    Study Notes

    Evil's Strategy of Division

    • Evil's ultimate goal is to divide individuals from God, each other, and themselves.
    • It achieves this through distraction, discouragement, distortion, and doubt.
    • This division leads to feelings of anxiety, fear, stress, and isolation.
    • The Five D's (Distraction, Discouragement, Distortion, Doubt, Division) are used by the enemy to defeat.

    Impact of Division

    • Division from God, like that experienced by Adam and Eve, results in feelings of fear, shame, guilt.
    • Individuals often hide from God instead of seeking solace.
    • This leads to separation, disconnection, and a host of related problems.
    • Division is evident in the world: political, racial, interpersonal, family divisions.
    • Evil exploits differences to further divide people.

    Overcoming Division

    • The enemy targets differences to divide, but we are fundamentally united as souls.
    • God created us to be one.
    • The opposition's ultimate goal is to divide to win, but there's a way to win.
    • Individuals have a choice to overcome the enemy's tactics.
    • The Tree of Life contrasts with the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; God offers a choice.
