What Satan did was persuade Eve that she could have something she did not have at that time. He enticed her with what she did not have. Nothing has changed today. Satan entices us with what we think we cannot have by making us believe what we have is not enough. If we could just have this or that, then we would be happy.
I want you to notice that in chapter three after they ate of the tree they did receive the knowledge Satan spoke of, but with a twist. When they heard the Lord coming they hid themselves because they were afraid. What did they get with the promise of being like God? Fear!
As I read about some of the famous people, like Beyonce, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, those that have sold out to Satan's deceit of fame and fortune, what has been the twist for them? They too live in fear.
I have found that if I am fearful of something, it is always because I have let Satan's evil schemes deceive me in some way. If I take a moment and really face the fear, I can always see the truth that Satan has taken and twisted it just enough to get one over on me!
If you live in fear, what have you been deceived by? What has Satan twisted in your life?
Lord I pray for those today who have been decieved by the twist of Satan's schemes. Show them truth, and set them free from fear. In Jesus name, Amen!
