> A few years ago, while I was out of town speaking at several meetings in
> Iowa, I stopped in at a little Bible bookstore. While I was there, I met a
> man who was a minister and pastor of one of the local denominational
> churches. He told me of all the great things his church was doing and how
> he was teaching his people the whole truth about the Bible.
>
> While we were talking, I reached down and picked up a book by Billy
> Graham on angels. The minister immediately stopped talking and looked
> intently at me and said. "You don't believe in angels and demons do you?"
> At first I thought he was joking and then I noticed that he wasn't 
> smiling.
> He went on to tell me his philosophy. He said that at his church, he had
> taught his people that demons and angels do not really exist. Instead of
> actually being spirit beings, they were merely a representative of good 
> and
> evil in the Bible.
>
> Well, let me say this: angels and demons do exist. God's Word, the Holy
> Bible is true. It's not partially true. It's not mostly true. It's all
> true. Everything it says, everything it promises, is true. If the Bible
> tells about demons and angels, then they do exist.
>
> Evidently, this minister was trying to tell me that he believed some
> parts of the Bible but not all of it.
>
> The bottom line is this: that kind of thinking is confused and wrong. We
> must believe the whole Word of God. There is no middle ground.
>
> The Bible tells us in (Titus 1:2) and (Hebrews 6:18) that it is
> impossible for God to lie. Every word that proceeds from His mouth is 
> true.
> Everything that He says will happen, will happen. What He says He will do,
> He will do. Not only does God not lie, but God cannot lie. It's 
> impossible.
>
> Satan, on the other hand is a liar. Jesus said in (John 8:44) that Satan
> is a liar and he is the father of lies. There is no truth in him. Jesus
> went on to say that when Satan speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
> resources, for he is a liar.
>
> So, here we have it clearly divided. On one hand, we have God who will
> not and can not lie. On the other hand, we have Satan who will not and can
> not tell the truth.
>
> Now, if someone tells you that something in the Bible is not true, where
> do you think that comes from? Satan, of course! Whenever God speaks,
> whether it's through His Word or whether it's to your heart by His Holy
> Spirit, as soon as the words leave His mouth, Satan is there to lie and
> confuse.
>
> That's what happened in the Garden of Eden. God told Eve one thing and
> Satan implied that God didn't really mean what He said. He made Eve think
> that it was possible for God to lie and it destroyed her. That's what 
> Satan
> wants to do to you and me.
>
> Faith is the key to everything in the Bible. Salvation, healing, peace,
> and victory all depend on faith. Believing that God does not lie is the 
> key
> to faith. If Satan can get us to believe that it is remotely possible for
> God to lie, then our faith will be small or nonexistent, and that gives
> Satan an advantage in our lives.
>
> God loves faith and Satan hates it. Faith will destroy Satan's kingdom.
>
> So, remember this and you will take the first step toward victory. God
> cannot lie and Satan cannot tell the truth.
