Leave The Lie Alone
Satan Study to Know God
Colossian 3:9-10 lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deed and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.
Wearing lies clothes, what does that mean? Leave the lie alone, what are you talking about? The lie floats in the air, he flies and he lies. Who am I talking about? Satan was in heaven with God, he was a worker, a praise worship leader, and an angel of God. Sin originated in a perfect place. Satan was one of the most beautiful angels and there are many beautiful angels in the earth today that’s just like him. Men strive to show up beautifully before man but before God they are negligent in duty. You see God made us wonderfully and He desires us to live life wonderfully. However God intent is He desires us to know the more of Him. Yet we His people fail daily to come into his presence. Therefore when we come, we bring his enemy with us. We bring Satan before God to accuse us.
Sin is good to look at and good to eat. We cannot trust that denying ungodliness and walking holy will keep the lie from being put on us. A lie is an intentional misrepresentation of fact. Potiphar wife looked upon the young Joseph and lusted to have him. However Joseph being the man that he was refused her but during the time of his departure he left his coat. How could Joseph deny being there and how could he prove that he had nothing to do with this wicked woman? His coat was just as much evidence as Joseph sleeping with Potiphar wife. He was guilty although he had done nothing wrong. Satan study to know God; he can tell when God has a blessing on the horizon for man. He then jumps into action to make us give the blessing up. He has no power to take anything from us. Little did he know what God has said will be will still prosper in our lives at the time God says so.
Joseph had evidence planted against him and was found guilty of the charge against him. Did that stop him from prospering in what God had said years before? No. He was put in prison but it was for a time. Joseph was in time for God to use him for his glory. At the time God restored him with all he had before the first lie was told. He was reunited with his Father and was there for his people also. God calls man for a time and a season. When Jesus was before Pontius Pilate he tried to set Jesus free saying that he found no fault. When he asked Jesus about the charges Jesus told him to ask the people that came and followed Him to speak about what He taught them. Finally he yield to the multitude and gave Jesus to be crucified although He was innocent. A lie is nothing to tell. People use a lie up. A lie itself feels hopeless, helpless, and used up. Leave the lie alone. Even truth says I would rather go naked than tell or wear a lie’s clothes. A lie plants a seed of doubt and if we plant doubt we are just as guilty of lying. Satan study to know God; what about us? Pilate was summoned to Rome to answer to Tiberius as to why he was willing to set Jesus free. Before he made it to Rome Tiberius died and Pilate banished to Vienna in Gaul where it is reported he committed suicide. Another’s lie will get us in trouble with God also. We cannot be a part of a lie knowing it is just that. This is called being an accessory to sin. There are consequences for this act as well as the full act of lying. He that knows to do good and do it not it is sin.
Satan when he comes to us his lie is so believable. How else will we believe the lie accept there is some truth to it to deceive us? He put himself into a snake, the serpent it was called and talked to Eve about the beautiful fruit of the tree. He appealed to her ear where she heard the lie he told her mixed with some truth, then he appealed to her eyes that she cast to looking upon the fruit and then he enticed her to eat of the tree. He used Eve’s very own senses against her. Why didn’t she leave the lie alone and turn and run the few steps to her husband? What Satan told her was too good to be a lie. What she did not know was what Satan knew. He knew as God had told Adam in the day you eat of this tree you will surely die. God spoke of their spiritual state while Satan put a Holy Word on a natural plane. Leave the lie alone and see what God has to say about the situation. Many of visions have been aborted because man believed a lie before he found out if it was the truth. A lie took truth clothes long ago but are we going to continue to let him wear down truth shoes too!
Jesus said I am the truth, the way and the light. I come to give life and that more abundantly but the Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy; he is a deceiver and a liar from the beginning. We are warned to watch and pray for the thief come but to rob us of our sustenance. Satan stole man’s innocence in the Garden of Eden. He stole man’s spiritual state we had with God. Now we have to work hard to keep that same spiritual nature. Eve tried to defend herself that day; so did Adam. We are to follow what the Word says rather than what we feel like, look like, taste like, hear or touch. Satan always presents himself and gives us a way to do evil, but why it what he present so hard to resist? He is not just an ordinary angel, he was in God’s presence daily and he is intelligent. He is smart, cunning, and conniving. He presents his temptation in the light but his deeds are done in the dark. That’s why we must keep our heart pure and clean before God where there is no room for Satan to operate against us. God has a purpose and plan for all of us.
It’s time we study to know who God is, Man is, and who Satan is that we stop being defeated in life. Watch the Devil talking to you, your children, or your neighbor. We are to be able to recognize those spirits operating in and around our lives. Many times we leave home, church, school or work wrong. We then get caught up and make sin a part of our lives. One lie can bring chaos to man’s peace. God says that we are to obey Him for He made all things good, even Satan but Satan violated the law of God which made him evil and we can fall in that same position. Sin makes us run and hide. We have accepted the lie from the Devil too long. It’s time to leave the lie alone.
It’s time we prepare for the second coming of Christ when all things will be restored to us. Jesus has given us a new birth through the Holy Spirit. We will need to be washed thoroughly from all iniquity and cleansed from sin. When David realized he had sinned against God he asked God to purge him with hyssop that he would be clean and to wash him that he would be whiter than snow. But he did not stop at that, he asked God to create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit in him. We are not saved by works of righteousness that we have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. It’s time we open our eyes and turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God that we may receive forgiveness of sins and live in the inheritance God have given us among them which is sanctified through faith. God will put a new heart and take out the stony one. He will give us a new Spirit when we cast away our transgressions. God wants to be our God and He wants us to be his people. Leave the lie alone that Satan presents to us, Satan study to know God don’t be deceived he wants to go to heaven but he can never go there again!
