The tempter and the tempted

By: Robert S

The process of salvation 3

Jas 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 

Jas 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 

Jas 1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 

Jas 1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

Jas 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

We dealt with Christ coming in the flesh and making away of escape for us if you have not read the post ENDURING TEMPTATION it would be good to read it first. Also, the foundation of Genesis series would be a good place if you have not read about the foundations. Darkness was on the face of the deep before light came. We are in darkness in the womb before light comes, we are spiritually blind before God ever draws us to the light and opens our spiritual eyes.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 

Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 

Joh 3:20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 

Joh 3:21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 

We know who we are who knows the man but the spirit that is in the man? And God also knows us our lives are necked and open before him we cannot hide nothing although we try.

Gen 3:9  And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 

Gen 3:10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 

1Co 2:11  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Heb 4:13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 

LET US LABOR TO ENTER INTO THAT REST! Come to me all that are burden and heavy laden for I will give you rest for my yoke is easy and my burden is light, come and learn of me. We must first learn God is in control of all things the Father created all of creation through Christ he is the beginning of the creation of Elohim.

Rev 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 

Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 

Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

Rev 3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 

Rev 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

Rev 3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 

Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

He knows our works and he knows wither we are lukewarm or not. He desires us to be on fire for him and to desire his fellowship. Therefore, we must repent and be converted and do our first works over because we lose our first love when the beast that receives the deadly wound is healed. That is right our beast (the old man) receives a deadly wound when we first confess him and repent, but what happens we start obeying our flesh and Satan's ministers and the deadly wound is heled and we are servants of sin again see John 8:31-49 if you do not remember what it says.

Rev 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

Rev 13:2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 

Rev 13:3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

Rev 13:4  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

Ecc 3:17  I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 

Ecc 3:18  I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

If you do not know who the beast is go back and read the post (THE FALLING AWAY AND THE MAN OF SIN REVELED) our beastly flesh rises up out of the sea dry land appears out of the sea, sea creatures are in the sea the serpent the red dragon comes out of the sea, whale, Levithan, and the dragon, are all one and the same Hebrew name.

H8577

תּנּים תּנּין

tannı̂yn tannı̂ym

tan-neen', tan-neem'

(The second form used in Eze_29:3); intensive from the same as H8565; a marine or land monster, that is, sea serpent or jackal: - dragon, sea-monster, serpent, whale.

The beast has 7 heads and 10 horns the red dragon also has 10 horns

seven in scripture signifies complete we see this in creation the completion of creation. Isreal was in captivity for 70 years for their sin God judged them 70 years 7x10=70 complete judgement on man. 10 stands for the fullness of man's pride and arrogance. We see the 10 commandments given because of man's transgression; they were 10 generation before the flood judgement.

Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

When speaking of “the law” Paul makes it clear he includes the law written on two tables of stone, which included the tenth commandment:

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

The only place in the Old Testament where that phrase, “Thou shalt not covet” is found is in the “ten commandments… for the lawless.”

The 10 horns signify the beast strength animals use horns to push and get the weaker beast food and to fight their way through life.

The red dragon the beasts father also has 10 horns. This beastly flesh receives a deadly wound for a time then is healed and the beast is complete and a servant of sin again remember John 8:31-49.

Therefore, we are tempted by the lust of the flesh and also the red dragon (Satan) therefore submit to God resist the Devil and he will flee however we must remember the Father created Satan to tempt us and deceive us through his ministers THE HARLOT CHURCH SYSTEM BABYON THE GREAT the mother of harlots.

Rev 17:1  And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 

Rev 17:2  With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 

Rev 17:3  So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 

Rev 17:4  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 

Rev 17:5  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 

Rev 17:6  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 

The great harlot sets on many waters; we call these seas. The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and are not sober minded. O earth, earth, earth here the word of the Lord; we are the earth we were created out of dirt, and our heavens (our mind is deceived) by the harlots fornication (her false doctrines) we are the kings setting on the throne we are the man of sin, the antichrist, the son of perdition, we must be beheaded and dethroned.

