09.934
  • That's very true.
  • 00:23:09.934 --> 00:23:12.803
  • But the bottom line is,
  • 00:23:12.803 --> 00:23:13.904
  • What do you do about temptation?
  • 00:23:13.904 --> 00:23:17.041
  • We fall into temptation by our will.
  • 00:23:17.808 --> 00:23:21.512
  • Right.
  • 00:23:21.512 --> 00:23:22.780
  • We will.
  • 00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:24.448
  • That.
  • 00:23:24.448 --> 00:23:26.917
  • What do you do about it?
  • 00:23:26.917 --> 00:23:29.954
  • First of all, if we're in christ,
  • 00:23:29.954 --> 00:23:31.455
  • We have the power to do these two things.
  • 00:23:31.455 --> 00:23:34.425
  • Two little words.
  • 00:23:34.425 --> 00:23:35.359
  • The first one is no.
  • 00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:38.429
  • Say it with me.
  • 00:23:38.429 --> 00:23:40.965
  • Mighty weak.
  • 00:23:40.965 --> 00:23:41.765
  • Say it again. no.
  • 00:23:41.765 --> 00:23:44.835
  • The second thing is.
  • 00:23:44.835 --> 00:23:45.803
  • Run! run!
  • 00:23:45.803 --> 00:23:48.973
  • That's it.
  • 00:23:49.273 --> 00:23:51.942
  • No! run!
  • 00:23:52.209 --> 00:24:01.719
  • Very practical.
  • 00:24:02.086 --> 00:24:03.854
  • Very simple.
  • 00:24:03.854 --> 00:24:05.289
  • If you're on the mount
  • 00:24:05.289 --> 00:24:06.090
  • Of temptation. by the way,
  • 00:24:06.090 --> 00:24:07.391
  • The mount of temptation is a universal mount.
  • 00:24:07.391 --> 00:24:09.627
  • Remember, it's the only mountain we'll all go up.
  • 00:24:09.627 --> 00:24:13.130
  • And what do you do up there?
  • 00:24:13.731 --> 00:24:14.932
  • You say,
  • 00:24:14.932 --> 00:24:17.234
  • What do you do?
  • 00:24:17.234 --> 00:24:19.637
  • Very simple, very simple.
  • 00:24:19.637 --> 00:24:23.307
  • In the scripture
  • 00:24:23.707 --> 00:24:25.109
  • And the gospel of luke.
  • 00:24:25.109 --> 00:24:27.511
  • When jesus left
  • 00:24:27.511 --> 00:24:30.481
  • This last temptation, it says, satan left him.
  • 00:24:31.448 --> 00:24:35.085
  • And jesus came down the mountain of temptation.
  • 00:24:35.085 --> 00:24:39.156
  • And it says, and satan would come and visit him
  • 00:24:39.156 --> 00:24:43.494
  • Another time.
  • 00:24:43.861 --> 00:24:46.797
  • Just like.
  • 00:24:46.797 --> 00:24:47.765
  • Oh, i've got all that worked out in my life.
  • 00:24:47.765 --> 00:24:49.934
  • Man, i've been through all that.
  • 00:24:49.934 --> 00:24:51.335
  • I'm strong now.
  • 00:24:51.335 --> 00:24:52.703
