He Deceives

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV)

HIS WEAPON

…He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 (NLT)

HOW DOES HE DECEIVE?

1. HE _____________________ GOD’S WORD

…he (the serpent) said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” Genesis 3:1 (NKJV)

· Reduces a ________________ to a _______________

· Plants ________________________________

The woman said to the serpent, we may eat fruit “from the trees in the garden, Genesis 3:2 (NKJV)

2. HE ___________________ GOD’S WORD

…“You will not surely die. 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.” Genesis 3:4,5 (NKJV)

OUR WEAPON

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword… Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)

His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in His right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from His mouth. And His face was like the sun in all its brilliance. Revelation 1:14-16 (NLT)
