Title: Discern The Voice Of Truth From Deception
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:14-15
Passage: ...Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness....
Thoughts: Alot of people are clueless when it comes to understanding the manipulation that Satan uses to attack and defeat them. And the main weapon he uses to do this is deception. False religion and witchcraft run rampant in our culture. Sometimes they can seem to appear so appealing and even godly... but yet their source is from the enemy! Jesus warned us about the satan and his schemes, saying, "He is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44). He'll use any scheme or opportunity to draw people away from the truth. The challenge for us is to be so thoroughly immersed in the Word of God, and to walk so closely with Jesus, that we know His voice. This is absolutely necessary to be able to recognize, and avoid following, the voice of a stranger (John 10). I want to encourage you today... be on your guard! There are many voices claiming to be the truth, but keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and you'll avoid falling into the trap of deception.
Immerse yourself in God's word and his presence and you will know the voice of truth from deception.
