How does satan manipulate us? How does the devil create lies that deceive us? How does lucifer ensnare us? How does the dragon attempt to destroy us? After all, he’s had since before the Garden to perfect his craft, has he not??? His first victims, Eve then Adam went flawless – so flawless, he caused the downfall of all humanity by convincing the first humans that they needed to question God. And he succeeded within minutes. We like to think and say, “How could they have been that dumb?!?!?” Here’s the brutal truth – that’s pride kicking in….you and I would’ve done the exact same thing as they did!!!!! THAT’S how he works and THAT’s how good he is at deception and defeat. Within minutes, he had two people that were physically created by God Himself and communed with God daily, in person!!!!!!! Over a stupid piece of Fruit!!!!! And you think you can outsmart the devil?!? You cannot and even the thought that you can, is sin! It’s pride. See how he works?

I’m going to break down the most common ways he wins daily against us, or at least tries, and then show what the Bible says about each of these areas – they don’t teach this in church – God teaches this in the Bible. At least, I had never heard this growing up in any church…..another way he confuses and deceives…..YES, in the church!!!
