Satan is the master of lies and has convinced many that there is no God and that the ultimate freedom is to live in perversion or self-indulgence. If it were such an honorable and fulfilling lifestyle, why do we now have Karens and Kevins running around without emotional control? Persuasion is a powerful tool, and deception is inevitable without the Holy Spirit's guidance. I do not pretend to understand the darkness surrounding the US and our world, but the Holy Spirit offers spiritual discernment. I speak the truth and stand on the firm foundation of God's Word, and the Holy Spirit will do all the persuasion. Expect a backlash, but that doesn't mean God's Word is null. The story below is about perseverance when sidetracked and how to refocus. It is okay to get sidelined, but when it is time, God will send someone to get you back on track.
