Thank you, Pastor. Open your Bibles, if you will, to the book of Genesis. Genesis chapter number three. You don't have far to turn, just three chapters into the word of God tonight. Genesis chapter number three. We're going to be We're taking a look at the first six verses of the chapter and draw some thoughts from that. Genesis 3. We'll begin reading in verse 1. The Bible says, Now the serpent was more supple 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? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die, For God doth know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 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." Let's go to Lord in prayer. Father, we thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your grace. Thank you, Lord, for the Word of God. I pray that you'd help us, Lord, to take what you've laid on my heart and, Lord, to be able to present it in a way that would be a help and an encouragement to your people. And I pray that you would just help all of us to come, Lord, with a desire to learn something from you and to be challenged, Lord, from the Word of God tonight. Lord, I pray that you would bless all that goes on now. May we bring you glory and honor in Jesus' name. Amen, amen. Let's look at these verses and consider tonight. Now, I find it interesting that knowing the Word of God, having the full revelation of Scripture, I find it interesting that Satan still, all these years later, gets the best of us sometimes. You know, I find it interesting that we still fall prey to the plots and the ploys of the devil. The Word of God, we've got the help that we need not to fall prey to the devil. We've got the information that we need to combat the attacks and the strategy of the devil. And let's be honest, it's a simple strategy that Satan has when it comes to enticing us to disobey the commands of God. A simple strategy, but yet an effective strategy. still works. Listen, his strategy has not changed from the beginning. What he uses to tempt and entice you and I into sin, guess what? He used it way back in the beginning. It's the same playbook. It's the same strategy. And Paul warns us in the New Testament not to be ignorant of Satan's devices. And so, to that end, let's examine the strategy that Satan uses to entice us into sin. First of all, I see in the text here that when Satan comes to entice Eve to sin, the very first thing that he does, step number one, he discredits God's Word. Now, can God's Word actually be discredited? No. Right? Because it's perfect, and it's entire, and it's complete, and you can't, there's no untruth in it, there's no error in it, but Satan does sometimes allow, does cause the principles of the Word of God to be discredited in our own minds and hearts. And that's his first Step that's his first objective is is to try to discredit the Word of God He endeavors to destroy our confidence and our certainty in the Word of God by causing us to question it Notice It's a two-pronged attack that he uses to discredit the Word of God look look with me in verse number one Mimos says, toward the end of the verse, and he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden. So first of all, in this first step, if you will, of this strategy, I see that he attacks the Word of God's authorship. How does he discredit the Word of God? Well, he attacks its authorship. He said, hath God said? Did God say this? Is this really God's Word? You see Eve, if we look back into chapter 2, we see that Eve wasn't around when this commandment was given. Eve was not created until after God had commanded Adam to not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Look with me in chapter 2. The Bible says, verse 8, And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden. And there He put the man whom He had formed, and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, and the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden. Anyway, so He creates the garden. And we come down to verse 15. And the Lord took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die. Notice verse 18. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him and help meet for him. So we see that it is not until after Adam is put into the garden and given this charge and this command that Eve is created. And so the devil comes in and begins to attack the authorship of God's word, of God's command. Well, how do you know God said that? How do you know that's what God meant? May I tell you, he does the same thing to us today. Well, how do you know that's God's word? How do you know that that's what God meant? Well, that's just the opinion of man. That was just Paul's opinion, or that was just what Peter thought. How do you know that that came from God? and he wants to attack the authorship of the Word of God. He uses this lie. Lie number one, God's Word cannot be trusted. We can't be confident that we have God's Word. We can't be confident that it is really the Word of God because it's been copied and copied and copied through generations and maybe somebody messed it up. Maybe it's not in the Word of God anymore. Maybe something's been lost in translation. So he tries to get us to believe the lie that God's Word cannot be trusted. 2 Timothy 3.16, here's what the Bible says. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. 