Issue of deception


2 Corinthians 11:3     New English Translation

3 But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery,

your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

 

Deceived

 

Satan did not assail Eve’s heart but went straight to the mind

Evil spirits always go there, for it’s the weakest point of our being

Eve’s heart was really sinless, although there was great potential

To receive suggestive thoughts to make her choice towards believing

 

Unless a Christian learns how to repeal evil spirits in his mind

He will continually be tempted and proportionally deceived

In such situations, he will lose the sovereignty of his will

Until he becomes robotically, and truth can’t be retrieved
