Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Many people know the Truth, but do not follow it. Why not? Because they have hidden secrets in their heart. So, they deliberately choose to lie (1 Timothy 6:3-5; Titus 1:10,11), and they do this because of the devil, who dominates them. They play with serious matters, falsifying the Word based on what they invent or on someone else’s concepts. They need to repent, for they will not go unpunished.

When sin is intentional, it will be necessary to have a sincere conversation with the Lord, showing deep repentance (James 4:7-10). By lying, one binds himself to the kingdom of darkness, and his soul is caught in the hands of the accuser. After repenting, you must ask that your soul be delivered from the evil one. If the lie spreads, you will be considered guilty by those who believe it. God have mercy!

If you have voluntarily involved yourself with Hell, the evil one will consider himself your master. Your repentance will give the Lord the opportunity to bring you to justice. The author of Psalm 116 said: The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow (v. 3). The same will happen to anyone who allows himself to be used by the father of lies (John 8:44).

After getting right with the Most High, make the safe and functional decision by crying out to Him: Then I called upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul! (Psalm 116:4). The Lord will step in and deliver you, and you, like the psalmist, will chant your thankfulness for what has been done to you, saying: Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful (Psalm 116:5). He delights to act in this way on your behalf!

Distorting the Truth is one of the most dangerous attitudes, because then – you will draw closer to Satan and eternal damnation. Don’t be foolish to call evil good, and vice versa, because with this “simple” statement, you will embrace the one who hates you. Whoever does this will be eternally tormented (Revelation 22:15). Run to the arms of the good Shepherd, who will take care of your soul (Psalm 23)!

You cannot believe that someone is so foolish as to put darkness for light and light for darkness. Even a child knows when something is bad; therefore, the person who gives himself to darkness will prove that bitter will never be sweet. The choice is yours; never let yourself be led astray by the evil one! He only wants your destruction. Jesus gave His life to save you. Love Him!

The Savior said: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30). Accept Him now! Pray the prayer below and be saved!

In Christ, with love,
