Genesis 3 The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”
  “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”
“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.  Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
     In Genesis 3 we see that Satan, in the form of a serpent, spoke to Eve in such a way that suggested to her that what God had already told her about not eating the fruit from the forbidden tree wasn’t necessarily the truth. If you look closely at this, you can see that the moment Eve believed what Satan had told her she became deceived in her heart. I suppose that at this moment her personal pleasure was more important than listening to objective truth. Perhaps she had been influenced to believe that she didn’t need to be told what to do, but only what she wanted to do regardless of the warning. It is interesting to me that most women I have known certainly would not trust a snake, especially one that would talk! Yet Eve had yielded to the words of the snake despite God’s warning and ate the forbidden fruit. This may reveal a profound truth that before the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden, fear did not exist, since they had perfect communion with God. I believe that fear is a direct result of sin and disobedience to God. He had warned Adam about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil before Eve was created. Perhaps he may not have been convincing enough to his wife to heed the warning. There's a lesson here for husbands, to be responsible as head of the household to help keep deception from entering in to the family circle.
Christian wives; this is a great tool of challenge for your husband who may not know the Lord yet. You could ask him to help make sure he doesn’t allow Satan to bring deception onto you or your family. This could challenge him to seek God for himself though he may not know the Lord; this could result in his salvation and salvation for others in your  family as well.
After Adam and Eve’s sin and disobedience, their eyes were opened and they realized they had been deceived. Then when God attempted to talk with them after their disobedience, they were afraid and tried to hide among the trees of the garden. Fear was the immediate response to the call of God. This is such a simple truth, yet so deep. When you believe a lie, you become deceived. When you act on your deception, you become darkened to the truth. If you do not have the Spirit of truth living in you, you are subject to many deceptions. Even when you do have the Holy Spirit in you, Satan still tries to deceive you. His purpose is to steal the word from your heart before it becomes a living seed that will grow into maturity. That is why it is so important to give your heart daily to prayer and the study of God’s word. The word of God will make you wise to the schemes of Satan. Many have been devoted to destruction for a major portion of their lives. Jesus has a way to change all of that.
Look at Eve’s response to God in Genesis 3:13. She told God she had been deceived by the serpent to eat the fruit. After God’s presence came onto the scene, her deception was revealed. There is a connection between devotion and deception.
2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I am afraid lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray by the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” 
The Bible is very clear in it's purpose to illuminate your heart and life with truth, when you apply yourself to read it, and to believe the truths in it that will help you to avoid deception.
The key to victory is a heart wholly devoted to God, through devotion to His word.
And if that is correct, then that is what Satan will try to distract you from the most. Satan also has the ability to challenge you , but with a wrong motive. Devotion to truth is the best defense against the schemes of the enemy.
God desires you to become like Him. This accomplishment is only aquired through giving your heart to study His word.
That is when you begin to think like He thinks and act like He acts, because His word is the nature of who He is.
Being conformed into His image takes a decisive dedication to the truths that God has already set forth for you to discover.
Being ignorant of God's truth leaves your heart open to deception.
Being devoted to truth will become as a shield of defense against deception that you do not possess in your own strength.
Proverbs 21:30-31 " No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.
The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord."
God will enjoy imminent victory in the end. Will you be riding with Him?
