Well ask the word of God first (1 Kings 22:5)
A Congolese man approaches the BBC News 24 offices for a job interview. However, a producer who was always on time mistook him for an important guest who was scheduled for broadcast. He led the flustered but obedient suitor into the newsroom studio and fixed him a microphone.
When the "on air" signal is turned on, the interviewer pays no attention to the man's panicked look, and the nervous job seeker awkwardly concocts answers to the questions posed to him. When the misunderstanding was realized, the news network apologized.
The poor man wasn't pretending to be an important guest -- he was. Instead, Ahab, king of Israel, chose to ignore the truth by seeking answers from false prophets who pretended to be religious leaders. Ahab did not want to ask God through Micah the divine prophet "for he never prophesied good about me, but evil" (1Kings 22:8). The king hates the truth.
Sometimes we prefer to hear a lie that is good to hear than the truth. However, we need to get advice from counselors who believe that "all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting behavior and for training people in the truth" (2Timothy 3:16). Don't let lust make us exchange God's truth for a lie --MRD

Avoid its deception, don't come close
The power to be able to defeat it
Only faith in God. --Sper

BETTER TO HEAR THE Bitter TRUTH
