⚔️ DAY 9: The Power of Deception
The devil fights dirty—don’t be naive.
✅ BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) of DAY 9:
Deception is hell’s favorite tactic — the enemy won’t charge wearing horns, he’ll slip in sounding almost true. Know God’s Word so well that every counterfeit stands out instantly.
🧭 INTRO:
Most men think spiritual war is obvious — a blatant temptation, a dark figure in the doorway, a crisis that demands heroics. But that’s not how hell usually fights.
Satan’s primary weapon isn’t brute force — it’s deception. Lies that sound close enough to truth that you swallow them. Half-gospels. Justifications. Slight distortions of God’s Word that over time warp your entire direction.
That’s why the most dangerous battles are fought in your mind, not your muscles. And why the greatest warriors are men who test every thought by God’s Word before letting it take root.
🗡️ SUN TZU SAID:
“All warfare is based on deception.”
📖 SCRIPTURE ANCHOR (Strategically Matched):
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 (ESV)
