Those
who
have
seen
the
Wizard
of
Oz
may
remember
the
frightful
scene
where
Dorothy,
the
Lion,
the
Tin
Man
and
the
Scare
Crow
entered
into
the
large
room
and
shook
in
fear
when
they
saw
fire
and
smoke,
and
a
threatening
image
of
someone
speaking
in
a
very
loud
and
authoritative
voice.
Eventually,
Dorothy’s
little
dog
Toto
pulled
back
the
curtain
to
reveal
the
lie—because
everything
was
a
deception—as
buttons
were
pushed,
levers
were
pulled,
and the ominous face and thunderous voice were manipulated to intimidate.
Like
Toto,
during
this
lesson
we
will
pull
back
the
curtain
to
reveal
Satan’s
lies—including
the
consequences
of
his
lies.
As
we
enter
into
the
last
days,
we
will
witness
a
continual
increase
in
deception
as
the
Beast
(the
coming
lawless
one)
will
transform
into
the
living
personification
of
Satan.
But
what’s
more,
those
who
reject
the
truth
of
Jesus
Christ
will
become a victim of Satan’s delusional deception.
The
coming
of
the
lawless
one
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan,
with
all
power,
signs,
and
lying
wonder
s,
and
with
all
unrighteous
deception
among
those
who
perish,
because
they
did
not
receive
the
love
of
the
truth,
that
they
might
be
saved.
And
for
this
reason
God
will
send
them
strong
delusion
,
that
they
should
believe
the
lie,
that
they
all
may
be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
Jesus Warned About Deception During the Last Days
The
disciples
asked
Jesus
about
the
last
days.
What’s
revealing,
His
first
response
was
a
warning
about
deception.
“Now
as
He
sat
on
the
Mount
of
Olives,
the
disciples
came
to
Him
privately,
saying,
‘Tell
us,
when
will
these
things
be?
And
what
will
be
the
sign
of
Your
coming,
and
of
the
end
of
the
age?’
And
Jesus
answered
and
said
to
them:
‘Take
heed that no one deceives you.’” Matthew 24:3-4
Deception
is
defined
as
causing
someone
to
accept
as
true
or
valid
what
is
false
or
invalid.
A
deception
misleads,
hides
the
truth;
or
promotes
a
belief,
concept
or
idea
that
is
not
true.
But
most
important,
a
deception
is
based
upon
a
lie.
To
gain
a
broader
spiritual
understanding
of
lies,
it
is
best
to
begin
with
the
source
of
lies:
Satan.
Lying
is
Satan’s
strength,
and
he
is
more
skilled
at
lying
than
any
other
created
being.
Jesus
said
regarding
Satan
“He
was
a
murderer
from
the
beginning,
not
holding
to
the
truth,
for
there
is
no
truth
in
him.
When
he
lies,
he
speaks
his
native
language,
for he is ‘a liar’ and ‘the father of lies.’” John 8:44
Focus
on
the
first
words
Jesus
used
to
describe
Satan:
“He
was
a
murderer
from
the
beginning.”
There
are
two
types
of
death,
spiritual
and
physical.
It
is
Satan’s
greatest
desire
to
murder
someone
spiritually,
or
cause
spiritual
death
because
this
type
of
death
can
be
eternal.
His
secondary
objective
is
to
cause
physical
death—which
is
eternal—all
through the use of deceptive lies.
For
those
who
are
able
to
spiritually
see,
what
we
are
witnessing
in
the
world
today
are
the
consequences
of
lies—which
are
propagated
by
Satan
and
his
minions
(fallen
angels
and
demons).
However,
what
we
are
witnessing
is
only a prelude and a “taste” of the diabolical lies that will occur in the future.
As
it
becomes
increasingly
difficult
to
separate
truth
from
lies,
the
words
of
Jesus
provide
light
and
hope
in
the
midst
of
darkness. Jesus said
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6
Truths About Satan’s Lies
Lying
is
defined
as
making
an
untrue
statement
with
the
intent
to
deceive.
Here
are
some
interesting
concepts
to
consider.
1
.
Humans
are
the
only
living
organisms
on
earth
that
has
the
capacity
to
lie—which
is
a
component
of
our
sinful
nature.
As
such,
every
person
(but
one)
has
lied
during
their
lives—some
with
good
intentions,
others
with
an
intent
to
harm.
For
example,
telling
someone
their
new
hair
style
looks
nice
(when
it’s
not)
may
be
considered
a
“good intention” lie. Whereas, a lie that’s intended to swindle money from someone is a harmful lie.
2
.
Humans
are
the
only
living
organisms
on
earth
that
have
the
capacity
to
believe
in
someone/something—including
lies.
A
belief
is
defined
as
having
confidence
in
the
truth,
the
existence,
or
the
reliability of something (without absolute proof).
3
.
When someone believes a harmful lie, both the believer and the liar are deceived.
To
gain
a
greater
insight
into
the
influence
of
Satan’s
lies
and
his
murderous
intent,
take
time
to
deeply
think
about
the
following
statement.
Every
war,
every
battle,
every
skirmish,
every
murder,
every
argument,
every
caustic
word
spoken,
and
every
sin—began
as
a
lie
and
culminated
in
spiritual
death
(separation
from
God)
and/or
physical
death.
(Note:
Continue
to
reflect
upon
this
this
truth.
It
will
open
your
spiritual
eyes
and
enable
you
to
see
what’s
going
on
in
the darkness.)
To
accomplish
his
objective
he
transforms
his
deceptive
lies
into
something
that
is
initially
pleasing
and
desired.
This
manipulation
of
truth
was
first
demonstrated
by
Satan
in
the
Garden
of
Eden
when
he
masterfully
combined
absolute
lies with some truth to reposition the mandate from God, and deceived Eve and Adam into sinning against God.
God
said
to
Adam
“Of
every
tree
of
the
garden
you
may
freely
eat;
but
of
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil
you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17
Satan
said
to
Eve
“You
will
not
surely
die.
For
God
knows
that
in
the
day
you
eat
of
it
your
eyes
will
be
opened,
and
you will be like God knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5
Satan’s
words
mixed
truth
with
a
lie.
Adam
and
Eve
did
not
physically
die
after
eating
the
fruit
from
the
forbidden
tree.
