Genesis 3:4 (NKJV) Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
As Eve looked upon the fruit on the tree in the middle of the garden… the fruit that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, the devil tried to convince her that God had lied to them.
Before she knew it, Eve had taken the fruit from the tree and taken a bite. Then she gave it to Adam so he could also eat of it.
The deception was successful and the course of man was forever changed.
Here we are thousands of years later and the devil is still whispering in the ears of men and women across the world. He whispers to you and he whispers to me.
He tempts each and every one of us, every single day.
When he tempted Eve, she gave in and ate the fruit. Today, when you and I are tempted, we don’t have to fall into the traps he lays for us. We have a weapon to fight against his wiles.
That weapon is the Holy Spirit. God’s spirit lives inside of each of us, giving us everything we need in order to have victory over the enemy. He tells us right from wrong and cautions us when temptation is coming our way. All we need to do is listen and obey His voice.
If we can do this, we will find ourselves having victory over sin instead of falling prey to temptation, over and over again.
