Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Paul right, coming to you live from Alta, Monte Springs, Florida.
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is the Ember Show, your host Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let's get into prayer, Lord Father that arts in heaven.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:10Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through these
- 0:12Speaker 1: mics and go through the listener's ears and reach their
- 0:15Speaker 1: hearts and minds and be able to apply these verses
- 0:17Speaker 1: to their lives and the Lord Jesus Christ name I pray.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Amen.
- 0:21Speaker 1: So I just finished up verses one through fifteen on
- 0:26Speaker 1: Matthew chapter three. We're gonna go ahead and jump into
- 0:29Speaker 1: chapter four and this will all make sense later. How
- 0:34Speaker 1: I do not finish all the chapters.
- 0:36Speaker 2: They all come together in segments and parts.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So I'm giving you a little bit of time to
- 0:43Speaker 1: grab your Bible or get on your Bible app and
- 0:45Speaker 1: read along as you hear along, be able to really
- 0:50Speaker 1: soak the word in. Amen. And I also take this
- 0:55Speaker 1: time to allow myself to open up, to allow the
- 0:59Speaker 1: Holy sp to come in and kind of just talk
- 1:01Speaker 1: a little bit about where I'm at or whatever I
- 1:03Speaker 1: want to talk about. This is the Imbra Show. I
- 1:06Speaker 1: could do what I want, you know, and that's the
- 1:08Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about, Like we have this
- 1:10Speaker 1: free will. I put on the consciousness of Christ each
- 1:13Speaker 1: and every day, and I've been doing that for I
- 1:17Speaker 1: want to say, six months something of that nature, six
- 1:22Speaker 1: to seven months. But there's been plenty of times when
- 1:25Speaker 1: I have been just a believer, and I have been
- 1:27Speaker 1: just someone that just was passing through and it was
- 1:29Speaker 1: kind of on the fence and didn't know if I.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Really wanted to surrender to God.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I had to go through my trials and tribulations a
- 1:37Speaker 1: little bit different, and I bet you do too as well.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Everybody's journey is different. It's not necessarily a competition. You know.
- 1:48Speaker 1: God is very patient and gracious with us. He's a
- 1:51Speaker 1: loving father. A lot of us didn't have a loving father,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and I'm talking about an earthly father. I know I
- 1:57Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have an emotionally loving father. Provider decent, but
- 2:03Speaker 1: loving not so much, and he had his own demons,
- 2:07Speaker 1: But either way, that was my dad and.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Rest in peace.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Five years ago he passed away stays four lung cancer,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and I miss him. But at the same time, I
- 2:17Speaker 1: hope and pray that he's in a better place, and
- 2:20Speaker 1: I hope that I was able to shed light on
- 2:24Speaker 1: him with my faith as a believer. But at the
- 2:26Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, that's not my place
- 2:29Speaker 1: to say. Who goes to heaven and who goes to Hell.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I mean, I hope when I get up there I
- 2:34Speaker 1: see all my you know, peoples. But at the end
- 2:38Speaker 1: of the day, I mean, that's why this is such
- 2:40Speaker 1: a personal relationship. And we're in Matthew chapter four if
- 2:43Speaker 1: you want to read along as you hear along, and
- 2:46Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about the devil tries to
- 2:48Speaker 1: make Jesus do wrong things, just like he tries to
- 2:52Speaker 1: make us do wrong things all the time. And we
- 2:54Speaker 1: are so not.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Only distracted, but we are influenced. We are manipulated.
- 2:59Speaker 1: We are and it's not just by TV and social
- 3:03Speaker 1: media to buy people as well. The demons love to
- 3:07Speaker 1: be able to get into vessels and temples meaning us
- 3:12Speaker 1: as human beings, and really say and do things, just
- 3:17Speaker 1: like when you have the Holy Spirit, it says and
- 3:19Speaker 1: does things. It's very that simple. What side do you
- 3:23Speaker 1: really want to be on? And you can't stay on
- 3:26Speaker 1: the fence because the fence belongs to the devil. And
- 3:30Speaker 1: I'm here as a messenger to know that I'm sorry,
- 3:34Speaker 1: not just to know, but to show that.
