Hath God Said?

THE BATTLE FOR THE MIND BEGAN LONG BEFORE THE FIRST HUMAN SIN.

"Yea, hath God said?" - Genesis 3:1

The serpent asked a question that was far more than a simple challenge to a command. The serpent challenged God's authority over his Word, the nature of God as Creator, and the basis of the relationship between God and man that is required for obedience.

Waicuga Kinyoro's first book in the "Battle of the Mind" series, "Hath God Said?" provides a historical perspective of the Great Controversy by examining the Biblical basis of this struggle and how it still affects each individual's mind today.

This book explores the basic concepts of spiritual deception, distortion of truth, and a person's decision about whom to serve spiritually. The author examines these concepts through the perspective of both Lucifer rebelling against God in Heaven, as well as the serpent tricking Eve into eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

DISCOVER THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE BATTLE FOR THE MIND

Through Scripture-centered theological study, this book explores:

The War Prior To Eden: The revolt in Heaven and the challenge to God's Character, His Law, and His Government.

Two Voices Speaking At The Same Time On One Tree: The Serpent Questioned God's Word, Then Redirected Eve's Thoughts About Truth, Freedom, And Obedience.

The Temple and the Citadel: The human being is considered to be God's temple. In this sense, the mind represents a metaphorical central point for the activities of thinking, judging, having a conscience, and making choices.

How the Enemy Writes: Influence of attention, imagination, repetition of thought processes, habit formation, desensitization and cultural factors in developing characters and their spiritual loyalties.

Jesus Christ's Victory: Why we cannot overcome deception through our own efforts (self-reliance) or willpower; rather, we need Jesus Christ to save us and God's transforming grace to change us.

WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERS TODAY

In an environment where many competing views exist, along with persuasive arguments, continuous interruptions, and ever-changing definitions of truth; the question asked by Eden is still applicable today: Whose voice will establish reality and whose authority will direct the human heart?

The purpose of this book is to explore how the issue raised above can be examined within the context of the Great Controversy from a biblical perspective. The author connects the story of Eden with the larger issues of redemption, obedience, worship and restoration.

It also has a significant separation of spiritual accountability from mental distress. Our mental battles are not to cause confusion regarding whether we are experiencing a sickness (a disorder) or rebelling against God, nor are they to be confused with being tempted and giving in to that temptation.

Deception is just the beginning. Redemption's promise is beyond man's initial defeat and towards Jesus Christ, whose death is central to the Christian faith.

"Hath God Said?" encourages readers to explore the root causes of the battle, identify the tactics used by those who deceive us, rely on God's Word as our ultimate source of truth, and realize that we will never achieve victory over our spiritual enemies until we place Jesus Christ at the center of our lives.
