• Self-Deception...  The Tragedy?

The tragedy with self-deception 

will be a stunted growth that 

leaves you at a

disadvantage to the grossness of your own personal

ambitions. Self-deception is the aggravator to your self-awareness.  Not Good.

If you are a believer attempting to walk in the likeness of Jesus Christ, you can be sure that the Holy Spirit will be assertive within your spirit when confronted with a situation or decision that would take you outside the will of God. The Holy Spirit knows it's easier for you to deceive yourself than it is to convince you that you did deceive yourself.


Consider this when you are self-deceived:

  • ​Amazing how you deceive yourself and others when it's in your interest to do so.
  • ​Self-deception may give you what you desire in the present.  But your self-deception will rob you in the end.
  • Self-Deception will push a loyal person to the point where they will never trust you again.  
  • ​Finally, if you are honest, people may deceive you. Be honest anyway.  If you are sincerely kind, people may accuse you of seeking advantage.  Be kind anyway.​

How & Why the New Year 2025 will be all that God intends for you?  If you are faced with the question of whether or not to honestly open your heart to God; then make a determination to go through whatever pressure God has permitted; surrendering all that you have and all that you are to Him. You will take great pleasure in knowing that you are not your own nor alone. Amen.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger

​​​​​​Self-Deception.  Why You Do It? 
Here's why the New Year of 2025 may be no better for you, maybe even worse.  One of the most prevalent and poisonous rationalizations of sin is when you suggest to yourself the self-imposed lie... "I can handle this. If I sense that I'm losing control, I'll just quit. I won't let it get out of control."   Unrealistic expectations are often at the root of self-deception.  The problem with such thinking is that in your sin's erosive grip, your heart is dulled ever more by deceiving yourself.  Your calloused heart ignores your self-deception and the increasing danger of the seduction barraging it.  Thus, you will believe lies, even put hope in a liar's tongue, even though they lied to you previously.  Even your tongue will spue lies effortlessly.

The only advantage you have as a Christian is to employ when under pressure and to overcome it, is an unveiled openness before God. The opposite of this is a self-willed, miss-guided heart that ultimately results in a sense of futility in all that you do and become. You impoverish and weaken yourself all because you will not trust God with ALL your heart.   It is for this reason that God applies pressure on you.


Unless you experience the pressure of facing every deception about yourself, you will claw to the depths of your heart before you give Jesus Christ your undivided attention.
