Everyone knows Satan’s best trick was to convince the world that he doesn’t exist, but what about the other tricks Satan uses in the attempt to get people to go off their square and into sinister ways that ultimately lead to hell?
The Devil Uses The Truth To Tell Lies
In the book of Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the antagonist Mephistopheles (AKA, Satan) makes a bet with God that the protagonist, “Faust,” would not worship God and would ask Mephistopheles for more knowledge, power, etc. than he would ask of God. God takes the bet and Mephistopheles is able to use scripture to deter Faust from the truth and twist the truth in a way where the truth is being told so that lies can be made manifest. It’s a very insidious way to go about things, but what else would you expect from the devil?
Satan Wants You To Forget About Context
Technicalities and context absolutely matter in the search for that which is truthful. Depending on the context or the technicality, a situation may or may not be in accordance with what is just, beautiful, and true. While most people can agree on whether or not something is beautiful externally, it is a mystery for many people to discern what is honestly just or true.
“Salvation Is Only Found Through A Church” Is A Lie
While having a group of people is a great addition to improving your relationship with the Most High, your relationship with the Most High is YOUR RELATIONSHIP with Him. It isn’t anyone elses. Even online communities such as the Regal Change Academy (https://www.skool.com/regal-change-academy-4338) are paramount to your growth as an individual. Why? Because when you are around people who are striving for something more in their minds, bodies, and souls, there is something special that happens in your spirit. That something special is the kind of maturation that Satan doesn’t want to see you grow. Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean you should just join any group. You want to make sure you can discern the spirits in the group in a way where you are testing the spirits but not initiating unnecessary spiritual conflict.
If you don’t have a group, online community, or congregation you can join, it’s better to walk alone with God than to submit to Satan.
Why Satan Wants To Deceive You Into Choosing Hell
Choosing our Lord Jesus Christ and heavenliness is the most infuriating thing you can do in the eyes of Satan because it means you are actually choosing righteousness. Aiming to live in accordance with what is just, beautiful, and true is something the devil never wants to see and you have to remember he will do whatever it takes - anything - to convince you not to walk that path.
