How gullible are you? Can you be fooled pretty easily? Most people are overly confident that they cannot be deceived and they would recognize a fraud or being taken advantage of better than most… and those are exactly the people who get taken advantage of the most.

 

 

Deception

A woman who says she bought magic wands from a self-described psychic to erase negative thoughts says $5,400 of her money was all that disappeared.
Joann Zansky, 57, said she paid a woman who claims to be a psychic $1,800 for each of three wands.
"She was a terrific actress," Zansky said. "I believed her."
Zansky said she contacted Bethlehem police after she became suspicious about the effectiveness of the wands.
"We're investigating," police Lt. Robert Righi said. "Possibly it is some violation of consumer fraud."
No charges have been filed against the woman named in the complaint. A person who answered the phone at the woman's business said she was unavailable.

 

Heres a question who should you be more mad at… the woman selling you the fake magic wands or you for believing in the fake magic wands… We could debate that all day, but lets get back to it in a second. 

 

 

No one, and I mean no one likes to be deceived, taken advantage of or fooled. It belittles you and makes you feel foolish and look gullible to those around you. 

The last time you were taken for a ride, how did you feel? What did you want to do to that person… probably some not so nice things. And maybe rightfully so… but still its not as bad as… as bad as what? Remember the question about the magic wands? Who should you be most upset with - the person selling the magic wands or you believing the magic wands? 

 

So to be deceived by someone is bad… but there is one thing that trumps being deceived by someone…

 

James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

 

OUCH… yea thats right. When you deceive yourself it really stings. So my answer to the magic wand question is you should be more mad at yourself for deceiving yourself for believing the sham. 

 

How man of you right now are deceived thinking that you are a pretty good christian man (or woman if you are listening) You go to church, you read your bible, you attend bible study, you give in the offering… But you don’t do the word. You don’t really live it, you don’t really practice it… You are deceived… worst of all, you are deceived by yourself. No one to blame. As Robert plant has so eloquently sung “its nobody’s fault but mine”. 

 

See the problem with self deception is that you live it for so long you actually believe it, and others do too. 

 

So they thought he was a she…. 

He was a She: Everyone thought jazz musician Billy Tipton was a "he". Only as Tipton was dying at 74 in 1989 did paramedics discover "he" was a she. Tipton began masquerading as a to get gigs in the '30's--and later married and adopted three sons. Even his kids didn't know until after the death. Said one: "He'll always be Dad." -Time man

 

Now you ask… how can that happen. How can you go so long deceiving yourself and others… someone has to find out at some point right? Apparently not until death.

 

There is the lesson. Maybe you are so deceived that you may not find out that you are a phony until death… when God says… uh excuse me “who are you?”.

 

So what’s the solution “DO THE WORD”. As my Dad said a 1000 times Read Pray and Obey… to complicated still??? I will dumb it down for you READ PRAY AND DO! Don’t poser, be a doer!
