We cannot go by assumption. Someone said something key here. The Bible must record that he repented if he did. All we know is that he turned back from following God, which grieved God. Has nobody noticed the number 666 is used twice for both the antichrist and Solomon. The Bible gives us clues sometimes when something isn't expressly stated.
May God help us. Life is all about our devotion to God first, and then humanity. Eternal life should never be gambled or negotiated for any basis whatsoever.

God's Humanity, Man's Divinity

The Spirit's Word: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Psalms 82:5‭-‬6 KJV

When God created the world, He had already factored in both rebellions of Satan and man, and also man's redemption. The Lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8. He chose us in Christ even before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4. No one can possibly doubt this, because we all believe God is Omniscient. Jesus affirmed what David declared under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. John 10:34. We are gods. We are divine, made in His image. This is not applicable to unbelievers. Why is that? Because what qualifies us to be gods after the Almighty Himself is seen in Psalm 82:5. Knowledge, understanding and walking in the light. You need to be a child of light before you can walk in it. John 1:1-18, 1 John 1:5-10. All these was God's sovereign plan and purpose for man's redemption and perfection: for us to be conformed to the image of His dear son so we can be one with the Godhead. Hebrews 2:11, Romans 8:29-30.

On the other hand, the Word became flesh and took on the form of His creature: the one He made after His image and likeness. The love of God is the compelling and driving factor. He was more than willing to take part of flesh and blood that suffers corruption. There was no other way for a God of justice and righteousness to defeat the devil who became the boss of man on a fair ground. Man could not help himself, but was destined to perdition. But the love of God wouldn't let this be. Jesus is now the firstborn of all God's creatures, and He is not ashamed of it. This doesn't in any way reduce His glory and power. John 17:5. I declare to you that He is both God and man: divine and human. This was the only just way for man to gain redemption. What can we say? It was more than a noble cause. It is sheer tomfoolery to ignore this sacrifice. Jesus' birth, life on earth, death, victory on the cross, resurrection and ascension has made a way for man to be righteous in the presence of God. All He asks is that we believe in Him, and live our lives for Him. This is for our own good, for without Him we can do nothing. John 15:5. All He said He would do, He did. Why do you think the rapture and His second coming won't be fulfilled?
Surely, it will. ✡️

Reminder: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:15 KJV

VLTA:
If all Israel would be saved, how much more Solomon?

The only people that are Israelites and who will not be saved are those that aren't given unto salvation. Sons of perdition like Judas Iscariot...

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

I like your point sire. But what about these words of Jesus

Matthew 8:11-12 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

That statement, all Israel will be saved....does it include those into black arts, satanism, etc. Remember Paul said, we are all Israel, we who believe, not according to the flesh but according to the promise.

Romans 9:6-8 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.


God does not change. What He says to one, He says to all. He is not a respecter of persons.

Jesus is both wisdom and truth. The wise you mean!

Fruit of the Spirit

The Spirit's Word: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22‭-‬23 KJV

I believe things work best when you work it from first principles. The fruit of the Spirit is getting despised today in my opinion. There are more sermons and teachings on the gifts, power and anointing.
All sound teaching is good but baby Christians abound. As such, there must be a place for them in the Church. We are planted by God the day we received Jesus into our lives. Psalm 1:3, Isaiah 61:3. We have to start bearing fruits before anything else. Even when we're filled with the Holy Spirit on the same day of Salvation, it doesn't mean we are good to go. What do I mean? You are first a son of God, before you are called to serve. Only a mature son can minister in the house of God because he has been taught how to. A baby cannot minister to anybody, but rather needs help. Apostle Peter told us: As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1 Peter 2:2. There is need for growth, and it is not negotiable in the kingdom. Jesus told Peter to feed His lambs three times. It came as a warning and plea, because of the grave consequences of not getting mature in this kingdom. John 21:15-17. The fruits develop godly character in us.

