One of the games that Satan played with Me when I was being tempted by him in the wilderness was the "What if? Game." He first addressed Me with this statement, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread." When he took Me to the pinnacle of the Temple, he said, "If You are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here."
Satan was using the technique that he used with Adam and Eve. Remember Satan said to Eve, "Has God said you shall not eat of every tree in the garden?" Satan was trying to get her to doubt what God had said.
Doubt is the first attack of Satan. If he can get you to doubt My Word, he then brings on the second attack which is fear. Do not be ignorant of his devices. Never allow doubt or fear to rule over you. Speak My Word that says, "I will trust in the LORD and not be afraid" David wrote, "What time I am afraid, I will trust in You (Psalm 56:3)."
LUKE 4:3, 9; GENESIS 3:1
