Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 7) 


Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Yesterday, we stated that Eve had a flawed understanding of the Word of God.

To reveal those flaws, we'll compare what Eve said to that which God said.

Ignorance/Flaw #1
The tree in the middle of the garden.

i. Was the tree of knowledge of good and evil the only tree in the middle of the garden?
ii. How many trees were actually in the middle?
iii. What were these trees?
These questions we shall answer.

Let's look at Eve's word concerning this:  “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat." (Genesis 3:3 New Living Translation).

Eve's answer revealed that the only tree in the middle was that of knowledge of good and evil. The use of the word 'only' in the NLT and 'except' in the KJV proves this.

Now let's look at God's stand concerning this:  "In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9 New Living Translation)

Verse 9 reveals: In the middle of the garden, God placed 2 trees: The tree of life AND the tree of knowledge of good and evil. These trees were side by side in the middle of the garden.

So, the tree of knowledge of good and evil was NOT the only tree in the middle of the garden.

In spiritual warfare, ignorance is not an excuse; it is destructive.

This ignorance or deliberate choice to ignore this important truth opened her up to futher assault from the serpent.

When battling the devil, you don't fight with half-truths. Only the truth sets free.


Let's continue next time by His Grace.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
