The alarm has sounded. What should you do? You are warned to prepare, an earthquake is in the making. What should your next steps be? Can you pass the test? All of us have many tests in our life. How can you make sure that you will be victorious.?
So often we are inclined to think that the only answer God can give our prayers is “no.” We need to remember that “yes” is also an answer. “No” is certainly an answer of love on the part of our Heavenly Father when we ask Him for things that are not really for our good or for His glory. Does God answer yes if it is his will? Does He give us what he has promised in His word?
Suffering and illusion have many things in common. Satan uses these two words to deceive and mislead the Christian into believing a lie. In contrast, an allusion is a reference to a famous person, character, place, or event that the writer uses to deepen the reader’s understanding. Allusions are also frequently used in our speech. An allusion is a concise way of communicating multiple meanings. Think of it like a writing shortcut. You could spend a paragraph or two describing why sickness is a weapon of Satan or you could quote a Bible verse that instantly communicates healing is a gift from God.
Allusion and illusion are two different words but like an illusion can be confusing. Allusions are used to add depth and meaning to things (i.e. scriptures from the Bible), while illusions are used to describe something that appears to be one way but is actually something else. This is seen when one compares the physical world to the spiritual. Christians love allusions, while worldly men love illusions. Illusions are often related to visual perception, what one is thinking and feeling.
What has been entrapping you? Are you unable to achieve your dreams? Are you believing the true lies that have been told in the Bible? By the way what is a true lie?
