Where do you think is the most appropriate place for Satan to work his lies and deception on Christians?
Sorry! But I am not going to answer the above question. How about asking the Holy Spirit, gifted you by our heavenly Father in Jesus Christ.
Perhaps the following Holy Scriptures may edify you.
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons. 1 Timothy 4:1
He will brag and oppose everything that is holy or sacred. He will even sit in God's temple and claim to be God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4
And please do read up the entire chapter 2 of 2 Thessalonians and 1 John 4:1-6.
But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you all things, and what he teaches is true – it is not a lie. So continue in what he has taught you, and continue to live in Christ. 1 John 2:27
Be circumspect over your pastors, teachers, your church and those who are accountable to our heavenly Father for your spiritual well being. Remember that every worker who have committed their lives to serve our Lord Saviour possess abilities equipped by the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who filled us to do every good work for the Father's honor and glory. We are asked to recognize and identify the presence of our Saviour in these workers. John 10:4, My sheep knows and recognized my voice.
When the Holy Spirit lives in us, the Light and Truth will expose the charms, seduction, and bewitching lies and deceptions of the evil one, including the works of his servants.
Without the presence of Christ's Spirit in us, we are ineffective and insufficient. The Holy Spirit was gifted to guard and protect us, the sons of the Living I AM, made worthy by the blood of His Son, our Saviour Jesus at the cross. By His grace and mercy in His unfailing love, we were redeemed, priceless to our Loving Father!
Ever stopped, paused and wondered what Jesus meant in his teachings to us, as he constantly endure worries and distress, guarding over our salvation, our spiritual birthright through Him.
Jesus Christ, our Saviour unceasingly cautioned us about false prophets, false teachings, and false doctrines level at us by the evil one as we approached the last days. Evil, lies, deceptions and darkness will continue to breed in the midst of Christ's church, his family.
Allow me to conclude by mentioning the following verses from Matthew 24:23-25, Mark 13:21-23 and John 16:1-4, "Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or 'There he is,' don't pay any attention. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones. Watch out, I have warned you about this ahead of time!"
Indeed, we have been warned!
Sharing God, my heavenly Father in Christ Jesus's wisdom that fills my tots daily.....
