Jesus Conquered the Lust of the Flesh

Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”4 But Jesus answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. 

Satan is not a creator of anything more less  an idea.  All of his tricks are from the same playbook of deception.  He came at eve with the same play.  Eve saw that it was good for food and would satisfy her cravings but God said no.  All our lusts are rooted in this, satisfy right now what makes you feel good in your flesh.  Jesus was hungry after His 40 day fasting and no doubt could have turned those hard rocks into soft biscuits.  That would mean cutting off fellowship with the Father and His provision for Jesus.  "You don't need to do things Gods way" satan often says.  The answer by Jesus is the only answer to our problems with lust, We cant live on satisfying our flesh but by every word of God.
Being a Christian, NOT QUITE 30 YEARS NOW, satan still attacks me this way.  Please your flesh.  Put off Gods will and word for you for another time.  The Spirit gives me strength and life but the flesh is weak and leads to death.  Please, let us follow our LORDS lead on this, and be 100% satisfied upon Gods word.  You wont regret it.