2 Peter 1.21, the Bible says, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. And so here are some verses that we can use to combat this lie of Satan. When Satan tries to convince us or convince others, or those that Satan has already convinced of this lie, try to convince us of the lie. We have some ammunition, if you will, to help combat this lie of Satan. Hey, we know all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. We know that the prophecy came not in old times by the will of man. but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. So we see that the Bible declares its own authorship and defends its own authorship, and it's from God. Not only in this question do I see an attack in its authorship, but I see that he discredits the Word of God in this way, he attacks its accuracy. He attacks its accuracy. You see? Let's continue on. Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Notice how he just tries to plant that little seed of doubt. Did God really say this? Are you sure you understood that correctly? And here comes lie number two. God's Word cannot be believed. We can't have a certainty that the Word of God is true because there's too many questions. Once again, I see some, in the word of God, some ammunition, if you will, to combat this lie. John 17, 17, Jesus himself said this, "'Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth.'" Psalm 119, 160. The Bible says, "'Thy word is true from the beginning, and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever.'" Proverbs 30 and verse 5, the beginning of the verse says, every word of God is pure. There's no untruth. There's no error in the word of God. Every word of God is pure. God's word can be trusted. We can have confidence that we do in fact have the word of God tonight. And we can be certain that the Word of God is true and trustworthy. So what then is man's response? When Satan discredits the Word of God, man responds in delusion. When man doubts the authorship and accuracy of the Word of God, he will begin to produce his own version. of what God said. Look with me. Verse 2, and the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die. Now, let's look back Again in chapter 2, and let's see what God said. Verse 16, And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die. We notice that Eve misquotes God. She then produces her own version of what God said. We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. Notice this next part. This is interesting to me. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden. Notice how she's not being very specific right there. Oh, the tree that's in the midst of the garden. But what did God say? God said, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He was very specific. If you look in verse nine, out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So we see that here she is already sadly mistaken about what God has said. She has caused now confusion and delusion about what God has actually said. Notice that she adds to what God said, "'Neither shall ye touch it,' she said. And lest ye die, what God said, thou shalt surely die. She says, lest ye die. She paraphrases. She has produced her own version of what God said. And guess what? Unfortunately, man has produced many of their own versions of God's Word. And we've taken the Word of God and changed it to mean or to say what we want it to mean or to say. And we've pulled out what we don't like and we've added in what we think ought to be there. And unfortunately, there's a lot of confusion out in this world about what the Word of God really is. Because man has taken and produced his own version. He's bought into the lie of Satan, that God's word cannot be trusted and that it cannot be believed. Proverbs 30 and verse six, the Bible says this, add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee and thou be found a liar. Revelation 22, 18 and 19. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book. Do we see it? It's a serious thing. to misrepresent the Word of God. It is a serious thing to change and to try to produce our own version and rendition of what God said. Galatians 1, 8 and 9, but though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you, then that which ye have received, let him be accursed." We must be careful not to buy in and believe the lies of Satan and allow them to cause us to produce our own version of the Word of God. Not only does he discredit God's Word, but secondly, let's continue on in the passage. Verse four, and the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die. Now he disputes God's Word. He disputes God's Word. In other words, he endeavors to derail our commitment and our consecration to the Word of God by causing us to diminish it. In this, I see also a two-pronged attack. He's already attacked its authorship and its accuracy, but now he attacks its authority. He attacks its authority. See, here comes lie number three. God's word does not have to be followed. God's word does not have to be obeyed. Look at the Bible, look at what he says. He says, ye shall not surely die. There's no consequence for disobeying the word of God. It's not that important. Okay, maybe, maybe it is God's word, but you don't have to follow it. It doesn't apply to you. It attacks its authority. James 1 and verse 22, the Bible says, but be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Matthew 7, 24-29, Jesus said, Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock. And everyone that heareth these things of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell. Great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these things, the people were astonished at his doctrine. Notice this, verse 29, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Jesus, taught with authority. And the Word of God has that same authority. Joshua 1, 7 and Bible says, it's only be thou strong and very courageous that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses, my servant, commanded thee. