Deceptions

The next thing we have to rid ourselves of to live a Spirit-filled, overflowing life is the deception of the enemy.

In John 8:44, it calls the devil a liar. But not just a liar – it calls him the father of lies. This is quite a title and definitely not given to just the average liar. Our enemy is a master of deception. Realizing this should spark us into action to defend against all of the deceptions he brings through the world.

In Galatians 6:7-8, Paul tells the church to not be deceived. Even back then, and especially now, the enemy is at work skewing the Word of God, confusing His children, and blurring morals. We can’t let ourselves be victims of his masterful deceit.

Instead, we need to root ourselves in the truth of the Word of God. When we do this, we are less susceptible to the enemy's deception and can continue to walk in the will of God without wavering.