I have seen young Christians get offended in God, and the Body of Christ. This is because they were not equipped with the Word of God. Christianity is not magic, neither is it a microwave or quick phenomenon that make things happen at the click of a button. It involves process just like a seed takes time to germinate, sprout, and bring forth. Patience and perseverance will do us a lot of good, which is one of the fruit of the spirit also known as long-suffering. We must be acquainted daily with the Word and the Holy Spirit as our navigation on this earth. As we grow, we learn to take spiritual responsibility for our lives first, before we can help others. The fruit will develop us to be lovers of God, and then love our neighbours. God will only equip mature sons for service. He loves us too much to endanger our lives, because the enemy doesn't fight fair. Young Christians must know that they have a personal responsibility to feed on the Word irrespective of the church, teacher or mentor they are tied to. Growth in the eyes of God is measured by the extent of these fruit in your life, and your obedience to the Holy Spirit. ✡️

Reminder:... beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:17‭-‬18 KJV

2 Peter 3:17‭-‬18 KJV

We know that the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Songs of Solomon were inspired by the Holy Ghost. Did he write them towards the end of his life or otherwise? What did the Bible say about his end?

1StopRudeness:
why bother urself about a question only God knows the answer...we humans judge by appearance, wealth and a whole lot of yardstick that only matters in this world. Only God can tell the content of the heart which is what he use in judging us...if not Jesus won't say prostitutes will enter into God's kingdom and some so called God's people wont
...however, I feel Solomon's attitude of joining his idol worshipping wives to worship other gods may be a period of weakness.
a man that has engaged God directly would have probably retraced his steps when his peaceful reign became threatened by Hadad the edomite, Rezon son of Eliada and Jeroboam

you still gave a succinct and worthy answer after first sermonizing us. We know about that. Just a topic for discourse where we can learn more from one another

Dtruthspeaker:
Eeeeh! You know what he means, no need to raise heaven!

thanks jare my brother. But what's your argument based on?
Remember this Scripture:

1 Peter 3:18-19 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

It wasn't stated in the Bible but I have wondered so many times if he did, considering that he worshipped other gods from his outlandish wives and concubines of a thousand. Who knows! Did he repent eventually? We know God spoke to him, blessed him and even manifested His glory through this king. What's your take?
NB: Only Bible scholars and theologians should comment. It is a sensitive topic, and I don't want any jokes or unsavoury opinions on spiritual matters.

Beholding His Glory

The Spirit's Word: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 KJV


Many believers can define glory, and have an idea what it means. It has been defined as beauty, majesty, splendor, great admiration, worship, praise, excellence, perfection, bright light, etc. All these definitions and synonyms are good. However, one thing I have discovered which Bible attaches to glory is that it is seen or visible. Do a research, you would find out that glory is always seen and witnessed with the physical eyes. The Old testament saints, kings, levites, priests and prophets saw the glory of God come down when all the rites for consecration, sacrifice and worship were made. The opening Scripture was made by John the beloved. He was referring to the Mount of transfiguration when he said, they beheld his glory as the only begotten of the Father. Remember, God gave witness to Jesus as His begotten Son. Matthew 17:1-8. This was one high knowledge John had of Jesus which made him insurmountable according to Bible scholars. He was banished to the Isle of Patmos after several attempts to kill him failed. He was the beloved, and understood this glory better than the other apostles who witnessed the same. Can we now have an idea of what this glory can do?

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 1:26‭-‬27. We all know that hope is an expectation. Many of us have had encounters, but to behold this glory is the apex of all encounters. We must all press to behold this glory on earth, and not only when we get to heaven. If you would ever get to behold his glory, truly life can never be the same for you again. I know we walk by faith, and not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7. However, the Scripture also declared: Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun. Ecclesiastes 11:7. Now, Jesus the resurrected Christ is the Sun (Son) of righteousness that arises with healing in His wings. Malachi 4:1-3. When you encounter Jesus in His power and glory, then you will live and breathe the living Word on a daily basis. Revelations 5:12 and 7:12 becomes your testimony. I pray God gives us more understanding. ✡️

Reminder: Live in the fear of the Lord; hunger and thirst for Him continually. Feed on His Word and be guided by the Holy Spirit.

Opportunities For Favour

The Spirit's Word: And he brought up... Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Esther 2:7‭-‬8 KJV


The book of Esther is more than just Esther's story. It is also about the man called Mordecai. If not for this good man, we wouldn't have a book of Esther in the Bible. God tells us not to stop doing good. Galatians 6:9. We ought to love humanity as the Lord commanded us to. God is the lifter up of men, but He uses the agency of human beings for this. Esther was an orphan, and Mordecai took her in, incurring extra costs and responsibilities. If he didn't have a good heart, there is no way in the world he could have done this. He didn't bring his own daughters for the selection by the king. Maybe, he didn't have daughters, but I still insist some people wouldn't care about such high opportunities for one who isn't their blood relation.
We see how Esther gained favour with all in the palace and rose to the top. Now, if we would look around us, and be compassionate, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit, there are people who God wants to lift. Our lifting may be tied to theirs as Mordecai's was tied to Esther. We mustn't let jealousy or pride stop the purpose of God.

