OUTLINE:
What good are all the riches in Heaven if you don’t know how to spend them?
Jas 4:6 [ESV]
But he gives more [greater] grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Deceit
Gal 5:9“A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Counterfeits are most effective when they look the most authentic. Satan uses counterfeits to deceive us, mixing the truth with lies.
Is 14:14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ [This is the same lie that Satan pitched to the woman in the Garden – Gen 3:5]
“imagined”
from anabaino – means to go up; to ascend; carries with it a perspective change; denotes a recovery of sight.
How Lies Work in YOUR Life
Lies promise the same outcome as Truth. In fact, our language has been completely hijacked by Satan’s agencies. In the Garden of Eden, the woman was promised sight, but actually lost it. Beware you don’t fall into the same trap (e.g. if the promise of happiness is based on a lie, you can bet on losing it!)

Satanic lies produce the exact opposite of what they promise.
