Genesis 27:1-40
This is one of the epic stories in the Bible, where Rebekah sided Jacob (her younger son whom she loved) against Esau to deceitfully take the blessings of the latter. Isaac the husband of Rebekah had purposed in his heart to bless Esau.
But Rebekah and Jacob conspired to thwart this, using lies as a most effective weapon and tool.If you carefully read the chapter above, you will discover that Rebekah and her loved son-Jacob lied up to ten times to execute their deception.
There is hardly any human being that has not told a lie at one time or the other in his life. Hardly a day passes without the average man having to tell a lie for one reason or the other. I guess that is why we are human.
But is it possible to do without telling lies. Is it possible to hold on to the truth at all times even when it seems detrimental to our interest? Can human beings do without lying, when even Peter a close disciple of Jesus Christ, lied?
The first thing we need to realize is that lying is a deliberate act as see in the passage above. Moreover, once you start lying, you need to tell another and in fact several lies to cover up your previous lies.
Lastly, there are always adverse repercussions of every lie you tell, as Jacob eventually have to flee from his older brother who had planned to murder him in anger. Jacob could not come back to his father’s house until twenty years later, and by then his mother had died. So, Rebekah also did not live to benefit from the reward of her deception.
I believe it is possible to say the truth. I have come across a few individuals who to my amazement always say the truth at all times. I am praying to God to give me the grace to always hold to the truth at all times like these persons..
It is only the Holy Spirit that can give us power to overcome the spirit of lying. The Bible says that all liars shall not enter the kingdom of God. Let us pray today, that God through his spirit shall give us the power to overcome the lying spirit and say the truth at al times.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and have fallen short of your glory. I genuinely repent from all my sins, including that of lying.
I believe Jesus Christ as the Messiah who came to save me from all sins and I accept him as my Lord and Saviour. I pray for that the Holy Spirit should dwell in me from today to live in Holiness and in truth.. I am born again in Jesus name.

Please help me my daughter go to sleep, wake up and tell lies so naturaluntil you would fall into the trap of believing her. I am afraid that she is going to get hurt or soeone else because of this demonic spirit of lying tongue. I have prayed for yrs for it to leave but it is still here. Help
I truly understand about your daughter. I myself struggle with lying and have hurt so many people. I began lying when I was a child for attention and to cover up the fact that I had no father and my sisters had a dad. So I made up a story about my father being in the military to other children. Started lying and have been praying for years to stop. Lying because comes natural to you and you lie with out thinking about it. I have two sons and my son are not liars. If they tell a lie I stop them right away. I am very hard on my sons because of the lying I have done. Lying destoyed my 10 year marriage to their father. ( that’s my opinion) Lying is like a addiction. I will pray for your daughter and please pray for me to stop lying. I will continue to pray for this strong hold to loose me.
I agree its an addiction , I am a liar too. I have also hurt many from my lies including my marriage. I will pray for everyone including myself for God to help us.
Please help me from telling lies, I wasn’t like this at all till I got older,mi want God to deliver me from the devil and back into Jesus life. I’m asking anybody to pray for me to become a strong successful woman. I’m 21 soon will be 22 I don’t want to live in a bag full of lies. Pray and I’ll pray for myself too.
We have taken a step in the right direction by seeking the Lord coz we concerned about being honest beings, Amen to that saints We will see the glory of the Lord, if there is any one who would like to share with me their awesome deliverance from lying email me at : nkmpogeng@gmail.com
Hi. I have been struggling with lying and exageration my whole life. Most of the time I excuse it by telling myself that I am doing what I have to do to protect myself or someone else. The truth is that there have been times that Im finished telling someone a situation I experienced and I have exaggerated or have left out something that can damage my image. I started reading a book on generational sins. As I was reading this problem came into my mind b¨t I sort of closed it off until today. My daughter called me out about something that was really minor. She said that she believed I wasnt telling the truth. She was right I didnt tell the truth. The base story was true but I embellished it because in my thought process I was looking out for her and I knew tshe would scoff at the original story. For the most part in these situations I usually own up to it but Because I felt guilty that she called me out out of the blue I blew up and I said very unkind things to her. I am ashamed and so embarrassed for my behavior. I left for a drive and started to cry. I had to admit to myself that I lie all the time. My parents were that way and their parents before them. This was a generational sin. I asked the Lord for forgiveness and now I am writing this on this forum to declare my sin and ask you to please pray for me. I am not who I want to be in Christ. I see how this sin has literally held me back from growth in the Lord. I want to win this battle in Jesus name. I have to confess all this to my family and ask their forgiveness and earn back their respect. I have to learn to respect myself again too. Thank you
