Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, was led by the same Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil for forty days. At the end of the fast, Jesus was hungry.
Then the devil approached Him for the first temptation. Pretending not to know the identity and personality of Jesus, the devil told Him, " If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
The target was to get Jesus to fall for his deception by trying prove that He is the Son of God. However, Jesus bluntly referred the devil to the Bible and told him that " It is written, " Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" ( Deuteronomy 8:3 ).
Fasting is a spiritual exercise that prepares the Christians to tackle spiritual challenges. The devil tempted Jesus with what He needed most at that time, which was food. However, Jesus defeated him by using the word of God to counteract his suggestions. If the devil tempted Jesus, he will surely tempt you. So be prepared by fasting, praying, and studying the word of God. You will need these when any temptation comes ( 11 Timothy 2:15 ).
