During periods of great testing, the price of truth increases. It will always cost you more than the store-brand lie being dispensed at a deep discount. I was re-reading Jesse Penn Lewis' classic, "War on the Saints," written 98 years ago. It is in the public domain, and is a great re-read to refresh one's spiritual awareness.
Here is an example of an outstanding passage:
"For the knowledge of truth is the first essential for warfare with the lying spirits of Satan, and truth must be eagerly sought for, and faced with earnest and sincere desire to know it, and obey it in the light of God...There is a fundamental principle involved in the freeing power of truth from the deceptions of the devil. Deliverance from believing lies must be by believing truth. Nothing can remove a lie but truth. "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8: 32)"
