 BEWARE OF LIES Satan destroys (lies), divides (counterfeits) and discourages (deceives). He is an accuser and a slanderer casting aspersions on the character and nature of God as if God is a liar and is not safe. The devil tries to deceive us, but what he does is to project his own evil intent and malevolent character on God. He wants us to doubt that God can save the least, the lost, the broken and the enslaved. But that is what the power of the Cross accomplished!

 PEACE God, You alone are that unique place of peace that cannot be disturbed!

 RIGHT WITH GOD Trying to become "right with God" indicates a lack of confidence and hope in the atonement of the Cross of Jesus Christ, God alone can make me right with Himself and He does so through the Life, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ and by Him alone. I am to accept and embrace the fact that salvation is of God alone!

 ABLE? We are so arrogant and systemically seduced into thinking that we are capable to or competent to run our own lives. We are not. We were never meant to live in rebellious independence apart from God. In that state, we will never become fully human ever again.

KNOWING THE TRUTH Micah 6:12 "Your citizens are so used to, lying that their tongues no longer tell the truth."

 DEPENDANCE I embrace utter dependence upon God when I realize and accept that I bring nothing to the table. Change takes place because He is Life within me and salvation (life transformation) is done by God alone. The Holy Spirit IS Life within me and it's by His revealing and applying the Word of God to me that I ever know salvation. My circumstances do not determine the will of God. His Word alone does that.
