Once you're focus on what you don't have, rather than what God has done, you have just joined enemy territory.

Dr. Tony Evans says self-centered dissatisfaction head you on a path away from the Creator.

That is a trick of the Devil to cause you the mist, the goodness of God.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Magicians use misdirection to shift our focus away from where the trick is actually being done.

Dr. Evans says Satan uses the same technique with us, and today he shows us how to see beyond

that sleight of hand.

Let's join him in the first chapter of Genesis.

Verse 26 says, then God said, let us make man in our own image according to our likeness.

Let them rule over the fish of the sea, birds to the sky, cattle,

and all the earth and over all every creeping thing that creeps on the earth and

God created man in his own image in the image of God he created

him male and female he created them and God bless them and God said to them be

fruitful and multiply and fill the earth, subdue it and you rule over the fish of the sea

and the birds of the air, and over every living thing

that moves over the earth.

I hope you caught that.

God comes into Satan's territory, creates man and says man you're

in charge here now. Man the lesser because no man is equal to an angel has been made in charge by the voice of God

over the greater over his house called Planet Earth and Satan says not in this house you don't. That's why chapter 2 is

so important. Verse 9. Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing in the sight and good for food.

The tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
