And Jesus being
full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of
the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he
afterward hungered. Luke 4:1-2
Jesus was
tempted BUT He was filled with the Holy Spirit. His temptation was for forty
(40) days. Imagine forty days without a break of constant bombardment from
Satan. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and resist the devil like
Jesus did. Know the scriptures and be ready.

Know
the enemy.
Be sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour: 1Peter
5:8

Get
ready for the battle.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And
your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:10-18
Temptation
will come but Jesus is the overcomer.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I
have overcome the world. John 16:33
