SPIRITUAL DECEPTION

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7–8)

Can Christians Be Spiritually Deceived, and How Can They Avoid

It is so dangerous for us to believe that we could never be deceived. When we read the Word of God and study it carefully, we are much less likely to be caught in a web of deception. The Bereans are used in Scripture to show the importance of comparing everything that is taught to us against the Holy Scriptures to be sure that what we have been told is sound and matches God’s Word. “Now these people were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so(Acts 17:11)

There is now, as has always been, a spiritual war brewing in the unseen. Make no mistake, there are utterly wicked forces in play here making the worst of us humans look minuscule in actions of unrighteousness. It is easy to look at all these political conspiracy theories under the sun and become HYPER focused on man. There is no boardroom with Rothschild’s, George Soros, and Bill Gates plotting the demise of mankind. They are merely useful idiots to a greater power you cannot readily see.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)

I’m not here writing about the world being deceived. For if indeed you are a child of God (Truly Born Again) you already know this. This is the age-old tactic of the enemy Satan (lit. Adversary).  I’m not writing about the plethora of false teachers, false prophets, and corrupted churches. When you drive by the local Presbyterian (or insert denomination here) church and see a rainbow flag flying as the APOSTATE church must conform to the world and not to God… I’m not writing about those deceivers either.

I’m writing this warning to YOU the believing remnant. Stop diving down the rabbit hole of nonstop media garbage, nonstop conspiracy theories true or not, and nonstop divisions. Look, I have written before, do not be uninformed and seek truth always. Unfortunately, there is only ONE trust worthy source out there, The Bible. If we (yes me included) spend more time in the Word of God, WE will be better prepared for what is coming. Stop putting your hope in any politicians Be it Trump, or DeSantis, or whoever… Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. (Psalm 146:3)

As much as I politically align with them, they are not saviors. Understand that it is by the WILL of God whoever rules over us. “It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. (Daniel 2:21) Of course we must nevertheless vote our conscious as true believers.

Know all things that occur are by the sovereign will of God (He allows it). There is nothing puny man can do to circumvent the Will of the Almighty. Once you understand this, then you are free from the rabbit hole of distraction. Know this, both sides of the political sphere are pitted against one another with some truths and a lot of lies…. There is an enemy dividing mankind with the goal to KILL you. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. (John 10:10) We need understand this and identity the true enemy. He knows his time is short…

How best to deceive a believing remnant? Yes, by distracting them. Know that judgement always begins with the house of God. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (1 Peter 4:17) Do YOU (myself included) get that? Hence the Apostasy is underway. Do not think you will escape the coming torrent, because we the people of God are being judged. Why is it in Christianity, we have no problems devouring ourselves. Perhaps is it that not all are truly saved? “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:14)

I believe for over the last several decades the house of God has and is being judged. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3–4)

  1. Perhaps we allow the enemy into our own camp?
  2. Perhaps we are distracted from our calling?

We have opened the door for wolves to flourish among us. By being ignorant of God’s Word, we all but willingly allowed ravenous wolves into our house. Either we compromised worldly lusts as being godly behaviors such as: Love of Money, Love of Self, and gross Idolatry. AND we forsake the LAW of God and abuse the GRACE of God. Since the Law is fulfilled, and the propitiation of our sins paid, we truly are forsaking Jesus.

Therefore, we undermine our foundations and then build upon shifting sand. “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. “The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:26–27) Here, the Lord tells of hearing His word and not doing it…. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. (James 1:21–22) Ah, the worst form of deception… Self Deception.

We allowed false teachers to multiply more so in recent times than any other time of history. I suggest from the late 1970’s to now more damage had been done to give bad testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ than at any time of history.

