The wiles

When Adam and Eve were first in the Garden, they lived a rather perfect life without any scarcity.  They had no needs so how did the serpent manage to get Eve to sin?  It was solely by deception and now it is no different.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What are wiles?  They are deceptions, schemings, lies, cunningness, craftiness.  Does that sound familiar with what is happening around the world?

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11:

3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

We must remain vigilant when it comes to listening/watching Christian teachers for they may lead us astray because of their own errors and opinions.  I myself have been deceived in the past so I am very cautious about what I watch, read, or listen to.  If things get to complex, most likely they are not preaching the pure Word of Christ.  Paul warned of this potential even back then.

The adversary would have us believe that FATHER has not provided for you and me individually and he uses “wiles” to promote that idea.  We need to simply renew our minds to Ephesians chapter 1 as I have written in the past.

Now is the time to stand up against the deceptions and know that FATHER’S Love has full provision for us!
