Don't be deceived by the illusions

We need to be extremely careful when it comes to our minds. You and I must guard ourselves so that illusions won't deceive us, causing us to become disillusioned. 

Don't believe everyone and everything. Test everything through prayer, and ask the Lord to always reveal the truth to you. 

The enemy wants to control your mind so you can be his puppet  (puppy). If he can persuade you to invite ungodly thoughts into your spiritual house, he will demolish your dwelling place with fear and all types of wickedness!

That is why God tells us to guard our hearts because from it flow the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23). 

Do you see a clean spring of living water flowing from your life (mouth) because you have been thinking pure thoughts, or do you see a muddy spring gushing from within you due to your negative thoughts?

Remember, Jesus Christ told us that  the "mouth speaks what the heart is full of" (Luke 6:45). So be circumspect about the information that enters through your senses. 

The enemy will consistently try to deceive you with illusions (deceptive ideas and misinterpretations). Thus, you must use the Word of God as your 'mindguard' and give the father of lies no access to your spiritual house!
