Did God Really Say?

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say 'you must not eat from any tree in the garden?'"
Genesis 3:1

Satan knew exactly what he was doing when he asked Eve that question. It ultimately led to the fall of man. 

I think one of the biggest ways that Satan can attack us is with doubt and unbelief about what God has said to us in His word. We begin to blur the lines and black and white become gray, and we start to think "Did God really say that?" We especially see an increase of this in our culture and society, and even in the American church. 

Did God really say?.......
  • That He heals?
  • That miracles, signs and wonders will follow His believers?
  • That He knit me together in my mother's womb?
  • That He knows me better than I know myself?
  • That love is the greatest command?
  • That homosexuality is a sin?
  • That adultery is a sin, and that even a glance and thought is adulterous?
  • That we are to lay hands on the sick and heal in His name?
  • That my identity is found in Him?
  • That every life is precious?
  • That He loves me more than I can comprehend, no matter what?
  • That grace covers all?
  • That He created the world?
  • That we are given the Holy Spirit?
  • That we are to honor, respect, and pray for our husbands?
  • That a nation is blessed when God is Yahweh?
  • That we are to expectantly wait on and hope in the Lord?
  • That He keeps His promises?
  • That He knows what's best?
  • That He is faithful?
  • That He knows the plans He has for me?

Yes, yes, and yes! He said those things, He is who He says He is, and His word will not return void! There is no blur, no gray. He is truth.
