Genesis 3:1 NKJV
“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
The first conversation man had with the enemy was over God’s word. Think it not strange that we are still having the same conversations with Satan today over His Word.
We need to know and to let the devil know that our conversation ends with God’s Word is the Final Word for my life. That’s it!
As Satan sought to remove God’s plan for his creation from the scene, he began with trying to replace God’s word with his word, and he still does this with us today.
God will give us a Word to stand on and Satan comes immediately with the conversation of, “Did God say, you know He won’t do it for you, you know He let you down before, you know He let bad things happen to you, you can’t depend on God to help you so you have to do it yourself, and that doesn’t even make sense. A big one is, God forgot about you.”
We need to do what our first parents did not do- end the conversation with Satan by saying, God’s Word says…. And that’s the Final Word. It is done!
Prayer
Lord, help me to not be passive with the enemy. Help me to speak your Word with boldness and authority and end the conversation him once and for all by speaking your Word.
Let Your Words be my final Words. In Jesus’ name.
