Page 277 - Lunacy and the Age of Deception
P. 277

Solomon is here.

               If you want to avoid deception, one indispensable thing is required. You must walk closely to the
               one  person  who  can  never be  deceived. If  what  I  am  suggesting  sounds  too  simplistic,  or  so
               spiritually minded that it is of no earthly good, I entreat you to hear me out.

               If left to yourself to rely only on your abilities, education, and understanding, are you able to
               recognize every lie, every illusion, and everything that is false? I do not have this ability. Neither
               does any man or woman born of Adam. We are finite beings. Our understanding and knowledge are
               finite. Even as there are people who are stronger than myself, there are also people who are smarter,
               have greater wisdom or cunning. Left to my own resources, I could be deceived. The same is true
               of every person who has ever walked this Earth, with one exception. Neither the wisest among men
               or angels can fool, trick, or deceive the Son of God. Jesus Christ/Yahshua the Messiah cannot be
               hoodwinked. Period. Not even Satan, the great deceiver who deceives the whole world, can pull the
               wool over His eyes.

               In an hour of gross darkness where deceit is universal, there is one person I want to stay close to.
               That is the person who is light, in whom is no darkness or shadow. I want to walk with the One who
               is Truth, and who is alone qualified to judge every lie and to expose every falsehood. To borrow a
               metaphor used in the Scriptures, we are all like sheep. We need a Shepherd to guide and protect us.






















               Although all Christians have access to the protection, counsel, wisdom, and guidance of Christ, not
               all avail themselves of these divine resources. The Bible states:


               I Corinthians 2:11-16
               For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him?
               Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the
               spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us
               by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by
               the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the
               things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because
               they are spiritually appraised... For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct
               Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

               Although we have been given access to the wisdom and knowledge of God through the Spirit of
