Throughout history, Satan attempted to prevent the will of God from coming to pass by perverting the Word of God.

Starting from the beginning, the Word of God told Adam and Eve don’t eat of the tree of knowledge or you will surely die (Genesis 2:17). Satan prevents the will of God by perverting the Word of God and saying, you won’t surely die, but be like God (Genesis 3:4-5). During Jesus’ 40 day fast, Satan perverted the Word of God by using the Word improperly (Matthew 4). 

Unfortunately, Satan is still preventing the will of God through perversion today. For instance in marriage, Satan has taken God’s design of marriage, perverted its design and deceived the minds of people. Now anyone, same sex included, feels it’s their right to be married. Satan has perverted God’s creation of sex. Sex was originally designed to be meant for a husband (male) and wife (female) in holy matrimony. Now, sex has been perverted and anyone at anytime (married or not) feels like sex before marriage is justified. 

God shows us these parallels so that we’re not ignorant of Satan’s tricks of deception. Let’s open our eyes to these tricks, rebuke Satan’s plans, and declare God’s will in the earth. 
2 Corinthians 2:11 so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