- 3:37Speaker 2: I've been on the fence. I've been on.
- 3:40Speaker 1: The other side as well. So I've made that commitment.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I have surrendered, and I have not only just a
- 3:49Speaker 1: belief system, but a consciousness of Christ.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Amen.
- 3:54Speaker 1: So let's get into verse one. Then the Holy Spirit,
- 3:59Speaker 1: let's get it, led Jesus into the wilderness. See that's
- 4:03Speaker 1: the first sentence of Matthew chapter four. Think about this
- 4:09Speaker 1: for a second. Then the Holy Spirit led Jesus into
- 4:13Speaker 1: the wilderness. The Holy Spirit, just like the other spirits
- 4:17Speaker 1: when we're talking about evil, will take you through different things.
- 4:21Speaker 1: This is a life of different tests. I want you
- 4:25Speaker 1: to understand that God didn't even spare his own son.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Do you think He's gonna spare you. It's up to
- 4:32Speaker 1: you how. You just determine which way you're gonna go.
- 4:37Speaker 1: That's free will. While he was there, the devil came
- 4:41Speaker 1: to him. He tried to cause Jesus to do wrong things.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Verse two. Jesus did not eat anything for forty days
- 4:50Speaker 1: and forty nights. At the end of this time, he
- 4:53Speaker 1: was very hungry. This is where we go really deep,
- 4:58Speaker 1: because this is how the devil tempted Jesus, and I'm
- 5:02Speaker 1: going to show you how these parables, how he tempts
- 5:07Speaker 1: us as well. He's very clever. Then the devil came
- 5:14Speaker 1: to Jesus and said to him, if you are the
- 5:16Speaker 1: son of God, speak to these stones, tell them to
- 5:20Speaker 1: become bred. So he's already.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Trying to manipulate Jesus in this sense.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But here we go verse four. Jesus replied, No, the
- 5:34Speaker 1: Bible says that food alone cannot cause people to live.
- 5:38Speaker 1: They need to hear every word that God speaks. That
- 5:42Speaker 1: is what gives them true life. And God speaks through people.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Before Jesus came, there was people that were God's people,
- 5:52Speaker 1: and they were spoken to in a way of what
- 5:56Speaker 1: to do and prepare the way. Amen. So let me
- 5:59Speaker 1: get into it a little.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Let me get into this a little bit deeper.
- 6:05Speaker 1: This was a reply.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Jesus knew that this was going to come.
- 6:12Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness knowing that
- 6:18Speaker 1: he was going to be tempted. He already knew it.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Little psychics, right, little psyches.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Think about this for a second. That kind of holy
- 6:27Speaker 1: spirit living in Jesus. We are given that. Oh, thank
- 6:31Speaker 1: you God, Glory to God. They need to hear every
- 6:35Speaker 1: word that God speaks right. That is what gives them
- 6:38Speaker 1: true life. Now we're going to verse five. I already
- 6:40Speaker 1: stated that. Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem. He
- 6:44Speaker 1: made him stand on the highest part of the temple,
- 6:47Speaker 1: talking about the mountain. Verse six. He said to Jesus,
- 6:51Speaker 1: if you are the son of God, jumped down from
- 6:54Speaker 1: here to the ground. You know what the Bible says,
- 6:57Speaker 1: God will tell his angels to keep you safe. They
- 7:01Speaker 1: will hold you safely in their hands. They will not
- 7:05Speaker 1: let you hurt your foot on a stone.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Look how Jesus replied verse seven.
