eve

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 

Genesis 3:1

A lot of tricks claim to be the oldest trick in the book, but this one takes the prize, hands down. The very first deception ever was Satan getting Eve to question what God had said. It was such a successful disinformation campaign, that he has been using this tactic ever since.

He’ll often use it against believers to get them to question what the Bible really says about issues. He will also use it to get you to question what you have heard from God. That revelation that the Spirit gave you during your quiet time last week, was that really from God or was that just your mind making stuff up? That promise that God gave you when you were reading the Bible a couple months ago still has not come to pass. Was that actually a word from God?

There are times that our flesh will get in the way and causes us to cook up stuff “from God”. It takes a close relationship through prayer, worship and Bible reading to develop the disernment to know the difference. But, when you know you’ve received a word from the Spirit through diligent prayer or seeking Him through the Bible, don’t let the enemy dissuade you with doubt.

Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
