… the temple. If you are the Son of God, he said, Throw yourself down, for it is written, He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. And Jesus answered him, It is also written, Do not put the Lord your God to the test. Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and worship me. And Jesus said to him, Away from me, Satan, for it is written, Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. The reason I don't have to stay in my wilderness is because Jesus went to his. And what the generation could not do in 40 years, Jesus did in 40 days. With God, what should take years takes days. I need somebody to shout right now. If you are glad, that you have a savior who did not skip the wilderness you have a savior that did not skip the scourging you have a savior that did not skip the mocking and because he did not skip the cross i'm coming out of this i'm coming out i'm coming out of this the last thing i do i'm coming out because he's in me i'm coming out much greater is he …
… yourself down. Make a huge messianic display. Just toss yourself off, for it is written. Now, the devil's quoting scripture. Psalm 91, for it is written. He will give his angels charge over you to keep you in all of his ways, to bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. That's doubting God's protection. Jump. Do you think your father will protect you? Prove it. Prove it. And then use your power to make a soft landing and dazzle everybody around you and they'll all follow you. Now, just a quick note on that, that the devil quotes scripture. You should be aware that Satan is a shrewd theologian. The devil was trained in the best seminary in the universe, heaven. He fell from heaven. And I think Satan does more harm as an angel of light than he does as a roaring lion. He loves to quote scripture, misquote scripture, take it out of context. And so Jesus responds back and he says, it is written, Deuteronomy again, you shall not tempt the Lord your God. …
… 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, what did he say? It is written, there it is again. He's quoting the scriptures back to, he's quoting the temptation. And some of y'all get the devil tempting you and you'll be trying to defeat the enemy and resist the enemy by your own strength rather than getting a word from God, a rhema word from God, and saying, here's what the Scripture says. It is written. You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as he says, verse 7. You shall not tempt the Lord your God, verse 8. Again, the devil took him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, all these things I will give you if you will fall down and worship me. …
… no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent. You shall trample underfoot because he has set his love upon me. Therefore, I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name. He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him with long life. I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. He who dwells, verse one, we're going to go through verse by verse, all right? So please follow with me in your Bibles. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Stop right there. …
