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. This is a warning from Christ about the intentions and ways of Satan. If Satan could have his way, he WOULD deceive every Christian out there. BUT HE CAN’T HAVE IT HIS WAY, HE DOESN’T GET TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS BECAUSE HE’S ON A LEASH AND CAN’T GET YOU!!! The ONLY time Satan can “get you” is when The Lord allows Satan, on a leash, to do a little something that the Lord will use to Strengthen you for His Purposes. Satan ALWAYS means you harm, God will ALWAYS use it to Build you up in Christ. NOTHING CAN TOUCH YOU UNLESS IT GOES THROUGH THE THRONE ROOM FIRST. And most things Satan wants, never make it through the Throne Room. God knows what’s best for you and will use ALL things to strengthen and build you up in Christ, ALL for your good. Don’t misunderstand, there will be a Great Apostasy, a great falling away from Christ, in the last days. Many of us believe we are fast approaching the last days, and even into them. The lord knows His Timing. Satan wants to deceive people about every Truth. ONLY those willing to allow themselves to be deceived, will be deceived. NOT ONE OF CHRIST’S SHEEP WILL BE LOST, NOT ONE. Anyone who turns away from Christ, and never comes back to Him, never was one of His to start with. Remember the Lord Lord people? They were never His. Here’s the point. If you are one of His, you will never be lost BECAUSE YOU KEEP FOLLOWING CHRIST. But if you’re just a groupie, a hanger-on-er, you’ll drop off as soon as a little trouble starts. A little tribulation, and you’re gone. That’ll be Hell waiting for you, and there, you’ll NOT, Be Blessed.
