How to recover from a deception gracefully. FULL VIDEO https://youtu.be/aBzxQoMJBJ0 FULL ARTICLE https://www.edify.directory/post/tricked-into-lying-don-t-double-down There's a lot of times in these situations where we don't want to say something. We would rather that someone continue in their lie than that we would face pushback. It's less comfortable, as if comfort were our standard, and then we just let the lies keep running. Some of the same people who deny that persecution exists... ...it doesn't even require any physical pain in order for them to turn tail and run. No, it's not persecution. It's peer pressure, you know. If we're going to deny that God has made a change in our life, whether it's salvation or whether it's, "Hey guys, we were wrong," how's God gonna honor it? He's not. Spend a lot of time in prayer as to how God wants you to do that, because sometimes people try to weaponize the truth as a carnal weapon to get back at those who have hurt them. Use God's Word as the antidote to the lies to which you have been exposed. If we never listen to the absolute truth of God's Word,we build up a lot of pride in the way that we excuse ourselves and accuse others. People excuse their inaction because, "If everybody doesn't do the right thing, then there's still going to be negative consequences." Well, If nobody does the right thing, then you are assured of that outcome.

Not only are they lying to you, but they are lying to others through you. And it is a mess. How do you recover? Not by 'saving face.' You can end up trapped by your pride. Pride is the 'Stockholm Syndrome' of Satan's lies. "Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? "There is more hope of a fool than of him." What are the natural outcomes? What's the fruit gonna be of his folly? How do we respond when God corrects us in our folly? "Let God be true, and every man a liar," and that includes me and you. We do need to find forgiveness, and we do have this promise: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Forgive and be forgiven and extend that grace to others as God has extended it to you. Don't go the carnal route and try to get a mob behind you. It's better to suffer for well doing. And if well doing means telling the truth... Use God's Word as the antidote to the lies to which you have been exposed. If you're on the Lord's side, who should you fear?

Yea, hath God said? No one but the Father knows the day or the hour? Yes, God has said. Be careful what you put your faith in. Is your faith in some sign or wonder?

What do we love or hate? What has God said? Justice is to love good and hate evil. Injustice does the opposite. Will we reach out in redeeming love to a world corrupted by sin?
