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
