Hello my brothers & sisters today we are going to talk about the serpent and how he tempts us. Lets take a look at Genesis 3:1-5:
1 Now the serpent1 was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?2" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,33 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "44 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.55 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,6 knowing good and evil."Folks let take a moment to think. I want you to think about your everyday life and ask yourself what is it that tempts me on a day to day basis? If you notice everytime you get close to God here comes the serpent to try to tempt you. Satan works to decieve us and try to get us as far away from God as he can. See folks what you got to realize is no one said that the step to God was going to be easy because it is not. The bible says that the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal the Lord God had made. See when you take that step to God you must be tested to see if you are really ready. For example lets say you are taking social studies well at the end of each chapter there is a test to see what you know and God does us the same way only he uses satan to do it. As brothers & sisters in Christ we have to learn how to be like Jesus and resist temptation because things of this world will only lead you to hell. So folk if you are working on your relationship with God know one thing you will be tested just as Jesus was to see how strong your faith and love for God is. Its a battle out there between good & Evil which side will you take ask yourself that. In closing I want to say this if you are not being tested by God than I would be worried because that means God is not paying any attention to you so think about that. Until next time may you be blessed. A Message From God Brought To You By As One Ministries.
