Jesus,

when facing the greatest temptations by Satan,

didn't need to say anything that wasn't already recorded in the Word.

We can have great assurance
       that the written Word of God
              is sufficient for us.

Jesus quoted the written Word of God each time Satan tempted Him, the same Word we have today.

When Jesus was tempted,

He could have said anything

and the devil would have had to go.

Since Jesus is the Word of God [John 1:1],
          anything He would have spoken would be the Word.

Jesus responded to Satan's temptations with "It is written".

The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit, Ephesians 6:17.

When the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, 
            it was so He could be tempted by the devil.

If we got saved by faith,

we can be healed, delivered, provided

and cared for by faith.

Since we have experienced the greatest miracle [salvation] in this life by the faith God has given us, we must not go back to thinking our needs are too big for our faith.



We know the faith God has given us works
       because we were born again by it.

We have underestimated our slave [faith].

We have thought we needed many slaves;

when the truth is, this slave is so powerful

  it can accomplish whatever we want of it.

The reason the disciples didn't see their faith work harder for them was because they hadn't demanded more from their faith.