However,
death
occurred
as
God
had
promised.
Adam
and
Eve
died
spiritually
(they
were
separated
from
their
relationship
with
God)
because
of
their
sin.
This
same
process
of
spiritual
death
occurs
today
when
we
are
controlled
by the lies of sin.
Propagating
(spreading,
broadcasting,
circulating)
lies
is
Satan’s
core
desire.
But
what’s
worse,
he
is
a
masterful
liar.
For
example,
an
absolute
lie
is
easy
to
identify
and
argue
against.
However,
a
lie
that
is
mixed
with
some
truth
is
more
difficult
to
overcome.
As
such,
there
are
different
techniques
used
by
Satan
and
his
minions
to
“package”
their
lies
to
make them more believable. For example, they will:
1
.
Mix some truth with the lie.
2
.
Twist the truth into a different meaning.
3
.
Declare difficult to prove absolutes that support the lie.
Consequences of Lies
As
our
spiritual
eyes
open,
not
only
does
it
become
easier
to
see
lies,
it
also
becomes
easier
to
see
the
numerous
consequences
of
lies.
What’s
more,
if
a
lie
is
clandestine
(concealed,
hidden),
the
consequences
of
the
lie
(which
are
more
apparent),
are
excellent
indicators
of
the
existence
of
a
lie,
and
may
possibly
reveal
the
lie
and
indicate
the
source of the lie.
For
example,
lies
initially
a
cause
division
to
occur—from
a
polarizing
force
within
our
heart
and
soul,
to
divisions
within
our
country
and
between
nations.
Additional
consequences
include
destruction
and
devastation.
The
ultimate
goal
of
Satan is to cause darkness and desolation as spiritual and/or physical death occurs.
Each
of
the
following
seven
stages
define
the
deteriorating
consequences
of
lies.
It
is
important
to
understand
the
relevance of each stage is applicable for individual persons, families, groups and nations.
•
Division
is
a
separation
of
something
into
parts.
Satan’s
lies
initially
cause
a
division
(or
polarizing
force)
between:
o
Our flesh and spirit as we encounter the temptation of sin.
o
Those who believe in the lie and those who do not.
•
Destruction
is
an
action
or
process
of
an
entity
(person,
family,
group,
nation)
being
destroyed—which
begins
as
the lie takes control of the deceived.
•
Devastation
is
defined
as
significant
destruction
or
damage—which
occurs
over
time
as
the
cancerous
lie
consumes life.
•
Darkness
conveys a condition of no light and an inability to see—which precedes desolation and death.
•
Desolation
is a state of anguish, emptiness and hopelessness.
•
Death
: includes both a spiritual and physical separation.
o
Spiritual death occurs when we are separated from God.
o
Physical death occurs when our soul is separated from (leaves) our bodies.
•
Damnation
: Eternal punishment in the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:14-15)
Examples of these consequences can be found everywhere.
•
Consider someone you know who is bound by the lies of addiction. What stage are they at?
•
Do you know of a family that has been torn apart because of the lies associated with sin?
•
Look at the present conflicts within and between nations—which are consequences of lies.
•
Consider:
o
The
consequences
associated
with
lies
used
to
rally
America
into
war:
including
Domino
Theory,
Weapons
of
Mass Destruction, stopping terrorism at the source, and so forth.
o
The
satanic-driven
lies
that
“justified”
the
suicidal
9/11
attack
on
America
by
the
terrorists
who
flew
the
planes,
and the consequences that are still occurring today.
“For
we
do
not
wrestle
against
flesh
and
blood,
but
against
principalities,
against
powers,
against
the
rulers
of
the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
Proliferation of Conspiratorial Lies via News, Internet and Social Media
Never
in
the
history
of
man
have
there
been
more
channels
of
communication
than
what’s
available
today.
Twenty
years
ago
there
were
three
primary
means
to
disseminate
(and
obtain)
information:
television
news,
print
(newspapers
and
magazines),
and
radio.
Meanwhile,
we
have
witnessed
a
global
expansion
in
both
the
number
of
sources
of
information
and
in
ways
people
can
communicate
with
one
another—all
facilitated
by
the
rapid
growth
of
the
Internet
and
improvements
in
cell
phone
technology.
Social
media
platforms
such
as
Facebook,
YouTube,
WhatsApp,
Instagram,
Snapchat,
Twitter,
blogs—including
Internet-based
news
sites—have
become
a
primary
source
of
information and means of social interaction for many.
On
the
surface
this
transformation
in
technology
seems
beneficial
for
the
masses.
However,
it
provides
an
expanded
opportunity for the dissemination (and reinforcement) of harmful lies embedded within conspiracy theories.
A
conspiracy
theory
is
a
belief
that
some
secret
but
influential
organization
is
responsible
for
an
event
or
phenomenon.
And
yes,
a
conspiracy
theory
may
be
true.
However,
a
very
large
percentage
of
conspiracy
theories
are
false,
based
upon
one
or
more
lies,
and
have
caused
significant
negative
consequences
as
they
permeate
minds
and
proliferate
within
our
global
society.
In
addition,
those
who
have
a
cynical
view
of
the
world—i.e.
a
belief
that
“entities”
(government,
business
industries,
companies,
and
groups)
are
primarily
motivated
by
self-interest,
ambition,
desire,
greed,
fleshly
gratification,
materialism,
and
so
forth—are
more
likely
to
initiate
or
fall
into
the
trap
of
a
conspiracy
theory.
A conspiracy theory will often occur when a person:
•
Forms an unfounded assumption and negative perception of an event or situation.
•
Believes the event or situation was/is caused by the clandestine work of the sinister “entity.”
•
Promotes and propagates the perceived theory to anyone who will listen.
People who initiate, promote and propagate conspiracies will:
•
Use broad-brush accusations and declarations that:
o
Seem convincing.
o
Lack detailed specifics and verifiable evidence.
o
Reference public statements made by persons who are unqualified and/or who are misguided by lies.
•
Portray the actions of the “sinister people” as:
o
Fulfilling their self-serving interests.
o
Causing harm to others.
•
Reject, deflect or avoid objections based upon fact/truth.
•
View factual evidence of truth as part of the conspiracy.
•
View themselves as victims who are taking a stand against the conspirators.
