Yes I didn’t write for deception because that would mean it is to come. Deception is everywhere.
Who is being deceived? I’ve been watching pretty closely and here is what I see.
Anyone who does not pay one hundred percent to the scriptures is being deceived. That means Christians and those who are not Christians. The body that has not attempted to make a good effort on putting on the Armor of God is living in their own hopeful world.
So where is the deception Pat? The shorter answer is, “where is it not?” It’s in our Country rampantly. It never shines more than during an election process. It’s in the whole world.
Who gets deceived? The one who doesn’t know the Word of God.
The argument can be made that it has always been that way. True, but at least there were more who did know it only 50 years ago that was passing on the Truth to others. Now deception is coming from the pulpits. Why? Because they are not teaching the Word of God as if it is Truth. They pick and choose. When the world looks strongly at something that the Bible opposes, they choose the world. They say you can’t trust the Bible, so we have to pick and choose what works for us. That’s a doctrine that comes from demons. Oh yeah, deceiving spirits are alive and well in America. If you read your Old Testament they used to infiltrate the prophets (false prophets) that weren’t in tuned to God.
If you believe everything is great and always believe it will be in this country for you, you’re deceiving yourself. It wasn’t too long ago a man named Hitler was busy over in Europe and those complacent fooled themselves that he will be happy just doing the next little thing on his agenda. His agenda was to take over the world and destroy the Jews, he wasn’t going to stop.
As humans and our narrow focus, history is what has happened in our narrow little lifetime. Anything before our parent’s childhood is like a storybook that doesn’t mean anything. That’s called false positive thinking and that is a form of deception.
Tomorrow we will continue on with this topic.
