Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



What is the Truth?
More Important - What is a Lie?
Part IV of V

Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window


This is one of those very, very rare studies, that is less scripture and more observations based on the scriptures of God and His kingdom.

For this study to mean anything or help you, you need to be hearing from God. If you do not actually hear His voice - And I do not mean His word, but actually hear His voice - then you will either not believe or have to accept my word for it.

For those of you who do not realize you can and should be hearing directly from God, read John 14:26, 15:26, Romans 8:16, I John 2:20-27 and I John 4:1-3. There are more scriptures to back up my statement of hearing from God, but based on the ones listed above, you should get enough to know and understand that you are suppose to be actually hearing the voice of God.

To hear from God you need to find a place that is quiet with no distractions. Spend 30 minutes every single day listening to and for His voice. First, ask God to help you to hear from Him. Remember to listen means being quiet …not talking but listening.

Now, on to the study at hand. There are only 2 forces at work here.
First is Satan - I say him first, because he is the one most hear from and never even realize it. It is the basic story of good Vs evil. But, not as you think, although you may think it is the same. The fact is that Satan does not want us to know the truth.

If we know the truth and know Satan is real, then, we can also know how to overcome him and evil.

He lies, but most of all he forces his thoughts in and on us.

Think about this - do you really think you have actually ever had an original thought of your own. Every thought you or I have ever had, or will ever have, has already been thought and will be thought again.

Realize this. Understand that if you ignore this fact, or decide not to believe it, think about the next time you have a thought and wonder where did that come from.

Here are the facts:

God is a gentleman. He would never force anything on you. Actually, He offers you the only choice in your life. He offers you a chance to live…really live. He will never force you. He will offer you choices in life. Think of the most perfect father and daddy, this father and daddy is there for you always, no matter what. He will always forgive you. He will always be there for you.

He never tell you anything that would hurt you and does everything to help you.

He will give you peace, love, and joy, and all doubt will be removed about God and salvation.

2 Corinthians 10

3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5. Casting down imaginations (thoughts), and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Paul told us to cast down all thoughts that are not of God, to protect us from Satan.

Satan will, on the other hand, force and lie his way into our lives.

He will try to convince us that he (Satan) does not exist, and if we think he does, then we must be crazy or weak.

And, if we believe him, then we will not believe in God.

Then, he (Satan) has won.

But, it does not end there…he (Satan) will use any way he can to get us to push each others buttons and cause problems for others. That, as well as make anything of God appear as a joke or a lie.

He will even use those claiming to be of God to destroy us.

Without doing all of this Satan knows very well that, we are able to overcome him.

But it requires that we admit that Satan and God are real, and that Satan is forcing his thoughts on us.

Half of the battle is knowing that there is a battle, and what it is.

Hosea 4

6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Revelation 1

6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Think about all you have read so far, and honestly look at yourself, and seek the truth.

I have been told, that if you think an evil thought you have sinned. But, that is not true, what is true is that you are only judged by words of your mouth.

If we sin in our thoughts, then we would also be judged by out thoughts, and not the words of our mouths.

SCRIPTURE (judged by words of your mouth)

Luke 6

36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Enough people accept Satan's lie and tell others; then others will believe, and if enough believe, then the masses will believe, and then the day comes when the lie is accepted and the truth is lost.


There is no such thing as a "Little White Lie", there is no part-truths, part lie, there is only the truth and the lie. No shades of gray, just black and white, the truth is only the truth when no part of any lie is found in it.

Any part of a lie in anything is a lie.

No matter what you think, this is true and it is hard for some to take in, but if you think about it long enough you will realize it is true.

The truth is not something that can be anything but true.

I had a hard time with this at first. Should I tell someone a lie to prevent from hurting their feelings or not? But, if the truth it would hurt their feelings, then I should decide to either tell them the truth and hurt their feelings, or say nothing at all. Even if it hurts, the truth should be told…if it would help. However, if it will not help, then we should learn to keep our mouths closed.

One of the things you may have seen in life, especially from Hollywood, is the idea we can evolve into something more on our own.

That one day we will be able to of our own accord evolve into something more.

However, this too is a lie. It is to get us believing that we do not need God, or that God needs us more than we need Him. Or, it makes us think that God tries to keep us under thumb, but we can on our own evolve.

Satan's top 7 lies:

  • Jesus saves, and you do need to be saved, but not today. Yes, the first 2 of 3 parts of this statement are based on the truth, but the 3rd part is a lie; thus it turns the entire statement into a lie. How? Because the truth is no matter what, salvation is for now, not later.

  • Satan does not exist.

  • Becoming something more is something that we can do on our own. The idea of evolving is something we can do .

  • All thoughts are our own.

  • We can make it by doing or being good.

  • We save others, that what we do can save another. Only Jesus saves, and if we allow God to use us, we can be a help but that is all. You need to always remember you are no more than an instrument. Like a pen in the hand of the writer, the pen does not have any control over how it is used or what it is used for. And, until we realize this and are hearing from God so we can be used, we can mess up what is already in works. It would be like watering a flooded yard.

  • The Bible is the be all and end all. The Bible is a manual to help us obtain the truth by hearing directly from God.

    • There are many more lies of course, but the idea is that we understand the following:

    Our thoughts are not our own. And, until we do realize that, and seek only God's thoughts, we may and will be used by Satan, no matter how much of God we appear to be to others.

    God is good and only wants to bless us, and by truly being of God, we are truly blessed.

    Jesus only saves.

    Now if you decide that this is not important or true, think about this. The way to Hell is paved with good intention. The way to eternal life is through Jesus, and Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit, and we would be TAUGHT ALL THINGS by the Holy Spirit. Notice He said TAUGHT ALL THINGS, not just that of God and the Bible…But all things. So, if you believe Jesus saves and do not believe His words, then you believe the lie not the truth.

    John 5

    37. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

    38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

    Remember, the wisdom of God is foolish to man, and the wisdom of man is foolish to God.

    Therefore, if it appears to be foolish to man, then more than likely it is wise to God.

    In addition, most believe it is ok to talk to God as long as you do not hear from Him.

    But, Jesus said we are to be taught all things via the Holy Spirit. God is a spirit, and that makes the Holy Spirit and God one and the same. Therefore, if we are to be taught of the Holy Spirit, we are to be taught of God. Then, we must hear from God, and to hear we must listen.

    Notice how many shows, books, and ideas are contrary to all we are taught of God.

    Also, notice how much of what we speak is part lie, or part truth, as we have always believed.

    From God you will learn that there is only truth and the lie.

    God is the truth, and Satan is the lie.

    Stated in Milton "It is better to rule in Hell than serve in heaven". For anyone to believe this is foolish.

    And, anyone who believes that they are able to control their destiny and their life eternal on their own is a fool.

    What really blows my mind is that some so strongly oppose anything and everything of God. What can prayer in school harm? What does it harm to have the 10 comandments hang on a wall?

    I agree that there needs to be separation of church and state. Without this we can have problems both ways.

    The problem from our side is too many are trained of man and not God; ergo they are more dangerous than those on the other side.

    For example, the idea of hanging the 10 comandments on a wall as being a problem is a lie and very foolish.

    Satan understands that removing God from the country and the world is a starting step, and then he takes another and another. He is smart and understands that to try and to get man to throw out all association to God would not work and could reveal him. But, by taking the time to remove one item at a time, God and all good will eventually removed and replaced with evil.
