Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.
1 Timothy 4:1
And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Matthew 24:11
The verse warns that many false prophets will appear and lead people astray from the true faith.
These false prophets will have a way with words, and may even appear to be Christians.
Deception is believing a lie. It’s being blind sided with false information that keeps you from walking in the fullness of the light and the will of God.
It is a major weapon of Satan.
In the book of Mark, Christ talks about the coming deception. We’re warned that even the elect might be deceived.
This will happen when “false messiahs and false prophets … appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Mark 13:22)
Scripture tells us to “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
(1 Peter5:8)
God has given us the key to avoid being deceived, that would be the very Word of God!
“So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time,”
Mark 13:23
The Word of God is the only foundation that we should be anchored to. Period!
Stay alert and sober.
Many Blessing’s,
