Questions

Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Notice carefully here that God did not ask Adam why he had disobeyed. God asks Adam who told you. Was God asking Adam about eating the fruit or listening to the liar? The accusation of the disobedience came after the question of the conversations that came before the act.

Whose voice do we hear?

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Here is one interesting point which we might overlook. Jesus said “I know them”. This not only indicates relationship but also implies that He does not lead someone else’s sheep. The issue here is clear, that in order to recognize His voice, you must first become one of His.

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

This warning from John is to believers. This means we can hear that spirit of antichrist. It is speaking against Christ. This is the meaning of anti, against. It opposes the Word of God.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Satan knew us in the flesh long before we came to Christ and Satan uses every advantage in the flesh to bring lying controversies to our minds. He opposes the Spirit at every turn. Now I would like to share with you the secret in how to still Satan’s voice where you cannot even hear him.

Leviticus 11:44a,b For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy:

One thought on “Questions”

  1. Excellent!!
    How easily we gloss over key details, such as “who told you.” I had not considered that before.
