FAST AND TEMPTATION OF CHRIST Matthew 4:1-11.

Mat 4:1 -2
¹ Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

Series: In him was life John 1:4
How awesome that Christ began his ministry with baptism and then fasting 40 days and night.
This speaks to one that has life gives great importance to prayer and fasting for successful ministry. THEN THAT TEACHES THAT WE PRAY AND WE FAST LIFE MUCH FOR SUCCESS IN A WORLD THAT IS EVIL DEAD AND A DESERT IN THE SPIRITUAL.

Christ is beginning his ministry and starts with many days of fasting and prayer! THAT GREAT TEACHING FOR U.S. TODAY WE LIVE IN THIS WORLD LOST AND DEAD! Christ who is the life that is without sin begins his ministry with much prayer, REINTERAMOS Christ is showing us what the perfect spiritual life in practice, and shows us the importance of prayer and fasting in this world that is spiritually dead.
 He, who is perfect and perfect communion with the Father begins his ministry praying long after baptism. We talk about into account estimated in prayer we must have to succeed in our ministries in any gift or Mison we have of God. We receive the life of Christ "you He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins" Ephesians 2:2
(We have another study also about the importance of fasting). Today it may be very little practiced fasting, but Christ who was introduced as the new covenant begins or sets on the basis of his active ministry nothing more and nothing less than 40 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF FAST!

How to stand your physique many days without eating? By faith in Him in the sky that was helped, (So some of the commenters discussed), there already see the power of faith in Christ, He had too great a faith, had the faith that moves heavenly power God on earth. We are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, so we can move the heavenly powers of God on earth with prayers and fasting FE, Christ is our example of the practice of living communion of a son of God in the earth.
We have great faith and see wonderful things in our lives, (the faith that comes from our union with God), faith must grow a lot in taking the union with God that Christ gave us one day see wonderful things by faith as conversions souls and prayers impossible (humanly), answered.
DO YOU WANT THIS FANTASTIC LIVING LIFE IN ABUNDANCE IN THE SPIRITUAL?
THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE TO CHRIST: We too today have in us is to have life be united to the Holy Spirit is to be united with God in life.
 He guides us into all truth, John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth, He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell what is to come.
And it gives us the power of God in our lives. Christ was Guided by the Holy Spirit, so are we in the abundant life that Christ gave us, in our interior runs like a river of living water. John 7:38

THE THREE TEMPTATIONS:
A-TURNING STONES IN PAN.
Mat 4:3 And the tempter came and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, 'MAN SHALL LIVE BY BREAD ALONE NO MAN, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD. "

As Christ was hungry the enemy seizes the opportunity. In this temptation the devil wants to divert the path of Christ, that the use His Divinity, But Christ was living as a man, that was the plan of God, to be at all like us. The devil wanted Christ out of the path of God's plan, it is true that Christ can make a mountain of bread, but that was not God's plan for his life and he did not. We should not do that which is not God's plan for our lives.
Christ resists the temptation with the Word of God and Jesus Himself said not by bread alone does man live but by every word of God. (Deuteronomy 8:3) The spiritual life of Christ is seen in the use and love the Bible scripture, spiritual child of God always walks with scripture, meditate, study it and learn it and live it when the enemy comes due to the power of the Spirit and the Word of God,

B-then asked you pull up the temple:
Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him * to the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: "HIS angels charge" and "IN THE HANDS will take, NOT YOUR FOOT against a stone." (Psalm 91:11-12)
Mat 4:7 Jesus said: It is written: "Do not put the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 6:16)

As they say was very high, ANY COMMENT THAT MAY BE AROUND ABOUT 75 FEET HIGH Have they appeared there in an instant or have been walking?, The Valera says "The devil led him" he also has power, could move to that place , and the Spirit just leave it for Christ pass the test and beat the devil, God let him pass the test for some reason he knows, to mature us evidence, Hebrews says that he was tempted in every way to one day be perfect to help those who are tempted,
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
Today we perfectly understood us and specializes in helping those who are tempted, now trust Him testing That's the best. Also seen was necessary for the Son of Man is also tested as are all God's children living in this world, to leave no doubt of its perfection, never be said of the man that beat as evidence. In addition to his proof leaves us an example of faith, strength, AND ALSO EXAMPLE of how to use the Word of God, the faith that comes from our union with God the Spirit to overcome every trial.
This time also wanted to divert Christ from his mission to live at all like men, One aspect of temptation is likely to have been Can you or can not you do this? Since you are the Son of God, or not trust what he says Psalm 91? When you challenge well, and you know you and trust and faith you have left is a temptation to accept the challenge but apparently Christ had no bad or perverted pride and if not from God that there is work to do, and not had that accept the challenge, which did not have any sense to be in a tratativa with the devil, that would obey his challenge. NOTHING COMES THE DEVIL WE OBEY. To get into that. Many times when something does not work for the glory of God, but to showcase the power of our faith or the power we have in Christ, if it brings glory to God, if it serves their purposes BY MORE THAN THIS TO OUR FULLEST EXTENT DO? to accept or do?. Just to FEED our ego?
Christ says, "Do not put the Lord your God" When the devil incites us somewhat this tempting us out of obedience to God alone.

C The third temptation:
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him * to a very high mountain and * showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 and said, This will give you, if you fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan! It is written: "WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY."
Mat 4:11 Then the devil left him *, and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

That for human beings is among the largest and most attractive, of Christ is that neither will play, or scrape it, it seems it was a child or something so tempting guy for the single answer: Go, Satan! It is written: "WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY." Deuteronomy 6:13
All the kingdoms of the world and their glory, this speaks of power and economic capital, the material. The devil is now like he owned the world and gives you everything if you worship Christ, this was the last card in hand that had Satan offer everything great that is? To accept this devil if Christ owns everything that exists? This absurd result will to Christ, while he was living as a human he was master of all. Christ is the King of the whole world in the millennium and everything was put under his feet in the sky and the land.-Zacarias 14:9;
Ephesians 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that to come: 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

! WAY BIGGER THAT HUMANS ARE TEMPTED IN POWER AND THE MATERIAL:
1 Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Want or ambition sometimes very high charges, not that we can not have them, but that is not out of pride but because it happened naturally, be recognized by all those who love unbridled ambition humans can sometimes tempt Having a power sweeping economic, not that we can not have many assets, but that we put to the glory of God as the early Christians, make it very profitable and solve the growth of the kingdom of heaven on earth. That would be ideal. Not for our glory but for God.
The Life of Christ is characterized by humility, contentment, living for the glory of God, that makes many temptations of the devil are extremely childish or no weight to him, This is the way we must live the life of Christ
