The Son of God was tempted of satan also That wicked one, schemer of evil deeds low He tempted him to transform stones into bread "Man liveth by the holy word of God," Jesus said Following to a pinnacle of the temple high Satan asked Jesus to be cast down thereby "Angels shall charge to your rescue in bands And quickly bear thee up within their hands" Jesus again rebuked him with God's word In which he was established and thoroughly gird Afterwards, satan led him up to a mountain place And showed Him all the kingdoms on the earth's face He said, "All these things I will give unto thee If you will bow down and worship me." Neither did Jesus yield unto this sly curve But said, "The Lord God only shall thou serve" In a defeated state, satan from him went And ministering to Jesus, holy angels were sent Christians can overcome the sharp arrows of Satan sore Because Jesus conquers evil and reigns forevermore!! ------------------ ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Amen back to you sister. It's so good to know that if Jesus could resist satan, then surely with his Holy spirit within us, who gives us the authority and power to rebuke the devil, so can we!!! Thanks for the encouragement to fight on in this daily battle against temptation - you write awesome poetry Echo. |

Echo this was terrific. Many people don't know that what Satan actually did was quote scripture to Jesus. Not only did he quote it but he twisted it...for instance..in Matt. 4:6 Satan added the words "at any time"...it was originally quoted from Ps.91:11,12 |

When we stand up to Satan in Jesus' name, he has to flee. That's certainly a comforting promise--since it means that temptation is not unrelenting. Its isn't inevitable that we have to give in. Jesus set the example by resisting the devil. He showed that it could be done. |

Rebecca...So true! Kenneth...This is the poem I was talking about in my reply to your poem! I dug it up, yours is far better though! You are right though, He did show us that it could be done, and amen for that! ------------------ ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns.