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. He said, this book of the law, it should not depart out of your mouth, but you should meditate in it day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. John 14 and 15, Jesus put it this way. If you love me, keep my commandments. Numbers 32, 23, but if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord and be sure your sin will find you out. I think the Bible is very plain and clear that this is not just a book of suggestions. No, no, no, this is to be followed, this is to be obeyed. But the devil wants to trick us and get us to believe that, well, that's just suggestion. I know the Bible says this, but... Well, you don't have to do that. That's not applicable for today. Hmm. I am God. I change not. Hey, God don't change His mind about sin. God has changed His dealings with mankind, but God doesn't change His mind about sin. Sin is sin, wrong is wrong, whether it's in the Old Testament or the New. Well, the Old Testament doesn't apply to us today. Be careful about that statement. I go back, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and it's profitable. The Word of God does need to be followed. He attacks His authority. Then, continuing on, He attacks its aim. Look with me in verse 5. For God doth know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Here comes lie number four. God's Word is holding you back. God is holding you back. He's trying to keep you from some great knowledge and wisdom, and He's trying to hold back some things from you, and He doesn't want you to realize your full potential. God is holding you back. And how often do we get tricked and deceived into thinking just that? Oh, God's just holding me back. God just don't want me to have no fun. God's not holding anything back from us. God's not trying to push us down, keep us down. What does the Bible say? The Bible says in Romans 15, 4, for whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning. that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope. 1 John 1 and verse 4, the Bible says, "...and these things write we unto you, that your joy might be full." Does that sound like a book that's trying to hold us back and keep things away from us? No. It's written for our learning. It was written that our joy may be full. James 1.17, the Bible says this, every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. The Bible says every good gift, any good thing in your life, it comes from God. It's from the Lord. He doesn't withhold good things from us. I think the greatest example of this is found in John 3.16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3.17, continuing on, for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. God's not holding anything back from us. In fact, God gave the most precious thing to Him for us. God was willing to give His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross. Why? Because He loved us that much and He thought that much of us. That's not a God who's trying to keep us down and trying to hold us back from good things. No. That's a God who's trying to elevate us and help us. God is not holding out on us tonight. 1 John 5, 11-13, the Bible says, And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. These things were written that ye may know that ye have eternal life. And Jesus is that life. Hey, listen, the salvation, the cross, the Bible, God, it's not a minus sign. Right? The cross, salvation, it's a plus sign. You see, we're not getting things held back from us and taken away from us. No, no, no. We have had things added to our life. God adds to our life. He don't take away from our life. In fact, we don't know life without God. We have no life without the Son. We have no life without God. We have no life without Jesus. He is like, Jesus said in John 14, six, I am the way, the truth, and the life. God ain't trying to hold us down and keep things back from us. No, no, in fact, God is trying to add to our life. He is trying to enhance our life. He is trying to help make us better. John 10, 10, the thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. Galatians 2, 20, I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And when Satan comes to you and tries to convince you that the Word of God and the principles of the Word of God is just trying to hold you back and just trying to keep you from fun, you just let him know, hey, listen, that's not true. Because I would not even know life except through God, except through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus did not take anything away from us. Jesus added to us. The only thing Jesus took from us was our wickedness and our sin. That's the only thing God ever took from us. But when Satan comes along and disputes God's Word, and man believes Him, what is his response? His response is deterrence. When man diminishes the authority and the aim of the Word of God, he begins to be deterred from putting it into practice. So we see We've seen the first two steps of Satan's strategy. We see that he discredits God's Word. He uses two lies to do that. God's Word cannot be trusted and God's Word cannot be believed. He disputes God's Word. He uses two more lies to do that. God's Word does not have to be followed and God's Word is holding you back. But then number three, what's the third step of his strategy? He diverts from God's word. In other words, he endeavors to distract us from the commands and cautions of the word of God by causing us to ignore it. He tries to get our attention focused elsewhere. You see, because when he has gotten us to question the Word of God, and he's gotten us to diminish the Word of God in our lives, and now we are questioning its accuracy, and its authority, and its authorship, and we have diminished the Word of God so much in our lives that now Satan has us exactly where he wants us. because now he can divert our attention and direct our attention toward what he wants it to be directed on. And we see this in the passage. Look with me in verse number six. