the bigger the deception, the harder it is to accept the truth, particularly when the deception has been so carefully and lullingly orchestrated to the point that discovering the truth can leave us with broken pride and open eyes that have been tightly-closed for so long. Since Satan is the master of deception, he is brilliant at his craft, which is exactly why he is the momentary god of this world. He only tells truths to perpetuate lies, and today, his numerous lies abound, and his cunning is more effective than at any other time in the history of this world. Despite God placing us (the strongest spirits) on the earth at this time, the satanic programs are in place that pit man's views and philosophies against God's truths, lulling us into Gadianton's camp, blinding us to age-old secret combinations. However, where some of us are lulled, others go willingly, and no matter how many times the Lord exposes the truth, the natural man in us still chooses to lean on the arm of flesh instead of the arm of God - the very thing we have been counseled over and over NOT to do!
As I have said many times (and I will keep saying it) nothing done in the dark is ever hidden from God's eyes. The Lord longs to open the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, enrich the minds that are impaired, and shine the light of truth into both the deceived and self-deceived hearts. Knowing the truth is vital, because that truth will indeed make us free.
May we all pray for strengthened and increased spiritual discernment. May we fix our eyes on the Savior, that we may know Him, that He may open our eyes to Satan's deceptions and strengthen our armor for the battle we are now fighting against the surrounding powers of darkness, as well as the battles looming ahead.
