therapy right before the new year.

It was like the end of November.

And my therapist said something that was like, you a theologian, like you just know your Bible.

This is nuts.

And I was sharing with him a lot of wounds that I had and things that I'm walking through and things that I'm trying to discern and et cetera.

My therapist said to me, you see the enemy, the

Let me say this again.

You see the enemy only perverts you in two places and you see him face to face with two people in scripture and it's with Adam, it's with Jesus.

People are like, oh, well, how about Job?

Job would never witness Satan face to face.

Satan went to the Lord when he was in his throne room and Satan approached the throne room of God and advocated that he wanted to tempt Job.

But Job and Satan were never face to face.

The first time we see Satan face-to-face with someone in Scripture is with Adam, right?

And then the second time we see Satan face-to-face with somebody is Jesus, the second Adam.

And my therapist shared with me, he said, Emmy, the adversary will try to deceive you in the same two areas.

It's the authority of God's Word and who you belong to.

Because in the first Adam, we see that Satan was right in front of Adam's face, like...

Did God really say not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

Did he really say, insisting Adam to question the authority of God's word, the authority of what God has said?

And then we look at Jesus.
