These are evil spirits that lie and deceive people. They entice and lead people The Bible says much about them. 1 Kings 22:21-22 says “And there forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him, wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.”
1 Timothy 4:1 says: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”.
2 Timothy 3:13 has this to say “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived”. Other comments on lying and deception are found in Jeremiah 9:5, 17:9, Micah 6:12, Nahum 3:1.

If you study these passages, i.e. reading the verse before them and after them, you will see the consequences of lying, deceiving and seducing people. The preceding sentence is very important. Never take a verse from the isolation. It is always a wise step to read many verses preceding a verse y want to meditate on and some after, so that you can get a full picture. The scriptures condemn lying and seducing spirits. We take some of them.
Psalm 119:163—”l hate and abhor lying; but thy law do I love”.
Proverbs 6:16-19 — These six things; yea, seven are an abomination unto him; A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren”.
Proverbs 7:21 — “With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with flattering of her lips she forced him”.
Psalm 63:11 —“But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth him shall glory; but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped”.
Isaiah 44:25 —“That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;”
Revelations 21:8 — But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death”.
Serious efforts are needed to destroy these lying and seducing spirits if found in your life. Examine yourself and see if you have any of them. Maybe as you are reading this book and this particular chapter, the devil may be suggesting to you that you are wasting time and that there is nothing like lying or deceiving spirit! You must rebuke this inner voice. Do not mind him for he is an archdeceiver.