Most
conspiracies
will
“fall
apart”
over
time
as
individual
components
(that
collectively
made
up
the
conspiracy
and
gave
it
“life”)
is
disproved
by
factual
reality.
However,
these
contradictions
between
the
conspiratorial
lies
and
truth
are
often disregarded by those who are consumed and controlled by their unwavering belief in the conspiracy.
Perceptional and Behavioral Characteristics of Those Who Believe in Lies
When
a
person
believes
in
a
lie,
the
lie
becomes
their
truth
and
the
truth
become
a
lie.
In
addition,
when
a
harmful
lie
spreads throughout the populace, a deeper division occurs between those who believe the lie and those who do not.
Listed
below
are
perceptions
and
behaviors
that
occur
by
persons
who
believe
in
a
lie—including
those
who
are
controlled
by
sin.
In
addition,
each
describes
the
consequential
darkness
that
occurs.
Take
time
to
reflect
upon
each
and determine if this describes you or someone you know.
Those who believe in a lie:
•
Will
often
seek
sources
of
lie
reinforcement
from
like-minded
persons
and
sources
that
propagate
the
deceptional lies.
•
Are usually not inclined to consider alternative views.
•
May
become
defensive,
argumentative,
and/or
may
use
deflection
because
they
view
any
attempt
to
discuss
the
truth as a personal attack.
•
May
use
caustic
words
(demeaning,
divisive,
condescending,
harsh
and
cynical)
as
a
means
to
attack
others
who do not agree/comply with the lie.
•
Will sometimes distort the truth to reinforce their belief in the lie.
•
Will often create an internal barrier (mental and emotional) to circumvent the influence of truth.
•
Will
likely
have
anger
and
hatred
in
their
heart
towards
anyone
and
anything
that
conflicts
with
their
perception
of
reality.
•
Are usually unwilling to accept the truth, even when there is indisputable evidence of the truth.
•
Often replicates the lies (sometimes verbatim).
•
Have a propensity to “see” the world through the distorted reality of the lie.
•
May
experience
astonishment
and
bewilderment
as
they
perceive
the
other
side
as
having
a
delusional
state
of
mind.
•
May become consumed by the lie—indicated by socially unacceptable / inappropriate behavior.
Meanwhile,
the
lies
of
Satan—who
deceives
the
whole
world
and
weakens
the
nations—divides
the
very
core
of
person’s hearts, and destroys the stability of the world we live in.
Satan
Satan
was
an
anointed
cherub
angel
created
by
God,
was
given
much
more
than
other
angels,
and
may
be
considered
one
of
the
highest
angels
in
heaven
serving
God
directly.
Satan
had
a
perfect
existence
in
the
presence
of
God.
But
evil,
darkness,
a
delusional
perception
of
reality,
and
violence
developed
within
the
core
of
his
being—because
he
wanted
to
become
God
and
worshiped
as
God.
To
accomplish
this
task
he
knew
he
would
have
to
go
to
battle.
It
is
safe
to
assume
Satan
spoke
lies
to
convince
other
angels
to
join
him
in
an
insurrection
against
God.
Because
if
truth
was spoken, they would have realized the delusional irrationality of attempting a rebellious act against God.
“You
were
the
seal
of
perfection,
full
of
wisdom
and
perfect
in
beauty.
You
were
in
Eden,
the
garden
of
God;
every
precious
stone
was
your
covering:
the
sardius,
topaz,
and
diamond,
Beryl,
onyx,
and
jasper,
Sapphire,
turquoise,
and
emerald
with
gold.
The
workmanship
of
your
timbrels
and
pipes
was
prepared
for
you
on
the
day
you
were
created.
You
were
the
anointed
cherub
who
covers;
I
established
you;
You
were
on
the
holy
mountain
of
God;
You
walked
back
and
forth
in
the
midst
of
fiery
stones.
You
were
perfect
in
your
ways
from
the
day
you
were
created,
till
iniquity
was
found
in
you.
By
the
abundance
of
your
trading
you
became
filled
with
violence
within,
and
you
sinned.
Therefore,
I
cast
you
as
a
profane
thing
out
of
the
mountain
of
God;
and
I
destroyed
you,
o
covering
cherub,
from
the
midst
of
the
fiery
stones.
Your
heart
was
lifted
up
because
of
your
beauty;
you
corrupted
your
wisdom
for
the
sake
of
your
splendor; I cast you to the ground.” Ezekiel 28:12-17.
“And
war
broke
out
in
heaven:
Michael
and
his
angels
fought
with
the
dragon;
and
the
dragon
and
his
angels
fought,
but
they
did
not
prevail,
nor
was
a
place
found
for
them
in
heaven
any
longer.
So
the
great
dragon
was
cast
out,
that
serpent
of
old,
called
the
Devil
and
Satan,
who
deceives
the
whole
world;
he
was
cast
to
the
earth,
and
his
angels
were
cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9
“How
you
are
fallen
from
heaven,
O
Lucifer,
son
of
the
morning!
How
you
are
cut
down
to
the
ground,
You
who
weakened
the
nations!
For
you
have
said
in
your
heart:
‘I
will
ascend
into
heaven,
I
will
exalt
my
throne
above
the
stars
of
God;
I
will
also
sit
on
the
mount
of
the
congregation
on
the
farthest
sides
of
the
north;
I
will
ascend
above
the
heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” Isaiah 14:12-14
Satan
was
in
the
presence
of
God.
He
had
everything.
He
had
a
perfect
existence
that
defines
what
every
one
of
us
hopes
for.
But
because
of
Satan’s
sin—which
drove
his
delusional
mind—he
both
desired
and
believed
he
could
become God.
Take
a
moment
and
consider
the
lie
that
developed
within
Satan.
Consider
his
motivations
and
mindset
as
he
planned
to
unseat
God.
Consider
the
self-centered
perception
he
had
of
himself
(his
beauty,
he
is
special,
and
he
is
unique).
Consider
his
self-centered
pride.
Consider
his
fantasies
of
power.
Consider
his
driving
need
to
be
worshiped.
Consider
his
willingness
to
violate
and
attack
God’s
“law”
and
rule.
Consider
his
complete
disregard
for
what
is
right
versus
wrong.
Consider
the
types
of
lies
he
would
need
to
communicate
that
would
deceive
and
manipulate
1/3
of
the
angels
to
join
him.
