THE SEED OF DECEIT
We all claim Jesus as Lord, and yet for many Christians there remains a distrust in the belief that what we say we believe is real. If we are honest within ourselves there are a great number of times when this world has convinced us that what we feel and believe is within our minds alone. I too can remember the days in my past when I felt that way too. This world that is filled with lies and deceit is ready and geared toward the goal of separating us from any kind of faith in Christ, and for some very good reasons.
Even without the help of any outside sources we can withstand the harshest of physical discomforts and trials. I have personally felt what it is like to be beaten so low with body pain that I could not even start to work on a project that my heart wanted to do. The spiritual parts of our make up are so strong that even if our body is torn under the worst kinds of pain we can still function. I believe that was demonstrated in Jesus punishment before and during His Crucifixion. Many times we do not understand that in coming to God for salvation this world is no longer our true home, and it will begin to treat us as outcasts, and strangers...we will be treated as foreigners, and outcasts in the same way as our body would fight a foreign object that invades our physical system. On top of that is the revenge of the enemy of God that is brought into play as we are no longer subjects of the kingdom of darkness. All of this is brought into play when we begin to rely on Christ Spiritually, and so there is no wonder that we often have such difficulty within this life.
If we can only begin to recognize the true deceit that is within this world about what is real and what is false that God is willing and able to show us through His Spirit things would change. If somehow you could understand that we live in a completely turned around state of mind and heart where what we think is real in our life is nothing but smoke and mirrors, and the real truth is in the spiritual realm; our concentration would be completely different. As God begins to open up our minds to receive the truth we can expect to be hit with everything that that world has to deceive us into thinking that we are on the wrong track...THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE as is said, but we are charged with the need for the amount of faith and belief in Christ to find it. Can you imagine how powerful that revelation would make the church of today in this world if we would only see the reality from the deceit? The more I wake up to the reality that is in front of me through Jesus Christ my Lord the more power in His Spirit I receive to endure what ever this world can throw at me. It is very easy for us to be deceived by the physical things that happen within this world because this world and the mindset of this world are controlled by the enemy of God, but when we set our minds on Christ alone we have an entirely new set of standards and rule to play from. You have the true power to see and operate within God reality if you live in Christ...but we have to seek after Christ every day...not just from time to time.
The life we now lead is the fantasy...not the reality that we think it is, and it is time that we begin to wake up the Bride of Christ so that we can live as true children of the King...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
