As you go throughout the week reflect on these takeaways:

- Satan will always attack your identity and prey on your impulses, just as he did with Jesus. He wants you to question who God says you are and act on immediate desires rather than eternal purposes.

- The enemy uses time and impulses against you to question God's goodness and your identity. Any gift that pulls you away from God is not from God—Satan's gifts always have spiritual strings attached.

- We win spiritual battles through relying on the Spirit of God, speaking the word of God, staying in the community of God, and trusting in the word and work of God. Jesus quoted Scripture three times when tempted, showing us that the sword of the Spirit is our primary weapon in spiritual warfare.
