KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

Counterfeits actually steal our joy. Abandoning them is abandoning Satan's schemes!

Your Creator has saved you and bought you, and has an extremely FULFILLING mission for you. Don't let Satan fool you into a false sense of reality and being ungrateful!

We must recognize deceptions are EVERYWHERE in this world, even in the midst of so called good things.

“Pleasure Without Joy Is a Ruse” – blog 11/22/24
Satisfying fleshly desires will never be the source of joy; rather, it is, at best, a temporary “drug” to help you through the day. To give into the human heart’s base desires is to give into something that is truly sick and incapable of guiding you to everlasting joy.

A life filled with gratitude to the Lord is a life filled with joy.

We only have ONE IDOL; His Name is the Lord.

TRUST GOD WITH YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
