Deception is one of the many tactics the enemy uses and this spirit has many different faces. When we think of deception, various other words come to mind such as; deceit, lies, trickery, false, fraud, misrepresentation among others. Therefore, deception has to do with carefully and cunningly misleading someone by means of bending or twisting the truth in order to get what you want from a person or to have an advantage over them. Does this sound familiar?
The enemy is the master of deception. Let us not forget that he is the "father of lies" (John 8:44)
As I remained in prayer the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me about the spirit of deception. This was what the Lord spoke into my spirit:
- The spirit of deception is an ugly spirit.
- This spirit operates in conjunction with stealing/ theft.
- It also operates with disguise .
- It operates under false pretense and jealously.
- The spirit of deception functions with a mask; you never truly know what is there until it has been released.
- It is trickery at its highest power.
- The spirit of deception never wears its' own name.
- This spirit knows how to resize and regroup very well.
- It can be likened to a coin that has two different sides but it is the same coin.
- The spirit of deception always shows up like the real deal, but it takes the eyes of the Spirit and discernment to pick him up.
- This spirit first starts with the mind before it attacks your Spirit.
The Lord does not like deception! Many of us as believers, allow the enemy to use us to become deceptive to others without knowing that right there and then, we become his tool. Let us ensure that this spirit of deception that is at work, we pray against such spirit so that we don't fall victim.
Psalm 101:7 the Lord reminds us that, "No one who practices deceit will dwell in My house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in My presence".
Proverbs 19:9 tells us, "A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish".
Let us be keen and remain vigilant so we are able to identify the enemy before he attacks. God bless you! Shalom
