Jesus…On How To Fight The Devil In Your Wilderness
April 26, 2025
MB: Although this battle I’m about to share is in no way as severe as what Jesus went through when He faced the Devil in the wilderness before His ministry, I thought it might help others whom I know are having these same battles. I thought if I share these experiences now, it may help those out there that have also made it their life’s calling to withdraw into the wilderness (cave) for this last hour of history as we know it.
We are not trying to run away from reality; on the contrary, we are facing the impossible square on. The Word of God assures us that no politics, no earthly leader, no scheme or army could ever make things right at this late hour in man’s bloody and cold-hearted history. The love of many has surely grown cold, and the only One that can bring peace and sanity out of the chaos man has created is Jesus.
He has vowed that His return is imminent, and that the only way His return can be accomplished is through the fervent application of the Seven Thunders. Jesus has shown us through prophecy that our days in this wilderness of Revelation 12 are comparable to the 40 days He spent in the Wilderness before His ministry began. Lately I’ve been waking up in the night or early in the morning and am immediately thrown into great fear and doubt about what I’m doing in this wilderness.
Feelings of overwhelming loneliness besiege my thoughts. I hear voices saying…“What am I doing this for? Am I insane? Have I taken my family to the brink of madness?” Terrible thoughts of utter fruitlessness engulf me as the enemy tells me that I am wasting my life and the lives of those with me. As I said, I know of others having similar attacks of doubts, so they relate to what I’m trying to express here. I could say that at times it feels like I’m going mad.
Of course Jesus understands exactly what I’m going through because He experienced the same. Here’s what He had to say about His time in the wilderness fighting the enemy. I say fighting the enemy because that is exactly what it is. The Tempter comes in like a flood, like a huge wave that threatens to swamp my boat. The following excerpt is taken from “The Intimate Details on My Life” (PDF), the link will take you to a very beautiful illustrated copy of the publication on MB blog site.
Jesus speaking: I experienced betrayal by loved ones and even family. I too experienced difficulty with living conditions and even with My closest team of friends and co-workers. I too was tempted with the tests and battles and lies of the Enemy. I too faced the challenges of need for supply for Myself and those who followed Me. I encountered the same measure of difficulties and troubles and sufferings that you, My beloved brides‚ do now.
I was broken, just as you are breaking now. There are many shattered pieces of My life–shattered pieces of hard experiences, of difficulties, of trials, of sufferings, of temptations, of sorrow and tears–which My Father transformed within His hands into a marvelous and breathtaking display of hope‚ courage, faith, and utmost love.
Let the window of My life be an encouragement to you. Let it lift your hearts and bring hope to your spirits to see that I have gone before you and I have filled My life with the very emotions and feelings and difficulties you encounter. If I could make it, My love, so can you. If I could endure, so can you. For I am in you, and though in this world you will have tribulation, be of good cheer–I have overcome the world! (John 16:33).
You know that I was touched with the feeling of your infirmities‚ and was in all points tempted as you are (Hebrews 4:15). Let Me tell you about My experience with a near mental collapse when I was a young man on Earth. I experienced the torment of the Enemy’s voice. I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and not in control of self. The Enemy tried to kill Me, not only mentally, but he tried to kill My body by tempting Me to jump off a mountain.
I suffered mental exhaustion almost to the point of collapse. I not only wanted to please My Father in Heaven, but I wanted to be a good son to My earthly parents, a good brother, a good friend, a good example, a good everything. I was driven in My fleshly mind by a sense of responsibility.
I knew the power wasn’t in Me, that it had to come from God‚ My Father, but I struggled with My human mind at times and with the attacks of the Enemy. I had to learn to fight him and fight the temptation to lean to My Own understanding. I was the Enemy’s main target and he tried everything he could think of to get Me to give up My crown and yield to him.
When people today read about how the Devil tempted Me in the Bible, they assume because I was the Son of God and I had all power, I could just lift My little finger and destroy the attacks of the Enemy, but they don’t stop to remember that I was also a man.
I had to learn to fight the Enemy as a man, like you, using the weapons of the spirit that I had-prayer, the keys, calling on the help of My Father and spirit helpers, rebuking the Enemy and his demons and quoting the Word. I learned that when I fought in the spirit I would win.
Sometimes the Enemy’s attacks would frighten Me so much that I thought I was going insane. Here I was, the Son of God, so why was I having such a spiritual battle? What was wrong with Me? Where was My power? Those were the times I experienced fear in My human mind, fear that I was sinking, fear that rescue wouldn’t come, fear that My Father would not save Me.