Once upon a time there was someone who kept seeking my help financially. This person was not related to me but I kept assisting whenever they called for help. I wondered if they didn't have any relation they could easily run off to. A certain day, this call for help came again, but I was weary of doing well. So I told this person I couldn't help. The Lord then gave me a revelation where I was aboard a flight that came down every time it tried to take off. I knew the interpretation immediately. I repented and assisted this fellow who later got a job from that financially assistance. God has placed us in positions where at least somebody needs you for something you can assist them with. It may not always be financially, but always try to meet the need of those around you. The blessings of God is for the purpose of making you a blessing. Genesis 12:2. Mordecai was eventually promoted to the best position he could get to under that reign. Esther 8:2. He didn't think or know about this when he took up Esther's upkeep being an orphan. ✡️

Reminder: It is always more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35. Don't turn a blind eye to those in need around you.

One Kingdom

The Spirit's Word: Thine, O Lord , is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord , and thou art exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV

The Lord spoke to me recently that '' there is only one kingdom''. This is seen all through scriptures. Many times we call Satan's World of darkness a kingdom, but they are all false. God is the only King of heaven and earth. We know that where another king arises while one still rules, it is treason and rebellion. God's original purpose is one kingdom. Any other kingdom outside heaven, having a different ideology, purpose, governing principles, and culture is an enemy of God. Jesus also affirmed this when He taught His disciples how to pray: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:13. The purpose of redeeming the believers as Kings (Revelation 5:10) is to enforce the Kingdom of Heaven on earth; subduing every other so called kingdoms. Genesis 1:28. Thus, we are given power and glory. Acts 1:8, Colossians 1:27. Kings can only reign and rule with power and glory. Also, there must be subjects to make comply with God's righteousness and judgment.

God is the King of all kings. Our work is to ensure we do what He has commanded according to Scripture so we can hear it proclaimed that: The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 11:15. One of the ways that this can happen is by preaching the good news and demonstrating God's power and glory. The world must be subdued. Without power, it is impossible to win the world over. The earth must be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14. This calls for believers getting into the realms of great faith, power and authority in order to exercise this dominion. The Holy Ghost is the One that supplies the power, and also the Glory of the Father. He is our Helper, and these are the days of the working of God's mighty power. We can't wield this power without Him. This is why we must allow Him work in us, from us and through us. We must be yielded vessels. We must be students of the Word of God, as this is the raw material for these manifestations. John 1:1-5. ✡️

Reminder: They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

We can't wield this power without Him. This is why we must allow Him work in us, from us and through us. We must be yielded vessels. We must be students of the Word of God, as this is the raw material for these manifestations. John 1:1-5. ✡️

Reminder: They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;
Psalms 145:11 KJV

Snakes only mean two things...
1. The Serpent or Satan (crafty, deceit, wicked)
2. Tales from tail... Wordplay (gossip, defamation, spreading falsehood)

Since they never hurt you and are more than one (one big snake is most likely the devil) , God is showing you that you are surrounding yourself with tales or gossip. Most likely it is you spreading gossips, since the snakes don't harm you. If they harm you in the dream, it is otherwise.

God is telling you to stop tale bearing, gossip and lies as it is obvious you are dwelling in the congregation of these lying spirits.
Cheers

One Faith

The Spirit's Word: There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:4‭-‬6 KJV

The Christian faith is one. Some don't understand what this means, and they hold on to doctrinal differences. Do we all believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and only way to the Father, and eternal life? This is the one faith the Bible was referring to in the above Scripture. Everyone that believes this, and accepts the Lord into his or her life has entered into the kingdom of God. This makes us brethren. God is not concerned with denominations. He wants His children to know His will, Word, ways and nature. He has set the ministry gifts in the Church for perfecting the saints till we all come to the unity of faith. Ephesians 4:11-13. There are religious spirits or the spirit of error that enter the Church with the purpose of dividing the Body of Christ. 1 John 4:6. We should never give place to them. This is why we must engage the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who is our Teacher. In arithmetic, a little 0.1 degree variance may not be observed on the paper, but when this is magnified over a long distance, we see the flaw glaringly. That's how the enemy sows seeds of error in the Church to derail us from coming to the perfect knowledge of the Son of God.

