Are You Being Deceived?

No one likes to be deceived. Synonyms for deceived are tricked and betrayed. If you have ever been tricked or betrayed, you know that deception can make you very angry. Worst than that, deception can cost you greatly, even to the point of costing you your life.

Satan is the Arch-Deceiver. His desire is to trick you into believing a lie. Then, once you believe the lie, he betrays you, leaving you to the suffering, destruction, and even death that believing the lie has caused you.

One of the biggest lies that Satan uses to deceive is the lie that he doesn't exist. If you believe he doesn't exist, you won't be on the lookout for him. You won't consider him your enemy if you believe he doesn't exist.

The truth is that Satan does exist, and he is continually trying to thwart God's destiny for your life.

What is God's destiny for you?  It is that you have a wonderful relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

God wants to bless you. Why? Because He loves you. 

God created you for Himself.  He wants you to be His child, and He wants to be your Father.

Satan hates this truth. Satan hates God and everything associated with God. For this reason, Satan wants to get back at God by destroying God's creation; namely, YOU!

My prayer is that you will recognize Satan's deception in your life. To do this, you will need God's power that becomes yours when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Jesus Christ is the only way by which you can establish a relationship with God the Father.  You see, Jesus Christ represented you on the Cross at Calvary.  He took your place. By rights, you and I should have been condemned to hell because of our sins.  But Jesus gave His life in our place so that we would not have to spend eternity in hell.

Once you receive Jesus Christ, you become a new creature on the inside.  The new creature you become is able to see the things of the spirit and to understand them. Until you accept Christ, you will not be able to understand the things that pertain to God. You will not be able to discern truth from error.

Accept Jesus Christ today as your Savior.  He is coming back to earth soon.  Only those who have received Him will be saved.  All others will go to hell.

So, stop being deceived. You owe it to yourself to check out what I am saying. Do your own research. Ask God to show you the truth.  When I did, He did.
