Prophet Uebert Angel: The Devil Tells the Truth, But God Also Lies


Prophet Uebert Angel has made a series of striking statements about the nature of truth, deception and lying, arguing that the devil does not simply speak lies but can also use truth to accomplish destructive intentions.

In the sermon shared on his church’s social media account, Angel described the devil as the originator and father of lies, while making a distinction between speaking falsehood and using truthful information to achieve a particular objective.

“The devil is not the speaker of lies. He is the originator of lies. The father of lies,” he declared.

Explaining his position, the preacher argued that the devil tells the truth but bends it slightly before returning to it.

“The source of lies, what the devil does is he tells the truth and just bends a little bit and comes back to the truth,” he said.

He illustrated this with an example of someone approaching another person’s wife to reveal an alleged affair involving her husband.

“If I come to your wife and say, ‘Look, I just want to tell you something. Sister Sylvia is actually sleeping with your husband,’ is this just me helping you as a man of the spirit? Do you think that is a word coming from God or from the devil?” he asked.

He then explained that the intention behind revealing such information could determine whether the act was serving a destructive purpose.

“If it ends up in those people divorcing, that means the devil told the truth with an intention for divorce,” Angel stated.

He also referred to Judas’ betrayal of Jesus, drawing attention to the fact that Judas used a familiar gesture to identify Jesus to those who came to arrest Him.

“Judas even hugged Jesus, then kissed him. He said, ‘Come, let me show you the Lord.’ But the intention there is evil, but the act is right,” he said.

Angel concluded that the devil could communicate information that was factually correct while using it for destructive purposes.

“The devil is not telling lies. He tells truth that is destructive.”

“Because God Also Lies”

One of the most striking moments in the sermon came when Angel questioned the conventional understanding of lying and extended the discussion to God’s dealings with humanity.

“What then is a lie? Because God also lies,” he declared.

To support the statement, he referred to 1 Kings 22, particularly the account involving King Ahab, the prophet Micaiah and the spirit that volunteered to persuade Ahab through the mouths of his prophets.

In explaining the passage, Angel quoted the spirit’s response when asked how it would accomplish its assignment:

“I will become a lying spirit.”

He then drew attention to the Lord’s response in the passage, arguing that the account demonstrated what he described as the distinction between spiritual deception and ordinary human understanding of lying.

On Confession Of Faith

Angel also examined the biblical instruction that the weak should declare themselves strong and the poor should say they are rich.

He questioned whether such declarations could technically be described as lies when the individuals making them had not yet experienced those realities physically.

“The Bible says, ‘Let the weak say I’m strong.’ They are lying. They are weak and they are told lie,” he said.

He continued:

“Let the poor say I’m rich. Ah, but the poor are not rich.”

The preacher further referenced the biblical instruction to believe that one has received what one has prayed for, even before the physical manifestation of the desired outcome.

“If you want a thing, believe you have received it, but I haven’t,” he said, pointing to what he described as different definitions within spiritual matters.

The Devil, Truth And Deception

Returning to the subject of the devil, Angel referenced the encounter between the serpent and Eve in Genesis, particularly the serpent’s response to God’s instruction concerning the forbidden tree.

He questioned the nature of the serpent’s statement, pointing out that it contained elements of truth.

“The devil is the father of lies, but which lies? Because he also tells the truth,” he stated.

He also acknowledged that the devil lies, while maintaining that truthful statements can feature within those lies.

“So does the devil lie? Yes. But inside the lies there are many truths that he speaks in,” Angel said.

He further explained:

“Inside the lies there are many truths that he speaks in order to validate his lies.”

The sermon repeatedly returned to the relationship between truth, falsehood, intention and the purpose behind what is communicated, with Angel using biblical accounts involving Judas, Eve and King Ahab to illustrate his argument.
