What has worked for Satan in the past is what will work for him in the future. We must not be naive to

think that he is not actively applying his subtle substitute for the truth in the present. I believe this

prophetic warning from the apostle Paul presents to us how Satan is presently getting God’s people to eat

of the Tree of he Knowledge of Good and Evil rather than being supernaturally sustained by the Tree of

Life: “AS YOU HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK IN HIM,
ROOTED AND BUILT UP AND ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, AS YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT,
ABOUNDING IN IT WITH THANKSGIVING. BEWARE LEST ANYONE CHEAT YOU THROUGH

PHILOSOPHY AND EMPTY DECEIT, ACCORDING TO THE TRADITION OF MEN,
ACCORDING TO THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE WORLD,
AND NOT ACCORDING TO CHRIST.” Col. 2:6-8

PHILOSOPHY THE LIE TRADITION OF MEN

THE LIE BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF THE WORLD
EMPTY DECEIT
This is the “fruit” being manifested
The world in which we live is under presently by those in the world as well
the sway and guidance of the
wicked one. It’s influence stems as in the church who choose to eat
from these four Satanically-inspired from the Tree of the Knowledge of
principles.
Good and Evil.

“…EVERY GOOD TREE BEARS GOOD FRUIT, BUT A BAD TREE BEARS BAD FRUIT.
A GOOD TREE CANNOT BEAR BAD FRUIT, NOR CAN A BAD TREE BEAR GOOD FRUIT…

THEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.” Mat. 7:17-20
