Day #36 - Resistance - Micayla Robertson

Dear God I’m Grateful For Resistance

God gives us the power and ability to resist any temptation that comes our way. Whether our flesh is drawn into sin or our spirit is weak, God sent Jesus as a perfect example of resistance and gives us the same authority to resist the devil.

In Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus resisted the devil 3 times! It reads:

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry.

During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”

Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”

Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”

“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus.

Jesus resisted a strong desire to please his flesh, peer pressure from another (satan), and power and control over his situation. I don’t know about you, but these are three common situations that lead many into sin today. We often lack self control over our own bodies, we follow the wrong crowds, and we seek influence and power more than we seek Christ. Like Jesus, we also have the power to resist the devil and receive blessings and provision from angels.

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. – James 4:7
