After Jesus' Baptism, He was taken by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness. Satan tempted Jesus three ways: physical (hunger), Pride (testing God) and Possessions (all these things). First Satan challenged Jesus, "If you are the Son of God." We can expect to be tempted in much the same ways. And it is important to realize that Satan will indeed challenge us - "If you are truly a Christian" or "Do you really think you can make a difference?" or "Has God really promised?"
Don't be surprised that as you make strides in your walk with Christ, that Satan will rise up and challenge you. When that happens, look to Christ and what He modeled for us - turn to Scripture. Remember, when you resist Satan, he will flee.
