FAITH LIFE !
GOD's Word is
When we look at what is happening around the world today, there is no
question we are living in uncertain, troubling and dangerous times. Every
time we switch on the television or pick up a newspaper; hatred, strife and
acts of pure evil are openly displayed, causing people great distress and
evoking feelings of hopelessness and fear. Political corruption and eco-
nomic collapse are on every front, leaving people outraged and bewil-
dered concerning their future.
Perhaps what is even more disturbing, is the fact that in the midst of all the
uncertainty and turmoil around us, there is an overwhelming amount of
deception concerning what is false and what is true. Throughout the ages,
this world has seen many troubling times, yet none have been marked
with such a staggering failure of moral compass across the globe as we
see happening today. You see, sound moral compass has always been a
stabilising contrast to the instability that surrounds it, because its bearings A few days ago, I was reading an article written by Gloria Copeland. She
are based on the eternal truth of God’s Word. However, today’s seemingly
‘progressive’ opinion has steered entirely away from any biblical stand
point. It is deceiving people and steadily pushing them further and further
away from the only stabilising truth in this word, God’s Word.
Many people find it difficult to believe God’s promises because they see
so many things in this natural world that are in stark contrast to them. The
promises they are standing on God’s word for seem to fail them and dis-
couragement tips the scale of hopelessness and desperation in their lives.
But more than ever before, I know there are believers that have felt an
intense roar stir on the inside of them. A warrior like cry, from the depth of
their spirits to rise up and declare the truth that the devil is a deceiver and our eyes saw one thing, we refused to believe it because we knew it wasn’t
God’s Word is true!

BY ANDRÉ & JENNY ROEBERT
You see, the devil has always been a deceiver, in the Garden of Eden, he
deceived Adam and Eve with half-truths. He tricked them into mistrusting
God’s character and faithfulness, and caused them to believe that God’s
Word isn’t true. He has had plenty of practice using this same tactic on
every generation since. He does everything in his power to make things
look as if God’s Word is outdated and irrelevant and simply doesn’t work.
He skilfully makes a convincing argument against the truth and power of
God’s incorruptible Word, as he sets up circumstances and whispers lies
into the hearts and minds of people, bringing confusion and doubt.
Well, the time has come for believers all around this world to stand up and
decide that we don’t care about what the devil has set up as appearances.
We believe the Word of God and we refuse to doubt its truth!
likened the devil’s deceptive nature to a cleverly produced magic show.
We’ve all seen those illusions when someone crawls inside a box and then
is sawn in half. You can see it with your own eyes. The person’s feet are
sticking out one end of the box and their head is poking out the other. And
the box is separated as it is plainly cut in two,. Then, the magician slides
the two halves back together and the person who appeared to be in two
pieces, jumps out of the box in one piece!
Did we believe, even for one moment that the person was actually cut in
half? Of course not! We all knew that we had seen an illusion, something
that appeared one way but in reality, was completely untrue. Even though
the truth.
