Deception

Have you ever felt mislead or like someone had just deliberately presented a viewpoint that helped them to gain and unlawful or unfair advantage over you? What does it feel like to miss the true reality of a situation? How costly is deception? Where does deception begin? Do you believer that ambushers, strategic warriors, trouble makers, rebels, magicians, tricksters, jokers, and charmers are masters of deception? Are you aware that Hollow Philosophy, Evil Spiritual Forces, Concealers of Malice, and those who speak with flattery and crooked speech or forked tongues, are treacherous and war against your soul? Would you agree that deceivers are filled with pride, unashamed liars, or individuals who are led by their own lusts, greed, and selfishness? Have you ever filled someone with false hope, seduced or beguiled someone just to fulfill the lust of your flesh, lied to an individual about future suffering, withheld truth to make a sale, used false scales or weights to profit, or talked someone into a get rich quick scheme to get a good return on your investment? Why do we humans embrace a lie, deny we are sinners in need of Jesus Christ (the anointed Redeemer and Savior) refuse to embrace God, quench the Holy Spirit, meditate on acts that are contrary to God's ways, refuse to walk in Truth, and deny God Almighty as Sovereign Ruler?
