The Word of God is reality. God is truth!

Satan is deception, perversion, corruption, he can act “like” .

Proverbs 28:15 NKJV Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over poor people.

1 Peter 5:8 NKJV Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NKJV For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Does God want you to have a long life?

Ephesians 6:1-3 NKJV 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

1 Peter 3:10-11 NKJV 10 For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. (Psalm 34:11-14).

Deuteronomy 34:7 NKJV Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.
