The snake in the garden is the beginning of every tragedy. Snake in the garden is declaration of war. Henceforth, wherever you encounter a snake, kill it. Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Jesus not only fought with the snake in the garden, he fought with the snake in the wilderness using the word of God – ‘it is written’.
