Luke 4:1 KJV
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
When Jesus was led of the Spirit He was led into a wilderness, where He went without food forty days and was an afterward hungry.
But when t he devil tempted Him to follow him, The devil offered Him
Provision, bread, food. Satan would have met the need of the flesh
Power, the kingdoms of this world. Satan would have given Him peace in this world.
Health, no harm in the flesh. Satan would have made Him safe in this world
Now it appears to me that many of our churches have followed after the things that Satan offers rather than the things that God leads us toward. God leads us toward sacrifice, service and sometime suffering in the name of Christ. But our churches are chasing after prominence, peace and power in this world. We have mistaken these as the blessing of God and in doing so have led countless souls to Satan's domains.
Honestly, which one is of the Spirit and which one is of Satan? Luke 4 makes it pretty clear.
