WARNING: YOUR ABILITY TO DISCERN & SEE IN THIS HOUR IS CRUCIAL

Long read, but WORTH it...

WARNING: YOUR ABILITY TO DISCERN & SEE IN THIS HOUR IS CRUCIAL... Deception on the Rise as the Enemy INFILTRATES the Church. 

REMAIN ROOTED & GROUNDED IN TRUTH.

Why??? We are in the END TIMES... Return to the FOUNDATIONAL PARTS OF THE GOSPEL. Satan seeks to sift out the Jesus of the Bible, and replace Him with a false jesus, and a false gospel that leads to the GREAT FALLING AWAY THAT WILL LEAD MANY TO HELL.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 says, "LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU by any means; for that Day will not come unless the FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST, and the MAN OF SIN is revealed, the son of perdition." (Emphasis mines)

Revelation 21:8 states, "But the cowardly, UNBELIEVING, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART in the LAKE WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Emphasis mines)

As I was sitting with the Lord this morning He began to remind me of multiple dreams I had concerning the importance of me being able to see and discern in this hour before moving to California. What He revealed to me in these dreams was that my focal points wouldn't be on the world, but my focal points needed to be on the importance of me being able to SEE the POSERS within the body of Christ to protect myself and others. To protect THE SHEEP. A WATCHMAN ON THE WALL. He revealed to me there were people in leadership positions, and those sent out by man on assignments with God's chosen ones that are working for the devil, and being influenced by demons. 

The scariest part about being deceived is when you don't know you're deceived. I strongly believe some of them that are deceived are unaware they are deceived while being influenced by demons. 

1 Timothy 4:1 says, "Now the Spirit EXPRESSLY says that in LATTER TIMES some will DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED to DECEIVING SPIRITS and DOCTRINES OF DEMONS,..." (Emphasis mines)

The words "GIVING HEED" in 1 Timothy 4:1 means PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION to, BELIEVING, and FOLLOWING FALSE TEACHINGS that originate from Satan and evil spirits. It means LETTING GO OF GOD'S TRUTH to tune in to a different source. Instead of listening to the Gospel, a person starts listening to lies per Google/multiple sources. 

BEWARE OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS that disguise themselves as the Holy Spirit operating through leadership, or anyone else for that matter. These spirits influence people to mix some truth with an incredible amount of lies causing much confusion with the hopes to sabotage and/or get them out of alignment with God's way. The Lord revealed how familiar spirits operate through a dream He sent me almost a year ago. How many of these people given over to a familiar spirit are no longer ROOTED in God's TRUTH.

Remember, Jesus is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33), but I also must remind you that He is not the God that only plants you in comfortable assignments or circumstances (Rom 8:17). What you do with and for the Lord must not be done with selfish ambition (Philippians 2:3). He said to pick up your cross and follow Him (Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, and Luke 9:23). If you want to know what that looks like go study Jesus life, especially from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Tree (Cross) (Matthew 26:36–46 and Mark 14:32–42). 

I also must warn you that those who are deceived are loved by God with souls that are in danger. God's heart is to RECONCILE them back to Him (2 Corinthians 5:18–19). You may play a part in this, so you must use wisdom on what that looks like for each person (Proverbs 2:11). 

You must remember that to love someone doesn't mean to withhold truth and become hyper grace (Jude 4, John 1:14 Romans 6:1–2, and Titus 2:11–12, ). It also doesn't mean to be hyper hitting people over the head with the Bible without the love of God in your hearts (Ephesians 4:15, Ephesians 4:25, and Psalm 15:2). Your motive for speaking truth must be in alignment with God's heart with the hopes that they are reconciled to the Father. 

You must be balanced in your approach, but NEVER straying from the TRUTH of God's Word. He never called us to blend in or become like the world, and as a matter of fact He has called us to do the direct opposite (Romans 12:1-2, 1 John 2:15, James 4:4, and 2 Corinthians 6:14). To be peculiar people who stands out from the crowd (1 Peter 2:9). There should be something about you that draws them to you. THE LIGHT AND LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST THAT SHINES IN DARKNESS, BUT NOT OVERCOME BY IT (John 1:5).

As I sat with the Lord about the end times and deception He began to highlight certain scriptures.

The first thing Jesus told His disciples when they asked Him questions on what He shared about what's to come was... “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU."  

Matthew 24:3, ... “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the SIGN OF YOUR COMING, and of the END OF THE AGE?” (Emphasis mines)

Matthew 24:4, "And Jesus answered and said to them: “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU." (Emphasis mines)

Conclusion:

TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. GUARD YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS (Matthew 6:22-23). BE MINDFUL ON WHO YOU ARE CHOOSING TO LEARN FROM, OR WHO YOU ALLOW TO SPEAK INTO YOUR LIFE. FOR WE ARE IN THE END TIMES WHERE WE WILL SEE A GREAT FALLING AWAY WITH A GREAT DECEPTION. IDOLIZE NO ONE AND/OR NO THING. PUT JESUS IN HIS PLACE... THE THRONE OF YOUR HEARTS WHERE HE BELONGS, LEST YOU FALL INTO THE GREAT DECEPTION.
