DECEPTION?

DECEPTION?

• Abracadabra…

• Hocus-pocus…

• PRESTO!!!

 Magicians are not the only ones with tricks up their sleeves. It’s hard at times to tell what’s true, and what’s not. Eat this, not that. Take these, not those. Follow us, not them. Trust Me and Sign It!

        TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION? Hmmm!

  Deception is all around us. To escape it is like trying to breathe clean air during a dust storm. Trickery is an effective tool of the enemy. It worked very well on Adam and Eve, and we are not exempt from its influences.

In today’s modern society, we have what is called “information overload.” With all the newspapers, television, Internet, and “expert” advice available; it can be difficult at times to know what to believe. We have to be careful not to open ourselves up to every whim and doctrine that presents itself. We have to monitor the things we let into our mind.

   Some people think it’s politically correct to be “Open-Minded.” Well, I like to think that I’m “Select-Minded.” I select what I will open my mind to.

      So, should we be troubled about everything that is happening in this hocus-pocus world? How can we tell if it involves us? How can we sort all this out?

Go to God and ask Him, “Is this something I should be concerned about as a Faith Believing Christian?” Purposefully listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say about the situation. Depend on Him to tell you which way to go and who you should trust. Read what He has to say about it in His Word. Wait for God’s Peace about the circumstances.  It takes diligence, and sometimes patience, but it’s worth it to get the TRUTH about a matter from THE ONE WHO KNOWS.    

The enemy will soon learn that he can’t Abracadabra us into believing his illegal suggestions (lies) without us first running them pass God.

                                             Think about this:

      Suppose Adam and Eve had gone to God before eating the fruit.

 DON’T put your trust and faith in magicians; PUT YOUR TRUST AND FAITH IN GOD.
