Perceptions

Perceptions can often be an allusion; we perceive something to be true when in fact it is simply a lie. And yet there is nothing meek about any lie, its purpose, to deceive! All deception comes from the father of lies, the devil. He is the mystery of deceit, we know that he was created by God perfect in beauty and full of wisdom, but it was his wisdom that somehow puffed him up to challenge God’s authority. We see a lot of that in society, people challenging the authority of God. Whenever we challenge His Word we prove but one thing, “the apple doesn't fall far from the tree”. The devil challenged God and was banished from heaven. Doomed for a time that will eventually arrive, the Lake of Fire will be his final destination.

Those who challenge God’s authority, despise the Word of God, and the ones who claim to know so much, in fact really know so little about the Bible. Prior to salvation, we all carried the guises of our father the devil. That may be hard pill to swallow, but it must be digested if we are to find freedom in Christ. And yet it is impossible to understand our predicament prior to deliverance, it’s the goodness of God that leads a person towards repentance; the mysteries of God, who can know then.

We all see through a misted pane of glass, we comprehend shapes and colours but sometimes the distinct details of our surroundings are hard to distinguish. Without God’s intervention in our lives it would be impossible to come into a position of understanding, where we can with full assurance cry out “I can see”! Thank God for His mercy and grace, because of it, we see enough to press on toward the high calling of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, bless His name now and forever more, Amen and Amen!

The reality of our predicament is this, believe God and reject the counsel from the kingdom on Satan and all those who support his theories or suffer the demise, an eternity in the Lake of Fire. The reality of his destiny is as good as set in stone but the sad part of it all is those whom he will take with him and we must ask ourselves are we amongst that number? Pay careful attention; “And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15)  

Run with the masses at your own peril, twist the word of God to suit your lifestyle again at your specific liability. God does not change, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, period! He is perfect and perfection needs no adjustment.

Let me try and find association that we all might understand the urgency. A con man looks for his next con and yet in order to succeed he must initiates a plan of deception believed by the one whom he cons, right? Once the con is embraced it is too late, the damage is done. The secret is to expose the scam prior to the signature. And in this case prior to our deaths. We must come to our senses before we breathe our last breath here on earth. Miss out and eternity will not be escaped, but rather a world of hurt awaits.  Now the conmen who spin you this story, there is no hell don’t worry about it. Many of us do not come to the light because we have such sinful hearts and we are scared that the light of God will expose us for who we are. The conman says all will be well, forget about it. But God says “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

Now we are left with a choice, who will you believe and what will be your response?

I know this, it is the blind who lead the blind and both will fall into the ditch.

Thank you Father God for opening my eyes to your truth.
