So I was reading about the temptation of Christ in Luke 4 and Matt 4. I saw some things that I thought were interesting. It says that the spirit led Jesus to the desert. It then later says that Satan led Jesus to a high place. This had never caught my eye before. THe Spirit led Jesus, not just anywhere but to the very place the enemy would tempt him and Satan led Jesus to a high place to try and appeal to his kingly right. It just got me thinking about how the Spirit (God, Jesus, the big cheese) never leaves us or forsakes us and always knows what we can handle and puts us in situations to Trust his promises. Satan of coarse takes full advantage of the oppertunity and pulls us along picking at our weaknesses. But in the end when Jesus was done He told Satan (by His own authourity) to leave. And guess what? He obeys.

I think I sometimes forget to fight back. I lose sight of the super hero power that is alive in me. I take a beating time after time. Listen and believe lie after lie. I don't combat Satan with the Truth of the word following Jesus's example or simply instruct Satan by the power of the living Christ that loves me and died for me to leave! Today I pick up my sword! Today I say Satan in Jesus name leave.
