According to Faith

Overcoming Judgement, Condemnation, Self-Righteousness

1) Pleasing to the eye

Genesis 3:1 

• Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom
• If you have bondage anywhere, it’s because the spirit of the Lord is not there. Give it to Him so He can reign as God over all of those things
• (verse 1) the enemy = the serpeant, the father of lies

Purpose : to kill, steal, destroy

• There are deamons in Christians (Peter, Christ from cross)

Bible says: “satan entered him”

• He got Adam and Eve to question the character of God, question the Word of God
• - Struggles planted to get you to question God
• (23 min) Martin Luther King - denominations. Used to separate

• First plan of attack: question God when you’re on the right track
• as far as the east is from the west, he remembers sin no more
• if you disobey as Adam and Eve did it leads to destruction

• 2) Pride has led many to destruction
• - Seduction always looks and sounds good: until you bite the fruit and then it bites you

You have a choice: God -or-the enemy

(ex: Star Wars)

(31 min) If you have: doubt, fear, unbelief…. You are on the wrong path

Look inside you and ask God where you have this in you - remove it so you are not led to the slaughter house (destruction)

(33 min) You think goodness gets you to Him? NO

Bible says: our righteousness is nothing but filthy rags

• - It is NOT by your good works
• - It is WHO you are following and WHO are you being led by?

Bible says: (Jesus/God said) “I don’t even know you”

Don’t react to fear - bow down to God and give Him your fear and repent

Says in Chronicles: rich in mercy, slow to anger

If you question your God, you will definitely question yourself 

Genesis 3:9  - Who told you ___?

Who will you bow to? If you bow to a lie, you will never know truth/proclaim truth/plans God has for you. Know your opponents plan and beat him at his own game.

How the enemy seduces you:

• 1. Pride: being above it all or desiring to be above it all
• 2. Question
• 3. Idleness
• 4. Apathetic
• 5. Distractions (crisis management - high drama)
• 6. Stress, anxiety, worry
• 7. Greed
• 8. Shame, guilt
• 9. Condemnation
• 10. Sexual temptation

Tell him to SHUT UP and go to HELL where he belongs!!

Galatians 5:1

James 4:7 (resist devil and he will flee)

Repent and turn the other way

Eph 6:11

1 Cor 10:4-5

Quickest way to defeat enemy:

Isa 1:18-20

1 John 1:9

1 Pet 5:6

1. Confess sins and as for forgiveness
2. Humble yourself
3. Willing and obedient (cast all cares upon Him)
