The Art of Persuasion

Now if you had an Enemy, or a nemisis who you are trying to destroy. How would you start to overthrow that person? Well, usually a person would learn everything from the inside to the outside to learn how that person works. The devil does the same thing. He knows the bible from left to right visverca. The devil wants to sererate you from god, and this is his goal. To over throw god. Now he would use any weakness you have or appetite that is your Kriptonite- if you will- to sin. The devil would even use Scripture to manipulate the person to sin or seperate you from god. In the begining of Matthew it says that Jesus Fasted For forty days and forty nights, as the devil tried to manipulate or persua Jesus into worshiping him. since the devil uses weakness against you, in this case it was temptation to eat and to worship the devil. for example in Matthew 4:3 "And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thou be the son of God, command these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that preoceedeth out of the mouth of God. then the devil taketh him up into the holy city , and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down for it is written, He shall give his angels charge conerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dath thy foot against a stone. Jesus Said unto him , it is written Thou Shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again the devil taketh him up unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto him, All these things will i give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. then saith Jesus unto him, get thee hence satan: for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve..."  the Devil was clearly tempting Christ to give into temptation while using scripture to manipulate Jesus. But Jesus knew his faith is a mountain that cannot be moved by no wind nor storm would budge his faith. people in history may use scripture to manipulate people into changing its meaning, for some use it against slaves to now when people use it for an excuse for their sins. It doesn't matter what the person talks about but how they present and how they use the information to convince the other to sin against one another.  Hitler was a Great Speaker when he spoke and how he spoke convinced a plethora of people. what he spoke about was wrong but how he spoke is what persued people to do what he wanted to do. Hence 50% of Jewish culture was killed. it seem as dramatic as the holocaust but it can be as simple as stealing chocolate bar at the store. or as simple as a thought of lust. the devil will take what you desire most or your biggest weakness against you and use it to destroy you. alcohol, weed, partying drugs, stealing. it may start out with smokeing weed. which for some people its no big deal. then drinking and partying. your at a party and a friend asks you to try a pill, its no biggy he is your friend and he wants you to have a good time. next thing you know your stealing money from your parents for drugs. persuasion starts small and it works its way up.  its what you do with the temptation is the important thing. its easy to say no ones perfect and im only human but thats the easy way out of an excuse.God gave you the power to say no and the will to avoid temptation. God is high then any High or any pleasure/happiness someone can get from anything. so the next time someone persuas you to do somethin that is wrong or when your own mind persuas you into sin, just find your way to get away from it or awknowledge the thought and stop yourself before your manipulated
