HOW EASY IS IT TO BELIEVE A LIE?
At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time. Matt 24:23-24
A train of cars was shown me, going with the speed of lightning. The angel bade me look carefully. I fixed my eyes upon the train. It seemed that the whole world was on board, that there could not be one left. Said the angel,
“They are binding in bundles ready to burn.” Then he showed me the conductor, who appeared like a stately, fair person, whom all the passengers looked up to and reverenced. I was perplexed and asked my attending angel who it was. He said,
“It is Satan. He is the conductor in the form of an angel of light. He has taken the world captive. They are given over to strong delusions, to believe a lie, that they may be damned. This agent, the next highest in order to him, is the engineer,
and other of his agents are employed in different offices as he may need them, and they are all going with lightning speed to perdition.” I asked the angel if there were none left. He bade me look in an opposite direction, and I saw A LITTLE COMPANY traveling a narrow pathway. All seemed to be firmly united, bound together by the truth, (E.G. White Early Writings)
THEY ARE GIVEN OVER TO STRONG DELUSIONS, TO BELIEVE A LIE. those are the key words my friends. “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” Matt: 24:5 My friends today How is YOUR SPIRITUAL IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Do you allow self to die daily as you allow the transforming power of the cross to place into effect defenses through God’s Word and Spirit that will fight off Satan and his delusion of lies. Remember my friends To function properly with the saving power of Christ, YOUR SPIRITUAL IMMUNE SYSTEM must be able to detect a wide variety of abnormal condition that Satan attempts to spread in our lives.
Most of the time they are in the form of mental images which becomes the blueprint, of how we live our lives from day to day. In today’s society it is usually in the form of TV AND the INTERNET. Between our work schedule’s, family, hobbies, friends and our Churches, our minds are already in overload. And then Satan brings one more element into the picture, which he calls a relaxing evening in front of the TV or INTERNET.
And once our minds our occupied with Satan’s foolishness, we tend to forget about the love, grace and mercy of a risen Savior who gave it all for our Salvation. My friends if our goal is to be in God’s pure and holy kingdom one day, we must begin to eliminate whatever is in our lives that destroys our SPIRITUAL IMMUNE SYSTEM and allows our minds to be GIVEN OVER TO STRONG DELUSIONS, TO BELIEVE A LIE.
Today we must be honest with ourselves, and face the fact that television IS ONE BIG LIE IN ITSELF, which allows a persons mind to be easily manipulated by government and corporate advertisers. Remember Satan’s only desire is to control our minds each day which in the end only eliminates us as a child of God and keeps us from entering Gods kingdom.
As we move closer and closer to Christ soon return. Satan weakens our SPIRITUAL IMMUNE SYSTEM more and more with the things of this world, but we must die daily and tell ourselves We “have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20),
Life is too short, God gives us ample time to turn our lives over to him and not squander His precious time away in front of the TV or the things of this world that do not put CHRIST AT THE CENTER OF OUR LIVES. As Humans what we digest daily in our Mind, and Body becomes a part of us, so if we digest a lie daily we become consumed by that lie and it becomes the central part of our IMMUNE SYSTEM.
So today I ask that you give it all to the master and once you allow Him to have full control through His Word and Spirit you will never be GIVEN OVER TO STRONG DELUSIONS, TO BELIEVE A LIE. Remember “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and ONLY A FEW FIND IT.” Matt 7:13-14
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
