Discerning Shameless Deception

If you don't have a framework or standard of living out truth in your mind, heart and life you can easily be deceived. Deception is a type of cloak or smoke screen; a subtle inconspicuous distraction that hides or distorts the truth with false messages/images/ideas/ etc. At its core deception is rooted in evil/lying. Deception can have multiple layers which makes it very difficult to discern reality. It wants to look like the truth as much as possible. It wants to call itself truth when it's not. The more a lie looks or is repeated to be like the truth the more deceptive it is. Deception makes poison look edible. It makes light look dark. It calls evil good. It fights to legitimize what is false/ evil/ wrong. You must have truth in order to believe in it and reject lies. The Bible is Truth and it is God's very Word to us. In it God warns about not being deceived, and that in the days just before he returns that there is going to be great deception and a great falling away from faith in Biblical Truth. The Anti-Christ spirit is Satan/Lucifer who is the master deceiver. He will indwell the lawless one to come. And indeed that spirit has already been at work throughout the generations. This Spirit of Deception has been working on overdrive for the past 40 years creating layers upon layers of subtle lies regarding the truth. Listen carefully, it's important to get to the bottom line. Ultimately, Satan/Lucifer does not want you to know the Way, The Truth and the Life who is Jesus Christ nor who you really are as a sinner who needs Jesus as Savior.  The layers of distraction, deception, and confusion against that revelation has already infiltrated our homes, families, churches, relationships, governments, work places, media programming and reporting, entertainment, religious books, self help books.....We are living in a time where if you don't know the Bible you will be deceived and misguided. There is active deception happening: Religions of Violence are being called Peaceful. Shattered economies are being called strong. Terrorists are being called refugees or are being legitimized as political parties. False Teachers are being called Shepherds. Nations of Peace are being labeled "Satan". It's endless....

The Devil is exceedingly deceptive! He knows the truth cannot be hidden forever, and that learning truth is a process of revelation for people. So he creates his deceptive layers to coincide with the moments that truth is revealed in our lives.  He has created other religious books throughout history to coincide with or fully keep people from the whole of the Bible.  He has tapped into the minds of the people through the endless forms of entertainment and already set up the deceptive rationalizations/reasonings/ explanations for future biblical events that are going to unfold. The Rapture of the Bride of Christ- Were they taken by aliens/a new age evolution or did Jesus call them out of the world before he pours out his wrath on it? Is the tech tattoo the only ticket to buy or sell anything in a cashless global market or is it the mark of the beast that identifies loyalty and trust to the devil? Is homosexuality a full expression of freedom within or is it the final expression and acceptance of rebellion toward God? After being fatally wounded, will the coming back to life of the Global One World Savior seal the allegiance of the world or will Jesus Christ's Glorious 2nd coming overcome that mass deception? 

Who Jesus really is, what happens in the spiritual realm, Angels and Fallen Angels, Heaven and Hell, Human nature, God's nature, basically everything that is true Satan works to distort, because he knows his demise and he wants people to be destroyed with him. He has no hesitation in killing innocence, destroying what is holy and stealing what is sacred at every level of life. His blindfolds usher people into eternal hell with him. Only the Bible shatters his hazy glass. 

Do you know what the Bible says about the following vs. what the world says about them vs. how the Devil has repackaged them deceptively?:

*Tech Tattoos and RFID ( radio frequency identification)

*Global Warming

*Lucifer

*Jesus Christ

*Magic, Wizardry, Ouija- 

*ITE ( Invisible Terrestrial Entities) 

*Giants and Nephilim - 

*Yoga

*Sexual Immorality

*Star Gates / Spiritual Manifestation 

*Israel

*Iran

*Christianity

*Islam

* it goes on and on.......

I pray that the Lord Jesus through his Holy Spirit will bless you with the revelation of his truth through the Holy Bible.
