Enjoy the message.

Well, this is our third installment of this teaching on self-deception.

And it's been quite a ride.

I had no idea we would continue to talk about this subject, but it is a big subject.

Because one of the things about self-deception is when you're in self-deception, you don't know it.

You are blind to the self-deception that you may be walking in.

And I am so excited about the fact to understand that when you get delivered from self-deception,

then the plans of God, the prosperity of God, all the things that God has planned for your life can take place.

But it's hard for it to take place when you're in self-deception.

And God wants to deliver you from that. I believe this is the time

for you to go to the next level in your life. I believe that there's some things that God has

planned for your life. But if we don't address the issue of self-deception, we just keep walking

around deceived and not know it. That's the interesting thing about self-deception. When you're deceived,

you don't know it. And what you think is right is wrong, but it's it's it's it's it's it's it's

it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's and so I want to give you a definition of it.

Then I want to give you a quick illustration about how easy it is to be deceived, especially

when you've sat in a situation for quite some time, and you can't see anything else for that.

So jot this down. Let's look at self-deception, what it is. Self-deception is more than a term

that describes someone who does not see the truth.
