The WORD

Psalm 91:11-13

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Matthew 4:5-7

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

The very first prophecy of the Bible, Genesis 3:15, foretells the destruction of satan's authority by the messiah, Jesus Christ. Satan waited approximately 4,000 years for this moment to challenge the authority of the woman's seed, thinking to use God's own word to decieve God himself. Satan exhibits, in this act, the very thing that caused him to lose his place by the throne of God...

NO LOVE OF THE WORD



Satan could care less about the WORD, his only agenda was his own authority. He could not comprehend who Jesus was because he had no love for God's word. Sure he knew God's word but for him it was a weapon of deceit, a way to challenge one's faith in God almighty.

Jesus, the WORD incarnate, simply destroys Satan's deceitful assault with the same WORD:

Deuteronomy 6:16-17

Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

So when some devil attacks you and tries to rob you of your faith by mis-quoting the scriptures, simply pull out a verse from your arsenal of TRUTH and send him running in Jesus name!
