"Don't Be Deceived"

We all know the Truth because we read God's Word and it is true. The Spirit confirms it is true. So why are we sometimes deceived? Why do we have a tendency to believe the lie even though we know without a shadow of a doubt that the opposite is true?

Why? Because of our Flesh.

We are encased in it. Our soul is willing but sometimes our flesh is too weak. We are susceptible to lies because this was our mistake at the beginning of our days with Adam and Eve, we chose to believe that lie from Satan. My tattoo artist the other day was explaining to me that "It's not sin itself we battle with, it's our tendency to believe a lie." - Christopher Perrin; so we have to reverse this character flaw in ourselves. The only way that is done is through strengthening of the spirit and a renewal of our mind. We should continually feed and nourish our spirits so that we can walk in that rather than our flesh.

I went through this very thing last night and many of you came to my side which is beautiful. I needed the encouragement, love and support to help me continue walking by Faith. None of us are without this flaw from the times of Adam and Eve, but by developing a stronger relationship with The Holy Spirit, He will begin to develop in us a new character in Jesus. And we will eventually, believe the enemies lies less and less until he is a faint voice that dwindles to almost nothing in the background of God's almighty Truth.

See; the devil wishes he had the power to create but he doesn't. He cannot create anything. He can only distort. He is limited to trickery, hoping to fool us. But he has no real power. Just smoke and mirrors, all huff and puff but can't blow our house down. Not if we build our house on a sturdy foundation; strong in His word. Not if we let the spirit dwell within our home (our soul); and allow God to work in and throughout our mind, renewing it. The enemy has no power, only the perversion of God's truth.

He is a LIAR!

I am proclaiming today that what the enemy attempted to do to me yesterday to throw me off God's plan for my life, that God will take that and use it to further His plan even more! He is faithful. He is the Truth! He has the final say in my destiny and so long as I don't get in my own way and keep denying the lie, He will take me places that I could never even fathom.

So if you are going through the same thing I was last night, be encouraged just as I am this morning! Don't let the deception of the enemy keep you from God's best.

We know the Truth. We know from where our help comes! We just have to walk in that Truth. Be blessed.
