“Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” Comment: The word temptation in the Greek can mean for either good or evil depending on who is doing the tempting! God tempts us to do good! That is to trust him in faith to deliver us from evil by his Word! Satan tempts us to do evil by trusting in our own works! So if God is tempting it is for our good but if Satan tempting it is for our destruction! So who is the source of temptation in verse 13? Satan! Deliver us from evil! The prayer is Lord stop the tempter and deliver us from him! Pope Francis wants to change this rendering to read” Do not let us fall into temptation.” We have to remember that Satan leads men into temptation to do evil! God tempts no man to do evil! James 1:13. We do not fall into temptation like an accident! We are led into temptation! God leads his flock and Satan leads his flock! I began my life by following Satan but now I follow Jesus! Our path is determined by who we follow! Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan in the Garden of Eden! They had to decide was it God or Satan who was telling the truth? Satan told Eve God was a liar! The same holds true for today! Jesus was tempted by Satan! Turn these stones into bread! Jump off the temple Mount his angels will catch you! Jesus countered Satan with the Word of God! It is written….. Satan is the same liar today in the 21st Century! God is the same God! The first temptation Satan will try on you is to not believe God’s word or your Holy Bible! Following Satan leads to sin! God has offered you forgiveness if you repent! The sins God opposes by his Word in the 21st Century are; Abortion, Evolution, homosexuality, transgenderism, Lesbianism, Atheism, drugs, murder, robbery, fornicators, adultery, divorce, pornography, gambling and the list goes on! If we do not believe God and his Word then these sins are not looked at as sins and Satan has deceived you with a lie! Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and the Emperor of Japan all followed Charles Darwin! They rejected Christ! Hitler believed he could speed up evolution by millions of years by getting rid of the undesirables on planet earth! Racism is promoted by rejecting Creation and embracing evolution! Normandy is full of graves because a few men in power rejected Christ! How you pray this prayer is not as important as understanding what you are praying! Remember God created your life and Satan wants to destroy it! To reject Christ is to open yourself to Satan and death! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
