The commission given to Paul by Jesus
Christ the Lord, from heaven
Acts 26:17
"I am going to send you to the Gentiles, to open their eyes so that
they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then
they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God's
people, who are set apart by faith in Me"
And so he did , turning the world
upside down, bringing freedom to so many and giving hope in a hopeless world.

Satan's lies.
One of his first lies can be summarised:
'Disobeying God's command doesn't matter'
Or in the Bible record:"Did God
really say you must not eat of the fruit of the garden?" - after sowing seeds of doubt, the lie is
more direct: 'You won't die, God knows that your eyes will be opened....when
you eat you will become just like God ..'
(Genesis 3)
We today suffer the consequences of
Adam and Eve disobeying God!
Jesus Christ said of the Devil:
"There is no truth in him. When
he lies, it is consistent with his character, for he is a liar and the father
of lies." (John 8)
John the apostle is more specific
about the command that affects us directly:
"This is His commandment – we must
believe in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ and love one another." (1 John 3)
The lie given to our generation is
that Jesus is just a man, and at best a prophet.
The angel Gabriel and God the Father
declared that Jesus was and is the Son of God, the Saviour of the world.
Believing the lie of satan will take a person to satan's destiny – the lake of
fire.
