Mouth of God

I was thinking about the power of God's spoken word and how important it is and should be in even our prayer life. "Mouth of God" came to me and I know the scripture that Yeshua (Jesus) spoke when He was tempted by Satan and we all have been in that position before, many of us binding Satan which is mentioned but with this it is God speaking it so more powerful to me. There was just this one verse with the exact phrase:

Matthew 4:4 (KJV) 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.

So I then read the full paragraph with Yeshua's words in red:

Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV) Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 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. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

We know that Yeshua (Jesus) did what He saw the Father do as stated in this verse:

John 5:19 (KJV) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

So to me Yeshua was doing what He saw the Father do and that was stating "it is written" to the devil is what was done. To me Yeshua was setting the example for us also to quote what Yeshua quoted to Satan. We desire the same outcome that the devil flee and ministering angels come to minister to us. So ponder these things.

Blessings to you
