Luke 20:25 Render Unto Ceaser

Mar 1:11 ASV - And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Mar 1:12 ASV - And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him.  Forty  Greek: tessarakonta Forty:
is used in circumstances in Scripture which indicate the number as suggesting probation, separation or judgment, e.g., Mat 4:2; Act 1:3; Hbr 3:9, 17.

Greek: therion  Beast:       metaph. a brutal, bestial man, savage, ferocious to be distinguished from zoon, almost invariably denotes "a wild beast." In Act 28:4, "venomous beast" is used of the viper which fastened on Paul's hand. Zoon stresses the vital element, therion the bestial. The idea of a "beast" of prey is not always present. Once, in Hbr 12:20, it is used of the animals in the camp of Israel, such, e.g., as were appointed for sacrifice: But in the Sept. therion is never used of sacrificial animals; 

Luk 4:1 ASV - And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness  The moment Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit he went into a wilderness  . A place of trials and of testing .
Luk 4:2 ASV - during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.
After forty days of no water and no food the body begins to die quickly.  Jesus was at the weakest point of his life , there is a truth here to see although he was weak in his flesh ,  at that point he over came the devil and his demons with the word of God . For every temptation from the devil Jesus spoke it is written ,  and  he use the written word of God and satan could not stand against him.  
Luk 4:3 ASV - And the devil said unto him, if thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.
Luk 4:4 ASV - And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.
Luk 4:5 ASV - And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.  Satan said he owns this earth and all the evil there of . Jesus told Pilate my kingdom is not of this earth .
Luk 4:7 ASV - If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.
Luk 4:8 ASV - And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

Just setting hear and reading , I am persuaded that the world is getting darker and some people do not see the spiritual darkness coming . The darkness is not the light of the sun , It is the evil coming upon the earth . Although God told Moses to lift his rod and proclaim a darkness over Egypt that could be Felt ! they could even breath this darkness into their nostrils God called this a curse ,  and in Duet 28-15 God will bring curses again to the unbeliever to the evil in heart .  We are Abraham's off spring through Christ Jesus we are all Israel according to the covenant God gave to them that believe .  Listen Jesus fulfilled the Law it was not done away with !  it was fulfilled .  And the curse of the Law was through sin .  Jesus is the new Law of grace and mercy , the old law is still in force and working against those that try to live it . Rom 13:10 ASV - Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Tit 1:15 ASV - To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Tit 1:16 ASV - They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

We must not get caught up in this worldly lie of restoration to the flesh , all things being restored as to worldly living taking America back making America great again . It is easy to do ! we want only the best for our children and our families.  It is something we have been doing all our life's until ! Jesus came into our life .  And in all his words has gave us, he constantly spoke about your cross and dying to self .     And Rom 12:1&2 talks about surrendering our flesh completely to the word of his cross. Being born again  by the renewing of your mind Gods word is what renews us and we are born again into his kingdom .    Judgement is coming and nothing man can do will stop it.   I am watching this election news going on and it is like a county fair with lots of lights and excitement . God will not restore this world it is condemned to burn , Jesus came to reconcile you back to the father .  1Co 1:30 ASV - But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:   Jesus came to show us the father and his love for us.   Jesus is something you can and will be , he was the plan of God he was the very image of God on this earth .  And there is a cross for every man to bear , this old Adamic life we were born into with has to come to an end .   Jhn 1:11 ASV - He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: The power of his name all that Jesus was and is that is what we must become ! unless a seed fall into the ground and die , it cannot bear fruit .
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  This is where the cruse of the law of sin and death was fulfilled in us , we die to self on our cross just as Jesus died and lose this carnal mind,  and we become a new creature a born again believer
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
If Christ is in you and he abides lives in you than his word has become flesh in you .


 we must be sober and quite before the Lord in the days to come he is speaking and it is in a still small voice to his children.  1 kings 19:12  Your not going to hear the Lords voice living in your flesh  , it is spiritual and it is his spirit in you speaking . You must be born again filled with the Holy Spirit just as in the book of Acts 2 the promise Jesus spoke of to every one that believes power from on high
There are Godly voices speaking in the world today,  God is warning his people to watch and be vigilant . He not only hastens to perform his word over his people with protection and safety , but his prophecies of old are sure and will come to pass . We have Matt 24 and Jesus has told us all of what is coming , and we have had all this time to prepare .

 Expecting a new restored government is not Gods word ,  Revelations says that Babylon will burn in one hour.
Rev 18:16 ASV - saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!
Rev 18:17 ASV - for in an hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any wither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 ASV - and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?  Could this city be your city or nation what city is capable of being this powerful an overwhelming city in the world today .  The most powerful nation on this earth


Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him.   The wild beast here is men with bestial minds perverted in every way.  Therion in the Greek is men bestial men
Luk 4:5 ASV - And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 ASV - And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 
Satan says to Jesus I own this earth and all that is of it , I used the word OF because Gods children still inhabit this earth but they are not OF this earth but every thing of this earth satan is the owner . Rom 12:2  AMP  And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].  I ask the Lord one day how is it that I can renew my mind as this word says . He spoke to me in my mind and said by my word by my word.  Now if we go to Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.  Gods word is the new birth it has the power to being Gods life through his spirit into our hearts and renew our minds our carnal way of thinking . And therefore we put on the mind of Christ

We are in this world but not of it any longer , Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world ,if my kingdom was of this world than would my servants fight . I want to say that fighting the government as some preach is not what Jesus said . He said to love your enemy do good to them not to kill them . Jesus told Pilate he could call for twelve legions of angels to come and deliver him
Mat 26:53 ASV - Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?  Mat 26:54 ASV - How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?   Jesus is saying I came here to die to fulfill the scriptures ,      and we two must die to our old man our carnal nature .  Jesus died in his flesh as a perfect sinless sacrifice and we die in the spirit to receive the benefit of his blood shed for us  he is our Passover.  A legion is two thousand and Jesus said he could bring twenty four thousand , and only one will bind the devil in the end with a chain and cast him in the bottomless pit.

 It is all about the cross and its work in our fleshly life's . Rom's 6 says that a dead man can not sin.  Yes we can sin but the Power of sin has been abolished by the blood of Jesus .  Rom 8:2 ASV - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
1Co 15:56 ASV - The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
1Jo 1:6 ASV - If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:   If you have the Holy Spirit and are sinning you are in a very dangerous condition .
1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  The very breath you breath belongs to God you were bought with a price


1Th 5:2 ASV - For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 ASV - When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
1Th 5:4 ASV - But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:
1Th 5:5 ASV - for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;
1Th 5:6 ASV - so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 ASV - For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 ASV - But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 ASV - For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 ASV - who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
