We are living in a topsy-turvy world where the truth is disregarded and lies are celebrated as truth.

Worst of all, sometimes both truth and lie are combined to deceive you. Satan specializes in this strategy.

A perfect example of this was played out during the 2020/2021 COVID-19 pandemic where both true and false information were widely circulated on the social media.

In such cases, how do you differentiate between factual and fictional news?

The Bible states that we are destroyed because of lack of Knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

Therefore, a sound knowledge of the Word of God will ground you in the truth.

But, sometimes the Bible is twisted and manipulated to suit personal agenda?

How can you know when this is the case?

Jesus states in John 8:31-32, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The most important instructions in the above message is to have a close relationship with Jesus Christ and remain faithful to His Word.

Thus, the truth will not promote fear or entangle you in bondage.

The reality is that God is neither the author of confusion nor does He instigate fear in your hearts (1 Corinthians 14:33; 2 Timothy 1:7).

Any information or news that promote fear in your heart is from the synagogue of Satan.

On the other hand, any information that encourage and promote abundant life is from the Lord (John 10:10).

The devil does not want you to know the truth, but by adhering to the following steps you will expose his lies.

Six simple steps to keep you on the pathway of truth 

1. Develop a close relationship with the Lord. You can begin with the ABC’s of salvation.
2. Be obedient to the Holy Spirit who is your teacher and guide in this deceptive world.
3. You need wisdom and a discerning spirit to abide in the truth. The Bible says if you lack wisdom  you should ask the Lord and He will give it to you liberally and without reproach (James 1:5). The Lord has provided the perfect prayer for you and it is found in Ephesians 1:17-23; 3:14-19. You can read it here.
4. Build a firm foundation in the Word of God, which is the Word of truth (Psalms 119: 160; John 17:17).
5. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer is your weapon that will destroy the lies of the enemy.
6. Be kind and compassionate to each other, even those you may consider your enemies (Ephesians 4:32).

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. (John 17:17 NKJV)

Jesus prayed that we be sanctified in the truth so let us live by His Word so that we can live a free and holy life.

I am currently writing about some truths that Satan does not want God’s people to know and so far the facts have been astounding.

Share with us some truths that the devil does not want you to know.

Have a blessed day and thank you for reading.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
