Battle – Part 1

Exodus 17

The enemy’s two main battle tactics:

Fear

            Three major elements of fear:

1.              Danger

Mythbuster – God never told us He would keep us from danger. He told us His grace would be sufficient for us.

2.              Risk

Mythbuster – There can be no risk with God. The riskiest place for a believer to live is disengaged from God’s Kingdom.

3.              Pain

Mythbuster – Jesus never said that life in the Kingdom of God would be comfortable.

Deceit

            Three major areas of deceit:

1.              He questions the character of God.  Gen. 3:1

2.              He attacks the truth of God.                        Gen. 3:4

3.              He seeks to define us                                    Gen. 3:5
