Trusting Jesus: Overcoming Satan's Temptation

[@MrSpiritchild]

I would think he fasted to show the spirit of the lord is strongest in us when we are at our weakest.

Thank you

[@AJvictors]

This was a very timely message just for me. Thank you.

[@NewtonBarbe-to5kd]

Thank you brothet shaun,I agreement with what you've said..Christ was just showing us some examples that wr should follow after He left and went to His Father.also how to obey the commandments. Happy Sabbath everyone 🙏🤗

[@IOBEY777]

Thank you for this message and your service to the Lord!

[@Kay-tc3go]

I think that Jesus fasted and prayed to prepare for His great mission that He was going to undertake. Like when you start a new job you pray the night/nights before to prepare for the big task ahead. Yeah, I agree with the others on the delivery. With the music going and all of the unnecessary visuals. This video is noisy and busy. The message is weighed down by the busyness and the outside elements are winning. I'll have to watch this again on low volume and half-frame to get the full effect of the message. Which on it's own is great!

Amen! Thanks for sharing *2nd Edit November 9, 2023* I’m giving exact quote from Morris Venden. I didn’t get the full quote right, the first time, which caused controversy. I apologize. Here’s the full quote from Morris Venden. “Jesus was tempted to do right, but in His own power, and so are we.” In reference to ⤵️ my first post. Editing: satan didn’t tempt Jesus to do something wrong. he tempted Jesus to do something right.(there’s nothing wrong with eating bread when your hungry), because satan knew he couldn’t tempt Jesus to do wrong, because Jesus hates sin. I got that idea from Morris Venden listening to his “Righteousness By Faith” series. It’s free on “KZbin” I love your videos. They are very serious matters but I always find laughter in them. Like the story about buying a lottery ticket. I’m glad for these videos. 😀

[@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG]

ummmh❓something right for the wrong reason is still a negative wrong , it shows a lack of faith in God ; the believers' most glaring sin of omission 🤔

[@MSB780]

@@HiggaionSelah_EWFMG That’s why Jesus didn’t give into the temptation. Nevertheless, He was tempted to do something good (as we are also). Jesus couldn’t be tempted to do anything bad, because He hates sin (unlike us). Jesus was perfect in all His ways. Tempted as we are, but without sin. He never did anything outside of God’s will. Try not to miss the point.

[@austinogongoh6212]

You wrote, 👉Satan didn't tempt Jesus to do something wrong. He tempted Jesus to do something right. (There's nothing wring with eating bread when you're hungry)👈 Remember that was only one temptation. The 3rd temptation In Matt 4:9 - All these I will give You if 👉You fall down and worship me👈. That doesn't sound a right temptation and it clearly contradicts the 1st and 2nd commandments which are against having another god or worshipping anything apart from God. Just a friendly thought on this😊

[@MSB780]

@@austinogongoh6212 A thought back to you, with all do respect. The temptations were all separate temptations, with different lessons. As you can see, Shawn only shared one temptation, the first one. he hasn’t even done the other two. So I’m not going to comment on those two others, yet, and maybe not at all. I’ll know when the time comes, rather to elaborate on his lesson. Right now I’m talking about this one temptation. If you would like to study the series, “righteousness by faith” with Morris Venden” you would be happily surprised. I listened to his series (videos) four times: the fourth time I took notes with every video, and then I bought the book from Amazon, when it was $20 with five dollars shipping. now it’s up to $51 and there was only one left last time I looked. I also gave my first one I bought to a friend, that’s why I bought a second one. I’m sure that you can probably find the book to study, if you’re interested. It’s a wonderful book! I’m not here to argue with anyone. I’m here to take part in the gospel truth and in sharing with others. so that they can understand what it’s like to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I’m thankful for men like Shawn Boonstra. There are many out there that are sharing. not arguing. Happy, Joyful, Peaceful Sabbath day. 09/16/2023 😀

[@austinogongoh6212]

@@MSB780 thanks for the clarification. Maybe I rushed with my comment. I was only troubled with part of "Satan could not tempt Jesus to do something wrong". Anyway, I wasn't into an argument either, was just sharing a thought on it. Blessings upon you.

[@robertmueller2023]

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you? If only my prayers & meditations could slow down or even stop the flow of time like Joshua on the Plains of Gibeon, I would have no need for food, shelter, or medicine. I would be utterly free.

[@leroynyabeze6824]

This is sure reading in between the lines.

