The great illusion of life is the primary device that Satan uses to deceive people. Satan doesn’t create anything, but he destroys everything. That is his goal; To destroy what God has created. However he presents everything as an illusion: The thing that will destroy me is presented as attractive, pleasing to the eye, desirable, cool, helpful, fun, exciting, and it is all available now. That was his discussion with Eve in the garden. Gen.3:1-6
This destruction is the contamination and death of life and of: …… (everything that it touches) Adam and Eve immediately knew they were in trouble because something changed within them. The great life of living in the perfect garden without a care in the world, and walking with God each day and discussing the issues of that day, ended. Since that time, we are all dead people walking; Unless we have been born again!
As I sat in the airport observing all the dead people walking and walking and walking to who knows where ….. looking for life …… some fleeing from ….. searching for someone ….. getting away to look for themselves …… (scripture calls us “dead in trespasses and sin) ….. dragging their baggage with them ……
Since I am alive and born again, I have passed back from death into life. So, The illusion that attaching myself to someone who is dead and that that will be great and a good idea?; Is just that; ….. an illusion …. It will only bring death and sorrow…..
Another word for illusion is “bait”.
