Illusionist

If you think that David Copperfield really made the Statue of Liberty or the Oriental Express disappear then there stands your first hurdle to jump.  He does a very good job at creating an illusion that is designed to make you think that in fact he did.  The fact of the matter is we know that it appears that the objects have vanished into thin air, but the truth is that we know that Lady Liberty is still standing in the harbor and the Oriental Express still glides along its tracks.  Now if Mr. Copperfield can trick thousands with a sleight of hand – what do you think that the enemy of our minds can seemingly make disappear or cause you to believe doesn't exist?  Harry Houdini and David Copperfield are the greatest of our time at making you doubt what you know to be true and they are mortal men.  What chances have you to battle the enemy at his own game?  Deceit and doubt are what he does best.  He is the father of the lie.  The only way to get the victory is to trust in Christ Jesus alone. You cannot beat him alone.  Hold on to your faith in God to keep the right perspective.

Below: Do you see two faces or do you see a vase? Perceptions can change.  The fact is that both are visible.  The truth is relative to what YOU see and you believe to be true.  If you believe that God will honor his word – he will.  If all you see is doubt and despair; and you have accepted that your plight in life is all that you see right now, then that is what you shall have.
