Hear Jehovah's Voice Wherever You Are- AVOID BEING TRICKED BY SATAN

Satan tries to influence the way people think by using fake information and propaganda.  (1 John 5:19)  Newspapers, books, magazines, radio, TV, and the Internet spread information  over the whole earth.  The sources offer some useful information, but they often promote conduct that goes against Jehovah's standards. (Jeremiah 2:13)  For example, they may say that there is nothing wrong with same-sex marriage.  This leads many people to feel that what the Bible says about homosexuality is too strict. - 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9, 10.

How can people who love Jehovah's standards be influenced by Satan's propaganda? How can they know what is good and what is bad?  The Bible answers: "By keeping on guard according to [God's] word." (Psalm 119:9)  God's written Word helps us to see what is true and what is a lie. (Proverbs 23:23) Jesus said that we need "every word that comes from Jehovah's mouth." (Matthew 4:4) In the Bible, Jehovah gives us principles that need to learn to apply. For example, long before there a was a written law against adultery, Joseph knew that having sexual relations with Potiphar's  wife would be a sin against God.  He never even considered disobeying  Jehovah.  (Genesis 39:7-9)  Even though Potiphar's wife pressured him for a long time, Joseph chose to listen to Jehovah's voice, not hers.  Today, we too must listen to Jehovah's voice, not the constant noise of Satan's propaganda.

The world is filled with confusing religious ideas, and many people feel that it is impossible to find the true religion. But if we are willing to listen to Jehovah, he makes the truth easy to find. We have to decide to whom  we will listen. It is almost impossible to listen to two voices at the same time. Just as sheep know their shepherd's voice, we need to know the voice of Jesus,the one whom Jehovah has chosen to shepherd us. - JOHN 10:3-5.
