visible;  they  will  have  no  hidden  agendas  or  ulterior
            motives.    Advocates  who  operate  from  a  “deceptive
            heart,”  CANNOT  exhibit  “Fruit  of  the  SPIRIT”.    They
            operate in the dark with hidden agendas such as a quest
            for power and control.


            Ecclesiastes 1:9 confirms, “What has been will be again.
            What has been done will be done again; there is nothing
            new under the sun.” This means that those who operate

            in the dark have common traits of deceptions. In their
            pride, they convince themselves that their schemes are
            unique, new, clever, and untraceable.

            Yet, THE WORD confirms that sadly, they deceive even

            themselves  -  for  there  is  nothing  new  under  the  sun.
            Such actions often reveal their traits of deception.  Let’s
            consider a few of the commonly seen patterns and traits
            of deception.


            Deception  has  its  own  language  and  “tell-tale
            behaviors!  Deception is usually masked by a number of
            behavioral  traits  and  patterns.   It  is  also  masked  in  its
            own angry rhetoric. Following are a few “tell-tale” clues
            that  reveal  win-at-all-costs  behavioral  patterns  of
            deception:


            1.  Deception  does  not  align with  Biblical Principle.  In
               fact, it is often in direct contradiction. This is the first
               tell-tale clue to recognizing the leviathan spirit that is
               attempting to persuade. That is why one must study
               and know every Biblical principle; it never lies.
