What is perception Alteration? And why am I talking about it today.The reason is that I just heard a practicing Muslim saying we must begin to alter perceptions.
Perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information.
The word comes from the Latin words perceptio, percipio, and means "receiving, collecting, action of taking possession, apprehension with the mind or senses."
Alter ... to make different without really changing.
God ... The true God and his true followers are not just altered. They are transformed. Totally changed from the inside out.
So when I talk to you today about perception alteration I want you to be aware of the process. I want you to be wise to the wiles of the enemy. The enemy stared in the garden deceiving. He came to show something that looked great (the eye gate) to the senses, something that they had already been told to stay away from. Then he begin to talk ... (the ear gate), and tell Eve that God said ... but what he said, that God said was not what God said ... it was an altered dialogue because he desired to change a person perception. And that is what he did ... but that altered perception ended in a life of loss and death.
As Christians and non Christians alike we must be aware of these tactics. Islam has moved into the USA, and they are doing what they can to alter peoples perception of the religion that takes lives instead of give it. Religion that puts women and children in danger and also at risk.
I know that some say otherwise, but that is what deception does ... it appears to be good only to find it is not as it seems. It is time to truly get to know the only one true God, through the person of Jesus Christ.
I am not a hater. I love people. I love men, women, children. I love every race and creed. But I detest false religions that deceive. My battle ground is never with people, my fight is a fight of faith. And my battle platform is a spiritual wickedness arena.
These false religious organizations are building mosques, schools and freely soliciting. While Christians are to be silenced? I don't think so. Not here, not now, not ever!
For us to sit back and allow something that we know destroys lives everyday to have place is wrong. It is time to pray ... it is time to get to the streets... it is time to let the truth speak! Truth that will cut between soul and spirit.
Truth ... truth of God ... never operates in the arena of senses. It operates in the deeper realm, in spirit realms. God does not have to depend upon natural sensory to alter people's perceptions.
He moves much more supernaturally than this. He through love offers life and abundance. A life of liberty, peace and rest.
Eph. 6:10-20
10 ¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 ¶ And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