Consider
the
disregard
and
lack
of
empathy
as
he
manipulated
the
angels
to
participate
in
an
insurrection.
Consider
the
division
caused
by
the
lie.
Consider
the
consequential
destruction,
desolation
and
spiritual
death
that
occurred
because
of
the
lie.
Now
consider
the
darkness
that
is
upon
this
earth
because
of
his
self-centered
delusional lie.
What’s more, Satan has not changed, nor will he ever change.
•
In
Matthew
4
versus
1-11,
we
read
Jesus
had
been
fasting
for
40
days
and
nights
and
how
Satan
tempted
Him
three
times.
The
first
temptation
was
with
food,
the
second
was
an
attempt
to
get
Jesus
to
use
His
spiritual
power,
and
the
third
demonstrates
Satan’s
eternal
delusional
mind
when
he
took
Jesus
to
a
high
mountain
and
showed
Him
the
kingdoms
of
the
world,
and
said
to
Jesus
“All
these
things
I
will
give
you
if
you
will
fall
down
and
worship me.”
•
This
is
why
the
Temple
in
Jerusalem
will
be
rebuilt
during
the
last
days
so
that
Satan
(via
the
Beast)
can
stand
in
the
Temple
and
declare
he
is
God.
“Let
no
one
deceive
you
by
any
means;
for
that
Day
will
not
come
unless
the
falling
away
comes
first,
and
the
man
of
sin
is
revealed,
the
son
of
perdition,
who
opposes
and
exalts
himself
above
all
that
is
called
God
or
that
is
worshiped,
so
that
he
sits
as
God
in
the
temple
of
God,
showing
himself
that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
Angel of Light
Paul the Apostle declared
“Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
Satan
and
his
minions
exist
within
the
spiritual
realm.
Spiritual
entities
have
spiritual
“voices”
that
are
communicated
within
the
spiritual
realm.
However,
they
do
not
have
audible
voices
that
can
be
heard
within
the
physical
realm.
Therefore,
to
have
an
influence
upon
earth,
they
need
to
inhabit
and
manipulate
persons
who
are
willing
to
speak
their
lies and to do their bidding.
In
this
manner
Satan
is
able
to
transform
and
portray
himself
as
an
angel
of
light
to
the
unsuspecting
masses,
while
hiding
his
true
nature
and
intent.
In
addition,
as
Satan
expands
the
influence
and
power
of
whom
he
manipulates,
Satan
is
able
to
gain
access
to
additional
persons
who
are
willing
to
submit
to
the
authoritarian
rule
and
manipulative
directions of Satan’s puppet.
Adolph
Hitler
is
one
of
the
best
examples
of
Satan’s
skills
in
using
lies
to
impact
the
world
via
one
person.
Satan
transformed
Hitler
into
an
angel
of
light
for
the
German
people.
Thereafter
he
was
joined
by
his
henchmen
(Himmler,
Goring,
Goebbels,
and
other
lackeys)
as
he
quickly
gained
power,
took
control
over
Germany,
caused
world-wide
devastation
and
millions
of
deaths.
The
documented
evidence
of
this
inhumane
human
is
rife
with
lies,
falsifications,
deceptions and horrific consequences that are far beyond any other person who has ever lived.
For example, Adolph Hitler lied as he:
•
Positioned
himself
as
the
“savior”
of
Germany—who
could
reclaim
the
glory
of
a
“victimized
nation”
that
had
“not”
been
defeated
in
WWI;
who
was
“imprisoned”
by
the
Versailles
Treaty;
and
who
was
“denied
the
right”
of
national
self-determination.
•
Falsely declared Jews:
o
Were responsible for Germany’s misfortunes in WWI.
o
Were responsible for their present difficulties.
o
Were their enemies.
o
Should be eliminated from the face of the earth via the “Final Solution.”
o
Are being “resettled” to disguise their genocidal activity.
•
Disguised
Nazi
intentions
of
territorial
expansion
via
war,
by
portraying
Germany
as
a
peace-loving
nation
that
was forced to take up arms to protect its populace and defend against Communism.
Here are some additional truths regarding Hitler’s lies:
•
Hitler
said
“If
you
tell
a
big
enough
lie
and
tell
it
frequently
enough,
it
will
be
believed.”
The
reasoning
is
because
the occurrence of a big lie is so unlikely, people are more likely to believe it.
•
A
masterful
liar
will
divert
from
the
truth
by
accusing
their
opponents
of
lies.
For
example,
to
deflect
criticism
of
its
actions,
Nazi
Germany’s
leadership
deceitfully
accused
the
Allies
and
Jews
of
spreading
malicious
lies
and
atrocity stories (when they were guilty of malicious lies and atrocities).
•
A propagator of lies will often use fear to intimidate those who do not comply.
•
This
fear
is
initiated
by
a
depiction
of
undesirable
changes
that
will
occur
for
non-compliance;
such
as
the
threat
of losing their present wellbeing (job, security, lifestyle, etc.).
•
In
Germany’s
case,
Hitler
reinforced
the
depth
of
fear
to
drive
compliance
via
the
potential
of
receiving
physical
punishment, being thrown into prison, or being killed.
•
The
absolute
darkness
of
this
satanically-inspired
man
is
also
evidenced
by
what
occurred
at
the
end
of
WWII.
When
the
loss
of
the
war
was
imminent,
Hitler
demanded
his
troops
to
stand
their
ground
and
defend
Germany
at
all
costs
(including
death).
This
same
lie
was
drilled
into
the
mindset
of
Japanese
solders
by
Emperor
Hirohito,
as
they
committed
mass
suicide
rather
than
accept
defeat.
Both
scenarios
represent
the
outcome
desired by Satan—for he is a murderer.
•
Satan
and
his
minions
do
not
care
about
military
victory
or
defeat.
Their
desire
is
to
create
destructive
chaos,
absolute devastation, global desolation, spiritual disconnection from God, and physical death.
•
Hitler
wrote
in
Mein
Kampf
“I
believe
that
I
am
acting
in
accordance
with
the
will
of
the
Almighty
Creator:
by
defending
myself
against
the
Jew,
I
am
fighting
for
the
work
of
the
Lord.”
