Opening door for devil to attack

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Gen. 3 ...

1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

What is it that God really said about this tree?

Gen. 2 ...  15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 
16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 


You will notice Eve added to the Word of God and thereby misquoted God ... Eve added: "Neither shall ye touch it" ...

It seemed a good thing not to touch it and to add this but it opens door for Satan to attack.

Hath God said ... and Eve would know God didn't say part of what she quoted ...

So it is important for us to speak exactly what God has said if we are quoting what God said.

If we feel we need to add some instruction after the exact quote then we can do so without setting ourselves up to be attacked by devil (provided what we add is correctly stated).

This is just a part of speaking truth and truth is the first weapon stated in Eph. 6 in the whole armor of God ... We have to gird our loins with truth, surround ourselves with truth.  "Loins" would be the recreative part of our body ... that which is created by us must be truth ...

The devil is the father of lies and if there is any untruth in any thing we say we can give devil an entrance through the untruth for this is the devils domain.