Therefore, I exhort you all to remain in the WORD of God. QUIT – STOP – CEASE, worrying about men and bad actors in the world. Stop wasting your time glued in front of a television and/or computer screen with non-stop current events, because the prince of the airways is creeping into our camp. If you, with equal vigor study the Word of God. You will be prepared for this coming spiritual war. You will clearly identify the enemy and wield the sWORD of truth. Stop forsaking fellowship with other believers, find a local gathering where Sola Scriptura (The Bible as the Inspired Word of God) is practiced. If you do such, you will mitigate any deception that the enemy comes at you with. And they will come!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

It is time to repent of worrying of worldly politics, evil men, and economic conditions. This is distracting you from the Word of God. Get in the WORD! By reading scripture, we rely on God’s word as essential food, and as a two-edged sword. We all ought to be Bible students and in His word every day. It is there that we are preparing our spiritual muscles to be of useful service to the Kingdom and guarding ourselves as well as others from deception.

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

So, men and women of God. Are you equipped for every good work? Can you defend your faith to others? “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). Most important, to know the word of God is to truly know God Himself. Every word in the Bible points to one name and one person, The Lord Jesus Christ: “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Remember the Word of God has a personal name. Jesus (Yeshua) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

Time is getting short. It’s time to put your eyes on Jesus and not the storm.. Repent from any ungodliness. Test your faith. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. (2 Corinthians 13:5) Stop distracting away from God’s word and avoid deception. Hear me loved ones, it is upon us already.

Shalom, Brian

Is Apostasy Coming?

The Great AWOKEning

Preparing for the Man with a Plan :: By Daymond Duck

From raptureready.com

Russia recently announced a stoppage of the flow of gas to the EU through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and that the flow will not be restarted until the EU cancels its economic sanctions on Russia.

Some EU citizens are starting to suffer, and they know their suffering is going to get much worse when winter arrives.

It is not surprising:

  • That the value of the Euro is at a 20-year low.
  • That the high cost of utilities and food have triggered a cost-of-living problem, and many EU citizens are moving toward poverty (owning nothing but not happy).
  • That more than 70,000 Czechoslovakian citizens recently marched on their capital (Prague) to protest the situation and to call for an end to the sanctions on Russia.
  • That all the EU nations are anticipating more protests in the coming months.
  • That this is happening and the rider on the black horse during the Tribulation Period is hyper-inflation, economic collapse, and famine (Rev. 6:5-6).

(More: On Sept. 7, 2022, EU Commission Pres. Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU plans to impose mandatory electricity rationing and price caps on natural gas from Russia. Vladimir Putin called the plan “stupid” and said prices will go even higher.)

(More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that tens of thousands and perhaps hundreds of thousands of the sick and elderly will die; think population reduction.)

(More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that a failure of EU banks this winter will impact banks in the U.S. and the value of the dollar—major economic problems could be just months away.)

(More: On Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that proposed legislation in Switzerland requires citizens in gas-heated buildings to keep their thermostat below 66.2 degrees F this winter. Intentional violators will be fined and could face up to three years in prison.)

(More: On Sept. 14, 2022, it was reported that the sale of appliances and other expensive items is in decline because poverty is spreading.)

Be aware that some reports say this is happening because the EU is following the World Economic Forum (WEF) agenda, and it will happen to every nation on earth (including the U.S.) because the WEF agenda is a global policy.

(My opinion: The problems in the EU and the WEF agenda guarantee that the mess this world is in will get much worse before the end of winter. The upcoming election could be critical for the survival of America.)

When asked about the signs of His coming (at the end of the Tribulation Period), Jesus replied that there will be distress of nations, with perplexity (Luke 21:25).

Many prophecy teachers have long expected global problems that will cause people to accept “the man with a plan” who will rise in the EU and be known as the Antichrist.

At the time of this writing:

  • The media has reported that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has passed away, and Charles is preparing to take the throne as the King of England.
  • Charles has attended globalist Bilderberg meetings, has been an extreme climate change fanatic, co-hosted a WEF meeting, and is a friend of Klaus Schwab, but he now says he is going to change because the King is not supposed to be political (his change may be questionable, but time will tell).
  • At the UN COP26 meeting, Charles called for trillions (trillions, not billions) of dollars to be available to someone (a male ruler; some think he was referring to “the man with a plan;” the Antichrist) to immediately change the global economy, go green, and bring about the WEF Great Reset.