Rev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 

We all take worship the beast and receive the mark we all hate our brother. Therefore

we must submit to our head as Christ did to his head the Father therefore, we must be beheaded and this beastly king must be dethroned as well. We must overcome temptations and submit to Christ our head he is the one that will deliver us if we can have faith to believe, and the good news is God has given every man a measure of faith. So, help our unbelief!

Eph 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 

Eph 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 

Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

We must know who we are and who our father is before our head can be cut off and be dethroned, we must come out of her (mystery Babylon) and be separate what fellowship does light have with darkness? If God was our Father we would love him and keep the words of his Son and follow his doctrines, love your enemy blesses them that curse you and pray for those who despise you and speak evil of you and use you despitefully, that we may be like our Father in heaven who rains on the just and unjust a like.

Mat 5:22  But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 

Mat 5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 

Mat 5:27  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Mat 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 

Mat 5:33  Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 

Mat 5:34  But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 

Mat 5:35  Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 

Mat 5:36  Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 

Mat 5:37  But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 

Mat 5:38  Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 

Mat 5:39  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 

The law of the spirit of Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death. We must die with him to be free of sin and walk in newness of life.

Yes, it is a prosses of judgement that must happen for us to be overcomers and be in the first resurrection.

Rev 21:7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 

Rev 21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 

The overcoming power is Christ in us he will not allow us to be tempted above measure but as I said before we must have the faith of Johua and Caleb and believe God is bigger than our giants. We also must know who and what Satan uses to tempt us. The enemies sometimes will be them of your own household, your own children, friend, coworker your minister.

Who are servants of sin and their father is the Devil will be who GOD ALLOWS TO TEST AND REFINE us.

1Pe 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 

1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

1Pe 1:14  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

1Pe 1:17  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 

1Pe 1:18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 

1Pe 1:19  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 

Our God is a consuming fire he gave commandments to Isreal to prove them that they would sin not. And now he has sent his Son, and we are to hear Jesus and his commandments and follow what he said. The law was our school master to bring us to Christ but now we are free if we continue in the truth and Christ doctrine.

Joh 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 

Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

We are to follow Christ in us the hope of glory the baptism of Christ proves us and refines us so we sin not.

Exo 20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 

Exo 20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 

Exo 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 

This was written for our admonishing and is a shadow of what God is doing within his temple today it must be cleansed from all the idols of the

heart we have received from Satan's ministers of Babylon.

Deu 18:15  The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 

Heb 1:1  God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 

Heb 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 

God has spoken will we hear his Son are will we kill those God has sent

as we killed Christ? Yes, we are all guilty of his blood we all have sinned

we all are as unclean we must be washed we must be judged sanctified glorified and it is all his doing. Will we submit or rebel?

Heb 12:5  And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 

Heb 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 

Heb 12:7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 

Heb 12:8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 

Heb 12:9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 

Heb 12:10  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 

Heb 12:11  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 

Heb 12:12  Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 

Heb 12:13  And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 

Heb 12:14  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 

Heb 12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 

Heb 12:16  Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 

Heb 12:17  For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 

The grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust that we may be partakers of his divine nature. We must be transformed by the renewing of our mind and present our body as a living sacrifice.

Tit 2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

The word teaching means to discipline us to chasten us as a child.

G3811

παιδεύω

paideuō

pahee-dyoo'-o

From G3816; to train up a child, that is, educate, or (by implication) discipline (by punishment): - chasten (-ise), instruct, learn, teach.

To be obedient SONS OF GOD and grow up and put away our childish ways and become a man. Are we will continue in envy strife and division and be ignorant of Satan's devises are will we repent and be obedient overcomers.

Tit 2:1  But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 

Tit 2:2  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 

Tit 2:3  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 

Tit 2:4  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 

Tit 2:5  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 

Tit 2:6  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 

Tit 2:7  In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 

Tit 2:8  Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 

Tit 2:9  Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 

Tit 2:10  Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 

Tit 2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

Tit 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 

Tit 2:14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
