Day 03 – Tested and Tempted
Day 3: “Tested and Tempted”
Forty Days in the Wilderness – A 40 Day Quiet Time Series
I. Matthew 3:16-4:11
- What happened to Jesus after his baptism?
- What should you expect after your baptism?
- List the ways Satan has tempted you since your baptism?
- What did Jesus use to fight Satan’s temptations?
- Read Psalm 119:11
- Satan’s goal is to get you to fall into sin. Satan tried to get Jesus to sin, but Jesus kept quoting Scripture to him. What is Psalm 119:11 instructing you to do and why?
II. Ephesians 6:10-17
- List some ways Satan may scheme against you?
- Many will persecute you because of your faith. Judging from verse 12, who is the battle really against? People or Satan’s spiritual forces?
- From verse 17, what is our “defense weapon” against Satan?
III. 1Timothy 4:1
- Another way Satan tempts us is by seducing us to accept things taught by demons. How can you protect yourself from falling into false teachings?
For Your Encouragement:
- Expect to be tempted and decide to be open about it. Talk with your mentor or a mature Christian today about your temptations and pray together.
- Study your Bible daily and store the word of God in your heart so that you will be able to recognize and expose Satan’s schemes. For starters, memorize Psalm 119:11.
