· Satan creates a wedge through doubt
· Adam participates in Rebellion against God
· Satan successfully created a divide Genesis 3:8,
· Satan used deception as a way to lead Adam and Eve into Rebellion.
· When we are considering rebellion, we are questioning the nature of God

· Matthew 26:39
· When Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, their lives changed forever., physically and spiritually
· One of their sons, commits the first murder.
· Rebellion breeds sin. When we take that first step, we don’t stop at one step.
· Why does Rebellion seem so attractive?
o First, we don’t always realize we are entering into rebellion. We rationalize or justify what we are about to do.
o Second, our desire to obtain what the rebellion provides becomes more important than what God provides.
o Third, we aren’t willing to be honest with ourselves that our rebellion is taking us to a place that is drawing us further from God.
o Fourth, we would rather continue in rebellion than have to admit we are involved in things we should not be.
o Fifth, we have become so engaged in what we are receiving, that we no longer want a relationship with God.
· Rebellion is turning our back on God. Rebellion is the source of evil. Satan is the father of lies and everything he offers is a lie.
· So why do so many people fall for this trap from Satan?
o Satan rebelled from God as a result of his pride and his desire to become God
o Satan uses our weaknesses against us to pull us into rebellion.
· Here is how God views the rebellion of man:
o 1 Samuel 15:23.
o Proverbs 17:11,
· We need to wake up as a church. We need to see Satan for what He is, a void, a darkness that offers us nothing in rebellion. God is the provider of all things. Rebellion is death. God is life.
· John 10:10.
