You live in an age when it is difficult to know the actual truth in a situation. Even current news is slanted to appease certain people. What causes a person to lie? There are many reasons. As you know My friend Peter lied three times because he was afraid he would be arrested just as I had been.
Three of the patriarchs in My Word lied. Look at the lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac. This was a generational lying spirit that was passed on and never broken. Because of My sacrifice for sin, a lying spirit does not have to repeat itself in the next generation. It can be broken.
Other people lie because they want to cover up their sin. As long as sin is not confessed or brought to the light, a person cannot be delivered from a pattern of lying. David acknowledged his sin. He did not hide it and he confessed his transgressions (sinning against others) to those he sinned against. Solomon wrote. He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
PSALM 32:5
