The enemy's work began in Genesis 3:1, "Yea, hath God said...?" All attacks begin at this premise.
If the enemy can't get you to question whether God has said something or not, or just exactly what God has said...or to not believe what God has said...he will change what God has said.
And he has many willing workers today doing just that.
Let me give an example of how Saints fold under the enemy's working...some say, "God understands. He won't mind if I get angry, get a divorce, take it out on the one who hurt me." All this is based on incorrect feelings, and denying God's Words. God has said, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil." (Ephesians 4:26-27). And God has said, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:3-12). And God has said, "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." (Matthew 18:21-22).
All of this is why it is so important for Saints to always be functioning in the Supernatural Spiritual Mind of God that we possess (1 Corinthians 2:16). Jesus told us that explicitly in Matthew chapter 13. In fact, Jesus was speaking then of our hearing from God, reading what God has given in His Word, all of the parabolic teaching in the Holy Scriptures. Only Saints in the Mind of God can know and understand what God has said.
The tragedy is that too many Saints don't know they have the Mind of God, or choose to function in the devilish old mind (natural mind, carnal mind - Romans 8:6-7) still present in Saints.
