Follow Jesus!

People do what reaps some kind of benefit. If you don't like something, you probably won't do it or continue to do it.

This is where Satan decieves people. He gets them to try something they think they will like and the next thing you know, they are enslaved by it. This is seen in drug addiction, alcoholism, or any addiction. These are extreme cases, but Satan will do it with whatever he can deceive you with.  

For example, think negatively so you won't be dissappointed in life when things don't work out. Talk about people so you feel better about yourself. Be tough and mean so people won't mess with you. Store up money and possessions so you won't ever have to do without. Think only about yourself because "if you want something done you have to do it yourself." These are just a tiny, miniscule amount of the ways that Satan weaves deception into our culture, into our perspectives, into our minds. Oh, here's a big one that isn't even in the Bible, "God helps those that help themselves." Not true! 

It's all a big mess of deception. 

So, don't accept ways of thinking that have seeped into culture. Don't let people influence you or try to get you to act or think a certain way. 

"Do not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" Romans 12:2a.

Base your life on God's word. Base it on how He wants you to live on this planet because He loves you and only wants the best for your life.

Ephesians 5:8-10 NIV [8] For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light [9] (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) [10] and find out what pleases the Lord. 

Ignore the rest of the stuff that wants your time and attention. Because Satan uses whatever to entrap you, enslave you, and destroy you. Don't fall for it.

Remember, we are "more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37 NIV

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21 NIV
