The Allies built an entire fake army on the ground, made out of inflatable tanks, airplanes and trucks. This massive phantom army even had fake tracks made at night, so that the illusion of troop movement would seem to be apparent. But one more thing to make the deception complete. Fake radio messages, early deceptive intel was broadcast to support the fake troop movements on the ground. For months this went on until the fateful day. On June 6th, 1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower attacks Nazi occupied France on the beaches of Normandy. This attack would be a critical blow to Germany’s hold on France and eventually crucial to them losing the war. None of this would have been possible if the deception was not successful.

From day one, satan has used sleight of hand and misdirection to fool, tempt and trick humans into either direct sin, simple denial or deep depression that almost always leads to separation from God. Once he can break the connection, the enemy can create separation. If he can create separation he can achieve spiritual exile. Exile then becomes the prelude to death. All of this possible by starting with simple deception. All of us have our sweet spot where we are most prone to be deceived from. satan knows it, and his minions know it. Why? They have been watching you from the day you were born. Gathering crucial intelligence for executing their attack at just the right time. Whether it’s the early teen years, mid twenties, late thirties or even later. The enemy is patient, he plays the long game, waiting for the right moment to strike so that he can execute the attack at our weakest, using minimum resources. But be not dismayed the Lion of the Tribe of Judah walks in front of you, beside you AND behind you. He is your leading attack, your side flank and your rear guard. Protecting you against the enemy’s sleight of hand and misdirection. His omni-presence is ever sure and always ready if and only if you desire Him in your life.
