A Lying Spirit

    You ask why is it so easy to lie than to tell the truth?
A liar is Self Deceived for he has been tricked or mislead by the devil into believing that if he lies he can get over in life. He can get over on others. But the truth is that lying is a great sign of insecurity and poor self worth. Now what the devil never tells you is that a Lair is an Impostor- a Fake - a Phony. A lair is one who has lost his Identity. He is the Man Behind The Mask and eventually you lose your Self Respect...The truth is that when you lie, you are a puppet on a string, and the devil is the one using you, for he is the Father of Lies.
Here are things you ought to know: lying dulls your senses to Reality--strips you of self respect--alienates you more and more from God and your loved ones-- you enter the World of make belief and fear-- you undermine  your own Success and Future by building on a False Foundation-- lying will eventually destroy every meaningful relationship in your life-- liars in time become Vagabonds, and have to keep moving from place to place as people discover who they really are.  Why do people lie?  They lie to protect self and others-- to cover up something or someone -- for fear of Rejection or fear of Punishment-- to hurt others they dislike-- people who suffer from Low Self Esteem lie to make themselves look good, because they don't like who they really are-- people don't know that white lies leave black marks on a man's reputation-- you will find that a lie has no legs. It has to be supported by other Lies-- it may appear to you that a lie may take care of the present, but the truth is that Lies have no Future. Eventually your sins will find you out -- lies are like a rubber ball in the bottom of a pool. They always rise to the top...Psalms 101:7  "He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight."
Proverbs 6:16-19 "These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."

A Face of Every Season

Ezekiel 1:10 "As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of Man, and the face of a Lion on the right side, and they four had the face of an Ox on the left side, they four also had the face of an Eagle. The face of a Man speaks to us of both Jesus' humanity and ours. This speaks of limitations- frailty- pain- frustrations- failures- insecurities-fears- weaknesses- despair- fatigue- discontent- revenge- resentment- lust- lies- disloyalty- unforgiveness. The face of a Lion speaks of war-rule-authority-fearless- aggressive. This is more apostolic than prophetic. The face of the Eagle speaks of the spiritual christian. This is more prophetic than apostolic. Soar-vision-building-gifts of the spirit-revelation knowledge. The face of the Ox speaks of the ministry of the towel or the face of the servant. Serve-sacrifice-patience-plow-humanity.
