Scripture:

Genesis 3 vs 3

"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

Revelation 12 vs 7-9

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

57-0115 - God Keeps His Word

39 That’s the way the devil does. He shows you the bright side. And that kind of a bright side, if it doesn’t tally with God’s Word, is a mirage. You know what a mirage is. It’s “something that looks like it is”; it’s an “optical illusion.” So it isn’t there when you get there. You know, go down the road, it looks like water; when you get there, there’s no water. That’s the way the devil does you. He’s always promising something out yonder, out yonder, showing you something bright. When you get there, it’s never that way.

Stay with the Word, you’re on the line then. You’re in God’s Blueprint. Stay right there. What God says, no matter what it looks like, you don’t…Faith—faith is not what you see; it’s things you don’t see. You confess the things that you don’t see.
