WON'T YOU GUESS MY NAME?

John 8: 42 – 47
Today all we hear about in the news is “Spin”. It's everywhere, whenever a politician or any person says something in public, “Spin Doctors” come out and tell us what they really meant. The spinners we see most these days are those involves in the national election, and they can make you think that their candidate meant it was daylight when he said it was night.
The master spin doctor, the father of all spin doctors, the spinners spinner is Satan.
43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
He casts himself as the one who wants to give us unfettered freedom and pleasure, carefully masking his plan to steal, kill, and destroy us.
John 10: 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
He even spins the loving laws of God by claiming that God’s boundaries are restrictive, simply intended to take all the fun out of living. When we buy into Satan’s damaging lies, we will eventually find ourselves empty and broken, sidelined in our journey with God.
We have been foolish enough to fall for his lies ever since the garden of Eden. He continually changes his game to go along with the times, constantly gaining strength with those who choose not to listen to Jesus. The blind, ignorant army of the minions of Satan comes at us from all directions with popular culture and seemingly innocent themes. Thankfully, Jesus warns us. He says that Satan is the father of lies. And we know Satan is lying when what he tells us contradicts God’s Word.

The devil is crafty, deceptive, and sly;

He cleverly tricks us to swallow his lie.

But his cunning methods we’re sure to discern

If we make God’s warnings our daily concern. —D. De Haan