I had to learn to overcome human fear, to depend on the Spirit and the Word of My Father. I had to learn, like all men of faith, to stand on the Word and not allow the Devil to steal away My faith in My Father’s promises. The Word and the weapons of the spirit were My source of strength and overcoming, and they will be yours, too.
As long as I looked at Myself in the flesh, as long as I tried to fight My way out of the attacks of the Enemy with My Own two hands, I felt I was only sinking deeper. But as soon as I started fighting in the spirit with My spiritual weapons-calling on the keys, asking My spirit helpers to come to My rescue, and fighting in prayer and praise, (the Seven Thunders) the Enemy had to leave Me alone.
Then My angels would come and minister to Me. They’d come to encourage Me on behalf of My Father. They’d bring Me His message of encouragement; they’d tell Me He was proud of Me for fighting. They’d lift up My face and kiss My tears away and encourage Me to keep going.
I had to continually make choices. I was tempted, I was buffeted, and I had to make choices whether to fight on or not. I had to decide if I was going to hold on or give up. The choice was Mine whether to give in to discouragement, to doubts, to fears, or to murmuring.
Even though I knew all the glories of Heaven, I, too, was tempted time and again to give in to peer pressure or to compare Myself with others. I was tested on My obedience, on My yieldedness, on My faithfulness in even the littlest things. I had to choose to love.
I was tested on My love and how I was going to love. I had to choose to forsake all, and I had to keep forsaking all. I had to choose if I was willing to share those closest to Me with others. I had to decide whether I was going to share love or live selfishly.
I was tempted and I had to make choices. When the Devil took Me up to a high mountain to show Me all the kingdoms of the world, I had to make difficult choices. I had to decide if I was going to live a worldly life, or live for Heaven. I was tempted, and the fight was long and hard!
Finally, I had to make the hardest choice of all—the choice of whether or not I wanted to die for you. But I made the right choice, and I have never regretted it! I have never been sorry, because you are the fruit of My right choices. You, My precious Bride, are worth every bit of it! Because I made the right choices, here you are in My arms today!
I had many decisions to make along the way as far as what I could partake of and what I couldn’t, if I wanted to follow the path that My Father had chosen for Me to walk. It wasn’t always easy to forgo those things that appeared to be fun or even innocent so that I would continue to walk the straight and narrow path of My Father’s highest will.
Many of the things of the world–such as pursuing extra worldly knowledge or trying to obtain riches–would have weakened My resolve to follow My Father’s path, so I chose to eschew them. I chose to forgo them‚ because I knew that with each step I took to walk closely and follow His path, that of His highest will,
I was one step closer to fulfilling My destiny and the reason for My coming to Earth, that of redeeming mankind. With each step of obedience that I took‚ I was infused with the conviction to walk the straight and narrow path of My Father’s will for Me–and, as such‚ fulfill My destiny.
I was tempted at times, thinking if only My Father would send legions of angels to correct the problems, I could go Home and get on with other things and not be bothered. “If only I could leave the task to others” was a temptation I had to fight. But My Father had called Me, and leaving the task to others was not My Father’s will.
I had been groomed and called for My task from the beginning. Had I not obeyed My call, I would have missed the victories of Heaven. I would have missed the mark. I would have missed saving you. All My preparation and training would have been wasted, and everything would have been different. (End)
“I have called you, My children, to a task no less daunting than Mine, so it behooves you to spend more time in prayer, on your knees, seeking My will, imploring Me to work on your behalf–to keep your mind on the bigger picture, the greater works that I would accomplish through you.”
Prophecy excerpt taken from “Extra Drop of Blood” (PDF): “I constrained My disciples to go out onto the sea that night because their hearts were not fully Mine. Yes, they loved Me as their Master and because of the miracles that I did.
But what is the point of being up on the mountain praying with Me if you don’t believe, if doubt still lingers in your heart? You can pray, yet if belief and faith are not present then your prayers are weak and ineffective. My beloved brides, the hour of darkness is upon the world.
My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch and pray with Me for this last hour. Do not countenance doubt as your partner.” (Matthew 14:22-25)
Prophecy: I not only need warriors (disciples) but what I truly desire in this last night are My brides by My side. I need those that are fully and completely Mine, those that have committed themselves as lovers; those that will stand beside Me even if it means their death; if not their physical death, they must be prepared to die every day to themselves and their desires so that this mission and their destiny is accomplished.
Yes, this mission is no less daunting than My own; so of course the dark one will furiously attack you. You are in your wilderness as I was in My wilderness with those monsters of doubt, discouragement and despair. (end of prophecy excerpt)
“Come, let Me tell you of My fight. When I was out there in the wilderness all that time, it was a battle royal with the Evil One. All Hell was let loose on Me. Satan fought with every evil thing, and every thought, and every evil doubt he could find to hurl at Me, to try to get Me to give up. He tried absolutely every single one in the book.
