The Father of Lies
Where do all lies come from?
Know your enemy. This wise advice is often contributed to Julius Caesar but was undoubtedly an age old proverb by the time Julius Caesar was ripped from the belly of his mother. This proven principle was discovered not long after men began to began to hate one another or as soon as they began to have to defend themselves from large predators. Conquerors and kings have long built their strategies on this principle as long as there have been conquerors and kings.
When you know your enemy you know the strategies of your enemy so you can defend yourself against your enemy. When you know you enemy you know the weaknesses of your enemy so you can defeat your enemy. Enemies almost never change their core philosophies significantly over time. The tactics and strategies that worked effectively in one generation will work effectively another generation even a thousand years later.
This is why history has been without fail the favorite subject of conquerors and kings. This why conquerors and kings have long employed historians like Herodotus and Josephus to learn and record the history of every people group that they could. This is why conquerors and kings have learned to speak, read and write the languages of their enemy.
This is why the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) warns us to not be ignorant of the tactics and strategies of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka the Devil) (2 Corinthians 2:11).
What are the tactics and strategies of the Father of Lies?
The Father of Lies is a liar. The Father of Lies laid down the foundation of the House of Lies when he first lied about the Word of Truth (Genesis 3:4-5). The lie is his only real weapon to keep people as slaves in the House of Lies as Children of Lies. Lying is his native language and he cannot speak the truth without working in a lie somewhere. The lie is the only thing that he ever originated and the only way he has to get anyone to stay in his house. Those that lie are his children because all lies come from the Father of Lies. That is why he is called "the Father of Lies" (John 8:44).
The Father of Lies is accuser of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him). The Father of Lies accuses the Children of Truth of only loving the Father of Truth because He gives them wealth (Job 1:8-11). The Father of Lies accuses them of only loving Him because He gives them health. (Job 2:3-5) The Father of Lies will continue to be their accuser in Heaven until he is no longer allowed into Heaven (Revelation 12:10).
The Father of Lies is a deceiver. The Father of Lies is as sneaky as a snake and relies on people failing to keep the Word of Truth hidden in their hearts so he can deceive them (Genesis 3:1). He will deceive people into neglecting the Word of Truth by choking them with cares and the pursuit of wealth (Matthew 13:22). He deceives people so they will not keep living in the House of Truth which is the only way to receive the inheritance that the Father of Truth wants them to have (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). He deceives people into associating with those that are disobedient to the Father of Truth so they will be turned away from obedience (1 Corinthians 15:33). He deceives people so their minds are corrupted from the simplicity of obeying the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) (2 Corinthians 11:3). The Father of Lies deceives people into believing the Father of Truth can be made a fool of so that they can sow a life of disobedience to the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) and still reap eternal life from the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 6:7-8). He works like a serpent to deceive all people (Revelation 12:9).
The Father of Lies tempts people to disobey the Father of Truth. He tempts people into disobedience so that the Father of Truth will abhor them instead of giving them the inheritance that the He planned for them (Psalm 106:39-40). He is the one that tempted the Man of Truth (Matthew 4:1). He also tempts the Children of Truth to think that they are beyond temptation when they are bringing others back into the House of Truth (Galatians 6:1-3). He tempts the Children of Truth to return of the House of Lies so that the labors of those who sought to save them from Hell will be for nothing (1 Thessalonians 3:5). He tempts people into disobedience through the desires of their flesh so they will die (James 1:13-15).
The Father of Lies is behind every disease. He will strike the Children of Truth with disease when they are not under the protection of the Father of Truth (Job 2:6-7). He tempts people into disobedience so that the Father of Truth will punish them with sickness (Psalm 106:28-29). He is the root cause of all insanity (Mark 5:15). He oppresses people with disease (Acts 10:38).
The Father of Lies is the opposer of the Word of Truth. He will try to keep you from reading the Book of Truth (The Bible) so that you will not live in the House of Truth (2 Chronicles 34:14-21). He will try to steal the Word of Truth from you so you will not come into the House of Truth (Luke 8:12). He will blind the minds of those that are unwilling to believe the Word of Truth (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). He has commissioned people to bring counterfeited versions of the Word of Truth that contain a counterfeit of the Man of Truth, a counterfeit of the Gospel and a counterfeit of the Spirit of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:4). He tried to corrupt the Book of Truth but was not able (2 Thessalonians 3:17). He has appeared as an angel from Heaven at times to give to give men counterfeits of the Word of Truth that is contained in the Book of Truth (Galatians 1:6-8).
The Father of Lies is a killer. He will try to get you to kill yourself thorough foolish actions (Matthew 4:5-6). He will try to kill you by getting you to not forgive others so that you will not be forgiven by the Father of Truth (Matthew 6:15). He will try to kill you by sending persecution to get you to leave the House of Truth (Matthew 13:20-21). He desires to steal from you every blessing that the Father of Truth wants to give you, to kill you with disease and to destroy every good thing in your life by keeping you from coming to the Man of Truth (John 9:9-10). He makes himself appear as an angel of light to kill you by religious professionals that teach people can have salvation from the curse of disobedience while continuing in disobedience to the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). He is like a roaring lion that is looking for you to put your guard down so he can devour you (1 Peter 5:8).
The Father of Lies is an enemy that no man can overcome on his own but he is no match for the Father of Truth as he wants you to believe.
The truth is the Father of Lies is NOT an evil version of the Father of Truth as can be seen from his history. He was created by the Father of Truth to be obedient to Him and remained so until he chose disobedience (Ezekiel 28:15). He chose disobedience because of pride in his appearance (Ezekiel 28:17). The Father of Lies lead a rebellion after he chose disobedience (Ezekiel 28:16). He tried to take the place of the Father of Truth in Heaven (Isaiah 14:13-14). He has fallen from Heaven (Isaiah 14:12). He and those that are in the House of Lies have a place prepared for them by the Father of Truth (Matthew 25:41). He is alive and well on planet Earth for now but will be tormented forever in the future (Revelation 20:10).
The truth is you do not have to remain as a slave in the house of the Father of Lies. You can come into the House of Truth by believing that the Father of Truth raised the Man of Truth from the dead and by calling the Man of Truth the one who decides what you should do in every aspect of your life (Romans 10:9-10). You are safe as long as you remain in the House of Truth by obeying the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:21). The Father of Lies cannot forcibly take you out of the House of Truth (John 10:29) .
