Daily Devotional. Take heed to yourselves, THAT YOUR HEART BE NOT DECEIVED, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; Deuteronomy 11:16. Deception comes in all shapes and sizes to fit any possible situation you may find yourself in, IF YOU LET IT. Whether in the church, (4 walls), or out of the church in the world, deception is EVERYWHERE. There is no escaping it, we all grew up believing all kinds of deception around us. It’s a part of us and our lifestyle. Did you grow up with, Santa Claws, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, church priests, (and preachers), would take care of you and look out for your best interests, the government safety net would help everyone, and the government would always tell us the truth, for example, the “grassy knoll”, and 911? PEOPLE, THAT’S THE WORLD OUT THERE, IT HATES CHRIST, IT’S FULL OF LIES AND DECEPTION. It’s full of walking dead men making global decisions about living people. The Bible doesn’t tell us to hate them, but to love them in Christ. Christians have been given a Code of Conduct on how to behave in a world full of people who are growing daily in their hatred for Christians. They love religious people, they hate Believers. Satan is getting angrier because his time is getting shorter. He uses people to make Christians lives harder. Learn and use the 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit. You’ll need every one of them before your life is over. Satan throws mud, wash it off with The Word. He’s defeated, see the deception and spread Truth, The Gospel, Christ, to all around you. What, if you do that they might kill you??? Every Christian Martyr will stand up and cheer you on. You and I have nothing to lose, we have nothing, Christ has it all, our Retirement Benefits are waiting for us on the Other Side. Discern Deception, Preach Christ, Be Blessed.
