The Big LIES

The biggest and most fundamental lie that Satan and his demons promote - both to believers and non-believers alike is this: that there is something more important right now than seeking relationship, intimacy and communion with God through Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. We could call this lie the lie to promote distraction from relationship with God. If someone persists in an undistracted relationship with God for more than a few days Satan's losses already will be immense. Satan knows this and tries every tactic from the extremely subtle to the grossly violent and ugly to get our eyes of Jesus and the love of God which we can enjoy through being right now filled with the Holy Spirit.

Satan uses different 'somethings' in this strategy to keep us from "the intimate knowledge of God". To a Christian, Satan would not usually be so bold as to suggest that these things were more important than knowing God. But he will suggest that "for now", or, "right now", "this or that is more important than knowing God".
