April 11 – Illusions
In Your light shall we see light,” Psalms 36:9.
False Perceptions: Eighty five percent of our problems in relationships are due to perception. Sometimes we see things through the fake-tinted glasses of the enemy, unable to see Truth. When we see through the fake glasses, we accuse people falsely and implicate them without evidence. We look at the situation through false perceptions and that situation can turn out messy and murky through our reactions.
We get distorted impressions of others. We might find ourselves irritated or frustrated with a certain person. Nothing the person does seems right. We feel that person needs to change. The truth is, we may need to change our thinking.
Wars are caused by fear perceptions. We see this in reality. One nation starts attacking another out of fear and insecurity. The most insecure people are the most attacking ones. As animals smell fear and attack, we humans emit the smell of fear who cause us to get aggravated and attack. We see this everywhere. People attack their opponents out of the fear that they would overtake them and become more powerful than them. Fear perception wants to bring down or suppress opponents through lies, conspiracy, and even murder.
Power Paranoid: People in power such as in politics fear that their influence is threatened, mobilize people to take to mob violence, lynching, and killing in frenzied madness. Politicians fear their wrongs will be found out plan murders and hire hit men to carry out their heinous crimes. They attack before the other person attacks them (they act in fear of an imagined attack, which would usually never happen).
We have a will, given by God and it is on exercising our will and being aware of these false illusions, we can send them out of our lives. Sometimes, we may need to battle with them for a season before they actually leave us and slink away. Practicing His presence is our greatest deliverance from them.
Negative illusions get attached to different emotions. They gain stronger attachments to us when we display our weaker emotions such as anger, rage, gluttony, fear etc. They feed on our emotions.
If we walk close to God and in faith, we will experience gripping attacks leave us.