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, Notice now, her attention, her focus is now no longer on the Word of God. Her attention and focus is now no longer on what did God say and what was God's commandment. No, no, no. Now the attention and the focus is directed on the desire of the lust. The object of the lust. when the woman saw. When He diverts our attention from the Word of God, He will divert our attention toward three things. First of all, He diverts toward self-gratification. This is the lust of the flesh. Look with me in verse number six. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, the lust of the flesh could be summed up in this statement, this feels good. This feels good, right? She said, oh, this tree, this is good for food. This is going to, Make my belly full. This is gonna help me feel good. It's just food. It's all about gratifying self. It's all about now what she sees and it's about how things feel to her. How can this make me feel? Guess what? Satan does the same thing to you and I. Oh, it might not be a piece of fruit. But He comes to us and He uses things and says, Paul, this is good. This is good for you because this is going to make you feel good. This is a great thing because this is going to gratify your flesh. This is going to fulfill the desires of your flesh. And He uses the lust of the flesh. to deter us from the things of God, to get our attention focused on self and our desires and our wants and our wishes and how this is gonna make me feel. Then continuing on, when a woman saw that the tree was good for food, But next, and that it was pleasant to the eyes. He diverts towards self-perception. The lust of the eyes can be summed up in this, this looks good. This looks good. Now you see her attention and focus is not on what has God said, it's what do I see? It's pleasant to the eyes. It's all about her perception. It's all about how she sees it. It's all about how she's looking at this now. And it looks good to her. It is pleasant to her eyes. It's not about what God thinks anymore. Now it's about what she thinks about it. It's about her perception of it and how she sees it and how she views it. You know, how does this manifest in our life? I'll tell you how it manifests right here. Well, I just don't see anything wrong with that. I just don't see the big deal. Well, I just don't feel convicted about that. I just don't see that that's wrong. Guess what? You're not trying to look at it through God's perspective. You're looking at it through your own perspective. It's not about how we feel, it's not about what we see, it's not about our perspective and how we view things and look at things, it's about what does God say. Lamentations 3 in verse 51, beginning of the verse, the Bible says, this mine eye affecteth mine heart. Proverbs 23, 33. The Bible says, thine eyes shall behold strange women and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Notice, notice the progression. He said, your eyes are gonna see strange women and your heart will utter perverse things. So your eyes, once again, another example, that your eyes affect your heart, your desires, your wants, your wishes. And that's why the psalmist in Psalm 101 verse 3 said, I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes. Because our eyes affect our heart, our desires. And you see, that's exactly what Satan does. See, Satan wants to show you the good time. He wants to show you the fun. He wants to show you all the glitz and the glamor, but he doesn't show you the end of the thing. You see, the Bible says, there's a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is destruction. Proverbs 14, 12, there's a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. You see, Satan, he don't show you the consequences. Satan doesn't show you what's gonna come of this. All Satan wants you to see is, oh, that looks fun. Man, that sure looks good. I bet that would bring me some pleasure. I bet that would bring fun. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. I don't see anything wrong with this. That looks good to me. It looks fun to me. And that's what Satan wants us to focus on. That's what Satan wants us to see. He doesn't want us to see the end of the thing. He doesn't want us to see the destruction that is caused by sin. Think about this. That's a very easy example. Every single beer commercial you ever see, what do they show? Oh, we're just partying and having a good time and it's all fun and we're laughing and we're hanging out with our friends and everything's good. And this is fun. I've never seen a beer commercial that shows the hangover the next morning. I've never seen a beer commercial that shows somebody beating on their wife or their kids because they're in a drunken rage. I've never seen a beer commercial that shows somebody driving behind the wheel of a car drunk and hitting somebody and killing them. I've never seen that before. They don't show that. What do they show? They just show, oh, this is fun. This is good. This is, we're just