    Do you test God or trust God? What are the ways we try to control God in order to get our way?

    To understand how the devil is tempting Jesus here in this second temptation, we first need an accurate picture of Jerusalem.

    We have the amazing opportunity to fall head over heals in love with God, and in loving Him to overflow with “the fullness of God.” How can we love God, let alone experience His fullness in our lives except that we get to know God—as Father, Son and Holy

    If Your Presence Does Not Go With Us, Do Not Bring Us Up From Here

    based on 9 ratings
     | 47,390 views

    We haven’t fully experienced God’s presence in our life because we haven’t been actively seeking it. In other words, we only seek God’s presence when we find ourselves in tight spots, or when we want something. Why do we act this way?

    A great truth about life is that at times things that happen can hold us back. In other words, sometimes we experience situations, or we have to go through circumstances that weaken and/or discourage us. Sometimes we have to go through situations that rob our peace, and attempt to make us lose ...read more
