Discuss Luke 4 Page 10

Yes, satan knew Jesus VERY well; for Jesus is the one that cast satan rom Heaven - with his angels - and consigned them to a hell created for him and his followers; hell was created for JUST the devil and his angels before man was created, but - man changed that, Isa. 5:14.

God because he is good, do not tolerate intentional UGLINESS.

Zeingoff; the unclean spirits recognized Jesus, because He is God, and they knew Him from before this world was made. Men WILL NOT recognize Jesus because of an inherent heathen mind, that thrusts God and His Spirit away from earth, and out of the affairs of men. We have the kind of rulers we do because God has judged it to be so, on account of the sinning and defiant rebellion without restraint.

What struck me is that the devil recognizes who Jesus was before most of the people. He needed such a one for his service. He offered supernatural power but Jesus new his power was derived from the living God. Many have succumbed to the Devil's bargain, the foremost being in the highest office in the land. Very apocalyptic, if Revelation is to be believed. What do you think, Irene?

I love Lk. 4:16-21; They are the beginning of Jesus' ministry after He had fasted AND prayed. He went into the synagogue, asked for God's Word, turned to Isa. and STOOD UP to read (our example to follow) and then sat down and gave a summary of His ministry for the next 3 1/2 yrs. These scriptures, to me, are so 'holy' and full of such graciousness, wonder. Nor do I know why I feel this way - ?

The Lord Jesus confessed that He always did those things that pleased the Father; and so for our example to follow, He set everything He did and taught, in the way we should learn how to lay our foundation in God, and build upon. If we are to realize the blessedness, and be able to teach others of the way; we must first and fundamentally be proven by the searching fire of the Word, against Satan.

Before Jesus began His public service to the people, He subjected Himself to self-denial and trial of His soul under the devil's temptations. We should learn from Him in all things, and seek the same Spirit of wisdom, and a character that responds and behaves with honor, steadfastness and virtue. When we have set ourselves to seek God and humble ourselves, we must endure faithful and true.

THAT MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE,BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD. Luke 4:4

Martha: For than shall be great tribulation,such as was not since the beginning of the world--- Matthew 24:21. And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many.V:11.(Acts14:22 --We must through much tribulation. enter into the kingdom of God. The falling away are those turning their back on God, they will tell you read other books. We are to live by every word of God. Luke 4:4

Irene:11/19 Your post,centurians asked. Something you read in another book! 3nd time! What line are "you"crossing? we are to live by every WORD of GOD: Luke 4:4. not other books! Satan is a roaring lion, a powerful demon,he can use the littlest thing to drive someone into the lake of fire! Using The Lord's Word correctly has everything to do with someone's salvation. Is He calling you. John 6:44

Genesis 3:14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

King James Version (KJV)

To Bruce - something I forgot - No, satan has no power over GOD'S people, i.e. Job, Paul etc.; He has been given power in this earthly life over sinners - before they are saved. Yes, he is the god of this world.

You should read that part of job and you'll see he never asked. nobody said anything about the power of God. you're in denial of Satan's power! he destroys lives with his power! That's why you need the armor of God. if he have no power we wouldn't need armor! We would be living in the Garden of Eden.

To Bruce - I can see you WANT satan to have his own power; Jesus is bigger than that, Bruce; Jesus is God and He is ALL powerful; if God created satan - you know God is ALL power - and satan as none. It's just - common sense. "Come, let us reason together ..............."; God wants us to use our common He gave us. And - why do you think satan was there before God that day? To ASK ...........

Irene: Satan never asked for permission he never even mentioned Job. God mentioned to him consider Job. God told Job go ahead do what you want. He can play with the weather, he can play with the minds of people to hurt others! He's taken moreto hell then that are going to heaven I think thats power! He is called ruler,king,prince of the air. Put on all the armor to stand against his power!

To Bruce on satan - he doesn't have power. Job 1:6-12. He has to present himself before God and ask permission. God allows him to grieve us to test our love and faith for Him. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Michael C: Satan has power and authority to give power and authority, Revelations 13. Destroyer of life 1Peter 5:8. ) Giver of life Romans 10:13

Is it possible that the garden is here and our imperfections having learned we were naked has made us blind to God's perfection?
St. Luke 4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,) this is only one example of our inability to see the truth right before our very eyes. Miracles do happen every day St. Matt 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

We don't listen to, or answer the devil's talk, about his power; he is a liar from the beginning, and the father of lies. His name literally means, Slanderer." Read the divine account in Genesis 3, and we see nothing said to the serpent about power and glory being given him! Where then did he get that perverted idea? He made it up, just like everything he thinks and says; all perversion and lies!

The Prince of the power of the air. V.6. All the power and the glory of the world has been given to satan. And he gives them to whomsoever he will. Understanding that, we can see how evil is being given out in the world today. To gov. officials, media, etc. Satan is free to distribute the power he has been given.

Verse 18 shows that Jesus had God's spirit and his authority to preach came from the highest authority.

It make me see Jesus is very strong and no one could ever be as strong as he was

41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? What manner of man is this that even the unclean spirits are subject to Him?

Luke 4: 17-21-- I love these vs. especially because they are 'endowed' with such solemnity and grace. Jesus took the BOOK, opened it to the place where it was written and 'standing' in respect of the reading of the word - He let them know WHY He was here; then, after closing the BOOK He sat down. What He read was a summary of the next three years of His life - in a nutshell.

Satan tempts us according to our weaknesses. We should fast and pray for God's mission for task.

Cool

The beautiful meaning of chapter 61 to me is that this is the material the old Religious leaders had and studied at that time. They should have known this as being a great prophesy to come. However, when Jesus appeared in front of them at the Temple in LUKE 4:18, He opened the Bible and "read" or told them exactly who HE was with rephrasing Isaiah 61 in front of them. In fact, I do not think He read it. He spoke it to them. He was telling them who He was, why He was born, and what He was to accomplish. They said later on in Luke that Jesus could not be that Person because they knew Him to be the "carpenter's son". Then, they took Him out of the Temple to try to kill Him in anger. he walked through them. It was not His time to die. The Prophesy of Isaiah 61 had been fulfilled.

Luke truly beleived if we prophesies to ourselves and beleive we can surly be heal with out doubting or any negative thoughts to the mind.

before I googled this scripture, I heard the Lord Say, if you continue to give to missions People will be astonished at your doctrine.

Jesus taught on the sabbath here. Remember we are told in Gods word to "Remember the sabbath and keep it holy." That's because the sabbath day is sanctified by God. The Vatican says:" If you wish to keep the sabbath of the Lord of the Bible, you will kkeep Saturday. However, for traditions sake, we will keep Sunday." WOAH. The Bible says not to keep meaningless genealogies or vain traditions of men.