having a good old time. We're just partying. And that's how Satan presents sin to you and I. He gets us to see, oh, that looks fun. That looks good. He dresses it up and he makes it look appealing. He doesn't show the rottenness that's within. You could take an old, rotten, nasty tomato, and you can put it in really pretty wrapping paper, right? And you can make that wrapping paper look real good and real pretty. Here, I brought this to you. Doesn't this look great? Doesn't this look good? Oh yeah, that looks beautiful. Look at the wrapping job on that. Why do we wrap presents? Because we want it to look good. We want it to look presentable. We want it to look like something that is to be desired. But underneath the paper, sometimes there's just no Amazon box. Sometimes it's just a brown box with black lettering. Sometimes what's in the box isn't what the box says. On the outside of it, it looks real good, and it looks real pretty, and it's so wonderful, but you can't see what's on the inside. And that's how Satan presents sin to you and I. Oh, this looks real good on the outside. He doesn't show us the result. The lust of the flesh, self-gratification, this feels good. The lust of the eyes, self-perception, this looks good. Thirdly, he diverts our focus and attention towards self-esteem. That's the pride of life, which is summed up in this statement, this makes me look good. This promotes me, right? The pride of life. Hey, listen, there's not one person sitting under the sound of my voice tonight, me included, that doesn't want themselves to look good, right? Why do you think I combed my hair tonight? Because I want it to look good. Why do you think we put on nice clothes? Hey, if you're gonna go on a date, are you gonna go put on a bunch of ratty clothes and just not even, ladies don't only worry about putting on no makeup and just put on some old house dress or whatever, put on your workout clothes and go out on a date. No, I'd say most of you probably don't do that. If you're gonna go on a date, look nice, right? You wanna dress up, you wanna, right? And we all, we all want ourselves to look nice and presentable. We want people to think positively of us. And if we're not careful, we can fall into this trap of pride. We fall into a trap of, focusing so much on making ourselves look good on the outside that we don't worry about what is within. Jesus told the Pharisees, He said, they're whited sepulchers. Oh, they're all white and pretty on the outside, but inside they're full of dead men's bones. And if we're not careful, It's easy for us to fall into that same trap. We want to make sure we look good on the outside. When we come to church, we wanna look real spiritual. We want people to think that we are, and oh man, we just want them to think, man, this person, they just, they love God so much, and they're so spiritual and wonderful. But let's make sure that we don't get so focused on our own self-image and our own self-esteem that that we're not, once again, focusing on the word of God in our relationship with the Lord. Look, here's what it says. Not only was he good for food and pleasant to the eyes, but the Bible says it was a tree to be desired to make one wise. Oh, this is gonna make me look good. If I eat this fruit, I'm gonna be wise. I'm gonna be smart. I'm gonna have all this knowledge and wisdom. Look how this is gonna make me look. Isaiah 64 and verse six, the Bible says, but we are all as an unclean thing. And all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. and we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Every one of them has gone back. Psalm 53.3, they are all together become filthy. There is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 3.23, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 12.3, for I say through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. but to think soberly according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Proverbs 16, 18, pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before fall. When Satan diverts our attention on self, what is man's response? Disobedience. Bible continues on, says she took of the fruit thereof and did eat. and gave also unto her husband with her. When man diverts his attention towards self-gratification, perception, and esteem, he will begin to head down a path of disobedience, death, and destruction. Here's how to overcome this strategy. We look no further than our example, Jesus Christ. Matthew 4, when he is tempted of the devil, Jesus is led of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And three times Satan comes to him and he, three times, guess what? Satan uses those same three things, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life. And every time, here was Jesus' response, and I'm closing. But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Verse seven, Jesus said unto him, it is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Verse 10, then saith Jesus unto him, get thee hit, Satan, for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, in whom only shalt thou serve. If we wanna combat Satan's strategy of sin, We have to go right back to the Word of God. Just keep taking him back to the Word of God, knowing and believing and trusting in its truth and in its accuracy, knowing that it can be trusted, it can be believed, and just keep going right back to the Word of God. And if we will When Satan tries to direct our attention away, if we'll just bring it right back, just as Christ did, it is written, it is written, it is written, then we can combat the strategy of Satan. you
