Matthew 4:8-11 KJV
8 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;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 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.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

How do we define God creation and God's instruction to build versa the buildings of the enemy or claim of the enemy. We live in town and cities that one day each area that once was thought to be a noble part of town, or good section turns into a place of proverty. It can take time for one side of town to change positions in the world we are now in, but eventually the good homes will turn to a place of destruction. We look at the skyline of our cities and love the beauty of the sunset in the background, only to know there area of that city less becoming of human rights and laws. The machine guns in the streets, to the simple handgun, along with the butcher knife, that causes destruction of not only youth but adults as well. The drunks, the harlots, and selling of drugs, only a part of the problem. The soul is the problem, the soul of man sold out to live for the devil and not his power to change to do the will of God.

Devil take Jesus up to a high mountain to show him not the drunks, prostitutes, and druggies. He show Jesus the skyline of the city. Say you can have these cities if you bow to me. Meaning you got to bow to my authority. Now we know for Christ to go to the cross, he had to do so by man's laws, yet we know he went by the will of God not the will of the devil. The devil thought he won, til up from the grave Christ arose, being recycled for the Lord. Christ did not rise into corruptible body but into incorruptible body.

The cities in some parts of the world are litter with idols of their different religions and culture. I not talking about a statue that reminds people of the work of a legend did, I talking about idol where someone bows and pays sacrifices to in someway. I not talk about the entry door of the temple and later church where offering given to help not only the church, but the people around the area and beyond there area. I talking about the people that are bowing to the ways of Satan and the life style of the devil.

Devil thinks he glorious and should reign, but he has no power but what God allows. Jesus tells the old devil he only going to serve God alone. Interesting the devil thinks he can control God's word, can cause his word to serve him. God did not create his creation to serve man, or the devil. God created man to be equal in equality to each other, and to obey his laws of love. He created man to worship him in his glory, not the devil's glory. Everything the devil uses to create his dominion has elements of God's original creation, being use not in the way God intended. Devil can not give you the sunset that makes the view of the dark city beautiful, nor can the blue sky in the day time make the city anymore inviting. What you can not see is what the devil has created in the areas of forgotten streets because destruction is coming to buildings as they begin to crumble, the fences that are rusting, or the bridges that are falling. The people not turning to God to change their world but change to the mighty dollar of the rich man that will buys them out to destroy and create new.

Devil can not give you something that is not his. The devil does not control the city, even when the drugs, the prostitution and alcoholics reach the top of the government. God is going to tear out what Satan is using to destroy mankind. He going to tear out the rubbish in the streets and make things new again.

God turns man over to his wickness, and devil as well because he knows eventually it will destroy itself, leaving only the things of God. That is God intent and purpose. The oil in the ocean shorelines will one day recreate a new foundation of land, if given enough time, but until the process is over it one smelly stinky mess.

Satan had Jesus high on that mountain and called him to bow at his word, he trying to change the image of God's word to do the thing he desire. He using the purest form of God's word, which is in image of man to try and enforce it to bow to him. Jesus said I will only bow to God. God's word can not change who it bows too. It can only bow to God alone and do the will of God. Man and devils word will bow to a time to its own desire to only face destruction. If man bows to the word of God, he will follow in the will of God's own word for its life.

As man looks at the stars and know some have been destroyed, we also know new stars appear in the solar system. Where there was once light is now new again. Was it the pocket of gas, that place where the star belong that created a new star. Why then can we be blind, that devil can only see the glory of the Lord and desire it to be his, but he can not recreate it or recycle it into some new, because God has claim on it to recycle for his glory. After all devil is only trying to make nuclear weapon changing the elements designed by God and turning them backwards into a format not of God's plan that when it shoots, it only course is destruction that repeats until it can not longer destroy.

Dear Heavenly Father, you are the great I am, the Creator of all living things that the devil takes and does his best to destroy, yet the earth was made for decay to be born a new again one day. God remind us you are the best Recycler on the planet, that the devil only turns your word into a lie or twist it to cause destruction. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Romans 1:17-25 KJV
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
