A Time of Deception

A Time of Deception

“Take Heed that no one Deceives You”    Matthew 24:4

There has been no greater time of deception in this world than right now!  Lying goes hand and hand with Deception.   Our government holds the largest number of liars of any other organization. They even lie to cover up the lie that they told in the first place.  Who can you really trust?  It surely isn’t our government leaders.

The only one we can trust is God Almighty!  He does not lie, he never deceives and He is truth.  In John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”  This is where you go for Truth and Life.  There is no deception in God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. So how do we get answers for our lives?  Open the Bible which is the Word of God and pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the answer.  I promise you that He will if you are open to it.

This world has always been drawn into deception by Satan.  He wants nothing more than for you to believe the lies that are constantly being thrown your way.  Pray for your children in college; Satan has sent his demons in to many of the staff members, including the teachers, to proclaim lies about history, Christian leaders and sin that is against the Word of God. These young minds have set out to learn about the world and the times we live in.  Colleges are set on teaching a lie about sin being right and good being wrong.

No one is perfect and that’s the truth, but true Christians are not ‘haters’, they just believe the truth in the Bible.  The days of slavery were gone a long time ago, but the troublemakers are bringing it back to the forefront again and to make everything seem racial.  Speaking for myself, I was raised in a small town where we were all neighbors and cared for each other.  I have always respected people for who they are and not what they look like and raised my children the same way.  I have never believed in slavery and understood the horror of it, but I didn’t feel guilty about what other people did years ago.

We have had black and white families in our church and never think about a racial divide.  We are like brothers and sisters.  Many of us are good friends are good friends and never have anything to do with this controversial stuff.  We are Americans who should all be working together to improve our country. All these protests never seem to lead to anything good, but generally turn ugly and people end up getting hurt. 

The point of all this is, if we can’t stand together for our country, how can we possibly look past the deception and go on to the reality of what is happening?  North Korea is looking for a battle with the U.S.  All this other stuff is minor if N. Korea sets off a nuclear weapon. Don’t people realize that once a nuclear bomb hits here or anyplace else, there will be retaliation?  Then who is going to worry about who is right and who is wrong? 

Look at the news coverage on Puerto Rico with no houses standing and no water or electricity.  If you don’t think it can never happen here, you are living in a dream world.  Just like Jesus said in Matthew 24, there is a time coming when it will be ‘nation against nation’.  That time is here now.  What is happening now is just the beginning.

This is a warning of what is to come.  Young people, don’t buy into Satan’s pack of lies.  Believe in the Truth of God. People of this country, don’t listen to the deception of others, but Stand for the Truth!  You’ve heard the statement that ‘Life is what you make it’.  That’s a lie, because without God you’ll never make it at all.  Without God, you are headed to Hell.  You may be rich and successful and own a lot of things, but I have never seen a hearse pulling a U-haul.

Life isn’t what you make it, but it is, “Who you choose to live for.” There are only two choices; God or Satan.  If you haven’t made that choice yet, it is not too late. God loves you and won’t give up on you until your last breath.   Forget all the different agendas; look towards God and call out to Him.  Perhaps you think he has let you down, or that He didn’t answer your prayers.  God always answers us; it just may not be when you want it or the way you wanted it, but if you look back you’ll see that He was there all the time.

Do not let the enemy of your soul deceive you. God loves you just like you are and is waiting for you to call on His name.  Don’t give up on God and He won’t give up on you!
