14 ■ 7 KEYS TO ONE THOUSAND TIMES MORE<br />

hiding behind those bushes, in the form of a serpent,<br />

jealous, resentful and angry.<br />

Satan knew God.<br />

He knew the nature of God, giving.<br />

He knew the goal of God, relationship.<br />

He knew the desire of God, increase.<br />

He knew the pleasure of God, faith.<br />

He was fascinated with the gifts God possessed—<br />

power, creativity, authority and increase. Lacking those<br />

gifts <strong>to</strong>rmented him. It angered and confused him. So, he<br />

attempted <strong>to</strong> dethrone God <strong>to</strong> assume the authority of<br />

God.<br />

He lost everything because of it. Everything.<br />

Observing God enjoying Adam and Eve <strong>to</strong>rmented his<br />

heart. He knew that increase was in their future.<br />

Now, satan did not entrap Adam and Eve with the<br />

lie, "God does not really love you." They already knew<br />

better. Satan did not attempt <strong>to</strong> persuade them that God<br />

did not enjoy them. God walked with them every day.<br />

Satan deceived them by insinuating and implying<br />

that God resented their increase of knowledge and<br />

wisdom. "For God doth know that in the day ye eat<br />

thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be<br />

as gods, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5).<br />

Satan is still effectively marketing this same<br />

devastating lie <strong>to</strong>day.<br />

Millions of Christians are still blinded <strong>to</strong> the desires<br />

of God <strong>to</strong> give them increase. Vows of poverty are<br />

presumed <strong>to</strong> impress God. The opposite occurs. God is<br />

only impressed by faith, not self-destruction.<br />

The desire for increase was planted within you before<br />

your very birth. It is the nature of God within you—the<br />

nature of a Multiplier.
