<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.
