Temptation

Matthew 4:1-11 The Temptation of the Lord Jesus –
1-4 Temptation of the Flesh
5-6 Temptation of the World
8-9 Temptation of the Devil
Genesis 3:6 Lust of the Flesh, World, Pride of Life
1 John 2:16 Lust of the Flesh, World, Pride of Life
Christ is our example. He is the yardstick by which we will be measured.
Romans 3:23 SHORT of the GLORY of God.
Christ is the GLORY of God.
Manifested Matthew 16:27
Beheld Luke 9:32
Revealed John 1:14
Ascribed to Revelation 5:12
As our example, what did He do? You might say “He wasn’t tempted as I am”.
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Christ our Example met His Temptations with Scripture:
Matthew 4:4 It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Deuteronomy 8:3
Matthew 4:7 It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Deuteronomy 6:16
Matthew 4:10 Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Deuteronomy 10:20
Do you have scripture to answer when Temptation comes knocking?
God’s Word leaves no question in our minds as what to do when Temptation comes knocking!
OUR Promise: 1 Corinthians 10:13
When the World knocks: 1 John 2:15
Love not the World. Christ prayed for His followers John 17:15-18
When the Flesh knocks:
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee youthful lusts
1 Timothy 6:11 Flee these things
1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication
1 Corinthians 10:14 Flee idolatry
When the Devil knocks:
Ephesians 6:11-14 STAND
Matthew 4:1-11 Use God’s Word
James 4:7 Submit to God, Resist the devil
Identify whose knocking … The Flesh, The World, The Devil!
And then do one of these:
Don’t listen to it Philippians 1:27, 2 Timothy 2:19
Ignore it 2 Thessalonians 2:15
Run from it 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Timothy 6:11, 2 Timothy 2:22
Stand Boldly Galatians 5:1, Ephesians 6:13-14

LGBTQ

Leviticus 18:22-23 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

Romans 1:18-32 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Genesis 19 The story (and sin) of Sodom and Gomorra.
Jude 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
Matthew 10:15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

Husband

Peter gives good advice:
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them (wives) according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Paul also has instructions for Husbands:
Ephesians 6:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 6:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Ephesians 6:33 Nevertheless let every one of you (Husbands) in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
For a good marriage:
1 Corinthians 7:2-4 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Good Church Leaders:
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Will Children be Raptured?

THE REAL Question.
This is not to imply that Babies who die don’t go to Heaven.
2 Samuel 12:32 David’s Son
But will Children be taken in the Rapture?
The answer should be based on Scripture, not emotion.

Rightly dividing the Word
Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (Mark 13:17, Luke 21:23)
Verses oft times quoted to prove Babies are Raptured. These verses are speaking of the middle of the Tribulation, not the Rapture.

No verses in Scripture either way.
Scripture sometimes leaves us with only principles not black and white fact.
i.e. Smoking, Movies, TV.

Some of the principles taught about children:
Genesis 6 The flood … Only Noah’s children spared.
Genesis 19 Sodom and Gomorrah … Only 2 of Lot’s Daughters
Numbers 16 Korah, Datham, Abiram withstood Moses -Read verse 27
Joshua 7 Achan sin … who paid for it -Read verse 24
Daniel 6 Who was thrown to the Lions when Daniel was removed?
Whether these children went to Heaven or not is pure speculation.

Do all Children go to Heaven?
It is taught that until a child reaches the age of accountability they do …
BUT this is not about when a child dies, it is about “will they be Raptured”.

The Tribulation lasts 7 years. see TRIBULATION
A child left behind has 7 years to become a believer and pass into the 1000 year kingdom.

Will Children be Raptured? Does it really matter?
The real question is will YOU be part of the Rapture when it occurs?

Deceiving Ourselves

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Many people today are deceived ….
Deceived in Religious things…
Deceived in Spiritual things …
Paul sums it up when warning Timothy. (2 Timothy 3:1-7) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
False Cults and Religious Books, and Bible Translations abound…confusion for all …
Cults are on the upswing … Up to 10,000 cults still exist today in the United States, according to psychologist Steve Eichel … WHY???
Paul has the answer to the problem:
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
WE need to grow up, mature, quit acting like kids…
The Lord Jesus predicts that during the Tribulation: Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Paul also warns of this: 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie
Consider the following:
1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Galatians 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Galatians 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

Have you deceived yourself about Salvation?

The Children of Noah

Just an interesting look at Noah’s Family. Three sons are listed SHEM, HAM and JAPHETH, no daughters. Was Noah 500 years old before he had children? This seems strange but the answer could lay in the fact that the world had become very wicked and any children born earlier had fallen into the ways of the world and would perish in the flood. (Read Genesis 6:1-8)

Genesis 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
It appears Noah was 502 years old when Shem was born;
Genesis 11:10-11 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: and Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
making Japheth born 1-2 years prior to Shem and Ham born sometime after Shem: Japheth then Shem then Ham.
(Genesis 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son (Ham) had done unto him).
(Japheth, Shem, Ham oldest to youngest, in order of age).
Shem is in the Godly linage – therefore this is probably why he is listed first.

If there were any other children born between the age of 500-600 years of Noah’s life, they probably went the way of the world and perished in the flood.

After the Flood.
Genesis 9:18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Genesis 10:1-2 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. (7 Sons)
Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. (4 Sons)
Genesis 10:21-22 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. (5 Sons)
Genesis 9:28-29 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

No other children are listed in scripture for Noah and his wife.

Noah is mentioned 8 times in the new testament:
In the genealogy of Jesus Luke 3:36 which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
And by the Lord Jesus Mathew 24:37-38 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Also recorded in Luke 17:26-27 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
1 Peter 3:20 which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
2 Peter 2:5 and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Psalm 41

The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. And this Psalm was fulfilled through Judas and his betrayal (John 13:18,17:12).

41 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Judas the betrayer
Mark 14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
Luke 22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
Luke 22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
John 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
ACTS 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
