Fighting Temptation with the Sword of the Spirit

And when the tempter came to Him, he said, if Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

But He answered and said, “It is written, Man  shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:3-4, KJV
 

We must believe that if satan tried to tempt Jesus, he sure will try to tempt us. 

And as he comes to try to tempt us, we must know how to combat the temptation. What did Jesus do? With every attack that satan brought at Jesus, He countered it by the truth of God’s word. When satan comes at you, use the tool that God has given you. The sword of the Spirit, the word of God. Whatever satan comes at you with, counter it with for it is written. God has given us a word of defense for every attack. We need to be more familiar with the word. Just as a soldier would be familiar with his sword. A soldier knows what part of that sword is best utilized for a certain task. Know the word of God and use it to combat the attacks and temptation satan brings against you.
