Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0855A recorded on February 19, 1984 teaching from Luke 4:1-15 – And Jesus Being Full of the Holy Ghost.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the Christian’s struggle with temptation and sin, emphasizing that victory comes not from human strength, but from the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, Stevens highlights two key adversaries: Satan and the sinful nature of self. While Christians are called to resist the Devil, who will flee, the ongoing challenge is learning to deal with our own will and bring it under God’s control through the transforming power received at conversion.
