The Good Series 1

Don’t Dialogue With The Devil

A very interesting and profound thing happened in the book of Genesis 3: 1-15, special emphasis on verses 8-15. Three characters were involved in that transaction that changed the destiny of mankind – Adam, his wife Eve and the Devil (serpent).

When God came in the evening, he asked Adam a question and waited for an answer, he also asked Eve a question and waited for an answer but when it got to the turn of the devil (serpent) he did not dialogue with him (he knew he will lie), he just told him what he needed to tell him.

The devil is a very old entity, he has seen and knows all the tricks and lies in the book, in fact he wrote them. When he introduces certain un-clean thoughts into your heart and mind, don’t dialogue with him, you may want to ask me why – because he can never ever tell you the truth, not because he wants to lie to you but because he hasn’t got the capacity to tell the truth, telling the truth is not in his nature, he doesn’t know what it is.

Once you try to dialogue with him, he will only tell you lies and deceit and am sure you know where those two always lead to. Don’t dialogue with him, just tell him what you need to tell him and shut him out of your heart and mind immediately.

This is what the bible said in Proverbs 4:23-24. I love how these 3 translations rendered it.

Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Never say anything that isn't true. Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words. (Good News Translation)

Keep vigilant watch over your heart, that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. (The Message Translation)

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. (New Living Translation)
