The enemy tries continually to attack the promises of God, to hinder them and make them impossible. This applies in great matters as well as small. It applies to the things of God's tremendous plan of salvation that concern all people, as well as to personal promises to the individual. It is quite clear: whatever God wants to do in your life — the enemy will try to prevent it.

Martin looks with you at a not very well-known situation in the Old Testament, in which satan succeeded in making an unimaginably important promise of the coming Messiah impossible. Everyone saw that God's prophetic promises had become unworkable. It had, quite obviously, all been just wishful thinking; the ungodly system had triumphed …
But the situation had by no means slipped out of God's hands — and suddenly there was a surprise.

In you shall be blessed all the families of the earth! 
Genesis 12:3
