Satan is the "father of lies" in that he is the original liar. He is the "father" of lies, and, he is such, just as in the same way that Martin Luther is the "father" of the Reformation, and Robert Goddard is the "father" of modern rocketry. Satan, the devil, is a murderer, because, to lie is the same thing as hate, and to hate your brother or sister is to murder them. Satan told the first lie in recorded history to Eve, in the Garden of Eden. After planting seeds of doubt in Eve's mind with a question (Genesis 3:1), he directly contradicts God's Word by telling her, "You will not certainly die" my thought is, who taught them what death was, and who taught them how to die? (Genesis 3:4). With that lie, Satan led Eve to her death; Adam followed, and so have we all. But even in death can we all come back to Christ our King, this is why he said to some, "LET THE DEAD, BURY THE DEAD", we have to be so willing to choose life, we have to be willing to stop listening to the lies of the devil.Lying is Satan's primary weapon against God's children. He uses the tactic of deceit to separate people from their heavenly Father. Some of his more common lies are "there is no God," "God doesn't care about you," "the Bible cannot be trusted," and "your good works will get you into heaven." The apostle Paul tells us that Satan "masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), so that what he says and does sounds good and seems reasonable. But it is nothing more than a false appearance. The main trick is that Satan uses what we know as logic to twist the truth to the point where it sounds right, it feels right, but the Bible does tell us to lean not to our own understanding, it is also stated that, upon getting all of the knowledge and stuff that we need to make it in this life, it says that to make sure, to make certain, that we gather understanding. My mom and I just recently had this conversation; when I was in elementary school, we took something called reading comprehension, this teaches us how to understand what we just read, now, the Bible, teaches us spiritual understanding, but to get it, we have to be willing to read the Bible, for understanding, not reading just to be reading.
About the Author: Greetings, and thank you for reading this book, my name is Ollie Fobbs, some call me reverend, some called doctor, others call me evangelist, while still some others call me the Prophet, while on the other hand, many others call me the Apostle, these are titles, my name actually means apostle, but anyway, that's another story. For me, my life has not been a big bowl of cherries and ice cream, no, I've had some good days, and I've had some bad days, but, I do thank God, that He allowed me to still be here to write books, even if the Church never comes, I'm satisfied with life. At the present, I live in Winston Salem North Carolina with my wife LaVonia, who is a blessing right out of the hand of God, from the word go, she has been a real doll of a blessing, I do believe that if it had not been for the anointing on her life, I would have never wrote the first book, now I'm somewhere between 33 and 35 published books. I have one son, Drucyde Graves, who lives in Richmond Virginia, my Mom, Jennie Melton, my brothers Michael, Tommy, and Robert, all live in Richmond Virginia, my sister, father, and step father and god father all have gone on before me, my sister, Sherry Fleming, my father, Elder Ollie Fobbs, my step father, Leon Melton, and my godfather Fred Bates of Henrico Virginia, have all danced with the Lord. I was Ordained as a minister to teach the will of God in 1986, my first wife was divorced from me by then, her name is Robinette General, my son came along the same year that I was ordained. My second wife Joyce Smith came along the following year, we were married in 1988. by now it was time for me to enter the new world of responsibility, so I joined the military in 1988, was sent to Germany, and two years later, I was on my way home to Virginia, ready to be divorced, that's all I'm saying. By now, many of the troubles in my body had already come forth to hinder my life, but what was getting ready to happen was totally unexpected. Life got hard fast, and my health went down hill fast, work was done on a as could basis, so, I constantly jumped from temp company to temp company, until I finally went homeless, this was the second time, this lasted until the winter hit, and my mother told me to come stay with her. The American church had denied my right to teach the word, so I was a teacher where ever I was, in the grocery stores, the laundry mart, the video stores, the porn shops, if I could catch a listful ear, the word went forth.
