DEVIL FATHER OF LIES

The devil is the father of lies(John 8:44)

John 8:44

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 

His cunning(Genesis 3:1)and uses DECEPTION to AVENGE since he knows he has short time.

Genesis 3:1

Now the serpent was MORE CUNNING than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

Revelation 12:12

"..................For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Revelation 12:17

 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

In the garden of Eden, the first lie was " you will surely not die"

Genesis 3:4

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

When his deceiving, he uses sweet words till your fully convinced. By this, Eve saw the fruit was good for food and pleasant to her eyes and ate 

Genesis 3:6

 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 

This led man to be chased in the garden of Eden and since from that day sin entered into the world and brought death.

Romans 5:12

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

Church of God, I remind you. The hours we are living are dangerous since time is short. The devil neither sleeps nor slumbers nor rest.

Job 1:7, Job 2:2

And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”

Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

His busy avenging through deception just to win souls who will join him and his fallen angels in the lake of fire. Our Lord Jesus warned about this when he mentioned about the rise of false Christ's and servants as a sign of end times

Matthew 24:23-25

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.

Mark 13:4-6

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

Is it not happening today? OF COURSE, YES!!!

The lying spirit is all over the world. The rise of saw called anointed servants selling blessed products at market price. This has led to practice of sorcery in the church( occultism in the church).

Know your pastor well and test whether the power in him is from God.

1 John 4:1-2

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

Again, the devil uses our weakness to deceive us. Every open door in our lives acts as an opening chance for the devil to control and manipulate us.

Samson could not keep his strength secret due to his weakness so at the end he revealed out his secret? (Judges 16:1-21)

Same today, there Delilah's in our generation, be warned?

Kill the flesh, for its the tool the devil uses. Apostle Paul reminds us we should live by the Spirit, for those in flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:5-8

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

 

Romans 8:13-14

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 

The devil is so wicked and hates Christians with passion. Let's be watchful for he roars like an angry lion ready to devour( 1 Peter 5:8) resisting him and he will flee from you( James 4:7).

Let's be obedient to our Lord Jesus Christ walking in His character, HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS. LET THE WORD OF GOD BE OUR GUIDE FOR IT GIVES US THE MIND OF CHRIST JESUS, ALSO LET'S PRAY WITHOUT CEASING( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17), ENGAGE IN FASTING AND ABOVE ALL LET'S NOT QUENCH NOR GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:19, EPHESIANS 4:30)

1 Thessalonians 5:19

Do not quench the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:30

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Lastly, know the KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT EATING AND DRINKING

Romans 14:17

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
