Who to Believe


In Genesis 3: 1-5  is the story about how the serpent ( the devil, Satan, liar) deceives Eve.
He speaks in 3:1 and again v. 4-5. In this story the serpent speaks  about 45 words. ( KJV)
Now in Job 1: 6-12, the story is about how God and Satan are speaking about Job.
Job 2: 1-10 is how Satan has come back and talks with God again about Job and in
both chapters Satan speaks about 131 words. ( KJV)
Now in Matthew 4: 1-11 , this is the story of how Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan.
and he speaks a total of about 71 words.  so in scriptures out of the KJV Bible  we have a total
of about 247 words that Satan speaks...
Yes, Satan is spoken about but I am talking about him speaking the words. Satan is NOT God...

Why do we give Satan so much time and power over us?  He is really nothing but a deceiver.
We give way to much credit to him... Why , if we are saying  we are a Christian  do we believe
Satan more that what God has said?   God does not want us to live in want...... nor in lies... Satan
wants you to need  and he will lie to you about EVERYTHING!

So who do you believe; God or Satan?   Have you ever thought about what God has promised you?
Have you ever thought about what God has already done for you?  He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ
here to die for YOUR sins ( yes mine too) and if nothing else was ever promised that should be enough.
But, He has promised so much more.  Read John 3:16 .     He promised everlasting life.. Wow!  We
get to live with Him forever!!    1 John 4:4  ; " greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world"
He also promises to send a Comforter to you to abide with you for ever..  John 14:16.   So many promises
if we would just see them.. Please check out the Word for yourself  and see.  I am still in the learning mode myself..... I do know that the choice is up to  me and to you to make,   who to follow... I am learning to
lean on Jesus Christ and I will follow Him...

Satan is a liar and that is the choice he made... PLEASE  don't let him make that choice for you....
God loves you.  God is Love..God loves you..

Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet...
