Prayer Against the Spirit of Deception.

Text: Eph 5:5 — 6

For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has
Any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Introduction
Deception is as an untrue falsehood, or is the act of lying to or tricking someone. It is an act of
lying to distort the truth, to lure someone to act based on the distorted truth.

Examples of Deception
For example, deception is when someone convinces you to drink from a bottle of poison that it
is water. The person knows that when you drink from the bottle, you will die, yet he distorts the
truth, telling you it is water. If the person had told you it was poison, you would never have drunk
it. That is deception.
Some years ago, my cousins had a housemaid who gave her first daughter a bottle filled with
Acid to drink in place of water. It was by the mercy that she survived it.
Deception is when someone invites you to join a secret occult group with the name, ‘Helpers of
destiny’.

You see there is nothing in the name that suggests that it is a secret cult. Anyone can easily join
until after your initiation before they will realize that you have been deceived, covenanted, and
yoked into a secret cult.

This is why we pray.
Deception is when someone tells you that he/she is 30 when the true age is 40, because of
what he wants to gain.
He told you that he is single but he has a wife and three children in another city. He told you that
he is a businessman, but he has no business anywhere. She told that she is a born-again child
of God, but she is eating with Satan.

The spirit of deception is why many nations are impoverished. Leaders deceive their citizens
and make promises they can never keep.
Deception is a Weapon of Satan

Deception is a dangerous, subtle weapon of Satan. Satan covers the fire of hell with glamour
and flashes of beauty and many follow the flashes and end up in the fire.
Satan uses deception to trick people to exchange their destiny and blessing for a moment of
pleasure of sin.

This is why sin appears harmless to billions of men on earth. Satan has succeeded in deceiving
them that there is no danger in the life of sin, but he knows that hell is burning with sinners.
The Lord warning about Deception
But the Lord warned us, about deception.

Eph 5:5 — 6
For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has
any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Deception – Satan can use anyone

In the garden of Eden, Satan used the subtle image of the Serpent to speak to Eve and deceive
her towards disobeying God. If Satan appeared in his dark and judged form, Eve would have
acted differently.

Satan can possess a friend to deceive his friend.
A child can be manipulated to deceive his parents.
Husband and wife can be manipulated to deceive each other.
Many have been deceived with flashy gift of Satan.
Every man must be watchful and pray not to be deceived in this world.

Six 6 things that lead to easy deception
There are 6 things that can cause a man to be easily deceived. These things cause the man’s
conscience to ignore the warnings of deception. They are:
1. Greed
2. Lust of the Flesh
3. Lust of the eyes
4. Pride of life
5. Spiritual blindness
6. Lack of prayer

Anyone who operates his life with these things can be deceived easily. Greed will make him not
examine the facts of what is presented to him, before jumping on it. Lust of the flesh will drive
him to crave to satisfy his immoral urge. Lust of the eyes will drive him to want to have another
man’s materials without going through the right process. Spiritual blindness means that he
cannot see beyond the physical plans of Satan in his dealings. Lack of prayer means that the
man cannot wait in the place of prayer to hear from God, who can expose the deception of
Satan.

Deception leads to a sudden and untimely death.
In many cases the damage and scare can be difficult to erase.
That is why the Lord warned us, saying, ‘Let no one deceive you’.
Ephesians 5:6, Collosians 2:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Mark 13:6, Mark 13:22.

How do you deal with the Spirit of Deception
1. It must be Exposed
You must pray that every Spirit of deception projected towards you be exposed.
2. Kill your greed and your lust
Watch your heart that you are not moved by greed and lust towards the decisions that you
make.
3. You must be sober and vigilant
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour.
4. It must be destroyed
Pray that the Spirit of deception projected towards you be destroyed.
Have you been a victim of deception?
Someone lured you into a relationship with deceptive promises. Today you find out that
everything is a lie.
Someone lured you into a business with deceptive, offers, products and numbers and you lost a
lot of money.

Someone lured you into eating something that poisoned your body.
Someone deceived you into joining a cult group, and today your life is turned upside down
because you cannot come of it.
The Bible said in
Isaiah 49:24-25
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,
Or the captives of the righteous be delivered?
But thus says the LORD:
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
And the prey of the terrible be delivered;
For I will contend with him who contends with you,
And I will save your children.

Today, the arrow of deception fired towards you will be destroyed. It will return back to sender.
