The process beings with serving self pleasure. The person feels heavy guilt and hids his or her sin, but continues to dabble when stress builds. Eventually the dabbling becomes as habit.<BR/><BR/>From habitual sin begins the need to justify the actions so the guilt is bearable. It is sometime during this process that the person's talking to God changes from one of words of guilt to creating reasons why God would not mind the behavior.<BR/><BR/>Once the behavior is justified the deception moves toward telling himself or herself that the relationship is actually ordained by God.<BR/><BR/>It is bizzare to us who are walking closely with God that anyone could actually believe a particular sin is blessed by God. But that is why it is called deception. It denote an inability to discern truth any longer.<BR/><BR/>We are all capable of being decieved. That is why it is so important that we have a daily walk with God which includes allowing God to convict us of sin and doing whatever it takes to walk away from it.<BR/><BR/>Shirley FayYHWH Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730520594469821542noreply@blogger.com
