To be like God without God

 

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:9

 The lie that started in the garden, was that we can be like God without God. (The Harvest: Rick Joyner)

"There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14:12  

When Satan tempted Eve it was an offer she couldn't refuse. It sounded good and religious, "to be like God." But that is the way of Satan. He takes some thread of truth and twists it with a lie. It is a present full of distruction wrapped in a pretty bow of truth. Certainly we want to be like God. But the way to God and Godliness is never through the ways of the enemy. The way to be "like God" is only found through the ways of God. 

In the last days men will be holding to a "form of godliness"  - 2 Timothy 3:5
