<strong>Transformation</strong> 34<br />
cleanses us of all worldly stuff<br />
- every form of deception,<br />
unbelief, doubts and wrong<br />
perception about God and us.<br />
We must therefore love the<br />
word, study and learn it<br />
because it is a precious treasure<br />
and should always be respected<br />
and honored.<br />
For, although we are<br />
in the flesh, we do not<br />
battle according to<br />
the flesh, for the<br />
weapons of our battle<br />
are not of flesh but<br />
are enormously<br />
powerful, capable of<br />
destroying fortresses.<br />
We destroy arguments<br />
and every pretension<br />
raising itself against<br />
the knowledge of God,<br />
and take every<br />
thought captive in<br />
obedience to Christ ...<br />
(2 Corinthians 10:3-5).<br />
According to the above scripture,<br />
Satan seeks to build strongholds in<br />
our minds – strongholds are lies that<br />
are believed. A person who believes<br />
a lie is deceived. When an<br />
individual believes that wrong is<br />
right, he has fallen into deception.<br />
Satan works through deception, but<br />
the knowledge of the Word is the<br />
believers defense and victory.<br />
According to Joyce Meyer in her<br />
book The Word, the Name, the<br />
Blood, a believer who knows the<br />
truth is a major defeat to Satan.<br />
The Devils work in the life of a<br />
believer is based upon deception.<br />
Deception is as a result of lies that<br />
are believed. The Bible calls Him<br />
the father of lies and so you can be<br />
sure that whatever he comes telling<br />
you is a lie. Jesus says in John<br />
that if you remain in my word,<br />
you will truly be my disciples and<br />
you will know the truth and the<br />
truth will set you free. >>><br />
We must therefore love<br />
the word, study and<br />
learn it because it is a<br />
precious treasure and<br />
should always be<br />
respected and honored.
