Deceived

I think I’ve concluded that many people are being deceived because they have very little discernment or maybe very limited knowledge of the Word of God.  In these perilous times if you haven’t hidden God’s Word in your heart you may fall into deception.  God’s Word says my people perish for lack of knowledge.  There are so many resources at our fingertips to pick from and so many voices to listen to, but we need to have knowledge from the Word of God and spiritual discernment, so the enemy of our souls does not deceive us.

Read 2 Timothy 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Now read some other verses that talk about this same subject.

Matthew 24:11, “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”

James 1:22, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

Matthew 24:23-24, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

Ephesians 5:6, “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

2 Timothy 3:13-14, “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

There are things taught today that should not be taught and many are being deceived because of them so be careful that you are not one of them.  I hope this has been an encouragement and help.  May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super, super day!!  Don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord for He is worthy!!
