This book focuses on something so
prevalent in the Bible, yet it is not emphasized enough. I have read hundreds
of Bible based books, magazines, and have listened to so many audio tapes. I have spent countless hours reading the
Bible. I have read and listened only as
I quest to seek God at deeper levels. I
am not an authority nor do I claim to be, but I have only heard this topic
sporadically mentioned in a few sermons. The above statement is not one of
contempt. Now, this book only focuses on what is in the Bible. After getting caught up in situation after
situation I started confessing the word of God to rectify the messy lifestyle I
was creating time after time. I was Born Again and it seemed that I just stayed
in a mess. Somehow, I just knew that God was leading me to His word
confession. God gave me a new word to
confess daily during morning prayer time. Confessing
the word was a laborious task at first, but I needed the results that only the
word of God provided. As I continued to
confess the word of God, I noticed a prevailing subject matter that God was
conveying to me. I would confess what I got daily and the revelations
deepen. This book has mentioned God, now
let's mention Satan. Satan primary acts
are listed in John 10:10. Satan comes to
steal, kill, and to destroy. Satan is a
manipulator, an imitator, and a counterfeiter. Satan's focal points are
perceived weakness, the desire for power, and self esteem issues as Satan tried
to tempt Jesus in Luke 4: 1-13. Satan hates God because God is Awesome and
Genuine. God has provided us with laws,
promises, and covenants. God and His
Word are One.
Satan knows more about the provisions of God than most Christians. My people are destroyed for a lack of
knowledge Hosea 4:6. Christians perish when they do not get revelation
knowledge. If we do not obtain correct information regarding matters concerning
God then the door of opportunity is opened to Satan. A known saying- -What you
don't know can't hurt you. Wrong. What you don't know can help Satan steal from
you, kill you, and
destroy you. Satan is quite successful at train wrecking many
Christians and has train wrecked me a few times because of not being properly
taught. So many Christians are in dead
churches where no revelation teaching occurs.
Satan loves these types of churches because he does not have to focus on
this sect because this sect will self destruct due to
being religious. Satan is after something alive and living. Satan has not changed his Modus Operandi (MO)
since he spoke with Eve in the garden.
God had given Adam a command and Satan suggested to Eve that Adam and
she could be like God if they ate the forbidden fruit. Now, I don't know what the fruit was and
neither does anyone other than God, Adam, Eve, and Satan. The Bible does not say the fruit was an
apple. The fruit could have been a peach
or a plum. Satan used his MO then and is
still using the same MO. Satan got Eve
to accept his teaching of what God meant by his command. Eve allowed herself to be
beguiled by the serpent and she accepted Satan treacherous words instead of
God's true instructions, nor did Adam convey God's instructions correctly to
Eve. Eve was susceptible to being
beguile because she did not know the truth. Adam was with Eve all the while this conversation took place and close enough to accept the
fruit. Adam ate the forbidden fruit and that is when the actual deception
occurred. What did Adam and Eve lose? The freedom to flow in the Spirit with
God, the position of rulership over the earth was
stolen, and they were removed from God's perfect place of provision. I often think of Adam and Eve when I have to
work so excruciatingly hard. I really want to ask why damage things for all of
us! So many countless provisions were
lost when this deception took place.