This
declaration
was
both
a
delusional
lie
(with
regards
to
his
justification
for
murdering
millions
of
Jews),
but
yet
included
some
delusional
truth
because he was fighting for the will and work of his lord: Satan.
Deceptive Messaging
Adolf
Hitler
used
the
following
deceptive
lies
to
rise
into
power
and
decimate
the
world.
Therefore,
using
history
as
a
reference,
it
is
prudent
to
look
for
the
following
possible
messaging
of
a
Satan-inspired
person
who
enters
onto
the
global stage. For this person will likely:
•
Declare:
o
What is wrong.
o
Who is responsible.
o
How things can be improved.
o
No one else can fix the problem.
•
Convey some form of a religious / Christian affiliation.
•
Have a charismatic speaking style that causes many to believe what is said is true.
•
Be worshipped by those who believe his lies.
•
Hide his true intentions as his actions cause division, destruction, devastation, darkness, desolation, and death.
The
following
links
provide
an
excellent
overview
of
the
lying
deceptions
employed
by
Hitler,
and
the
evil
that
resided
within this single man.
Holocaust Encyclopedia
,
Jewish Virtual Library
, and
Wikipedia
(click on each to launch the link)
However,
it
is
important
to
note
that
Hitler
was
only
a
prelude,
a
“taste
of”
and
a
“weakling”
compared
to
the
Beast
during
the
last
days—who
is
referred
to
in
the
Bible
as
the
abomination
of
desolation
(Matthew
24:15
and
Daniel
9:27).
As
such,
it
is
prudent
to
understand
the
methods
used
by
Hitler
(which
were
all
based
upon
lies)
to
assist
in
identifying
the beast (in whom Satan will manifest himself) when he enters onto the global stage.
Mental and Personality Disorders
There
are
two
psychological
disorders
defined
by
the
medical
community
which
correlate
to
the
behaviors
of
Satan:
sociopath
and
narcissism.
In
addition,
these
are
the
same
behaviors
that
have
been
demonstrated
by
autocrats
(dictators, tyrants) throughout time.
Sociopath
is
a
mental
disorder
marked
by
a
disregard
for
right
and
wrong,
and
ignores
the
feelings
of
others.
Sociopaths
will
manipulate
or
treat
others
harshly
or
with
callous
indifference,
and
show
no
guilt
or
remorse
for
their
behavior. In addition they will lie, will likely violate the law, and have difficulty fulfilling responsibilities.

Narcissism
is
a
personality
disorder
defined
as
one
who
has
a
grandiose
sense
of
self-importance,
believes
they
are
more
powerful
than
they
truly
are,
and
are
obsessed
with
power.
A
narcissist
has
fantasies
of
unlimited
success,
has
a
need
for
excessive
attention
and
admiration,
considers
themselves
brilliant,
believes
they
are
special
and
unique,
and
lacks
empathy
for
others.
In
addition,
narcissists
are
usually
charismatic
speakers,
possess
personal
magnetism,
and
can
stir
enthusiasm
among
audiences.
But
what’s
interesting,
narcissists
have
a
low
self-esteem.
As
such,
they
are
vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

The
worst-case
scenario
of
a
leader
is
one
who
is
a
sociopathic
narcissist.
This
is
one
who
has
complete
disregard
and
indifference
regarding
their
actions;
has
no
regard
for
others;
and
will
do
whatever
it
takes
to
gain
power.
These
are
those
leaders
who
have
caused
the
greatest
division,
destruction
and
death
throughout
history.
In
addition,
these
are the behavioral characteristics of Satan—since the time of his fall—and for eternity.
On
a
side
note,
here
is
an
interesting
fact
to
know.
Throughout
all
of
earthly
time,
there
will
be
only
two
periods
when
Satan
will
not
be
able
to
influence
via
lies.
The
first
is
during
the
Millennium
Reign
of
Jesus
Christ;
the
second
is
when
he is cast into the lake of fire.
“Then
I
saw
an
angel
coming
down
from
heaven,
having
the
key
to
the
bottomless
pit
and
a
great
chain
in
his
hand.
He
laid
hold
of
the
dragon,
that
serpent
of
old,
who
is
the
Devil
and
Satan,
and
bound
him
for
a
thousand
years;
and
he
cast
him
into
the
bottomless
pit,
and
shut
him
up,
and
set
a
seal
on
him,
so
that
he
should
deceive
the
nations
no
more
till the thousand years were finished.” Revelation 20:1-3
“Now
when
the
thousand
years
have
expired,
Satan
will
be
released
from
his
prison
and
will
go
out
to
deceive
the
nations
which
are
in
the
four
corners
of
the
earth,
Gog
and
Magog,
to
gather
them
together
to
battle,
whose
number
is
as
the
sand
of
the
sea.
They
went
up
on
the
breadth
of
the
earth
and
surrounded
the
camp
of
the
saints
and
the
beloved
city.
And
fire
came
down
from
God
out
of
heaven
and
devoured
them.
The
devil,
who
deceived
them,
was
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire
and
brimstone
where
the
beast
and
the
false
prophet
are.
And
they
will
be
tormented
day
and
night forever and ever. Revelation 20:7-10
Sociopathic and Narcissist Behaviors
Before
we
take
a
closer
look
at
the
behavioral
characteristics
of
a
sociopath
and
narcissist,
there
are
five
different
facets to cons
ider.
The
first
facet
is
the
list
of
both
sociopath
and
narcissist
behaviors
define
the
persona
of
Satan.
The
second
facet
is
that
the
beast
will
demonstrate
these
behavioral
characteristics.
The
third
facet
is
some
of
these
behaviors
are
expressed
by
an
individual
who
is
driven
by
a
lie,
who
is
bound
by
sin,
who’s
eyes
are
unable
to
see
the
truth
because
they
are
blinded
by
Satan,
and
are
spiritually
dead.
2nd
Corinthians
4
versus
3
and
4
says
“But
even
if
our
gospel
is
veiled,
it
is
veiled
to
those
who
are
perishing,
whose
minds
the
god
of
this
age
has
blinded,
who
do
not
believe,
lest
the
light
of
the
gospel
of
the
glory
of
Christ,
who
is
the
image
of
God,
should
shine
on
them.”
