Favorite Quote From This Episode:
"Real subterfuge comes when Satan tries to disguise himself as an angel of light. He will try to say things to us that are not real, that sound so good and right, but aren't right. We need to be ready and alert."
Reflection Question: Is there an area in your heart, mind, or daily routine where you might be believing a subtle lie or letting a convincing distraction pull you away from God's truth? Ask the Lord today: "Search me, God, and reveal any place where I am being deceived."
