~ Don't Let the devil Trick You ~

When Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days & nights, the devil tried to tempt Him to 'go against' God's Word and to 'bow down' to the devil.

He tried Many Cunning & Crafty ways to 'Trick' Jesus, but Jesus did Not fall for them.

The devil knew that Jesus was Hungry as He had not eaten for 40 days, so he tried to 'tempt' Jesus by saying:
“If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

 Jesus answered, “It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

So the devil then tried to use Scripture to 'tempt' Jesus. He took Jesus to the highest point of the Temple and said:
“If you are the Son of God, 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.”

 Jesus saw straight through the devils Trickery and answered him: 
“It is also written, Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

The devil was getting desperate now so he took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 
The devil said, “All this I will give you, if you will bow down and worship me.”

Jesus knew the devil had No power to do that, so He Firmly & Powerfully said, 
“Away from me, Satan. For it is written, 
     Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him Only.”

Then the devil 'Gave Up' and left Him, and Angels came to serve Jesus.

Jesus did Not 'give in' to temptation and He made it Very Clear to the devil that there was No way He was going to bow down and worship him.

The devil knows when he is defeated, and he 'gave up' trying to Trick Jesus.

Because Jesus did Not 'give in' to the devil and instead He Stayed True to the Word of God, then God Blessed Jesus with the very things that the devil had said he would give Jesus if He bowed down to him.

~ God Blessed Jesus by Providing All the Food that He ever needed throughout His Life. 
~ He sent His Angels and they took Good Care of Jesus in the wilderness.
~ And then when Jesus had Completed His work on earth and suffered on the Cross for our sins, and was Raised from the dead by God, then God Blessed Him with All Authority over All the kingdoms of the world.  

Jesus showed us by His own example that by Not following the devil and his Tricks, but by serving God, and 'Only God', then that is when God Blesses us Abundantly.

Don't allow yourself to be Tricked by the devil. 
He is a Liar and a Manipulator, and he has No power.
 
He will try to use Your Needs & Your Desires to Trick You.
He will even try to use Scripture to fool You into bowing down to him.
And he will promise You things that he can't even give You.

The Only True Blessings come from God and 'Only God'.

Jesus Proved the following Bible verse is Very True:

“Submit yourself to God. 
Resist the devil and he will flee from you”.

Don't Let the devil Trick You . 

~ Take It To The Lord In Prayer  ~

People often cause themselves Unnecessary pain and stress when they try to do everything their own way. 
They Waste Time endlessly going over things that don't seem to be working out how they want them to. 

Some people even make themselves ill by worrying about things that are out of their control.

But God Created us with a Wonderful Gift,
~ The ability to put our Trust In God ~

Take your problems to God in Prayer. He knows the Best way for you to deal with everything. 
Ask God for His Wonderful Guidance, Listen to His answers (with a Humble Attitude of “Not my will, but Your Will Be Done Lord”) and then Follow Gods Advice.

You Can Trust God.

If God is capable of Creating Life on earth, 
and making everything to sustain that Life (Food, Water, Air etc)
 then He is certainly capable of dealing with All of our problems.

When You put Your Trust In God and do the Right thing, 
the stresses and worries are removed to reveal 
Peace and Calm in Your life. 

What a Wonderful Lord He is.

~ Purpose  ~

   What is Your Purpose ?
 It's a Question that many people ask. 
Here are some ways to Help you Understand Your Purpose.

1.  Look to Nature for Inspiration. 
 What is the Purpose of a Tree ? ~ It Provides Oxygen for us to Breath. It Cleans the Air. It Provides a Home for Nature such as Birds & Squirrels, etc...
   So a Tree has Many Purposes that are All Very Important. 
The Main Purpose of a Tree though is to 
'Simply Be What God Created It To Be'
 If a Pine Tree tried to Be like an Oak Tree it would get very Confused and it would create Problems. It would try to grow Acorns instead of Pine Cones and Leaves instead of Pine Needles, (which was Not God's Plan).

You'll Never Discover your Own Purpose by trying to Be Like Other People.
 God Created You with Your Own Unique Individual Purpose.

How do you Find Your Purpose ? 
~ How does a Pine Tree know 'How' to Be a Pine Tree ?
 ~ How does a Seed know 'How' to Grow Into a Tree ?
 Because when God Created it, 
He put Everything it 'Needs In It's Seed'.

 In the Same Way, when God Created ' You' He put 
'Everything You Need In Your Seed'.
 That Seed is Your Soul.

Search Deep In Your Soul and You 
Will 'Discover Your Purpose'.

 2.   God Created Humans  'In His Own Image'.  (Genesis 1:27) 
 Which in essence means our Purpose is to 
Resemble God's Character as Much as Possible.
 In Your Everyday Life try to Resemble God's Love, Peace & Kindness, His Helpfulness, Generosity & Care, His Honesty, Forgiveness & Tenderness, and His Courage, Gentleness and All of God's other Wonderful Qualities.
 By Doing this You Will be: 
Fulfilling one of the Main Purposes that God Created You for.

 3.  You are Responsible for God's Creations.
Every person that God has Ever Created have All got a Basic Fundamental Purpose in Life which can be found in the Bible in Genesis 1:26 and 2:15.
 That is:
'To Take Care' of and have 'Responsibility' for 'All of God's Creations'

 Before Humans ever Existed God had Already Created Nature. 
Trees, Plants, Wildlife, Cattle, Insects, Fish, Birds and 
All of God's Amazing and Beautiful Creations
were All here Before we were.

 It is one of Everybody's Most Essential 
Purposes in Life to 
'Look After It'.