I battled as I was buffeted about with giants of doubt flying overhead! Yes, the Tempter came to Me in the wilderness–the wilderness of My mind–and he let loose all his wild beasts of doubts! Monsters surrounded Me on every side, in an attempt to devour and destroy Me.
There were vicious attacks on every side. I was tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts out there in the wilderness. These were the beasts I had to fight off. These were the beasts I had to rebuke. These were the beasts I had to gain victory over–the beasts of doubts!
First it started out subtly, and I didn’t even realize they were doubts, these beasts that surrounded Me. They seemed harmless, but then as he tried to lure Me, as Satan tempted Me, I saw the potential; I saw where these doubts could lead, should I accept them.
I saw they would only grow. I saw that if I would have accepted them, they would only have grown into wild beasts–wild beasts of doubts that would have devoured and destroyed Me. So I fought! I fought and I battled and tried to ward them off. I fought long and I fought hard and My strength grew weak.
I had not fallen, but I was growing weak, because I was being buffeted about on every side. It was My testing time, and the Tempter was let loose upon Me. Then I realized that I could no longer fight on in My human strength.
I realized that I had to have a greater power to win this victory. I had not given in. I had not bade them stay with Me. I did not want to accept these beasts of doubts. But in My flesh, I could not muster up the strength to fight on.
Yes, I was tempted in all points just like you, yet without sin. Without sin, because I did not give in, I did not give up. Without sin, because although the doubts and discouragement and despair were hitting Me from every side, I did not accept them. I was tempted to, but I did not accept them.” “The Intimate Details on My Life” (PDF)
Prophecy continues: As I fought off the relentless attacks of the Devil in My wilderness, so are you in a battle royal with the enemy in your wilderness. You are alone as I was alone, and yes, you must fight on with everything that is within you, and yet your own strength will not be enough. You will not win if you do not call on Me and your spirit helpers to fight with you.
This is the enemy’s last-ditch attempt to change the path your prayers have driven him on. He is in the tunnel of the End, and there is no escape. Your enemy is desperate, insane and in great wrath as he sees the flames of his end drawing nearer.
He must defeat you, either physically, spiritually or both. That is why he attacks you in your mind, for I have hedged great and mighty angels around your city of light. He has made a number of failed physical attacks, now he has been given permission to attack your minds with doubts, discouragement and despair.
He uses those within your own ranks to dissuade you, to get you wondering if you are indeed doing the right thing: giving your life to such a dubious venture as sitting in your cave praying for people and situations that you know little to nothing about. He tempts you with thoughts of giving up the fight by telling you that it is not even your fight, that this should be someone else’s responsibility.
He tells you that you could easily slip away and no one would know or even miss you. He whispers in your ear that this is not some great crusade you are on, that prayer is just some hopeless exercise that isn’t really moving anything let alone changing the course of history for eternity. The Devil is using the same tactics on you as he used on Me. (end of excerpt)
“I didn’t know how long I was going to be there in the wilderness. I was given no time frame, nor was I told, “You will only be there 40 days, and at the very end of that time, when You are at Your weakest and faint from hunger, the Devil is really going to lay into You and try You and tempt You in order to test
Your limits and completely break You. But don’t worry, if You can withstand at that point, You will come out the victor.” Had I known that, My desert sojourn would not have been the test My Father intended it to be. It would not have succeeded in testing Me to My limits and breaking Me to the point that I was totally and utterly desperate and at the end of My rope, and the victory would not have been as triumphant.
Every moment of every day that I spent there in that desert place I was badgered and hounded by the Enemy. He was relentless and he didn’t give up taunting Me. It seemed as if it’d never end. I knew in My heart that eventually it had to, because I knew My destiny was not to die in the desert. But nevertheless, the time I spent there felt like an eternity, because I didn’t know when it would be up and I would be delivered.
Had I known exactly when and how it would end, I would not have been as desperate. I would have been counting the days until My deliverance and biding My time, waiting for it all to end. I probably wouldn’t have been as relentless in My counterattacks on the Devil.
I needed that time of testing to develop a perfect hatred for him, and to learn his tactics. I needed to know how it felt as a human to be badgered by the Enemy. As you see, My Father, in His wisdom, hid the details from Me‚ as it was My final preparation before My ministry started in earnest. That experience is what I needed for My preparation.” “The Intimate Details on My Life” (PDF)
Prophecy continues: In your case, I have told you how long you will be in the wilderness…1,260 days. You have been told when it approximately began, but more accurately, you have been told when it will end. Does this make it any easier for you? No, the Devil is using this information against you now by telling you, “What if you weren’t hearing correctly?
