A Mother’s Enmity
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel." Genesis 3:15
“Enmity” is not a light word
It means intense hostility
There is no greater warrior than a mother protecting her child
Who crushes deception with a vengeance under her heel
And gently loves her children in her arms

A Mother’s Enmity
It is hard to think of a greater
sorrow than taking a mother’s child.
The loss of a child is off the chart
on the 1 to 10 pain scale.
A mother’s loss through death or rebellion
goes deep into the heart of emotion.
Who can count the tears a
mother will cry in a life time?
In the Genesis account of creation,
God addresses Satan, Adam and Eve after
the eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
God addresses Satan first in Genesis 3:14.
Because Satan was so crafty to deceive Eve,
Satan will continue to live this low life
existence like a snake on the ground.
He will eat the dust of the earth, this picture of dust
is man, which God made from the dust of the earth.
Verse 15 reveals a deeper look into this
relationship between Satan and women.
Before we go on it is important to note
these verses have significant spiritual meaning.
The scripture are full of prophetic insight
into the serpent, the woman and her offspring.
As important and enjoyable
it is to see the spiritual meaning…
It is also important we see how these
events practically effect our lives every day.
Genesis 3:15 says…
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel."
“Enmity” is not a light word.
It means intense hostility.
It comes from the same Latin root as enemy.
Satan is determined to take a mother’s child
and he will do it in very cunning and crafty ways…
Because of Satan’s hatred for God and His creation.
Satan’s goal is to be the father of every mother’s child…
You belong to your father, the devil,
and you want to carry out your father's
desire.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language,
for he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44
Satan is the father of lies and
God is the Father of Truth.
God and Satan have their own language
and they are very different.
If you are a mother, you know a major part
of your role is to protect your children.
You also know that like a snake in the grass,
harm can sneak into your children’s lives.
As a mother it is not the most obvious
but the subtle ways you must be aware of.
Every mother looks forward to the first
words of their child and continue to teach
them the language so you can communicate.
The world you are raising your children in
has learned the language of the father of lies.
The cunning serpent has turned children
against parents, destroyed our children’s
lives with addictions, hatred, immorality.
The serpent, father of lies is abducting our children.
Maybe this is why more women
dislike snakes than men.
Mothers you have an enemy.
It is good for you to have an
intense hostility for the father of lies.
There is hope.
There is One who will fight for you.
He will bruise and tread your head underfoot,
and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel
Genesis 3:15
Jesus has come to put His
heel on the serpent’s head.
Mothers it is important you teach
your children the language of truth…
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
John 8:42-43
Make the language of our Creator,
our Heavenly Father, clear to your children.
Recognize the language of the serpent.
Recognize the crafty and cunning
devices he uses to lie to your children.
The Bible says to the pregnant woman…
And listen! You will become pregnant
and will give birth to a Son,
and you shall call His name Jesus.
Luke 1:31 AMP
This Child not only crushed the serpent’s head…
But leads a Kingdom where true
family guidelines are kept.
For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given;
and the government shall be upon His shoulder,
and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace
Isaiah 9:6 AMP
Your help is coming.
And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with you.
Romans 16:20 AMP
Remember when the battle rages…
To obey God.
So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman,
and he went away to wage war on the remainder of her descendants
— [on those] who obey God's commandments
and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ
[and adhere to it and bear witness to Him].
Revelation 12:17 AMP
“There is no greater warrior than
a mother protecting her children”
Scripture Reading
Genesis 3:14-15 AMP
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all [domestic] animals and above every [wild] living thing of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust [and what it contains] all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel. [Galatians 4:4.]
