[1567.88 --> 1570.76] Now it's not explicitly mentioned in our passage, |
[1571.48 --> 1573.20] But I think it's safe to assume |
[1573.20 --> 1577.68] That Jesus was not just hiking as He was doing His 40-day fasting. |
[1578.30 --> 1579.38] He was praying. |
[1579.38 --> 1583.34] He was abiding with His heavenly Father through prayer. |
[1584.14 --> 1586.16] Total dependence in Him. |
[1588.04 --> 1590.58] And these spiritual practices that are named, |
[1590.66 --> 1594.46] Among a whole bunch of other spiritual practices that we can do, |
[1595.30 --> 1599.08] These are not just some self-help methods just to get healthier. |
[1599.40 --> 1600.94] That's not the ultimate goal. |
[1601.92 --> 1603.90] See how even this truth can be twisted? |
[1604.40 --> 1607.10] If you're just wanting to end up being a healthier person, |
[1607.10 --> 1608.58] And that's the ultimate goal. |
[1609.24 --> 1610.12] Then at the end of the day, |
[1610.18 --> 1610.96] You might be thinking, |
[1611.14 --> 1612.18] Oh, I don't need God then. |
[1613.64 --> 1615.42] That's another twisting of the truth. |
[1615.86 --> 1619.14] But these habits of faith that we journey with, |
[1619.92 --> 1624.92] These are constant physical, mental, emotional, spiritual reminders |
[1624.92 --> 1627.18] That you belong to God. |
[1628.18 --> 1629.90] Reminders of your true identity. |
[1629.90 --> 1631.64] That you belong to Him. |
[1631.98 --> 1635.32] And that the devil's schemes and his lies and his temptations |
[1635.32 --> 1636.82] Are at the end of the day, |
[1637.02 --> 1638.06] They are pointless. |
[1638.46 --> 1639.36] They are powerless. |
[1642.06 --> 1644.64] So hope, abide with God, |
[1645.16 --> 1646.40] Through His word, |
[1646.84 --> 1647.74] With His people, |
[1647.88 --> 1648.68] And through prayer. |
[1650.68 --> 1653.96] For, and now I want to end by quoting Hebrews, |
[1653.96 --> 1657.40] For we do not have a high priest in Jesus, |
[1657.96 --> 1660.46] Who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, |
[1660.96 --> 1663.94] But we have one who has been tempted in every way, |
[1664.40 --> 1665.44] Just as we are. |
[1666.14 --> 1667.64] Yet, He did not sin. |
[1669.32 --> 1673.14] Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, |
[1673.82 --> 1677.24] So that we may receive mercy and find grace |
[1677.24 --> 1679.88] To help us in our time of need. |
[1680.88 --> 1681.32] Amen. |
[1682.10 --> 1682.58] Amen. |
[1682.58 --> 1683.22] Let's pray. |
[1693.62 --> 1694.44] Loving Father, |
[1694.56 --> 1695.62] We come before You |
[1695.62 --> 1698.20] In humility and independence, |
[1698.84 --> 1700.06] Because Lord, |
[1700.68 --> 1703.02] We can only face our trials, |
[1703.16 --> 1704.02] Our temptations, |
[1704.38 --> 1705.84] And we can only resist them |
[1705.84 --> 1707.94] By the power You allow us to have. |
[1707.94 --> 1712.52] So just as we prayed in our prayers of confession, |
[1712.98 --> 1715.68] Just as we have sung in our worship, |
[1716.82 --> 1718.22] Lord, we need You. |
[1719.36 --> 1720.82] We need Your love, |
[1720.88 --> 1722.08] And we need Your power |
[1722.08 --> 1724.04] To guide us, |
[1724.86 --> 1727.60] And to empower us through our everyday journeys |
[1727.60 --> 1728.42] As Your children. |
[1728.42 --> 1734.32] So I pray over all the temptations and addictions and brokenness over our lives, |
[1734.56 --> 1737.84] And that by the power You grant us in Your name, |
[1738.36 --> 1740.26] We would be able to face them, |
[1740.52 --> 1741.32] And resist them, |
[1741.38 --> 1745.00] And overcome everything with the hope that we have in You. |
[1745.68 --> 1746.98] You are our confidence. |
[1747.48 --> 1748.90] You are our only hope. |
[1748.90 --> 1750.96] We come before You |
[1750.96 --> 1753.58] In needing, |
[1753.70 --> 1754.88] In desperate need |
[1754.88 --> 1756.26] For Your guidance. |
[1756.82 --> 1757.44] Once again. |
[1758.34 --> 1759.64] We thank You for the truth. |
[1759.98 --> 1761.48] We thank You for this good news. |
[1762.92 --> 1764.22] We thank You for Your love. |
[1764.44 --> 1765.42] In Jesus' name we pray. |
[1766.00 --> 1766.28] Amen. |
[1766.28 --> 1770.22] I invite you to stand as we sing our song response. |
[1770.22 --> 1770.70] Amen. |
[1770.70 --> 1800.68] Thank you. |
