Galatians 5:7-8 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.

This world, people, religion, sin & everything else is trying to distract us from the truth & God's purposes that we have in our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

Satan is the Father of lies, he is the tempter & deceiver, who has come to cause division, distraction, & ultimately to thwart God's plans.

Evaluate your life & whose in it; & anyone or anything leading you further from God should not have influence in your life. In Christ, we started in the Spirit, so we must crucify our flesh daily, take up our cross, so we can finish in the Spirit.