The
fourth
facet
is
that
in
varying
degrees
they
define
some
of
the
past
(and
possibly
present)
perceptions
and
behavior
of
Born-Again
Christians.
The
fifth
facet
to
consider
is
that
every
aspect
of
a
sociopath
and
narcissist
is
the
antithesis
(or
complete
opposite) of Jesus Christ.
As
you
read
the
behaviors,
determine
how
each
one
relates
to
Satan,
a
non-saved
person
you
know,
and
your
personal
past/present
behavior.
If
you
are
guilty
of
one
or
more
as
a
present
behavior—recognize
your
sin,
ask
God
for forgive
ness, and seek His righteousness.
Because
the
beast
will
transform
into
the
physical
manifestation
of
Satan,
use
the
above
list
of
behaviors
to
identify
“red flags of warning,” and as a means to facilitate identification of the beast.
Satan and the Beast
God
has
restrained
the
full
measure
of
Satan’s
powers
throughout
history.
However,
He
who
restrains
will
be
taken
out
of
the
way,
and
Satan
will
be
allowed
to
fully
use
his
ability
to
deceive
and
destroy
during
the
7-year
Tribulation
via
the
“lawless
one”
(the
Beast).
God’s
intent
during
these
final
days
is
to
condemn
those
who
reject
Jesus
Christ
because
they
prefer
the
deceptional
pleasure
of
unrighteousness.
These
are
they
who
will
be
mesmerized
by
the
Beast’s
deceptive
powers,
signs
and
lying
wonders;
these
are
they
who
will
worship
and
follow
the
Beast;
and
these
are
they
who will be recipients of God’s wrath.
“For
the
mystery
of
lawlessness
is
already
at
work;
only
He
who
now
restrains
will
do
so
until
He
is
taken
out
of
the
way.
And
then
the
lawless
one
will
be
revealed,
whom
the
Lord
will
consume
with
the
breath
of
His
mouth
and
destroy
with
the
brightness
of
His
coming.
The
coming
of
the
lawless
one
is
according
to
the
working
of
Satan,
with
all
power,
signs,
and
lying
wonders,
and
with
all
unrighteous
deception
among
those
who
perish,
because
they
did
not
receive
the
love
of
the
truth,
that
they
might
be
saved.
And
for
this
reason
God
will
send
them
strong
delusion,
that
they
should
believe
the
lie,
that
they
all
may
be
condemned
who
did
not
believe
the
truth
but
had
pleasure
in
unrighteousness.”
2
Thessalonians 2:7-12
Satan
will
give
the
Beast
power,
a
throne
and
global
authority.
In
addition,
Satan
will
use
the
Beast
to
speak
blasphemies
against
God,
blasphemies
against
God’s
name,
and
blasphemies
against
those
who
defeated
him
in
Heaven.
Blasphemy
is
defined
as
an
act
of
insulting
or
showing
contempt
or
lack
of
reverence
for
God.
Blasphemy
is
also defined as the act of declaring to be God. For Satan, via the Beast, will both curse God and declare he is God.
Although
Satan
was
defeated
in
Heaven
and
cast
to
Earth,
he
is
unable
to
accept
the
truth
because
his
darkened
and
delusional
mind
defines
his
distorted
perception
of
reality.
During
the
final
days
Satan
(via
the
Beast)
will
finally
get
the
chance
to
verbally
vent
his
anger
towards
God—including
the
angels
who
were
victorious
against
his
vain
attempt
to
unseat
God.
What’s
more,
Satan
will
also
use
the
Beast
to
attack
the
saints,
and
will
overcome
them.
Meanwhile,
those
who
reject
Jesus
Christ
and
choose
to
worship
the
beast
and
receive
his
mark
will
find
their
names
removed
from the Book of Life, and will be cast with the beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire for eternity.
“The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.” Revelation 13:2
“And
he
was
given
a
mouth
speaking
great
things
and
blasphemies,
and
he
was
given
authority
to
continue
for
forty-
two
months.
Then
he
opened
his
mouth
in
blasphemy
against
God,
to
blaspheme
His
name,
His
tabernacle,
and
those
who
dwell
in
heaven.
It
was
granted
to
him
to
make
war
with
the
saints
and
to
overcome
them.
And
authority
was
given
him
over
every
tribe,
tongue,
and
nation.
All
who
dwell
on
the
earth
will
worship
him,
whose
names
have
not
been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:5-8
“If
anyone
worships
the
beast
and
his
image,
and
receives
his
mark
on
his
forehead
or
on
his
hand,
he
himself
shall
also
drink
of
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
God,
which
is
poured
out
full
strength
into
the
cup
of
His
indignation.
He
shall
be
tormented
with
fire
and
brimstone
in
the
presence
of
the
holy
angels
and
in
the
presence
of
the
Lamb.
And
the
smoke
of
their
torment
ascends
forever
and
ever;
and
they
have
no
rest
day
or
night,
who
worship
the
beast
and
his
image,
and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11
How Should Christians Proceed?
Although
we
may
consider
the
present
state
of
darkness
and
deception
has
reached
an
unimaginable
decline
across
the
globe,
it
will
get
much
worse.
Jesus
said
“For
there
will
be
great
tribulation,
such
as
has
not
been
since
the
beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21
Remember,
Jesus
warned
us
to
not
be
deceived.
Therefore,
it
is
important
for
Christians
to
be
spiritually
aware
of
where
we’re
headed,
and
have
an
understanding
of
what
to
look
for.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
the
Beast
will
most
likely
be
portrayed
to
the
world
(and
perceived)
as
an
angel
of
light.
As
such,
do
not
be
mesmerized
by
the
façade
or
disguise.
Remember,
he
is
a
personification
of
Satan.
He
will
not
be
whom
he
portrays,
nor
will
he
proclaim
truth—because
his
words
will
be
mingled
with
lies.
Do
not
be
deceived
by
the
fire
and
smoke,
and
be
not
be
persuaded
by
the
projected
persona
and
thunderous
voice.
But
rather,
look
“behind
the
curtain”
and
analytically
evaluate the character and consequences of behavior.
As
we
witness
ever-increasing
lies
and
darkness,
it
is
also
imperative
for
every
Christian
to
seek
and
hold
onto
truth—for
the
only
truth
that
exists
on
earth
is
from
God,
in
His
Son,
in
His
word,
and
is
revealed
by
the
Holy
Spirit.
