Temptation vs Testing: What’s Really Happening in Your Wilderness?

There’s a divine difference between temptation and testing—one is meant to destroy you, the other to develop you. In this message, we walk through Luke 4 and Mark 1 to uncover the power, purpose, and process behind Jesus’ wilderness experience.

Before He preached a single sermon, Jesus was driven by the Spirit into the wilderness. Why? Because spiritual authority is formed in private before it’s released in public.

In this teaching, you’ll learn:

• Why the Spirit sometimes leads you into hard places.

• How to tell the difference between a temptation from the enemy and a test from God.

• The 3 strategies Satan uses—and how Jesus resisted every one.

• The key to walking out of your own wilderness with power.

We’ll also break down the original Greek, highlight key scriptures like Deuteronomy 8 and Luke 4, and give you practical steps to follow the way of Jesus in your own life.

🎯 Whether you’re in a spiritual battle or preparing for one, this message will help you discern, fight wisely, and grow in obedience.

Final reminder: You don’t win in public unless you’ve first been faithful in private.

Before Jesus ever preached a sermon, worked a miracle, or cast out a demon—He stepped into the water.

Not for sin.

Not for show.

But to fulfill all righteousness.

This episode takes you deep into the baptism of Jesus and the bold testimony of John the Baptist. Why did the sinless Son of God submit to a baptism of repentance? What does it mean to “Behold the Lamb of God”? And why does your obedience precede your influence?

In this episode:

• Why Jesus’ baptism was a prophetic act of repentance-identification

• The 4 things Jesus did before He preached: Baptized. Affirmed. Filled. Tested.

• What it means to live from the Father’s affirmation, not for it

• How baptism declares: “I belong to Jesus now—and my past is buried.”

• Why you can’t just admire Jesus… you must imitate Him

BEHOLD. The Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

FOLLOW. His rhythm of surrender, not your own ambition.

REPENT. Because your new beginning starts in the water.

AXIOMS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• “Before Jesus picked up a mic, He picked up submission.”

• “Repentance is not rejection—it’s your reintroduction to God’s rhythm.”

• “The baptism of Jesus was not about His need to repent—it was about His resolve to obey.”

• “Beholding the Lamb begins when you bury your pride.”