- 7:11Speaker 1: No. The Bible also says, do not test the Lord
- 7:15Speaker 1: your God, to see if he will save you. Verse eight.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Then the devil led Jesus up a very high mountain.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You see how the test just kept getting stronger and stronger.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He was really testing him. Then the devil led Jesus
- 7:33Speaker 1: up to a very high mountains. He showed Jesus all
- 7:37Speaker 1: the kingdoms in the whole world. They were very great
- 7:42Speaker 1: and beautiful. Verse nine. The devil said, I will give
- 7:45Speaker 1: you power over all these things. Just go down on
- 7:48Speaker 1: your knees in front of me and worship me, and
- 7:51Speaker 1: I will give it all to you. There's so many
- 7:54Speaker 1: people today that have got everything, and that's because they
- 8:00Speaker 1: worship the devil. Everything that belongs to this world, it
- 8:08Speaker 1: belongs to the devil. This is the devil's playground. And
- 8:13Speaker 1: we are here to glorify God, so we could be
- 8:16Speaker 1: able to have our bodies glorified in heaven and be
- 8:20Speaker 1: able to be glorified with Jesus and God and heaven.
- 8:26Speaker 1: So I want to make this very clear that God
- 8:31Speaker 1: sent his only son to be tempted in this way.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I kind of stated this in the beginning of the podcast.
- 8:37Speaker 1: He's going to do the same for you. He's going
- 8:41Speaker 1: to let demons, He's going to let these circumstances come
- 8:47Speaker 1: into your life. He wants to see if you're going
- 8:52Speaker 1: to choose to give your will to God or choose
- 8:57Speaker 1: to give your will to the devil. There is a
- 9:01Speaker 1: war going on between God and the devil. Jesus is
- 9:05Speaker 1: the mediator. He's the one that is there to save us.
- 9:09Speaker 1: He's the one that makes the path that's narrow. I've
- 9:15Speaker 1: been on the devil's side, I've been on God's side.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I'm not a horrible person, but I have made horrible choices.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Now that I am following Christ is God's son, I
- 9:29Speaker 1: don't have to worry about living up to God's standards
- 9:33Speaker 1: because God's standards is perfection.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Nobody can be perfect. Nobody can be like his son.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You can get close, but you're gonna always fall short
- 9:44Speaker 1: of God's standards. But that's why we need Jesus Christ
- 9:48Speaker 1: being able to have the Holy Spirit. Verse ten.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Jesus then said to him, Satan, go.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Away from me. This is what you gotta say to Satan.
- 9:57Speaker 1: This is what you gotta say to the demons. This
- 9:59Speaker 1: is what you gotta say say to your depression. This
- 10:01Speaker 1: is what you got to say to your anxiety. This
- 10:05Speaker 1: is what you got to say to negative people. This
- 10:07Speaker 1: is what you got to say, Satan, go away. You
- 10:11Speaker 1: gotta tell depression go away in the name of Jesus.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Anxiety go away in the name of Jesus. Put on
- 10:17Speaker 1: some worship music and let me get deeper. The Bible says,
- 10:20Speaker 1: only worship Jesus, your Lord God.
- 10:24Speaker 2: He is the only one that you should. Oh.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Hey, don't listen to the enemies, don't listen to your thoughts,
- 10:33Speaker 1: don't listen to the way, to the way that you feel,
- 10:36Speaker 1: fixate yourself on God, Jesus in the Holy Spirit, and
- 10:40Speaker 1: see what happens. I guarantee you through time, the demons
- 10:47Speaker 1: will flee, the devil will be like, I can't mess
- 10:49Speaker 1: with that one. I don't mean the attacks aren't gonna come.
- 10:53Speaker 1: You have to be ready for any attack. And this
- 10:55Speaker 1: is how and this is how we get deeper into
- 10:57Speaker 1: the Word. Amen. Matthew Chapter four, verse eleven states Then
- 11:03Speaker 1: the devil left Jesus alone. Immediately angels came to Jesus
- 11:09Speaker 1: and they took care of him. Hanging in there. When
- 11:12Speaker 1: you're going through these trials and tribulations and you're going
- 11:15Speaker 1: through these spiritual attacks, call upon the Lord Jesus, call
- 11:21Speaker 1: upon the angels, and in time, those angels will take
- 11:28Speaker 1: care of you.
