The devil told Eve she could not trust God and that God was hiding the truth from her. He caused her to lose trust in God. This is one of his favored tactics, placing doubts in people to ruin relationships.
The best way to weaken people is to leave them alone with no support system. However, when we have Christ living in us we are never alone He knows the truth about us and He tells the truth to us about everything and everyone else.
Satan only has power over us if we let him. We don't have to let him, we can ignore his tactics and follow God's principles in the Bible. We can seek the Holy Spirit any time of the day or night and He will warn us or enlighten us.
James 1:4-6 "…4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.…"
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you."
We know something is from God when it glorifies Him.
