Speaking by God's Spirit

1 Corinthians 12:3 ..For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God's Spirit can say, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

No one who is speaking by God's spirit can say Jesus is cursed, so by what spirit can we say this then?..If it is not by God it has to be by the devil.

If Jesus was not the son of God, he would have been working with the devil.. mmm then why would the devil tempt Jesus by saying "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!" (Matthew 4:9). Why would the devil tempt Jesus if Jesus was working with him, Jesus did not do anything without giving glory to his father (the God of Abraham, Jacob, Isaiah, Moses….) therefore the miracles that Jesus did could not have been by the devil’s power since Jesus gave all the glory to the almighty "I AM" and the devil wants to diminish God more than anything.

Jesus was tempted in every possible way since the devil did everything in his power to prevent Jesus from saving God’s children from the hold that he had over us:

• Luke 4:1: Then Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness where he was being tempted by the devil for 40 days.

• Matthew 4:1: After this, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

• Hebrews 4:15: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. Instead, we have one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet he never sinned.

James 1:13: When someone is tempted, he should not say, "I am being tempted by God," because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.

Jesus was tempted by the devil in the same way as we are tempted everyday…therefore when you have a thought in your head questioning the glory, beauty, grace and love of the almighty Jesus Christ, know that that thought did not come to you by the holy spirit but by the devil and you should give it no more thought and rebuke it in the name of Jesus….

If there is one thing that I want to surface from this message this morning is that the devil wants to rob us of every piece of glory that God has planned for us, and devil tempts us to doubt all the promises God has made for us (remember that God promised to send one who will Justify us and make us Righteous before God - Jesus came and fulfilled the promise), therefore when we are tempted to believe the devils lies, see who it is coming from, submit to Jesus, and he will fight the battle for us.

The Devil failed in tempting Jesus, the devil is failing in tempting me, and the devil is failing more and more in each of your lives and in the world … GLORY TO JESUS!!, with His help we will have victory over the Devil and spend eternity with our father :-)

May the Lord help us to break away from the traditions and things that have been passed on to us by our fathers and start walking in the things that our true heavenly farther have passed on to us - Follow Jesus and don't look to the left or to the right...

GLORY!!!!
FIRE!!!!!!