- 11:29Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit will take care of you.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I am a witness to this. There's there's millions of
- 11:35Speaker 1: witnesses to this. But you have to fixate yourself on
- 11:39Speaker 1: worshiping God by following not only just Jesus, but praising Jesus,
- 11:45Speaker 1: praying to Jesus, getting into the Word, being around like
- 11:49Speaker 1: minded people that are following that, our believers as well.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Come on, let's let's let's make this simple. Let's make
- 11:58Speaker 1: this Bible simple tonight. I love Matthew. Chapter four, Jesus
- 12:02Speaker 1: starts to speak God's message in Galley. I might have
- 12:08Speaker 1: pronounced it wrong. Forgive me.
- 12:11Speaker 2: As I forgive you, I always will. You know who
- 12:14Speaker 2: I'm talking to.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Verse twelve. Then Jesus heard that her Rod had put
- 12:22Speaker 1: John the Baptist in prison.
- 12:27Speaker 2: So Jesus returned to Galilee.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Verse thirteen.
- 12:31Speaker 2: We're getting close to ending two. Bear with me.
- 12:34Speaker 1: But he did not stay in Natheris. He came to
- 12:40Speaker 1: live in Kapronuma, which is a town of the shore
- 12:44Speaker 1: of Lake Galley GALILEI. It was in the parts of
- 12:51Speaker 1: Israel called Ziblun and Neptility, So I probably didn't pronounce
- 12:58Speaker 1: it right. But bear with me. This caused God's message
- 13:02Speaker 1: to become true. Long ago, God had said through his
- 13:07Speaker 1: prophet Isaiah, I am speaking to you people who live
- 13:12Speaker 1: in zal Bloom and Nepitillah. Your land is on the
- 13:17Speaker 1: way to Lake Galley. It is across the Jordan River
- 13:23Speaker 1: in Galley where people of the other nations live. We're
- 13:29Speaker 1: talking about the Jordan River too, right where people were
- 13:31Speaker 1: being baptized by John, and where John baptized Jesus, where
- 13:36Speaker 1: is the parable? In this right, God's message becomes true
- 13:42Speaker 1: and it becomes life through Jesus Christ. Amen, let's get
- 13:47Speaker 1: a little let's do it, just a little recap on this,
- 13:51Speaker 1: you know, and I do the titles. You know, the
- 13:53Speaker 1: devil tries to make Jesus do wrong things, very tempted.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Jesus passed. A lot of us have not be of
- 14:01Speaker 1: good cheer, though, be of good cheer because the Lord
- 14:06Speaker 1: Jesus Christ has already done it. We got to cling
- 14:08Speaker 1: to him. And when we're talking also about the titles,
- 14:13Speaker 1: you know, Jesus, Jesus starts to speak God's message. He
- 14:22Speaker 1: starts to speak it. And I just want to thank
- 14:26Speaker 1: you the listener for pressing play and listening in this
- 14:28Speaker 1: long I'm gonna go ahead and close out. I got
- 14:31Speaker 1: thirty seconds. And I just want someone in particular that
- 14:36Speaker 1: listens to this to know that you are still truly
- 14:39Speaker 1: loved and forgiven. And I hope it's vice versa, and
- 14:44Speaker 1: I'll hope you come back. But at the end of
- 14:46Speaker 1: the day, you know where I'm at, And God's in
- 14:49Speaker 1: the middle of this, and it's on his time. There's
- 14:52Speaker 1: a lot of people praying and the power of prayer
- 14:55Speaker 1: is real. This is the Ember show your host emberor
- 14:58Speaker 1: thank you for pressing play