What if that date you were given is wrong?” His attacks of doubts on you are as strong as they were on Me. You have entered your 40 days. You must fight them as I fought them. You must not quit as I did not quit, for his attacks will intensify as the day of reckoning draws closer, so you must use this time of testing to strengthen your adamant resolve. (End)
The People Of The Saints Of The Most High
Prophecy: Remember why I came to earth; My main objective was to save you. Your main objective is to Herald My return in order that the world of man be saved. “Except those days be shortened, no flesh would survive, but for the elect’s (prayers’) sake those days will be shortened.”
You are laying down your life for the people of this world, for without the Key bearers no flesh would be saved. You are doing this great thing according to My will not your own. The Devil would convince you that you could do the same thing in the safety and comfort of your own lands… He is a liar; do not swallow his poison.
His white magic is very powerful in the lands of the West, and he would use it as a snare. You could not live there as you do here. If you were in what some call your home country, you would be led away by the Tempter. Those lands are not home; that is also a lie, for you are strangers and pilgrims on this earth, and where I have placed you is the perfect place to fulfill My will and to also remind you of where and who you are.
Take heed, My loves, as your prayers apply more force and pressure on the kings and kingdoms of this world, so will their systems tighten around you. The enforced Mark of the Beast is imminent. Do not fear, for if you remain in your caves, in obedience to My Word and will, you will be safe.
April 22, 2025…Prophecy: The global elites are moving. Their master has decided to make a move on the chess board. He is forced to react to the effects of your prayers and he knows that your prayers are complicating the game for him and he is furious about that.
Question: Why are we complicating the game if we are praying for the things he wants to come to pass?
It’s the time-frame; you are speeding things up for him. He would like to take things more slowly and prepare his takeover better. He doesn’t have his 666 system all in place yet. All those satellites they are putting up are an important part of it.
It’s not easy to get the whole planet all linked up. You speeding things up with your prayers is part of My strategy to make his system have flaws that you can use when things tighten up. It will be like how the rich now use loopholes in the tax laws to get out of paying most of their taxes.
They hire experts to do this and in the future I will be your expert that will use these flaws to get you some of the things you will need. It will be only one of the ways I will supply your needs. It’s so easy for Me to outsmart the Devil. So keep those prayers coming. They are having an effect even if you don’t see it yet. Another reason you don’t see it yet is because each event has its perfect timing, My timing, not the Devil’s timing.
April 20, 2025…Prophecy: The end is getting closer; one by one the dominoes are falling. The tables are turning. The Whore is cornered: the cat is in the alley. The dollar is dying and the Mark of the Beast, the number, is taking over. All the world will wonder after the Beast.
Question: So the dominoes are falling? Yes of course they are that is why the enemy is so enraged. Do you remember what happened when I sent My seventy out? (Dad speaking) Now this isn’t when Satan is cast out of Heaven for good. It says he “falls” here, and there are two reasons for that. For one, his power and dominion on Earth in the hearts of men has fallen.
The Lord came to set men free from his power, from the power of death and hell, and He not only did so personally, but now He’s trained others to do so (Revelation 1:18). That’s one reason the Enemy fell, and in the spirit it was quick as lightning!
For another reason, when Satan saw the 70 off doing their miracles, the prince of the power of the air freaked out! He suddenly realized that he was not only having to keep an eye on that thorn in his side, the Son of God, Jesus, but that suddenly here were 70 more little “messiahs” walking around winning souls and casting out his devils!
He shot to Earth like lightning when he realized, “Hey‚ this battle is starting for real! I need to get my act together! I need to get my devils together! I need to consolidate my power and principalities. My demons are getting put out of commission, being ejected left and right! I’ve got to do something! I’ve got to get down here and take action!”
Even though Satan had suffered some great defeats, the Lord knew he was going to try even stronger attacks and temptations to defeat the work and power of Heaven that was beginning to spread not only through Jesus, but now through these 70 disciples! (The Mysterious Keys Part 1 #3472)
Prophecy: If you have believed the New New Wine for today, then you would realize that you’ve entered the time spoken of in Revelation 12. “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Our martyrs)
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Revelation 12:6-14
Prophecy continues: My beloved brides, this is the last time. Satan is not just freaked out over seventy “little messiahs.” He is in great wrath because he has lost the atmospheric war and has been cast out of the heavenlies. He underestimated one Key factor, your love for Me.