Here are more events that seem to indicate that we are getting close.

One, concerning climate change and going green in the U.S.: on Sept. 8, 2022, it was reported that “Californians are being asked to cut back on cooling their homes and using large appliances to prevent rolling blackouts as the state buckles under the weight of its outdated infrastructure and increasing reliance on unreliable ‘clean energy’ sources.”

Governor Newsom advised citizens to:

  • Set their thermostats at 78 degrees.
  • Turn off unnecessary lights.
  • Avoid using large appliances.

According to the report, part of California’s power shortage problem is its shift to the WEF Great Reset plan.

The report quotes WEF founder Klaus Schwab as saying every “country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed.”

(FYI: On Sept. 1, 2022, it was reported that a power company took control of the smart thermostats in about 22,000 homes in Colorado, and the homeowners could not control the temperature in their own homes.)

Two, concerning deceit, Pres. Biden (the “big man” in the Biden criminal cartel) recently addressed the nation twice:

There are too many lies and too much deceit to comment on, but among other things, the “big man” said (words in parentheses are mine):

  • “MAGA (Make America Great Again) Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”
  • “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backward — backward to an America where there is no right to choose (no right to an abortion), no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love (no right to same-sex marriage).”
  • “MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies. Lies told for profit and power.”
  • MAGA Republicans “are destroying American democracy.”

Notice that Biden (who calls himself a good Catholic):

  • Opposes Making America Great Again.
  • Champions abortion (against his Catholic faith) and same-sex marriage (against the Scriptures).
  • Accuses MAGA Republicans of lying (even though he lied about uniting the U.S. during his campaign, has changed his position on abortion and same-sex marriage from against to for, is lying about Hunter, lying about inflation, lying about the U.S. border with Mexico being secure, etc.).
  • Wants citizens to believe that MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy at the same time that he is working to destroy American democracy by bringing in the New World Order.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!” (Isa. 5:20-23).

(Something to think about: During his presidency, Biden has spent more time and money trying to kill babies in their mother’s womb than he has spent trying to get baby formula for those babies fortunate enough to be born.)

Three, concerning Israel having silver and gold, cattle and goods in the latter years and latter days: Israel is expected to start pumping gas at its big Leviathan field in about two weeks.

Some prophecy teachers have long believed that Israel’s oil and natural gas could be the hook in Gog’s jaw that leads to the Battle of Gog and Magog.

Four, concerning the coming economic collapse: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently warned that the Federal Reserve strategy to bring down inflation could launch the nation into a recession.

Five, concerning the economy and a coming global economic collapse during the Tribulation Period: on Sept. 13, 2022, it was reported that the U.S. inflation rate is up slightly to 8.3%.

This sent the Dow Jones Stock Market into a steep decline, and it lost 1276 points by the end of the day.

While this was going on, Biden was celebrating his $70 billion falsely named Inflation Reduction Act on the White House lawn.

Biden has now added $4.8 trillion to the national debt (which is now approaching $31 trillion) in less than two years, and he wants to keep spending.

Six, concerning persecution, censorship, and corruption of the DOJ and FBI: on Sept. 13, 2022, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was approached by FBI agents and asked questions about Dominion voting machines (possibly used for election fraud); they served him with a warrant and seized his cell phone.

(More: Just one day before the seizure of Lindell’s phone, the U.S. Dept. of Justice (DOJ) admitted that it recently served more than 40 subpoenas on associates of former Pres. Trump and seized the cell phones of at least two of Trump’s top advisors. The DOJ and FBI are supposed to treat everyone the same. They are seizing phones from Trump associates, but they helped Hillary Clinton destroy hers.)

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
