~ What Causes People to Stray from God's Way.  ~

There are Only 2 'Ways' to Live Life.
God's Way or the devils way.
(The devils way is often referred to as 'the worlds way' and 'secular'). 
There is No 'In Between' Way. 

God's Way Fills You with Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom & Excitement.
God's Way gives You Real Purpose and Meaning to Your Life.

The devils way Fills You with Misery, Depression, Worry, Anxiety, & Stress.
The devils way is Pointless, it Traps You, and has No Meaning.

It was God who Created us all and Breathed His Life into us. So it's obvious that God's Way is how we're All Supposed to Live. It's what Life is all about.

God Loves His Creations (which includes You), and He has Given us Loving Guidance on How He Created us to Live. He's also Given us a Promise of Wonderful Blessings when we Live how God Created us to Live.

So then, 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The obvious answer is because there is 'sin' in the world caused by Adam & Eve Disobeying God and eating from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.

But it's Not that simple. 
Because God Gave Every 'Individual' Person 'Freedom of Choice'. 

Which means even though there is 'sin' in the world, it's still 'Your Choice' whether You Live 'Your Life' God's Way or the devils way.

Many people Do 'Choose' to Live God's Way.

But Many people also 'Choose' to Live the devils way.

So 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The Truth is, there are Many, Many reasons.

Here are a few of the reasons from my own Observations, and from what God has Guided me with through 'His Word' in the Bible, and from 'Direct' Communication with Jesus.

~ Some people Stray from God's Way because they are 'Taught' the 'Wrong Way' to Live from the Beginning of their Lives by 'So Called' family who Don't Follow God's Way themselves. 
I write 'So Called' because God's Way of a 'True Family' would Never Teach a Child the 'Wrong Way' to Live.

The world Tricks people from Childhood into Believing that they 'Have' to Honour & Obey what their 'family' Tells them to 'Do'. 
But that's 'Not True'. 
If a 'So Called' family member Teaches You to 'Do' Anything that goes Against God's Way, then God would Obviously 'Not' want You to 'Do' it.

The devil though is getting an 'Easy Ride', to be able to 'Trick' Children because Many of the people who Children 'Trust' such as school teachers and even Churches, 'Teach' Children from an Early Age that they 'Have' to 'Do' what their family 'Tells' them to 'Do'. 

But the Truth is, Children should 'Only' Honour & Obey when they're Taught God's Way.

~ Another reason why People Stray from God's Way is because they are 'Taught' Wrong Information from schools, colleges and universities.

The world makes it Seem that Education is Massively Important. 
The first part of peoples Lives are based around Education.

But the Truth is Education is Always Changing. 
Many of the things being 'Taught' Now are Different to what was 'Taught' when I was in Education. And what I was 'Taught' was Different to what my Parents were 'Taught' when they were in Education.

There is No 'Solid Foundation' in Education because the Majority of places do Not Teach God's Way.
Most of Education is based on 'Scientific Analogies', which are Always Changing when another Scientist says 'Their Way' is better than the Previous Scientist. 
Or it's based on a 'Persons Theories', which again Changes when a Different Person comes out with a Different Theory.

The devil is being Given another 'Easy Ride' through Education, because Many of the devils Followers can Easily Hide in the Disguise of 'Teachers', and they can then Easily 'Trick' People with Lies from a very Early Age.

~ Some People Stray from God's Way because they get involved with the 'Wrong' people. (This happened to me in my teens and early twenties before I started my Wonderful Journey with Jesus). 

The devil Leads People Astray through 'So Called' friends.

Again I write 'So Called' because No 'True Friend' would Ever try to get You to 'Do' something that's Wrong.

People make Friendships throughout All stages of Life. And because 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Friends are so Important, then many People of All ages are often Willing to 'Go Against' God's Way, just so they can have 'friends'. 
Many people 'Do' things that they know they shouldn't 'Do' just so they can 'Fit In'. 

