I began in the last message, a series designed for help young and old alike, calling it you can win like Jesus.

In the last message, I told you that some people feel guilty when they are tempted.

You should not feel guilty when you are tempted.

Temptation is normal.

You should expect temptation. If you're a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ,

you will be tempted. Not possibly, you will be. Don't be surprised by it. Prepare for it.

I also told you that the threefold temptations of Jesus in the wilderness summarized and codifies all other

temptation known to mankind. All temptations that you and I have succumbed to or defeated,

they all codified in those three. Because the first temptation was designed to get Jesus to distrust his father's

provision and satisfy his own needs. The second temptation was to put God to the test and to

presume on the goodness of God. And the third temptation was to substitute the will of God the Father

for the will of Satan. And who of us, not me, certainly, can claim that we have never fallen

in every one of those three categories. At some point, at some point in our lives.

First, Satan did not want Jesus to rely on his father's power and on his father's provision.

Instead, he wanted to go for the shortcut, to take a shortcut.

Please, Himirata, in this one. These three temptations

can go under these three categories. It's temptation to pleasure, to popularity, and to power.

Write them down. These three are the root of all temptations that are known to you and me and every person around the world.

Now, I can testify to you as the Lord my witness.

Every defeat that I have ever experienced in my life, it was because I succumbed to one of

those three categories or subcategories.

Let me act like the tempter.
