 God is Good

Happy Wednesday 😊 

God does not want us ignorant to the tricks and deceits of the evil one.

Do you think the enemy plays games and tricks?

He is the master of them.

MIND GAMES

DECEIT

LIES

TRICK OR TREAT (all bad)

Even when a person pretends things to accomplish an evil plan.

Eve falls for the tricks of the devil. On the other hand we can say no to darkness and wicked plans. God sees. You ever had to tell someone to stop playing with you. Or gas lighting you. They try to convince you of something wrong as they manipulate everything. But as we move to the New testament we will see why parables and the teachings of Jesus is very revelant. Even someone wanting you to think something untrue. The devil lives at that place. He wants to move us away from God. He thinks it's funny. The woman, the man, the serpent all were punished because the devil use the serpent and the man listen to the evil one. I bet the devil laugh and today he continues to trick. He uses people and anything. How cruel. We need the Lord. 

King James Version

3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

TRICKERY 

He spoke to them until they thought the thoughts so they could commit the actions. Just to move them away from God. To make God unhappy with them. 

Have a great day!
