People of God there are only two opposing forces in the universe. The Truth and the Liar. When we talk about the lies people think they are out there in the world. No its all playing out in the church. There is the true bride of Christ but there is also a false bride. The true bride that knows the groom, talks to him daily and is part of him. And another false bride that hates the Holy Spirit and tries to leave separately from the groom.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth
(John 14:6). The devil however is active in church as the liar and the murderer. Read here: John 8:44 (NLT) “For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He
has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
The devil from the beginning started building his kingdom of lies. Remember from Genesis 3:1-5
he deceived Adam and Eve and they chose human effort over the Grace of God and Eternal life through Jesus Christ.
In his kingdom of lies, satan persuades people to believe that they will please God based on their own actions. That is tithing, keeping Sabbaths, seeding, paying for impartations of the holy Spirit etc. He cleverly removes Jesus (who is our life) from being the center of Christian worship and adoration.
We already know that the devil shall be completely killed by our Lord Jesus. Read here: 2 Thessalonians 2:8 (GNB) “Then the Wicked One will be revealed, but when the Lord Jesus comes, he will kill him with the breath from his mouth and destroy him with his dazzling presence.”
In the mean time the kingdom of the liar and murderer satan, is building churches, establishing religions and funding schools of thought. He deceives those who are eager to find temporary solutions without building a relationship with Jesus Christ. Read here: 2 Thessalonians 2:9(NLT) “This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.”
Satan deceives those who are already on their way to hell. Not the elect. Check with
2 Thessalonians 2:10 (NLT) “He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.”Compare with Revelation 16:14 and 2 Corinthians 11:3, 14-5. Also compare with Revelation 12:9, Revelation 20:3,8,10.
*One of the most common deceptions in church today is that of postponement* . People wait for what they were already given. God already gave us Christ to live through us and in us. We are not waiting to see Him one day. God already blessed us with all blessings on earth and in heavenly places. God already chose us, we are not waiting to be chosen. *Also not a few will be chosen but all who believe*.
God already made us holy, righteous and pure. In as much as we yearn for heaven we know that by God’s grace and through Christ we are already sitting in heavenly places together with Christ.
But satan makes people wait for what they were already given. We have dominion over evil spirits now and today, we have the favor of God even without fasting for it. We are Christ manifesting in the flesh. The very presence of God. We do not hope to experience God’s love one day. We are the very manifestation of His love. We have all things needed for a glorious life through Christ right here, right now!!
But satan’s kingdom fills our hearts with
lies, check with Acts 5:3
Compare with Luke 22:31. We are the glory of God, the kingdom of God is already manifesting through us. We will not be denied our kingdom privileges and rights and children of God. So the kingdom of lies is therefore defeated by the Truth, even Christ Jesus whose life is our light.
I leave you to meditate on this beautiful scripture: John 10:10
(NLT) “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