In
addition,
every
Christian
must
use
spiritual
discernment
(and
wisdom)
to
assess
information
as
it
enters
our
eyes
and
ears.
How to Respond When You Hear a Potential Lie
God
designed
us
with
an
attribute
of
skepticism.
Skepticism
is
defined
as
a
process
of
(1)
doubting
and
questioning
the
truth
of
a
stated
fact
or
opinion,
and
(2)
seeking
evidence
that
supports
or
rejects
the
stated
fact
or
opinion.
Spiritually,
skepticism
helps
to
protect
us
against
harmful
influences.
Without
this
God-given
attribute
we
would
believe
(and accept as true) everything we see and hear.
As
such,
it
is
important
to
realize
any
person’s
stated
fact
or
opinion
has
the
potential
to
be
influenced
by
that
person’s
sinful nature or by an evil entity. Therefore, when you hear a stated fact or opinion:
•
Be skeptical and do not accept it at face value.
•
Attempt to determine if the declaration is comprised of one or more of Satan’s lying techniques:
o
A mixture of truth and falsehoods.
o
Truth twisted into a different meaning.
o
A difficult to prove absolute statement.
•
When
evaluating
the
validity
of
the
stated
fact
or
opinion,
carefully
(and
skeptically)
seek
different
sources
of
information.
Biased
sources
explain
only
one
side
of
an
issue.
Therefore,
it
is
prudent
to
evaluate
different
opinions.
•
Seek verifiable and indisputable facts.
•
Test everything against scripture.
•
Use
behavioral
insight
to
evaluate
the
words
and
actions
of
the
person
making
the
declaration,
and
determine
to
what degree does this person:
o
Express sociopathic and narcissistic behaviors?
o
Exemplify a humble servant’s heart that is committed to Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord?
Behavioral Insight
In
addition
to
our
human
capacity
to
lie,
believe
in
a
lie
and
view
with
skepticism,
God
also
gave
us
an
attribute
of
behavioral
insight.
Behavioral
insight
is
an
innate
ability
to
see,
evaluate,
and
make
judgments
of
persons
based
upon
their
words
and
actions.
For
example,
imagine
you
witness
the
following
7
scenarios
that
exemplify
the
consequences
of Satan’s lies. As you read each one, take a few moments and consider the following.
•
What are your initial thoughts and emotions?
•
If given the opportunity to intervene, how would you respond?
1
.
A man and woman are viciously arguing and yelling at one another.
2
.
A scantily clad prostitute is standing on the street corner looking for business.
3
.
A person aggressively drives 25 mph over the speed limit, weaving in-and-out between cars.
4
.
A preadolescent defiantly smokes a cigarette in front of you.
5
.
Someone is resisting arrest by the police for a crime they just committed.
6
.
A drunk is sleeping on the sidewalk.
7
.
You
converse
with
someone
who
spews
vulgarity,
speaks
negative
words,
complains
about
everything
and
describes faults in others.
Most
of
us
have
seen
(and
are
possibly
guilty
of)
one
or
more
of
the
above
scenarios.
But
what’s
important
is
to
understand
our
initial
thoughts,
emotions
and
envisioned
response
to
each
scenario
can
provide
us
with
revealing
insight into how we observe the world around us: either spiritually or via our sinful nature.
There
is
a
significant
difference
between
viewing
the
world
through
spiritual
eyes,
versu
s
allowing
our
sinful
nature
to
control
and
dominate
what
we
see
and
interpret.
If
we
view
the
world
from
a
spiritual
perspective,
our
observations
are
permeated
by
the
awareness
of
God’s
grace,
His
love,
His
forgiveness
in
His
Son
Jesus
Christ,
and
a
heart-felt
hope
for
the
lost—regardless
of
the
depth
of
sin
and
darkness
that
exists.
Whereas,
observations
that
are
permeated
by
our
sinful
nature
result
in
judgment,
caustic
words,
intolerance
for
their
actions,
and
a
hopeless
belief
that
there
is
nothing
that
can
change
who they are and what they do.
Now
take
a
moment
to
consider
the
heart
of
someone
who
prayerfully
responds
to
the
above
scenarios
in
the
following
manner:
•
I pray God You touch this person’s heart.
•
Thank You, God, that I am not like this person.
Which
prayer
is
spiritual,
and
which
is
based
upon
sinful
nature?
Which
prayer
recognizes
the
spiritual
needs
of
the
other
person,
and
which
prayer
is
judgmental
and
self-centered?
Which
prayer
exemplifies
agape
love,
and
which
prayer
indicates
intolerance?
Which
prayer
is
an
expression
of
hope,
and
which
is
not?
But
most
important,
which
prayer reflects Jesus?
The
following
insightful
words
of
Jesus
reveal
these
deep
spiritual
truths—within
in
our
heart
and
soul—when
He
compared the prayers of a Pharisee and the tax collector.
“Also
He
spoke
this
parable
to
some
who
trusted
in
themselves
that
they
were
righteous,
and
despised
others
:
‘Two
men
went
up
to
the
temple
to
pray,
one
a
Pharisee
and
the
other
a
tax
collector.
The
Pharisee
stood
and
prayed
thus
with
himself,
‘God,
I
thank
You
that
I
am
not
like
other
men—extortioners,
unjust,
adulterers,
or
even
as
this
tax
collector.
I
fast
twice
a
week;
I
give
tithes
of
all
that
I
possess.’
And
the
tax
collector,
standing
afar
off,
would
not
so
much
as
raise
his
eyes
to
heaven,
but
beat
his
breast,
saying,
‘God,
be
merciful
to
me
a
sinner!’
I
tell
you,
this
man
went
down
to
his
house
justified
rather
than
the
other;
for
everyone
who
exalts
himself
will
be
humbled,
and
he
who
humbles himself will be exalted.’” Luke 18: 9-14
It
is
critically
important
for
every
Christian
to
remember
who
we
were,
who
we
are,
and
who
we
desire
to
become.
For
as
we
grow
in
Christ,
we
become
more
like
Him
and
less
like
ourselves—which
is
a
very
good
thing!
It
is
by
God’s
grace
and
love
that
we
are
continually
forgiven—for
our
past,
present
and
future
sins.
