The Power Of Jesus Over Evil

He is Coming This blog is about Christianity and the Second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ

Most of the religious life of Muslim has been spent in trying to protect herself and her loved ones from the influence of the evil spirits. These evil spirits are a real force in the world around her. Since her view of God has been that of a disinterested person who is far away, she will need help in understanding that Jesus is more powerful than the evil spirits. The evil spirits must obey His authority. The teacher will want to use this Bible study to show that Jesus overcame evil in His own life when He was tempted, and He overcame the evil in the lives of others. The new believer will learn that being tempted is not a sin.

In studying Mathew 4:1-11, try to get the student to recognize that temptation came when Jesus was in a difficult place. He was tired, hungry and alone. Help her to use this in identifying when she is most likely to be tempted by Satan. Satan attacked Jesus through several different domains. Knowing this should help the Christian be more alert to temptation coming from more than one direction. Satan will attempt the Christian just as he tempted Jesus. He will know and use the Christian’s personal weak areas and will tempt her during difficult circumstances. A Christian who has memorized Scripture would be “carrying her sword with her at all times” and would be able with the help of the Holy Spirit to use this Scripture in defeating Satan.
