In denying the resurrection, Satan attempts to cloud the truth of God’s grace and his redemptive plan for man. Beware of such falsehood.

We were just about to start our prayer meeting when Alan asked a question, “I was watching this documentary on TV last night where they said that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and went to live in France. They said they found a grave with his bones in it. Do you think it’s true?” As one, the prayer group was able to set Alan’s mind at rest, reassuring him that Jesus warned us that many false teachers would come and deny the truth of who he is. We pointed out that the truth will always be contradicted by the devil’s lies. Jesus is the Truth, and the devil is the father of lies.
Psalm 25:5
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.
Satan’s fall was as a result of his attempt to supersede God. But he is just a created being and not the Creator. Therefore, he was expelled from heaven and became the enemy of the truth. Satan cannot create anything new; he can only counterfeit what God has already created. This is evident in how he mimics and distorts the truth of God’s word. In this instance, he has taken the truth of the historical existence of Jesus and the relationship he had with his disciples and distorted this truth with tabloid sensationalism, indicative of our day and age.
In denying the resurrection, Satan attempts to cloud the truth of God’s grace and his redemptive plan for man. Beware of such falsehood. The Bible warned us about conspiracies like these thousands of years before these conspirators were even born. We are told that those who teach false doctrine (like this) are conceited and have an unhealthy interest in controversies resulting in envy, strife, malicious talk and suspicions. But Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
So, if you’re bamboozled by the outlandish conspiracies you see on TV or YouTube then let me encourage you to exercise the power of the finger… just switch it off! Fix your mind on things of God and resist the controversies of the father of lies. Walk with your face toward the light of God or you will stumble in your own shadow. Be encouraged to test everything by the certainty of word of God. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will keep you free.
God-tracking is walking in truth.
