LUKE 4:1-2

INTRODUCTION

AFTER 40 DAYS OF FASTING IN THE WILDERNESS, THEN THE TEMPTATION

THE ENEMY COMES AFTER THE FASTING

THE ENEMY COMES WHEN HE IS WEAK AND TIRED AND THE ENEMY OFFERS HIM SOLUTIONS, BECAUSE HE IS HUNGRY

THE FIRST ONE THAT THE ENEMY OFFERS HIM IS TO TURN STONE INTO BREAD

THIS IS A TEMPTATION THAT WE HAVE IN LIFE ALL OF THE TIME

WHEN WE HAVE A NATURAL NORMAL NEED AND THE ENEMY TRIES TO GET US TO FULFILL IT IN AN UNNATURAL UNWHOLESOME WAY

SO, IT IS NOT WRONG FOR JESUS TO BE HUNGRY

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE APPETITE BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW YOU SATISFY IT

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE NEED AND AN ILLEGITIMATE SOLUTION

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HUNGRY, TO BE LOVED, TO BE ANGRY

BUT, THE ENEMY IS TELLING YOU TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT DIMENSION

BEING ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR APPETITES IS PART OF MATURITY

AND YET YOU NEVER GET TO OLD TO BE STUPID

YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN AND CANNOT EAT

IT IS A FACT THAT JESUS IS ANOINTED

HE IS ANOINTED IN THE JORDAN

BUT, BEING ANOINTED DOESN’T STOP YOU FROM BEING HUNGRY

CHURCH PEOPLE THINK THAT IF THEY GET MORE ANOINTED THAT IT WILL TAKE CARE OF NATURAL PROBLEMS

BEING ANOINTED DOESN’T STOP YOU FROM BEING HUNGRY
