Did you know you're a target for Satan's deception?

It's Wednesday, October 24th, and you're listening to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Remember the shooting gallery at the state fair? Remember how the little yellow ducks sailed by as contestants with rifles raced to shoot down as many as they could? Well, imagine that you're a little yellow duck and Satan has just paid his quarter. But instead of shooting blanks at you, he's filled his weapon with lies meant to knock you down.

Would you know how to withstand him?

Today on Revive Our Hearts, we'll learn how to brace ourselves against the evil one

when Nancy talks to a small group of women about the origins of deceit.

Here's Nancy.

I'll never forget the night that I sat in a restaurant across the table from a young mother of seven children

who shared with me that she had met a man on the internet, had met with him several times, had established a relationship with him,

and was now thinking seriously about leaving her husband for this man. For a period of about a couple hours, I looked

into this woman's eyes, I pled with her, I begged her to consider what it was that she was

really doing, to consider the implications this would have for her marriage,

for her children, for her walk with God. She was a graduate of a Christian college, had been a church

attender for many years. But she looked at me and she said, but this man, the man she had met over the

internet, he's so good to me and to my children. Now, it seems obvious to us in this

very extreme case that this woman had been deceived. And we think I would never get deceived

in that way. But you know what I'm discovering in my own life? Satan knows how he can get me

deceived. He knows where I'm vulnerable to be misled. He

knows where you're vulnerable to be deceived. He knows there is something that he can get you

to believe that may seem unthinkable to someone else to believe. The most deceptive lie,

wouldn't you agree, is really the one that's closest to the truth.

It's so subtle that it's mostly truth, but it's got a mixture of error that makes it deceptive.
