The devil’s counterfeit

Posted on by asherdc89

The devil has his counterfeits to whatever God does according to His word. Therefore, it looks very similar to the real thing.

It’s so deceptive, that people who have accepted his counterfeit will not only see it as a counterfeit, but reject the truth as a counterfeit. Even if his counterfeits are seen in contrast to the truth, where there is a clear distinction by God’s word.

How can we tell the difference between the truth of God’s word, and the Devil’s counterfeit to it?

First we look for that which is plainly stated emphatically in the Scriptures themselves. Being self explanatory. We look to at least 2 or 3 witnesses. For every word is established by 2-3 witnesses. Demonstrating Scriptural consistency. 2 Corinthians 13:1. And we meticulously go through and take each detail into careful consideration.

It’s to not only study the truth, but be in relationship with it. God is the truth. And the Devil is the father of all lies, and deceiver. So we can know the truth in contrast to something that may only appear to be true. This could only be done by genuinely seeking God in prayer, and not looking to your intellectual reasoning, logic and impulse.

Due to the fact the devil seeks mastery over us through the manipulation of our senses. Whereby through the subtle persuasiveness of his deceptions and sophistries, people are deluded by reason of experience.

For this reason, by faith in God’s word as the truth alone, we can be able to distinguish the difference between the truth and the devil’s counterfeits.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
