From Eliyahu
Hello friends,
We know from Scripture that the devil tried to tempt Messiah.
"Then Yeshua was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil." - Matthew 4:1.
Without a doubt, if that could happen to Messiah it can happen to His followers.
Why is it then, that believers are often slow to recognize it when they are being tempted by the devil?
Answers to that question vary:
-
Some, although believing in the Creator, seem to doubt the existence of a real devil and demons, as described in Scripture.
-
Others simply don't believe the devil would be interested in tempting them.
-
Still others simply forget about the devil. Out of sight, out of mind.
Still others are fooled into ignoring the devil, naively thinking that somehow being a believer in Messiah exempts them from his attacks.
Whatever the reason, we cannot afford to overlook the reality of temptation by the devil. He and his demons are very real, and they are out to destroy BELIEVERS!
Listen to this apostolic advice:
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8-9
Yes, it is common throughout the world that our believing brothers and sisters are suffering due to the devil's attacks. He is like a ravenous lion and he is our "adversary." Simply put, he hates us and wants to destroy us - and he has a lot of helpers. That is why we must "withstand him" i.e. we must fight back and resist him, lest he devour us or someone we love.
Yes, the devil is real and he is the cause of much of the pain and suffering we experience in this world. We must understand this if we are to successfully overcome him.
But how can we fight back against a hostile invisible enemy with so much power to hurt us? The answer to that question is in Matthew 4, and other places, in the Scriptures.
In Matthew 4 Messiah faced down the devil and won.
Why is that account there, in Matthew?
It is there so we can learn from what Messiah did and overcome the devil the same way!
You need to know this, we all do, and that is why we are focusing on Matthew Chapter 4 tonight, online, at our Tsiyon meeting.
Partners, join us for our meeting tonight at 8 PM CST and learn how to kick the devil in the butt! Shouldn't he be the one made to suffer for a change?
Shalom, Eliyahu

Israel wildfires spread south. Arsonists nabbed
It was the first time that Palestinian terrorists had tried using a “weapon of mass destruction,” a former security chief commented.
Reprint: DEBKAfile Special Report November 25, 2016
As firefighters battled unrelenting wildfires for the fourth day - from the Galilee, through Haifa and up to the Jerusalem Hills - the first flames leapt up early Friday, Nov. 25, outside Kiryat Gath in the southern Lachish district.
In the Jerusalem Hills, the firefighting planes taking off at first light to extinguish the flames threatening Beit Meir spotted dark figures constantly rekindling fires when they were dampened. Police gave chase and captured two of the arsonists. The residents were evacuated when the fires hemming them in came under control.
Altogether 10 suspects are now in custody, three were caught on the loose in Galilee in possession of fire accelerants.
The disaster has claimed more than 100 people injured, most from smoke inhalation, but no fatalities, thanks mainly to the heroic efforts of the fully-stretched out firefighters and volunteers, many of whom have not slept for three nights.
Azerbaijan joined half a dozen countries sending planes to support Israel’s fleet of aerial fighters. The giant 747 Super-tanker which can carry 94,000 liters of water arrives from Colorado, US, Friday night. Thursday night, eight fire engines with teams, volunteered by the Palestinian Authority went into action over Haifa and the Jerusalem Hills.
More than 80,000 people in Haifa
and other stricken places spent another wretched night away from their blackened
homes and towns. Although the government promises financial aid as needed, and
offers pour in to put up the homeless in kibbutzim and the formerly
missile-stricken towns in the south, the refugees don’t know when they can go
back or, in many cases, rebuild their homes.
They were not comforted by the reassuring statements issued Thursday by Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Home Security Minister Gilead Erdan, from which
they could infer that the government was taken by surprise by the arson
offensive, which accounted for at least half of the outbreaks.
A controlling hand was almost certainly behind the individuals or groups who ignited and reignited hundreds of fires up and down the country. They exploited the exceptionally windy and dry weather to sow acres of charred destruction across Israel. But no warning of the impending disaster came from the Shin Bet domestic security service or Military Intelligence (AMAN).
One of the former Shin Bet heads, Israeli Hasson commented that this was the first time Palestinian extremists had used a “weapon of mass destruction.”
