The last message was about the Holy Spirit. If you are of the “LIVING” then you are able to eat the invisible! That is what is part of the POWER OF GOD! JESUS PROVED IT IN THE WILDERNESS!
JEREMIAH said 15:16″Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16 KJV
If you keep thinking with your “GIANT DIRT MOUNTAIN”(Mark 11:23 “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23) called YOUR FLESH, you will NOT FEED AT JESUS’banquet table. Your SPIRIT (if saved, can not feed) demands food and growth comes from meat and not just milk (Hebrews 5)!
Jesus said Man MUST LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD! Jesus did not physically eat for 40 days. He feed his Spirit which is LIVING OVER THE DEAD( the flesh). It must be understood that we who are in Christ must think that we “literally can starve our flesh and still live healthy lives! I am NOT describing an act of unhealthy anorexia BUT a type of mindset with our spirit over our flesh. To die daily in the flesh (Rom. 8:13).
These lessons from parables Jesus gave in Matt., Mark and Luke were not about temptations that only Jesus was tempted with. The entire “wilderness story” is to understand the plan of salvation! Jesus did not come to earth for the purpose of proving he could resist and “BECOME GOD”. IT SEEMS AS MOST READ THESE STORIES AND COME TO THAT CONCLUSION! READ the stories as the Pharisees and Sadducees tried to trick him and you get the ideology AS THEY ACCUSE HIM OF “BECOMING” a God! They call him a “BLASPHEMER”!!
THEY DONT DENY GOD EXIST!
THEY ACTUALLY blaspheme the Holy Spirit (more in the previous story called “The Holy Spirit and the Boot Plan”).
These lost people claim they know that they “worship” correctly and worship THE GOD correctly! But, ALL OF THESE STORIES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT HAVE BEEN SPECIFICALLY TELLING PEOPLE WHO GOD WAS BUT THEY HAVE MOSTLY DISCERNED WITH THEIR FLESH ( 1 Cor. 2 – 1 Cor.4)!
Jesus tells them they are lost because they think “carnally”!
Jesus flat out explains you must think “SPIRITUALLY”!
Jesus was tempted (#1) in the wilderness to turn the stones into bread. Jesus gave Satan an answer that hid a secret for the sake of the gospel saving our lives! He first answered him in the “carnal” way by saying that he can not “literally turn the “ROCKS” into a literal FLESH food. Then he answered with the SECRET SPIRITUAL ANSWER, man can not live by “bread” ( not a physical noun here but a figurative word meaning “living spiritual food as Jeremiah describes it) alone, but by the “word” (here God describes the word as a source of salvation particularly to the Gentiles! Because ALL THE JEWS HAVE REJECTED HIM and at the very present point on earth Jesus has “basically nobody on earth accepting him as God and it is actually playing on Jesus’ fleshly part of his body- emotional as the part of our weakest link in our lives) God! Jesus says he will not snap his fingers, or “turn the stones into bread”; because…… Jesus says Duet. 6:16, “Do not tempt the Lord”!
Jesus in the second temptation is tempted to serve another just like in the story of Moses! The whole rock splitting event is A PTN (a prophetic prophecy of what will happen with Jesus! AND IT DOES!)!! SATAN tempts Jesus. In the Moses story, Moses was the type of Jesus ( many claim he is a type of God as in the Old Testament but he is NOT! HE WAS A LITERAL TYPE OF JESUS IN THE FLESH- there are 2 reasons how to prove it:
#1. The temptation story you will see is an exact parallel.
#2 Jesus refers to himself as in Moses’ time who was “Yahweh” and at “Massah”- which gets converted to “Massiah” and to the English as “Messiah”! The entire story of Moses “as God” instructed to come down Mt.Sinai and talk to the Isrealites was NOT “as God the Father (as you would think because of it happening in the Old Testament), BUT AS LIKE JESUS ( The first wilderness story is the prophetic typological story to be FULFILLED BY JESUS HIMSELF IN THE WILDERNESS ALSO)!!! The Isrealites (lost idol worshippers as witness in the story- a type of Satan) test Moses (a type of God- particularly JESUS) tempt God to praise the same false God as Satan later does (a PTN story of the wilderness scene #2!!!!!!!)
MOSES teaches Jesus saves both Jew and Gentile ( see the snake on the pole story while in the wilderness).
MOSES teaches Jesus is God talking to him about HIM “to come”.
MOSES teaches Jesus does not snap his fingers to save but man but trust in faith by the word of God.
MOSES teaches that “living water” comes from JESUS ( the 2 rock splitting stories. I myself have read these stories as Moses was tempted; the “Spiritual glasses” reveal Moses is the type of Yahweh prophesied coming to be tempted. The lower priest. Moses, fails the temptation. However, the higher priests, Messiah DOES NOT!- LOOK at the meaning of Messah- testing.).
MOSES teaches that “bread is the living substance for eternal living”!
MOSES teaches that idolatry of false gods is DENYING THE MESSAH (not the Meriahbah God who supplies bitter deadly water), NOT the MHO SUPPLIED THE BREAD AND WATER!
