Deception has been an intricate part of the human experience since the beginning. Satan deceived Adam and Eve with daunting questions and shrewd dialogue.
Listen to Satan’s question in their conversation: “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” Eve replied, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat from the tree that is in the middle of the garden; you must not touch it, or you will die.’” Satan responded, “You will not surely die, for God knows that when you eat it, you will be like him knowing good and evil.”
Most individuals know when they are being deceived but become vulnerable to evil by hesitating to react. Listen to Jeremiah 7:4, “Do not listen to deceptive words.” Turn and walk away or the consequences will become a lifelong burden.
Remember this promise from God, “Resist Satan and he will flee from you.” When facing deception, call upon Jesus Christ, for he is your source for deliverance from evil.

And forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those
who have sinned against us. Don’t bring us into temptation, but deliver us from
the Evil One.
