As you round up your training and journey in the wilderness to commence your God given assignment or step into the fullness of God that has already been prepared for you, there are three temptations that you must be prepared to overcome.

Episode Description

As you round up your training and journey in the  wilderness to commence your God given assignment or step into the fullness of God that has already been prepared for you, there are three temptations that you must be prepared to overcome. You cannot run from these temptations, you must of a certainty be confronted with them as long as the Spirit of God is with you. Why am I so convinced, because our Lord Jesus Christ would not return from the wilderness with the power of the Spirit until he demonstrated his victory over the temptations in the wilderness.

Luke 4:1: Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,a 2where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.

The first temptation you must overcome is the temptation to prove a point to feed your flesh! Its like Satan positioned himself at the exit  of the wilderness to prove if our Lord Jesus Christ truly understands who He is. You cannot do ministry, nor fulfill the will of God if you are unsure about your identity in God. At His baptism in Luke chapter 3, the bible tells us that the Father publicly affirmed the sonship of Jesus. He further commanded the entire creation including the devil to listen to him. But then the devil showed up, pretending not to hear the public declaration of the father Jesus his son, tempted the savior and requested him to turn stones into bread if indeed he was the son of God. 

It was a temptation to prove a point. Prove that you are anointed indeed, prove that you are called, we know God announced you but you have to prove yourself by doing something that can feed your flesh and our flesh.  The need to prove a point and justify self at the request or temptation of the accuser  has destroyed so many wonderful gifts. What other proof do you need? God announced Jesus to the world as his beloved son in whom he is well pleased and satan came up to demand a fleshly satanic proof to affirm God's declaration?  

Those who seek the approval of men would easily fall into such temptation. Many have turned stones into bread just to prove to the devil and his agents that they have been called.  If you will do valiatnly for the Lord, you must overcome this temptation.
