God gives His word to Adam and Eve, the first command; do not eat of that tree. The serpent asked, did God really say that? What's he doing? He is putting doubt and attacking the word. The woman goes on what she sees. The woman said, God told us not to eat of the tree or to touch it. He didn't say not to touch it, but the enemy says, you surely shall not die. He is taking away from the word of God. Notice that one adds to the word and one takes away from the word. Do you know what happens? When you change the word of God, when you alter it or dilute it, you end up with death. It's the old nature that bends the word of God, takes away from or adds to it. You might feel good for a moment, but it will take you to death. Do you want to live a life of fullness? Then believe God's word. Believe it beyond what you desire or want and it will always keep you in the ways of life and blessing, and far away from the serpent.
From Message #1269 - Old Fashioned Baal
The Bible is the dearest treasure in this world; the most precious of all books. Every verse, every line, every word in God's Word came from the mouth of God. It cannot be changed!
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:2
