Don’t Give the Devil a Foothold | “Did God Really Say?”

"Did God really say"?That one question was the first deception in history. The serpent did not need a full lie. He only needed a foothold. Once Eve answered the door, the rest of Genesis 3 was already in motion.

In this message, Stewart Green opens Genesis 3 and shows how the devil still works the same way today — sowing doubt, mixing truth with a lie, making sin look better than obedience, then leaving shame and separation behind.

If you have been entertaining thoughts you should have shut down, battling the same sin, or hiding from God, this word is for you.

In this message we look at:

• Genesis 3 — the first deception and the fall

• Proverbs 4:23 — guard your heart; it is the doorway of your life

• 1 John 4:1 — test the spirits

• James 1:13–16 — how desire gives birth to sin

• James 4:7 — submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee

• Romans 6:23 — the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life

• Revelation 3:20 — Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart

You are not subject to the devil by default. Do not pretend he is not there. Do not get up to answer the door.
