Week 13 Satan the Tempter
From the day that you received Jesus Christ as Savior, you entered into spiritual warfare. Your enemy is the devil, and he will do everything in his power to make you a discouraged, doubting, defeated Christian. Be aware of his tricks and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for victory.
1. Circle key words and phrases in the following Scriptures.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.
LUKE 22:31–32
*Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from

===================
Extra Bible study:
For thoughs who think God is female, maybe we are feminine to him male and female.
Q: Why does the Bible refer to God in masculine terms?
A: The answer to the question about why God is referred to with masculine terms in the Bible really has only one answer: This is the way God has chosen to reveal Himself to us. God is never described with sexual characteristics in the Scriptures, but He does consistently describe Himself in the masculine gender. While He contains all the qualities of both male and female genders, He has chosen to present Himself with an emphasis on masculine qualities of fatherhood, protection, direction, strength, etc. Metaphors used to describe Him in the Bible include: King, Father, Judge, Husband, Master, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There are those who would like to blur this emphasis in some of the newer Bible translations, but it is very dangerous to tamper with the way God has chosen to reveal Himself. He most certainly does not intend to minimize women, since men and women are revealed as made in His image and of equal value to Him. But it remains that He is Father, not Mother, and even in the Incarnation chose to come to us as a man, Jesus Christ. One famous Christian scholar, C. S. Lewis, has suggested that gender is far deeper than our human distinctions reveal. He suggests that God is so masculine that we all are feminine in relation to Him. If this is true, it might explain why the church is referred to as the bride of Christ, though it is composed of both men and women.

RBHILL.
Do tell me, what sense can be applied to the proposition that Jesus loves Tsunami victims?
The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust. So just like it can have a Tsunami on the just and unjust.
Edit: He loves everyone because He died for all even when He didn't have to Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Be aware of his tricks
I know that in general, his strategy is temptation and deceit, but does he have more specific tactics that I need to keep an eye out for? I know that offering forbidden fruit is one, so I'll be sure to ask for guidance before chomping into my next apple. Can you give me some other specific tricks that he uses?
