Daily Devotional. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, AND SHALL SHEW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:23-24. These 2 verses are a great Warning from the Lord, revealing to us the techniques and traps of the enemy, Satan, AND his followers. Here’s how it works, and this is from Satan’s point of view. He sees a Christian who reads his Bible and prays. The 1st attempt to deceive the Christian. “Hey, Joe Sheeper, it should be obvious to you that Christ isn’t here, LOOK, He’s over there, where all those people are running to. That can’t ALL be wrong, go check it out”. (No movement by Joe). 2nd attempt. “Hey Joe, you really are a Christian, you’re not easily fooled, that’s good, now let’s get down to some good teaching. Preacher so-and-so is world known, he’s written bunches of books, and he’s made time in his busy schedule to come to your church for a one week revival, the guy is amazing, he REALLY knows the secret things of the Bible. Don’t miss even one service, he understands things most Preachers miss”. (Still Joe Sheeper doesn’t fall for it). The 3rd try by Satan. “Good for you Joe, you’ve proven yourself, I’m glad you don’t fall for cheap parlor tricks. You can let down your guard now, here’s the Real Deal. Master Prophet “x” is coming to The Coliseum near you, and he’s got the most godly teaching you’ve never heard. It’s like he’s got a direct line to heaven. Tickets are $75.00 each, but a friend is sending you 4 tickets for free so you can take your whole family. And be ready, while you’re all there, you can catch the gold glitter falling from heaven. Listen to me and I’ll teach you the really good stuff, and you’ll REALLY be blessed”.
