King James Version
3 And he humbled thee,
and suffered thee to hunger,
and fed thee with manna,
which thou knewest not,
neither did thy fathers know;
that he might make thee know
that man doth not live by bread only,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Who influences us in this world?
Who makes us do things against GOD?
Who makes us doubt GOD's WORD?
Who makes us defy GOD's commandments?
Who confuses us?
Satan does.
Through our bodies.
Through our minds.
Through our needs.
Through our desires.
Through our greed.
Through our vanity.
With the objective of destroying us.
That unbelievers may not know the WORD of GOD.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
The enemy of CHRIST plucks the WORD planted in our hearts.
Depending where the seed falls.
Matthew 13:3-4
King James Version
3 And he spake many things unto them
in parables, saying,
Behold,
a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed,
some seeds fell by the way side,
and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Matthew 13:18-19
King James Version
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom,
and understandeth it not,
then cometh the wicked one,
and catcheth away
that which was sown in his heart.
This is he which received seed by the way side.
How to protect ourselves from his snare?
We must be born again.
That we may be guided by SPIRIT.
That we may know Scripture.
And not be tricked, or trapped, by the enemy.
Believers must obey GOD at all times.
We must focus on JESUS alone.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
James 4:7
King James Version
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.
1 John 4:4
King James Version
4 Ye are of God,
little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
