Jesus consistantly used the word of
God to defeat Satan. The Word of
God's power has a force much greater
than mere words could say.
Satan always uses material things to
get a hold on man, because man clings
to worldly goods and is centered on
temporal things rather than spiritual.
Jesus came to turn that order around
and have man center on treasures in
heaven rather than treasures on earth.
The Lord left palaces in heaven to come
to earth. He gave up 'riches that through
His poverty we may become rich'.
