I THINK one of the most annoying things in this world is a person who is committed to being dishonest. More so, these folks have no relationship with the truth and would tell a lie at any opportunity.
I know many people who seem to be plagued with this seemingly incurable disease. What I have discovered is that compulsive liars for the most part don’t really want to tell lies. In fact, sometimes when they tell a lie,, they question themselves as to why they did what they did.
Now I am aware that this may sound strange to you, but let me explain. You see, my friend, lying is not a thing but a personality. Yes, you read right. Compulsive liars are possessed with a lying spirit to which they become a host to.
This is important to note because you could spend the rest of your life fighting a person instead of the spirit that is the source of the lying problem. Many of you right now can identify with what I am writing about as it relates to liars in your life. As usual, let’s look at scripture to validate my findings.
“And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.” (1 Kings 22:21-23)
So, as you would have read lying is not a thing. This is what the enemy would want you to believe so that there would be division between you and the person who is telling lies. Instead you are dealing with a spirit that has a hold on the person who is actually a slave to this lying spirit.
Now that we have identified the source of lying, you must discontinue praying against the person who is lying and begin praying against the spirit that is ruling them. Ask God by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ to break the spirit of lying from your friend, family member or even yourself, and replace it with his spirit of truth, which is his Holy Spirit who is responsible for guiding us into all truth.
“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)

I have encountered individuals who lie constantly and i can truly say the worst thing to do when u meet a liar is argue or fight with them about their habitual lying .It is the worst response u can have to a liar as all that does is fustrate u and take your mental joy happiness and energy and leaves u feeling hopeless. It was only after noticing simular habits of lying manipulation and deception in other peoplw i met after that I recongised it was a spiritAnd it doesnt just annoy me it angers me.Some common traits i recognised of a liar is: 1.People who lie do not only lie but are generally deceptive in everything they do 2.One of the most identifying traits of a liar is the what i call the words vs actions method... they give professions of denial or the 'I am not lying 'line while their actions actually are directly opposite to what they are saying..This is actually one of the most dangerous traits of a liar too as their goal is to eventually convince u with their words that are not trying to intentionally harm u or deceive u when no matter what you see with your eyes. 3.Even more deadly is the ability of a liar to turn around a situation or argument to make u the person who is to blame for their behaviour .For example,u ask them why did they lie about something that upset u and they say 'why are u bringing down my character' and make u feel bad that u are confronting them about what they actually did to hurt u..Its call manipulation. 4.Never ask a liar why they lied or if they are lying presently.Why?Because they will just give u a lie for an answer 5.Never trust a liat with their words but look at their actions.If their actions line up with their words more times than not, chances are they just made a mistake and lying is not actually a habit for them. 6.Dont ever ask for explanations or answers u will get only lies 7.A liar cannot change on his own nor will he change just because time passes unless he is delivered from lying. 8.Oftentimes u can fustrate yourself greatly because of a liars ability to lie to themselves about a situation.Liars lie to themselves not only to u and at times it is hard to discern if they believe their lies and are actually blinded to what they are doing or if they know exactly what they are doing and think u dobt know..but we must remember that they may are not in total control of what they say because of the spirit behind their behaviour..And i can share more but dont think heres the place to write so much but these traits are not from experience with one person but over 5 persons all displaying the same characteristics.
