Hello jhardy, When satan beguiled Eve in the garden he used the desires of the flesh. As Gen 3:6 relates, And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat.... This is commonly listed as the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Satan incites our fleshly desires within us as he attempts to deceive us with the lies of worldly wisdom that comes mostly through unbelievers in the world around us. Satan is unable to read our thoughts, and he is unable to control us. He makes suggestions and the battle is waged within our own minds. We are the one who make the decision to follow God's Word or follow our own wisdom and desires. That is where Adam went wrong. In Gen 3:17 God chastises Adam, saying, " Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:" I should add here that God was not angry at Adam for listening to his wife, He was angry because Adam chose to listen to his wife instead of the command from God. Satan also can physically afflict us or ones that we love with illness, crime, disasters, such as he did with Job, but he was only allowed to go as far as God gave him permission to go. Nowadays satan continuously attempts to deceive us with a false Jesus and a false gospel through false Christians. He is the father of lies. God is always true. Man is often wrong. satan mixes truth with lies in an attempt to deceive. |
