Combatting Evil: February 12, 2014

INTRO:  We recapped on our assignment of where we see God moving...

Topic: How Evil Moves and How to STOP it.....

Genesis 3:1-24
What strikes you about this reading?
-Cursed is the ground we walk on (we’re walking through sin)
-Everyone’s blaming each other

Let’s go back and examine Satan’s tactic...
-Serpent asks, “Did He really tell you that?” to raise doubt in Eve’s mind
-Serpent words the question to make God seem not personable 
-The serpent used the TRUTH for evil

How was trust broken in this story?
-Doubt raises
-Words of God are twisted by the serpent 

Also See:
--Ephesians 6:16  Evil is going to continue to fire. Use your shield of FAITH
--John 8:44 Jesus says that Satan was a murderer since the beginning. He killed our open communication with the Lord. Satan took our “free will” and used it to his advantage.
--Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Stand on the word


SUMMARY*****Protect yourself from doubt through God’s WORD
