The subtle enemy

"Now the serpent was more subtle 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?" (Genesis 3:1 KJV). The serpent came into the garden subtly. He entered so cleverly, without being recognized. He was determined to deceive the creation of God. The minute the woman gave attention to that serpent, Satan himself, she opened the door of her heart and he took advantage of it.  Ever since that moment in the garden and there after, Satan has been in this world lying and deceiving. His job is to steal, kill, and destroy. So many aren't aware of his trickery or how he comes into a heart and causes destruction. In our world today, Satan has taken over homes, families, cities, countries, and quite a bit of individuals. The Lord said that in the last days some will fall away from the faith, repel from the truth. The enemy is out to deceive. He's going to start deceiving where the truth is preached and where the truth is heard. He began to deceive in the Garden of Eden. Today, he might even make his way into the church. He will go into the church that lacks the Spirit of God or into an individual that's heard the Word of God, but allows themselves to go into the world free, with no boundaries. We must be careful what we watch, hear, and put ourselves in front of. The Lord tells us time and time again to be watchful.  These are the days that we have to be very watchful, for the devil's out to steal, kill, and destroy. God bless you all. Amen.
