POWER OF THE WORD

Matthew 4: 3

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

IF??????

Satan knew that JESUS was the Son of GOD, he knew JESUS before JESUS came in the flesh. JESUS said that He watched Satan and his angels expelled from heaven, so why did Satan say "if thou be the Son of GOD"? 

The enemy will try to through doubt into your mind about who you are and to Whom you belong. JESUS was physically hungry, therefore, He was weak in the flesh; Satan tried to inflict doubt in JESUS. This tactic had worked in the Garden of Eden when the serpent inflicted doubt in Eve; but Eve was not the only begotten Son of GOD. 

JESUS knew who He was, His mission on earth, and His status as GOD. JESUS was very man and very GOD - Human and Divine. JESUS suffered as a human being and suffered as the Divine One; but He never doubted either.

When the enemy comes to us and tries to inflict doubt in our mind about who we are and to Whom we belong, we have a word for him; "I Am a child of GOD, joint heir with Christ and redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb" "I have been bought with the price of the Blood of JESUS and am saved."