The devil uses 'So Called' friends to 'Lure' People Away from God.

Friendships in general is not a bad thing. If You find 'True Friends' who 'Truly Follow' God's Way (and Only God's Way), then that's fine. As long as You Don't put them before God and God's Way.
But if You haven't got those type of Friends, then it's Better to have No friends and be able to Enjoy a Wonderful Relationship with God & Jesus, than to have Lots of 'friends' who can 'Take You Away' from Your Creator God. 

  ~ Some People Stray from God's Way because of their Job.

This is for 2 reasons.
The first is that Many of the Jobs that People Do in the modern world are Not the type of thing that God would like People Doing.
If something is Wrong then it's Wrong, it Doesn't make it ok just because people get Paid to 'Do' it.
Some Jobs are actually Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually 'Pulling' People 'Away from God', without them even realising.

The other reason is that 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Work is the Most Important thing in Life.

Almost everything in 'the worlds way' is Aimed at Work.
Schools Educate people to get a Job. College & Universities Train people for Work. Even the workplaces offer Extra Training all Aimed at making People Work More. Work pays money and 'the world' is Obsessed with money.

Many People's 'Whole Lives' are Literally Revolving around Work.

But the Truth is, God Didn't Create us to Live that Way.
Yes He doesn't want People being Lazy. But the Work that God refers to in the Bible is Work that 'Glorifies God' and where the Work itself brings You 'Closer to God'. 

~ One of the 'Big Causes' of People Straying from God's Way is because of 'the worlds' Obsession with 'social media'. 

The more People become 'Social', the more Distant they become from God.

Many people would now rather spend time on 'social media' than Spending time With God.

'Social media' is one of the devils Favourite Weapons.

He's got Many of 'his followers' Trained in how to 'Manipulate' People without them realising, by uses the 'Tactical Strategies' of 'social media'. 

'Social media' literally Gives 'Anybody' the Opportunity to 'Trick' Billions of People all around the world with 'Lies & Deception', and it's as Easy as 'Pressing a Button'. 

~ There are Many other things that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, such as TV, Radio, Internet, Advertisements, Books, Phones, Music, 
Worldly Sayings, Thoughtless Talking, and Many, Many more.

~ But the most Heart Breaking of all the reasons that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, is when People are 'Deceived' by 'the devils followers' 'Pretending' to be Believers of God & Jesus.

I've seen this happen Many, Many times over the past 20 years or so.

And the devil uses this 'evil Tactic' in All areas of Life, including the Home, Education, the Workplace, Social Activities, Luncheon Clubs, Hobby Groups, Youth Groups, and worst of all in many Churches & Ministries. 

The devil knows that People are 'Searching for the Truth'. 
So he's Obviously going to Position 'his followers' in the Places that 'Hurting People' will look to when 'Searching for the Truth'. 

And he's Obviously Not going to let People know who the 'Deceivers' are who are trying to Lead them 'Away from God'. 
The devil uses 'his followers' to 'Deceive & Manipulate' People in Ways that 'Seem' to be the 'Truth' because it's from 'So Called' Believers.

* Just to be Clear, there are Many, Many Wonderful 'True Believers' who would Never try to Take You Away from God. And I'm Truly Grateful to Every One of them for the Wonderful things they Do for God & Jesus. 

But unfortunately Many 'So Called' Believers are 'Misleading' People about how God Created them to 'Be', and how to Live their Lives.

I've seen Peoples Lives 'Ruined' because of what a 'So Called' Believer on a very well known TV Church Ministry 'Taught & Preached'. 

I've seen quite a few Churches that 'Used' to be 'Powerful Churches' for God's Wonderful Way, that have now  been 'Totally Corrupted' by people 'Pretending' to be Believers, and have 'Taken Over' the Churches and turned them into Just Another 'Fake' worldly Establishment.

I've even seen Many Vicars & Pastors who I've either known personally or known from a distance, who are Intelligent & Faithful people, yet they've been 'Corrupted' by the 'devils deceivers' Pretending to be Believers and 'Misleading' them with 'Lies & Manipulation'. 