He is a god of war and hate; he could not comprehend the deep gold magic that links our hearts. He had defeated the temporal system church and he had defeated My Family disciples, but he was once again caught off guard by My unexpected ace card, you My bride. Your impassioned prayers have not called out a mere seventy “messiahs” but seventy times seventy. You have set the course of man on the path to the End.
You have called out San-Bahd-Mahl and the White Angel and millions of witnessers to reap the last harvest. You are undermining Satan’s physical kingdom whilst we attack his spiritual kingdom. His kingdom is suffering violence. His seventy are now the target of your prayers. They are open season, and they are feeling the heat of My wrath. There is great agitation in the kingdom of Satan. These dark seventy sense something is very wrong; they feel a great change in the spirit.
They feel vulnerable; they are now become targets. Now know this, My brides, the heat that you are feeling comes from the dark lord himself: “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. The mind battles that you are experiencing at this time are the poison of his mind.
You must shut the door, lock it tight with the Keys, and seal any gaps or cracks in your armor. He has permission to attack in this way; as I said, this is your forty days of wilderness, and Satan is desperate to halt your onslaught. Victory will be ours, My love.
Pray for those disciples who are out on the tumultuous sea of this world; pray for those overcome by the white magic loaves and fishes. This battle will end in victory if you stay beside Me here in the cave. Never leave My side, focus on the mission at hand, for only you have the power of the Seven Thunders.
Once we have won this battle for the earth, and once I have come into My Kingdom, then we will turn around and give it to the people of the saints of the Most High. This will be one of the last remaining scriptures to be fulfilled in this final era of man.
Now I will share with you another time-line chart embedded in plain sight, but just waiting for the time that I would open the eyes of My brides, My lovers, My Key wielders, My warriors of the End, those in whom I am well pleased.
Daniel 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
“In order to have strong faith, it must be sorely tested, refined, and purified. It’s the testing and refining and purifying that is hard–so hard to endure, so hard to understand, so hard to accept. I am just. I keep My Word. I am faithful. But My ways are so much higher than your ways (Isaiah 55:9). My priorities are so different from your priorities.”
INFOSTORE QUOTE OF THE DAY: Things are not going to get easier. As you go into the Endtime, the last years, the Lord isn’t going to expect less of you, He’s going to expect more of you! (ML 3257:233)
April 27, 2025…Prophecy: Is it such a difficult thing I ask of you that you stay still and listen, listen for My still small voice? I know it seems to you like you are doing nothing… but please let Me be the judge of that.
I have so few who are willing to do that, to stop all activity and wait; wait for whatever will come down the pipe. I have supplied this out-of-the-way place to minimize the distractions. Your effort is to expect something to come down the pipe and wait until it comes.
I know you would like to have a more glamorous job, one that you can be proud of, for that is the way of the flesh and pride, but just receiving what I send is such a humble job. You really can’t take any credit for it at all. But that is how it is in the spirit world.
Nobody gets the credit nor do they want it for they know how dangerous it is. It’s like when somebody throws you a hot potato. You quickly throw it to someone else so your hands don’t get burned. Watch out when all men speak well of you; it goes to your head and feeds your pride.
This is why it’s good for you when you don’t always live up to what you know you should be doing or you make a bad decision because you didn’t consult with Me. It reminds you how weak you are, how bad you are, and how much you need Me.
You shouldn’t use this to bring down your standard and stop trying to walk in the spirit, but you have to realize that I allow these things to bring down your pride a few notches and remind you of what a rotter you are. You are your own worst enemy and “you” is spelled P.R.I.D.E. Can you see why transparency is so good? Because when the “you” gets out of the way, then pride and all of its many manifestations can’t mess up all the good you were trying to do.
Imagine you are in the Millennium and you are trying to put into practice the things I show you to do but “you” pops up and, oh no, an unintended selfish deed hurts someone. Then, oh no, you did something you were sure was right instead of asking Me everything, the thing you did trying to help others, turned out to be a disaster.
You sit down trying to figure out why things are going so badly, when if you would just ask Me, I would tell you that there is just too much of you left. That’s why I can trust My blue beings so much because their “you” is gone and has been replaced by Me.
Let’s go back to prophecy. Aren’t you glad that it is such an unglamorous job and that you can’t take credit for anything? Aren’t you glad that you are in your cave doing “nothing” day after day, that you can’t pat yourself on the back for all that you are “doing”?
You are in training for the Millennium when you will be a nobody. Well, maybe you will have a title and people will look up to you, but you will know without a doubt that you are nothing and no good and useless without Me and that’s why I will be able to use you and occasionally I will have to permit that old “you” to pop up again to remind you of that fact.
