A truth does not have to be novel to be endearing. “No lie is of the truth,” (I John 2:21), no matter how clever, sensational, and appealing that lie may be. Lies come from Satan, since he is the father of lies (John 8:44). The person who will not bow to truth automatically embraces a lie. There are many subtle, attractive and persuasive lies in the world. The devil is very clever in inventing them and men are very zealous in propagating them. Still, when it is all said and done, a lie is a lie and not the truth.

 

Today in America, Satan invented the lie that the election was stolen from former President, and Satan gave that lie to Donald J. Trump, and Trump propagated it to the Republicans, and they have embraced it, and that lie is believed by millions. Some lies are factual errors, but other lies reveal the utter rot and decay of the innermost soul. For former President Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party and Fox News to claim that the election was stolen, reveals the utter rot and decay of their souls. Today the truth is: America is caught up in this lie of lies, this subtle lie, attractive lie, this persuasive lie; and many have become delusional and two people: a math teacher and a science teacher, are travelling throughout America propagating the big lie. I want us to know that truth is narrow and recognizes only one absolute, whereas error is varied and can accommodate almost anything. The truth is: a lie is a lie!

 

America, I must inform you up front that this is going to blow minds. II Chronicles 18:18-22, when the prophet Micaiah told Ahab and Jehoshaphat the Word of God. Micaiah said, hear the Word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. And the Lord said, who shall entice Ahab, King of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one speak after this manner and another saying after that manner (Verse 20). Then there came out a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him, and the Lord said unto him. Wherewith? And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

 

Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.

America, allow me to put this big lie in perspective. Satan invented this lie, that the election was stolen and put it in former President Donald J. Trump’s mind. Trump shared this sensational lie with others and it was propagated into the Republican Party and spread around.

 

Now, from time to time, God does some unbelievable things. The Lord knew what was in Trump’s mind, which was, destroy democracy in America and he become an autocratic leader of America. Satan invented the big lie. That lie needed a lying spirit from the Lord to combat Satan’s lie. So, the Lord mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof, of Satan’s lie (Isaiah 19:14). A lying spirit hath been put in the mouth of the Republican Party so that the Democrats would know what they are all about. The Lord’s lying spirit has exposed them and Fox News.

 

Others have embraced the big lie but now America knows the truth. The Lord has spoken against Donald J. Trump. My contention is, God has stepped in and put His spirit against the devil’s spirit and God will prevail. O praise His Holy Name. The truth is: a lie is a lie and there is no truth in a lie!

 

The truth is: blacks and whites must come together in November and put all Republicans out of office and save democracy. I know the big lie is sensational and many have joined it, but the truth is: God is well able, He might not; but it is not because He is not able.

 

Now allow me to transition to the Spiritual realm from the political realm, because the political is supported by the Spiritual realm. The truth is: all the annals of time and eternity that God, having become man and robed Himself with human flesh; lived a sinless life in a sin cursed world that never a man spoke like this man; this one whom the angels worshipped; who himself had the power to turn water to wine, who had the power to multiply a little lad’s lunch into a banquet for ten thousand, who had the power to still the surging seas, who had the power to cleanse lepers and raise the very dead; that very one submitted to the horrors of death upon a cross. Praise His Holy Name!

 

The truth is: He died as a victor, with the shout of a conqueror on His lips, He sovereignly dismissed His own Spirit. He was buried and no taint of corruption or decay allowed to touch His sleeping form, but He arose in triumph over sin, death and the grave.

 

The truth is: today He is sitting in heaven at the right hand of the Father. O praise Him today! He is TRUTH!
