Fatih

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Departed for a season - For a time. From this it appears that our Saviour was "afterward" subjected to temptations by Satan, but no "particular" temptations are recorded after this.
 
From John 14:30, it seems that the devil tried or tempted him in the agony in Gethsemane. Compare the notes at Hebrews 12:4. It is more than probable, also, that Satan did much to excite the Pharisees and Sadducees to endeavor to "entangle him," and the priests and rulers to oppose him; yet out of all his temptations God delivered him; and so he will make a way to escape for "all" that are tempted, and will not suffer them to be tempted above that which they are able to bear, 1 Corinthians 10:13. BARNES NOTES
 
 
 
Hebrews, Chapter 11, verse 5, talks about Enoch’s faith. It says, "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see (physical) death; and was not found, because God translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony that he pleased God." {Faith Pleases God}...
 
Enoch not only walked holy before God, he walked holy before men. His inward life  faith was exhibited to men through his life as he lived and operated in trusting God not man. For 300 years, Enoch’s walk with God became so intense he one day he just disappeared. The “death” spoken of in verse 5 is physical death. Enoch is a type of  rapture the ecclesia will experience one day. Notice the next four words in this verse, "...and was not found." That means people looked for him. The word, “testimony” is the same Greek word as, “witness” . A testimony means before Enoch left this earth, he not only pleased God, he showed men that he pleased God.
 
His life was a witness to all those around him. They looked at Enoch and they could see God walking in this earth. It's a model for all our faith. Why at narrowway it;s deeply seeking ministry,  If were going to see change that change must come from him not how to books. A direct union with him, getting  back or into connection which sees another way.
 
All to often we skip over the one thing  which does the most, to alternative which does nothing , faith pleases God, it;s vital if we;re going to change and see change for the better till than, Oh ye of little faith have I bee with you? and still, we been given so much and use so little in order to stand still and find reason to complain and at time hurt one another.The loss is ours the gain is for those who seek him and his ways. BLESSINGS....
