“Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” Colossians 3:9-10.
Words are very powerful because what we hear can make or break us depending on what we do with the words heard. The devil cannot make you do anything but he can plant thoughts in your mind through what you hear. He will question what you know by offering a different view and if you are not steadfast about what you believe he will create doubt in your mind. Eventually you will act on the thoughts because as a person thinks, he is or becomes (Proverbs 23:7).
Satan defeated humans in the Garden of Eden through use of words. His words created doubt in Eve and she eventually acted on the words, Genesis 3:1-6. God had already spoken His word concerning the things that Satan tempted Eve with, but she allowed herself to ponder on Satan’s words and the more she thought about them the more swayed she was and eventually she succumbed to the words.
It is not surprising that God had to send His word to repair the damage done in the Garden of Eden. Jesus is the word of God which was and is. Apostle John writes, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God” John 1:1-2.
