Ignorance, Deception and Fear!

Ignorance, Deception and Fear!

The three arrowheads of satanic trident! The common denominators of every bondage. The repetitive components of satanic chain of slavery. The materials the yoke of the assyrian was made of. The luggage and burdens of hell!

I speak of Ignorance, deceit and fear!

Looking at all Jesus did for us on the cross of calvary and the message of freedom He represents and how believers would still revel in bondages of all kind in spite of all that beats me.

But here we are, we have to deal with it, we can't give up until the Lord's appearing peradventure we'll be able to see some light.

Satan can't operate until his threesome dispatch riders have taken over a soul.

No bondage is possible without ignorance. Organised slavery is a result of organised ignorance. Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. But that after continuing in His word.

[My Offline Bible] John 8
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The labor and heavy loads of life we carry are kept in place by ignorance. Satan must maintain ignorance in a person to keep the person in bondage.

[My Offline Bible] Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

The central key is to learn of Christ. Jesus can't give rest without us learning of Him. God is helpless in saving if the subject hates knowledge.

[My Offline Bible] Hosea 4
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

The system that keeps knowledge from people or such that controls what information people have access to is one that perpetuates bondage. Satanic darkness isn't the same as physical darkness, it is ignorance.

The second of the trio is deception.

Deception is satanic proactive way of blocking the space for knowledge before the opportunity to know the truth comes. You can only deceive one who doesn't have knowledge or one who isn't convinced of truth. Deception may come in the form of twisted knowledge. Deception about destination keeps a traveller permanently away from arrival. Satan is a liar and the father of it.

[My Offline Bible] John 8
44 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.

The battle we constantly fight is the battle for the truth. The bags of Satan are full of all sorts of tricks. His subtilty is the major tool in roping men in as he uses all sorts of good looking and nice sounding lusts to ensnare men.

[My Offline Bible] 2 Corinthians 11
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

All sorts of doctrines, superstitions and practices in churches that have no scriptural basis today are ploys of Satan to deceive. The aim is to move us away from settling in the freedom needed in Christ to be conformed to His image.

[My Offline Bible] Ephesians 4
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

The third of satanic tools of bondage is fear.
I haven't seen something that binds people as fast as fear. Satan uses fear to deceive people into all sorts of bondage. He creates all sorts of threatening and scary scenarios and then wait till fear sets in. He makes men fear death, sicknesses and diseases, poverty and lack. He makes man fear witches, wizards and demonic activities while he offers them fake succour in order to trap them.

[My Offline Bible] Romans 8
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Fear cripples. Fear creates comfort zones of stagnancy. Fear gets us unnecessarily engaged in worrisome activities even if spiritual or religious. Fear brings worry and anxiety. Nothing good comes out of fear. God hates fear and we should. Fear brings the worst of men. Fear turns the deaf ear to wisdom. Fear justifies mediocrity. Fear is failure.

God doesn't give fear. He gives sound mind. Working mentality and not shut down reasonings as fear gives. [My Offline Bible] 2 Timothy 1
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear shuts our eyes to God's presence and puts our faith in what Satan can do. Fear empowers Satan and his kingdom and that's why he invests in it. He uses men too as his agents of fear. Men and women who love to rule over and enslave others in politics, economy and in religion. The fear of men brings a snare. [My Offline Bible] Proverbs 29
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

We all need to check how much of ignorance, deception and fear Satan is using already on us and snap out of that bondage.

The key to the lock is knowledge. Robust knowledge. Full knowledge. Researching into the knowledge of God through God's word and through His Spirit. Knowing God's mind concerning everything that affects every aspect of our lives. You can't afford to snack or use fast foods in matters of life, go for full meals of knowledge and you'll be safe. We must seek to get exhaustive knowledge in the subjects and themes that matter to life and godliness to be safe.

We have the capacity to know. To us is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom and so we have the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge that delivers from every fear. We have received the Spirit of God to know...and not to be ignorant, fooled or frightened. Walk with Him!

Happy Sunday, welcome to a new week.
