Description

2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

2 Corinthians 10:3–6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”

This morning rant is about the strategies that Satan uses. Today we will look at how he approach Eve in Genesis 3 and Abraham in the book of Jasher 23

Points of attack

Hath God said? - Satan said to Eve to cause her to doubt God’s word

Art thou silly and brutish, that thou goest to do this thing this day to your only son- Satan said to Abraham- to Abraham to cause him to doubt God’s word

Eve account and Response

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, `You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?''

2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat 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 has said, `You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' 4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.5 "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.''

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

Abraham account and response

And whilst Abraham was proceeding with his son Isaac along the road, Satan came and appeared to Abraham in the figure of a very aged man, humble and of contrite spirit, and he approached Abraham and said to him, art thou silly or brutish, that thou goest to do this thing this day to thine only son ? 26. For God gave thee a son in thy latter days, in thy old age, and wilt thou go and slaughter him this day because he committed no vio- lence, and wilt thou cause the soul of thine only son to perish from the earth ? 27. Dost thou not know and understand that this thing cannot be from the Lord ? For the Lord can- not do unto man such evil upon earth to say to him, go slaughter thy child. 28. And Abra- ham heard this and knew that it was the word of Satan who endeavored to draw him aside from the way of the Lord, but Abraham would not hearken to the voice of Satan, and Abraham rebuked him so that he went away.

I pray that God would "give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. 18I, pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance" https://plus.acast.com/s/blueprint-of-faith.
