THE VEIL

Every person that you meet in your life can have a profound

effect on you. They can leave a good, or a bad impression.

Those impressions are shaped into a defense mechanism that

helps us to discern the intentions of each new individual we

meet. For example I remember a man; he was the friendliest

person you could ever meet. He was very helpful and very

funny. This likable personality he possessed was only a tool to

gain your confidence. One of the things he used to say was, I see

you need a little help and I’ve come to help you out. This was

only a veil to cover up what he really meant. He saw an

opportunity in my distress to help me out of something he

wanted. It was my money, and I gave it to him willingly,

thinking that I was getting something that would help me. The

ability to overshadow has always been the tool of the Con man.

Since I have experienced this for myself, I now have a built in

discernment for people who try to help me out. This deception is

also found in the preaching of the Gospel, as did the Apostles

reveal in their day, and shall be revealed in yours.

2 Corinthians 11:12-15 But what I do, that I will do, that I may

cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that when they

glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false

apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the

Apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is

transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing
