 Once you expose and then begin to resist a lie of the enemy, it's at this point that ungodly thought patterns will show resistance. You see, deceptions are self-defending. Within each deception is a set of backup lies that prevent you from even beginning to pursue truth. So, the moment the truth is presented, the deceptive thought pattern will present another lie to deter you from embracing the truth. For example, the lies that lead the temptation might look like this. Primary lie. This sin will fulfill you. The truth? Truth fulfillment is only found in God. Backup lie. But why live holy now? You're eventually going to fall into sin again anyway. You see, no matter the stronghold it's possible that you'll have to combat a series of lies in order to break through to believe in the truth. That's why you have to make up your mind ahead of time to commit to truth. You must have a serious determination to side with truth.
