The Father of Lies!


John 8: 44 AMP
“You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.”

I read this in Uncle Screw tape’s advice to Wormwood, C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters. “The fact that “devils” are predominantly comic figures in the modern imagination will help you. If any faint suspicion of your existence begins to arise in his mind, suggest to him a picture of something in red tights, and persuade him that since he cannot believe in that (it is an old textbook method of confusing them) he, therefore, cannot believe in you.”

Let's be frank I don't like the Series "Lucifer" at all, I also made it clear that I do not want to give any honour to the devil but watching this nonsense, the kids, on the other hand, wanted to watch it because it was so good. At any rate, they still watch the series with me up in arms, still angry and upset by their actions.
I believe we miss the point when it comes to the devil, he is so smart, making us think he doesn't exist and we play right into his hands each and every time.

There are so much injustice, oppression and broken relationships in our world today. I also see how perverse people have become, I hear how "easy the girls are" it makes me sick. 

What happened to be kind, showing compassion towards one another? Now watching Lucifer the series you don't realise it but you are open a door for him to influence you with bastions of wickedness and he is helping you develop wrong ideas and beliefs.

How to deal with this problem? We need faith in God because we cannot fight him on our own. 1 Corinthians 10 verses 21 to 22 reminds us "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?" I cannot take the devils side and I won't take his side. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

You need to realise that the spiritual world is real. God exists and so does the devil. Do not be deceived by the devil Isaiah 5 verse 20 says "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Prayer

Heavenly Father, please open our eyes today and see Satan's lies. Please give us the discernment to see his work and help us to call on You Lord Jesus Christ in our hour of need. I pray this asking that nothing be covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known - Luke 12 verse 2. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each and every person reading my blog today as well as me. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
