The Power Of Truth | Episode 9 | Adam & Eve

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the ninth episode of "The Power Of Truth," Duane Sheriff teaches the timeless battle between light and darkness. The story of Eve's deception in Genesis 3 is a powerful reminder of how subtle lies can lead us astray. We learn that the enemy's tactics haven't changed - questioning God's word, contradicting His truth, and sowing suspicion about His character.

Genesis 3 describes how the serpent deceived Eve by subtly questioning God's word. The serpent's method involved three steps: questioning God's command ("Hath God said?"), contradicting it and then suggesting that God is withholding something good. This approach led Eve to doubt God's intentions and ultimately disobey Him.

In John 8:31-32, Jesus says that knowing the truth will set us free. In contrast to the truth, deception enslaves and leads to tyranny. These tactics are still prevalent today, often seen in media and the cultural narratives that challenge God's truths. Our current cultural struggles today can be traced back to this ancient pattern of questioning and disregarding God's word.

The role of the Holy Spirit in John 16:13 is described as the "Spirit of truth." Unlike the devil, who leads people astray with lies, the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth. Embrace the truth and become a beacon of light in a darkened world.
