When the question comes in such a simple way, the obvious answermust be,

"Well, He didn't really mean . . ." With that reaction, Satan has established a stronghold in your mind, and it takes little for him to move you from there to a total lack of belief.

I've spoken with people who were led astray in just such a way. They started out as faithful, committed followers of Jesus Christ. But as Satan planted doubt and unbelief in their hearts, they turned their backs on spiritual things. One man said, "I was simple and naïve in those days. I believed anything I heard. I know better now." Satan robbed him of his faith and, in the process, stole his joy and hope.I am familiar with this battle. Because of my ministry, some people think I have everything all worked out and never have to battle for my faith. I can tell you that no Christian reaches that place this side of heaven. As soon as we let our guard down, even in the slightest, Satan sneaks up behind us and starts whispering his lies to us.

That may be the reason the story of Abraham is such an encouragement to me. When I have my battles with faith and taking God totally at His Word, I often go back and read Romans 4. The example of that godly man is absolutely amazing to me. In the natural, everything appeared to be against God's promises to Abraham. I'm sure Abraham's friends laughed when he said, "God will give me a son." Satan's scoffers must have been in place every day, but Abraham stood the test. The Bible says, "He did not weaken in faith . . . but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God" (vs. 19-20). I love that statement.