As
such,
we
need
to
keep
this
at
the
forefront
of
our
minds
as
we
view
the
darkened
world
around
us—and
not
allow
our
sinful
flesh
to
permeate
our
perception of those who are bound by the lies of Satan.
The
perception
of
those
who
are
deceived
during
the
last
days
will
experience
a
transformation:
Satan’s
lies
will
become
truth,
and
truth
will
become
a
lie.
This
is
why
the
deceived
will
actively
reject
the
truth—even
when
presented
with factual evidence of truth.
Therefore,
immerse
yourself
in
God’s
word,
His
love,
His
Son,
His
promises,
and
His
Holy
Spirit
as
you
protect
yourself
against
deception.
View
the
world
through
spiritual
eyes
and
not
your
sinful
nature.
And
remember
the
following
scriptures when you encounter the deceived.
“Let
no
corrupt
word
proceed
out
of
your
mouth,
but
what
is
good
for
necessary
edification,
that
it
may
impart
grace
to
the
hearers.
And
do
not
grieve
the
Holy
Spirit
of
God,
by
whom
you
were
sealed
for
the
day
of
redemption.
Let
all
bitterness,
wrath,
anger,
clamor,
and
evil
speaking
be
put
away
from
you,
with
all
malice.
And
be
kind
to
one
another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4: 29-32
“So
then
each
of
us
shall
give
account
of
himself
to
God.
Therefore
let
us
not
judge
one
another
anymore,
but
rather
resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.” Romans 14:12-13
“Walk
in
wisdom
toward
those
who
are
outside,
redeeming
the
time.
Let
your
speech
always
be
with
grace,
seasoned
with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” Colossians 4:5-6
How Should Non-Christians Proceed?
For
those
who
do
not
know
Jesus
Christ,
truth
will
not
be
found
in
drugs,
sex,
wealth,
power,
fame,
or
in
politics—because
this
is
where
Satan
expertly
manipulates
his
lies;
this
is
where
he
blinds
the
eyes
of
his
victims;
this
where darkness resides; this is where sin thrives; and this is where spiritual death occurs.
When
you
think
about
life
from
a
spiritual
perspective,
people
attempt
to
find
fulfillment
in
areas
that
facilitate
the
deceptional influence of a murderer, and are unaware of their condition and consequences.
“As
it
is
written:
‘There
is
none
righteous,
no,
not
one;
there
is
none
who
understands;
there
is
none
who
seeks
after
God.
They
have
all
turned
aside;
they
have
together
become
unprofitable;
there
is
none
who
does
good,
no,
not
one.
Their
throat
is
an
open
tomb;
with
their
tongues
they
have
practiced
deceit;
the
poison
of
asps
is
under
their
lips;
whose
mouth
is
full
of
cursing
and
bitterness.
Their
feet
are
swift
to
shed
blood;
destruction
and
misery
are
in
their
ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Romans 3:10-18
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Jesus said
“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.” John 8:34
A
common
definition
of
a
slave
is
one
who
is
owned
by
(and
subservient
to)
another
person.
However,
Jesus
spoke
of
spiritual slavery and servitude to sin.
Paul
reinforced
the
truth
of
spiritual
slavery.
“Do
you
not
know
that
to
whom
you
present
yourselves
slaves
to
obey,
you
are
that
one’s
slaves
whom
you
obey,
whether
of
sin
leading
to
death,
or
of
obedience
leading
to
righteousness?”
Romans 6:16
Bob Dylan wrote a song, “Gotta Serve Somebody,” (© 1979, Special Rider Music) with the refrain:
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed.
You’re gonna have to serve somebody,
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody.
In
simple
truth…every
person
is
either
a
servant
of
Jesus
or
Satan.
It’s
one
or
the
other.
However,
those
who
decide
to
serve
God
know
who
they
are
serving.
Whereas,
those
who
decide
not
to
serve
God
do
not
know
who
they
are
serving because they are held in darkness by their master.
Jesus
said
“And
this
is
the
condemnation,
that
the
light
has
come
into
the
world,
and
men
loved
darkness
rather
than
light,
because
their
deeds
were
evil.
For
everyone
practicing
evil
hates
the
light
and
does
not
come
to
the
light,
lest
his
deeds
should
be
exposed.
But
he
who
does
the
truth
comes
to
the
light,
that
his
deeds
may
be
clearly
seen,
that
they
have been done in God.” John 3:19-21
Jesus
said
“I
am
the
light
of
the
world.
He
who
follows
Me
shall
not
walk
in
darkness,
but
have
the
light
of
life.”
John
8:12
Jesus
defined
the
difference
between
Himself
and
the
thief
(Satan)
when
He
declared
“I
am
the
door.
If
anyone
enters
by
Me,
he
will
be
saved,
and
will
go
in
and
out
and
find
pasture.
The
thief
does
not
come
except
to
steal,
and
to
kill,
and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:9-10
Those
who
seek
His
truth
will
know
and
hear
His
voice.
Jesus
said
“My
sheep
hear
My
voice,
and
I
know
them,
and
they
follow
Me.
And
I
give
them
eternal
life,
and
they
shall
never
perish;
neither
shall
anyone
snatch
them
out
of
My
hand.
My
Father,
who
has
given
them
to
Me,
is
greater
than
all;
and
no
one
is
able
to
snatch
them
out
of
My
Father’s
hand.” John 10:27-29
Jesus
said
“If
you
abide
in
My
word,
you
are
My
disciples
indeed.
And
you
shall
know
the
truth,
and
the
truth
shall
make you free.” John 8:31-32
For
those
who
are
living
in
darkness;
are
tired
of
being
bound
and
chained
by
delusional
lies
and
sin;
and
have
a
desire
to
know
the
truth…Jesus
Christ,
God’s
Son,
laid
down
His
life
for
us
as
a
sacrifice
for
our
sins
so
that
we
could
be set free from the shackles and bonds of lies.
All it takes is a simple prayer from your heart to God declaring your present condition and desires.
Heavenly
Father,
I
am
a
sinner
and
I
desire
to
know
Your
truth.
Thank
you,
Jesus,
for
dying
for
my
sins.
Holy
Spirit
teach and guide me unto righteousness, and transform me into the person you want me to be.
