THE UNVEILED TRUTH

THE UNVEILED TRUTH

“Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT2 Corinthians 4:4 NLTSatan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

For some of you that have been in the world before salvation, you can testify of times where you looked back at a situation and wondered how in the world you thought that was good or enjoyable! Perhaps looking back you realize you were in danger, or you might have been intoxicated, or passed out. And if it wasn’t for God’s merciful protection anything could have happened to you. It is not that anything has changed about that situation, it is the veil the enemy casts on the eyes of one who is living in disobedience that has fallen when you came into truth.

In Ezekiel 28,Ezekiel 28,“Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD: “In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.the Lord reveals a powerful truth about satan, who was a distinctive figure among the angels. He was smart, he knew a lot about God, he was also made in a special way with exquisite beauty which essentially puffed him up with pride and led him to sin against God. What most people don’t know is that when he fell, he did not lose those attributes because they are gifts and the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable (Romans 11:29Romans 11:29For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.).

His cunning traps are not gonna come overtly looking bad, because they are supposed to lure you, and they must be inviting and good looking in order to do so for he transforms in an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:142 Corinthians 11:14But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.). There is however hope for us through Christ that gave us the Holy Spirit, we can discern his deceptive ways.

We are without excuse because he lives on the inside of us telling us which way to walk. Do not attempt to look like the world for you were called higher! Let it not be said of you that you walked as one with veiled eyes, while you were in Christ.

Prayer: Father I thank you for this truth. I walk diligently discerning the ways of the enemy by the leading of your holy spirit. I trust him for he knows the heart of God and I submit willingly. It shall not be said of me that I was not discerning and faithful, in Jesus name!