The Lord Jesus is the Head of the Body. He cares for it, and expects it to come into the fullness of what the Father has purposed from the foundation of the world. It is sad that some denominations pride themselves as the real deal. It is also disheartening that some other denominations have doctrines that don't glorify the Lord Jesus. Any doctrine that is not founded on the Word of God cannot stand the test of time. Denominations should never exalt opinions, fables, personal visions and stories above Scriptures. Mark 7:13. However, Jesus knows all these and will always make all things work for good. However, our role is to ensure the enemy doesn't succeed in causing division or schism. Love is what holds us together. Just like we have a family with individuals of certain differences in traits, character, and flaws. God saw all these ahead. He still expects us to be united. The church is not yet perfect. The most important thing is to hold on to that one faith, and the one hope of salvation which we all believe while we wait in joy for the coming of Yeshua in all His glory. ✡️

Reminder: And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:14 GNB

The Good Fight

The Spirit's Word: Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12 KJV

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:4 KJV


Faith is the centre of our salvation. Salvation is the total set of all we have received in Christ. There may be subsets, but they are all tied to our salvation. At the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word shall be established. 2 Corinthians 13:1. When you find a Scripture that is duplicated over and over again, we must pay attention. '' The righteous or justified shall live by faith'' is one of those scriptures. I have found it in four places in the Word of God. Maybe it is more than four, but I have seen four - Galatians 3:11, Romans 1:17, Hebrews 10:38. If this is not the most important Bible verse after John 3:16, I don't know what else is. Of course, all of Scripture is as important as the other. We live by faith - spiritually and otherwise. We will get to heaven by our faith, and hope also. Firstly, we all have the measure or seed of faith. Romans 12:3. It is given to every man. It comes alive by hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:17. And the Lord tells us to fight the good fight of faith in order to lay hold on eternal life. What kind of fight is this?

It's called the good fight because we always win. How do we know that? For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:4. Our faith is tied to the Word of God, and all He has said concerning the believer is good. Jeremiah 29:11. Overcoming the world includes Satan and his cohorts, because he is the Prince of this world. If believers would care to get the written Word into their hearts by studying and meditation, there is nothing that can confound the Christian. When Satan comes with a thought, word, vision, dream, imagination, or any high thing exalting itself against the Word, the onus is on us to pull it down by refuting, condemning and calling it and him a lie. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Isaiah 54:17. The Word works. It is the Sword of the Spirit that wounds the head of the dragon. It is a sweet fight, because we mock Satan each time with '' it is written''. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but this Word of God is eternal. Be a student of the Word, and delight in it. Always open your mouth against evil, speaking His Word. ✡️

Reminder: knowing the Word also comes with the responsibility of doing it. We cannot lay claims to the things that are ours and despise godly principles. James 1:22-25.

More Prayers Needed

The Spirit's Word: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:19‭-‬20 KJV

The days we have left before the return of our blessed Lord Jesus calls for all kinds of prayers: supplications, petitions, intercessions, thanksgiving, etc. 1 Timothy 2:1-2. Jesus told us that when we come together in agreement about anything, and pray about it, it shall be done. We need prayers for the coming days. We shouldn't only pray for ourselves, but for one another. The Body of Christ is one, and as such, your fellow believer's downfall has a negative impact on the Body which we all belong to. We need to revisit the rudiments of prayers, i.e. continuous pleas unto God. We are not talking about affirmations and declarations. Prayer has rules. We don't have authority over other men's lives, but rather, we make humble requests to God on their behalf. Every man is a free moral agent, and as such, even God will not contravene their affairs until we come to Him. The closer you are to God, the more you get to love the souls of men. We may not know how it happens, but it's the truth. Man's wellbeing is God's priority. What else would He be talking to you about when you commune with Him? God truly loves man. I know this from Scriptures (John 3:16, 1 John 3:16), and experience. It's impossible to love God without loving man.

