manipulate their self image on social media and portray
fake lifestyles because they do not want to look boring or
inadequate.
They will put up posts showing only a part of their life
that they are happy and making progress in life meanwhile
their real lives are so different. People have the power to
completely control what parts of their life they want to
broadcast on social media and what parts they do not want
to.

As ministers we should not believe everything that is
posted on social media by people thinking that the people
have no problems or issues that they need Gods help with.

We should listen for direction from the Holy Spirit and
make posts that can reach behind the facade the people are
putting up to bring them to their knees to seek the help
they need from God so they can be set free and able to live
freely.

8. FAKE NEWS

Social Media is riddled with what is called "Fake News".
These fake news are totally false news stories. The news are
untrue and fabrications of the minds of the people who
created them to either drive traffic to their website or to
support whatever agenda or mission they set out to achieve
in their minds. Many users have no idea that the news are
fake in the first place.

In whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of
them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them. I Cor 4: 4
