Key Scripture Reference

The phrase “man cannot live on bread alone” is found in the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew. This verse emphasizes the importance of spiritual nourishment alongside physical sustenance.

Matthew 4:4

TRANSLATIONVERSE TEXTNew International Version”Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”English Standard Version”But he answered, ‘It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”New Living Translation”But Jesus told him, ‘No! The Scriptures say, People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”King James Version”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.'”

Context of the Verse

This verse is part of the account of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. After fasting for 40 days, Jesus was tempted by Satan to turn stones into bread. His response highlights that spiritual sustenance is as vital as physical food.

Therapy………..or Gods Spoken Words?

Gods Word speaks into our life, for Both our Mental and Spiritual Health.  

I pray Lord, that we choose Wisely, each and every day, every hour, and every minute!  Your WORDS ARE LIFE.  May we All Choose Life!   

God Loves us, so much, he sent Jesus, the God Man, to become flesh, so that we might live abundantly, both now, and forevermore.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Just as Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, by twisting the word of God, so shall he try to do to us, who follow Jesus. We must speak Gods truth to each other, and not worldly wisdom, which will lead us down a path of destruction. What will you choose, Life or Death? Choose Life! This world is not our eternal home.

Yes Lord, our courage comes from waiting and trusting in you. Whatever giants we might face today, we must wait, and allow you to go before us. For all that are weak, May they find their strength in you. May they find encouragement in the body of Christ.

God is pleased with you when you trust in Jesus. Imagine, the God of the Universe, is pleased to have you trust in him, just as a son or daughter, trusts in his father. Emanuel, Jesus, Messiah, GOD WTH US.

Judgement was coming to the people, if they didn’t change their ways. Self-righteous doesn’t work. A changed heart, brings forth what is necessary. The fruit in the picture, is what flows from it. It is God, who must change the heart.

Just as God chose Jesus, he chose us before the foundations of the earth. May we follow Jesus lead, and may the Father be well pleased in our service, and our proclaiming the Good News to both Jew and Gentile.

If you are the center of your own universe, ie you worship yourself, how will you ever, find the one true God. If this is you, Jesus, is the only way to finding God! Praying your eyes will be opened to this truth, just as ours were opened when WE were blind. Thank you all, who follow me, and listen to what the Lord puts on my heart to share. You are a blessing to me, and encouragement.

A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.

Beware of the legalism, that can so easily come upon us. God wants a changed heart, that compels us from within, to honor God, not some self righteous, me oriented, do good mentality that checks a box off. Jesus as God, showed us the Love, compassion and devotion to the Father, that he deserves, and we should desire. Thank you Jesus, for giving us your spirit, to help, and guide us, in our path.