The power of prayer cannot be overemphasised, let alone the tremendous power available when men and women of like manner are united in the same purpose. This purpose, surely, must align with God's will. Believers can always birth the supernatural in the place of continued prayers. James 5:16-18. It is never too late to pray. Prayer is a continuous call. Sometimes I think of my family, friends and acquaintances. If I dwell securely, and they fall victim of Satan's cruelty, does that keep me in peace? True maturity in Christianity is seen in copious supplications and intercessions. When God starts to trust you with revelations about those around you, it is a call to intercession. The higher you ascend the Holy Hill of God, the more spiritual responsibility you take up. Prayer has many dimensions. A watchman is one set on a high tower. The higher you are placed, the more you see. The horizon is always wider at the top. Don't let a day go by that you haven't prayed for someone, or people. Pray for the unsaved, the sick who are far away, the believers who are living a worldly life, etc. God cares about all. And He is trusting you and I to bring them in. ✡️

Reminder: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 6:18 KJV. Activate the Spirit of grace, and of supplications in your life today. Zechariah 10:12.

Worry Not For The Church

The Spirit's Word: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18 KJV


I have heard some messages about how the devil is running around and trying to destroy the Church. Some men of God have even said it's a possibility if we the Church do nothing about it. Well, it is good we do something but not for the fear of Satan prevailing. Did you not hear the Lord Jesus in the opening Scripture? He is the One that builds the Church. In as much as the devil is constantly running around, devising strategies; he cannot prosper. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
Lamentations 3:37. We are talking about the One who has the scripts in His hands. We are only acting out what is already established in heaven. God will never be moved by the devil. Satan knows this. His aim is to get as many as possible to the lake of fire with him. Revelation 12:12. He has been judged. His end has been determined. John 16:11. Make no mistakes about the purposes and counsel of the Lord, especially His sovereign decrees over the earth, devils and all humanity. If it's a personal prophecy we are talking about, that's different because you have a major role to play. He is the all wise God; the omniscient One.

When the earth was filled with violence, God preserved one man in the person of Noah before destroying the earth. 2 Peter 2:5. When Elijah ran away from the godless Jezebel, he thought she would eventually waste all of God's prophets. Not knowing the counsel of God, he ran for dear life. However, God told him that He still had 7,000 men who had not bowed their heads to Satan in the personality of Baal. Romans 11:4. God is always ahead of the devil. The Antichrist is the seed of Satan, as Satan tries to copy God all the time. Isaiah 14:29. This Antichrist may deceive many, however, it is not possible for him to deceive all. Many saints have been endued with the manifold wisdom of God to confound and call him out. Ephesians 3:10. You don't need to worry about the church of God, neither should you worry for Jesus Christ. He is the First and the Last; the Alpha and the Omega; the Beginning and the Ending. Revelation 22:13. We only engage for our profiting. When Satan assembled Gog and Magog, God let him finish before sending a fire to devour all of them. Revelation 20:8-9. He's always ahead. ✡️

Reminder: I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

A Lying Spirit

The Spirit's Word: And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
1 Kings 22:22 KJV


A lying spirit is behind the lies people tell. In God there is no lie. There are works of the flesh, but a lying spirit is always behind every lie. It is one of the things God hates, after pride. Proverbs 6:16. Satan is all about deception and wickedness. His ministry to steal, kill and deceive is hinged on deception and cruelty. This is a call to everyone still living a lie or tolerating lies, lying as a lifestyle is an automatic ticket to hell. God is not vague about it. Revelation 21:8. Truly, there is no man ever created that has not told a lie in his life. This shows us that these lying spirits are a vast multitude on the earth. However, it is the easiest to defeat. You don't need anyone to cast out a lying spirit. Just decide to tell the truth and despise every lie. Get to understand that God hates it. Flatteries and exaggerations too are part of it, and they corrupt the individual trafficking them. Hear what God: He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
Psalms 101:7.

The words of Jesus when He rebuked the hypocrites: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:44. I saw this Scripture and made up my mind to stop lying. It was that easy. I didn't pray about it. Some harbour deception within. That's iniquity, and it's a dangerous place to be in. Don't let Satan make his abode in you as he did with Pharaoh and sons of Belial as recorded in the Bible. A fountain can't bring forth both sweet and bitter waters. James 3:11. Don't use lies to prey on people, to make yourself wiser in your own eyes. The truth always liberates. Even after you have lied unwittingly, there is always an opportunity to tell the truth. That's a good place to start. Finally, avoid the media as much as you can. There is too much lies being pandered across the airwaves. Keep your mind pure, so the truth of God can also find expression through you. ✡️

Reminder: We can't claim the gift of righteousness, and at the same time dwell with the works of unrighteousness.