They do it by using 'Partial Truths' that make it 'Seem' to be God's Way.

Those Vicars & Pastors who are Deceived then Unintentionally 'Preach' the Lies to other People, including worldwide Ministries. 
Which is one of the ways of how the devil is 'Destroying Many Churches'. 

I've spoken to people in their 70's & 80's who have spent their Entire Lives 'Confused' about how to Follow God's Way, because they've been 'Misled' by many people over the years who 'Pretend' to be Believers and have 'Taught' them Wrongly about God.

It's Not a new thing. It's been happening for a Long, Long time.

But God has 'Lovingly Guided' us All Many times in the Bible that people Will try to 'Deceive' You with 'False Teachings about the 'Truth'. 

God has 'Pre Warned' us about the devils 'evil Tactics'. 

God Knows Everything. And He has not just left us to fend for ourselves.
He wants to Help & Protect us All (that includes You). 
So He has Wrote it in 'His Word' that people Will try to 'Deceive' You, and they will be in the Disguise of Believes.

But Many people 'Ignore' God's Warnings.

And they 'Allow' themselves to be 'Led Astray'. 

People become 'Arrogant', and they let their 'Guard Down' to the devil.

But the Bible Guides us to 'Be On Guard', because the devil Prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

 The Bible also Guides us to:
Take up the 'Shield of Faith', so You can Extinguish All the flaming arrows of the evil one . . . and the 'Sword of the Spirit', which is the 'Word of God'. 

And that Does work when You Understand the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

But the devil also knows what's wrote in God's Word, and he uses 'his followers' in the Disguise of Believers to 'Distort & Twist' God's Word to 'Mislead' people about the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

The deceivers then use the 'Distorted' word to 'Trick' people about how God Created them to 'Be', and they get 'Led Astray' from God.

More and more people are 'Straying' Further and Further Away from God, whilst Believing that they're Following God's Way.

And that's Exactly what the devil wants.

These are just a few of  the reasons of What Causes People to Stray from God's Way. There are Many more.

But they are All based around Lies, Deception, Manipulation and the devils Trickery to get People to put their 'Trust' in People instead of God.

So, what's the Solution ?

How can You know what is the Truth, and what is Lies ?

The Solution is 'Not' found in Family, Friends, Education, Work, social media or any other worldly things. And unfortunately it can't be Reliably found in many Churches & Ministries.

There's 'Only One Way'. 

To 'Know' the Truth, You need to know the 'Truth'. 

Jesus is the 'Way', the 'Truth' and the 'Life'. 
(John 14:6)

 When You form a 'Personal' Relationship with Jesus, You will know 
the 'Truth', because He is the 'Truth'. 
He will show You God's Way, because He is the 'Way'. 
Jesus will Guide You how to Live 'Your Life', because He is the 'Life'. 

God says in (Jeremiah 32:38-39), 
“They shall be My people, and I will be their God,
then I will give them One Heart and One Way”. 

There Truly is 'Only One Way' ~ Jesus Christ.

But it needs to be a 
'Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship with Jesus'. 

If You try to Connect With Jesus through other people, it won't work.
That would be like wanting to be Married to someone, but you communicate with them through other people. 
That would obviously not be a 'Personal' Relationship.

Jesus said, “I am With You Always” 
(Matthew 28:20). 

No matter how far You might have Strayed from God, if You are Truly Sorry, and are Sincerely Willing to Follow God's Way from 'Now On', then Jesus is Always Willing to 'Welcome' You back with Loving Arms.

Then You will be Living God's Word which says in (1 Peter 2:25),
“You were like sheep going Astray,
but have Now Returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of Your Souls”.

When You form a 
Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship With Jesus,
You will know the Truth of How to Live Your Life in God's Way.

Because Jesus is
'the Way, the Truth and the Life'.