[@MrLesonfireforGod]

I didn't see "The Last Temptation of Christ" either. The media coverage at the time made it sound like the movie's fictional 'last temptation' was for Jesus to come off the cross and have sex with Mary Magdalene. A friend who had seen the movie told me it wasn't a physical temptation but simply the idea of living a normal life. Jesus is suddenly an old man who's had a happy marriage etc. then He realizes He was supposed to do something great and when He tries to, He can't. I am actually going through a situation where I have a legitimate need that is not being met in my life and I feel unfulfilled because of it. My choices are sin to get my need met or suffer an emptiness inside in order to stand for God. I have chosen the selfish way many times but I am still trying in my faith. I ask for prayer. As for the order of events in the two stories, I like Matthew's better, it seems more logical. The order of temptation to me parallels life itself. The secular world lives by the philosophy of get and education, which will lead to a good job and then you can spend your money on a life of fun and self-indulgence. This is met by Jesus' reply; we don't live by bread alone. Satan comes back with a misquote of Scripture and the next trap on the way to God is bad religion (either worldliness on the liberal side or fanatical self-righteousness on the conservative). We see parallels to these first two temptations in the parable of the wheat and the tares. The field is the worldly way. The tares are the way of bad religion. Standing for God in the narrow way of the wheat is to study the Bible and understand it correctly, which is something only the Holy Spirit can give to us and only when we have humble, teachable spirits. When cross-referenced with the temptations, it's to give up being famous. The world will not recognize those who have the truth.

[@winnieorina3169]

This is so enlightening. I'm pleased to learn that we are not only tempted to do evil but also some things that look morally right at first sight but a seed of disobedience or doubt or negligence of some facts is planted. Like the word IF in the first temptation. Thank you so much

[@paddboat]

Where do the 2 witnesses & building of the 3rd temple come into play with this reasoning?

[@robertmueller2023]

Family and friends? They've never even asked me about Jesus or the coming Kingdom. And I've never offered, thinking that it would fall on sterile ground. They used to mock and ridicule religion.

[@lovegodscreatures6776]

The background music is far too loud and distracting ...

[@robertmueller2023]

My faith is just a conjuration of a sorcerer? Yep. Sorry to disappoint. It doesn't disappoint me at all. It affirms the afterlife, it affirms moral standards and accountability (you're living it now), and it's an adventurous discovery (seek and ye shall find the truth). Einstein: "Subtle is the Lord, but malicious he is not".

[@robertmueller2023]

I've always been amazed how much I could achieve in my ministry without even lifting a finger. As if I have powerful secret angels out there spreading the gospel for me.

[@gladyshatcher7456]

Wonderful, but I find the background music distracting

[@danaleanne38]

I am a sabbath keeper ,but i have a problem with s.d.a. when i sudy their history. I found many red flags .For one thing ,you speak about pyramids and obelisk how they are pagun ,yet both Ellen White and her husband are buried under tomstones of these very things. It also says not to add to or take away from whats written, something you also do. I also have a problem with thing Paul wrote that contradicts what the 12 apostles wrote and what Yeshua himself said . Im always looking for understanding in what Yeshua says over all others .So i have listened to all sda teachings as well as many others .what i have found is i trust only Yeshua and his father ,my father YHWH.

[@kat-75]

None of her writing was added to the bible

[@adrielisaacs9228]

You seem quite confused - none of Ellen G. White's writings elevate the Bible or were edited into the Bible. She herself said to read the Bible before her books, and that the Bible and God's Word is higher than anything she said. As for the tombstones, finding issue with that is ridiculous. Their Graves are marked, as everyone's are in a cemetery. They aren't going to be prejudiced for having a tombstone.

[@danaleanne38]

You can't tell me that being g buried under a pyramid is not a pagun ...aka freemason thing I'm not confused .

[@adrielisaacs9228]

@@danaleanne38 it's not pagan, neither does it have freemasonry things associated with it. It's literally a slab of concrete with their name and DOB and DOD. How is that a bad thing? Are you implying that everyone with a tombstone in the cemetery is a pagan or participates in freemasonry? That's ridiculous.

[@danaleanne38]

@adrielisaacs9228 lol I've read and found alot that proves different. If anyone want to know just start looking 😉

[@robertmueller2023]

What was I thinking? Oh yeah ... I look for evidence of the afterlife on the outside, not the inside. Reincarnational/God's Will-type coincidences instead of some biological mechanism like Descartes' Pineal Gland. Although, dreaming and the Cartesian Theater fascinates me.

[@susangonos589]

Our DNA has a record of things that our forefathers went through. It is all recorded in our DNA. Not reincarnation.
