Edward, what a good topic to bring up right now. The realm of illusion is rampant, it's real. Deception is everywhere, people are being deceived and don't even know it. TV ads on sickness and what to do if you have any of these symptons, ads on cell phones trying to persuade you in a certain direction, searching the internet pop ups, newspapers, magazines at the grocery store. The sons of God have been on a path, some of us for years, that have taken us through storm after storm and we overcame them. However; whenever illusion and deception raises its ugly head, whispers lies and more lies in our spiritual ear it begins to work on us. Before we can realize it's straight from hell and meant to destroy us, there's that light within the sons that flips to "on" in the nick of time. That's when the battle begins! Do we lay down and let the enemy take us hostage, imprison us, torture us, kill us? Or do we know in that moment EXACTLY what's going on and take authority over it? We as sons of God should know by now when our thoughts and even our physical body gets side ways, none of that is of God. It comes from satan, from illusion and deception. I usually recognize it and battle right away in the spirit, but I confess there are times when I'm deceived and ride that lie until "I finally get it!!" It's a test, and we know better than to let it go that far. I've learned to thank God for whatever comes my way, good or bad, and He brings me through every time. It may be a while before the fog clears, but it will clear if we believe and then we'll see, rather than whine and cry "show me God and maybe I will see!! The enemy is doing everything in his power to bring the sons down, and that's good. Because that shows he's afraid of us and knows his time is about to come to an end. Sons of God don't give up, but rise up and battle the deception, illusion and lies, God will bring us through. Victory is near!!
