KNOW YOUR DEMONIC ENEMIES

My Dear Precious Child,
    If you and My other children are still tempting Me by your doing foolish things and expecting Me to protect and save you from the consequences, then you don't know Me.  You are like Job.  You only know Me by hearing what someone else taught you, which may be in error.  That person also does not know Me because he or she was taught about Me by someone who also did not intimately know Me, only knew Me by facts other people knew about Me.  (Job 42:1-6)  The apostle Paul spent three years in the desert alone with Me.  He did not consult with anyone, only with My Holy Spirit.  As a result, he wrote 2/3 of the New Covenant Instruction Book relating to My kingdom of heaven coming into the lives of My children.  After three years, Paul recognized the devil's plan to lure My children away from My Holy Spirit's tutoring and subject them to the old dead covenant of sin and death for their salvation from evil.  The false prophets delight in luring you away from your freedom and liberty from the devil's evil works by subjecting you to the devil's trust in the old covenant. 
    You can begin to know your enemy and his temptations in your mind by examining how he tempted Jesus in an effort to gain control over Him.  The devil tempted Jesus in three ways.  Jesus had not eaten in 40 days, so the first thing he tempted Jesus to do was to use My power of the Holy Spirit of which He had just been anointed to turn a stone into bread. The devil knew that I would not turn stone into bread for Jesus, so the devil knew that if Jesus tried to do what the devil tempted Him to do, that the failure would rob Jesus of faith in Me.  In reply to the thoughts in His mind to turn a stone into bread as a test by the devil, Jesus Christ replied that people don't live only by bread but instead they live by every word that flows from My mind into their thoughts.  That was a physical temptation of Jesus, to turn a stone into bread. The devil tempts My children after they are baptized in My Holy Spirit to tempt Me by their doing something frivolous or foolish in order to test Me and My power.  (Matthew 4:1-4)
    The second thing with which the devil tempted Jesus was the temptation for Jesus to climb to the highest point of the temple, jump off and ask Me to send My angels to catch Him.  We have already talked about that specific test from the devil of me.  The devil wanted Jesus to jump off of that high place in order for him to die in the flesh, thus ending the ministry of Jesus Christ.  He was human in the flesh but he had My spiritual powers of the Holy Spirit to defeat the devil in the earth, not to do foolish things to test His faith in Me.(Matthew 4:5-7)
    The third thing with which the devil tempted Jesus was to show Jesus in His thoughts all the nations of the world and their beauty of which the devil has complete control.  The devil told Jesus that if He fell at the devil's feet and worshiped him that the devil would give to him all the nations of the world as His own and the people all over the world would worship Him.  The devil controlled all nations and still does through the Pharisees/liberal leaders, the  Sadducees/conservative leaders and the religious leaders. Jesus did not fall for that temptation because He had already come to earth from the greatest nation, My spiritual kingdom of heaven.  That is why He declared that people should only worship Me. ((Matthew 4:6-11)
    When the leaders of your country promise for your country to be the greatest in the world, they have fallen at the feet of the devil and are worshiping him without knowing it.  (Matthew 23:1-15) Many of My children have fallen for the devil in this temptation of wanting themselves and their country to be the greatest in the world. (Mark 10:35-45; Luke 22:24-34) James and John desired to be greatest and Jesus told them that their desires to be greatest would result in their having to experience the same death that Jesus did.  Being great in the earth is not all they thought it would be.  It contributed to their demise and the horror of their deaths because they bound themselves to the devil and his desires for themselves.
    My instructions to you that you need to know the voice of your enemy are so that you will be able to refute his temptations in your mind by your using My words which put him in his place of crawling the earth.  My desire is that you cast every demon out of the earth and into the fiery furnace.  (Matthew 13:36-43)
    Your Father of Spiritual Power and Wisdom
