What is Spiritual Deception?

Deception: The act of deceiving or the state of being deceived by an other. To Trick, use of something that deceives or is intended to deceive; the use of fraud; artifice. [Artifice is a clever trick or stratagem; a cunning, crafty device or expedient; wile. Form of trickery; guile; craftiness. A cunning; ingenuity; inventiveness: a drawing-room comedy crafted with artifice and elegance. A skillful or artful contrivance or expedient.]

Spiritual Deception: is the result of not following or obeying the Word of God.  When a believer adopts any thought, doctrine, or practice which is contrary to God’s written word then he enters into the spiritual darkness of heresy and deception.

For the last 4-5 years I have been wrestling and praying about this new culture and trend spreading through our churches and country as well as places around the world carrying a large amount of deception to all of Gods children, sinner and saint. I never thought it would hit so close to home and in my life time. Not now! O how the return of Christ is near. So much deception is storming within the church and our christian faiths and believers all over, Thus including our leaderships, our congregations, our everyday cultures.


The bible says in the last days we will see departure from the True “faith once delivered to the saints,” from Gods Holy Word. How we are seeing it happen before our very eyes today. In the last year my heart has become heavy burdened about some deceptions God has shown me near and abroad.  Some have come to pass and some have yet to be pass. My heart grows heavier the more God shows me and leads me to pray. It has been very hard to watch the change of the church and those whom follow at abroad, as well as those I love so dear whom are close to our family while they fall blindly in to the traps of deception.  


Jude 1:3  ³Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.


We see this to be true with the short time given to satan before Christs Return. The deceptions of the enemy lurk Everywhere and effect Everyone.  All Gods children are being led away from him with these new trends and deceptions. Be alerted children of God as He moves in to show you the truths and reveal these deceptions and those who are out to deliberately deceive. In the noted scriptures below [a midst various others] God is warning us these very things will happen  while approaching the last days.


Revelation 12:12  ¹²"For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only short time."
Matthew 24:24  ²⁴"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
1 Peter 5:8  ⁸Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.


Not only has Satan sent "false" Christs into the world to capture the hearts of those who do not know the true God and Saviour, but he has also commissioned deceivers, false brethren to promote a form of Christianity to seduce believers who do not abide in God’s written word. {Thus being known as this new "SEEKER FRIENDLY TREND!" Less of God more of Man!}

Galatians 2:4 ⁴But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.


Believers all over are being fooled/tricked by signs, wonders, and false miracles performed by the latest deceptionally blessed leader/speaker to come on to the scene. They fail to acknowledge Paul’s warning about this very thing.
 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.


These followers fail to become Bereans, better known as those who “search the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” [see Acts 17:11 noted]  Therefore these followers or professed believers allow “wolves in sheep’s clothing” [see Matthew 7:15 noted] to minister a corrupted gospel to them. These teachers are really “ravening” and “grievous wolves” who do not care for the people in the least, but instead speak “perverse things, to draw away disciples after them” [see Acts 20:29-30 noted]. At the root of the deception is “a source of corruption [see Matthew 6:24 noted] for they “through their greed, will use false stories or excuses to make merchandise” of their followers [see 2 Peter 2:3 noted]. This is a perfect description of the Wealth and Health preachers of today.


Scripture Referneces from above:
Acts 17:11 ¹¹Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so
Matthew 7:15 ¹⁵"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves]
Acts 20:29-30 "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;  and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Matthew 6:24 ²⁴"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other You cannot serve God and wealth. [Luke
2 Peter 2:3 ³and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

I share this from my heart as my spirit has been stirring for sometime now and I feel like this is something God wants and needs His children to know and to be alert on. Listen, in all honesty, Our God is God! He has not changed. He is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.  Nothing and No one can say or should be saying any different. God loves you! He loves ALL of His children, Sinners and Saints! He is a Loving, Forgiving and Merciful Father, whom hates the very site of sin. He will discipline and correct All of His children as He sees the need for correction or discipline. Sin is sin! Our bible is clear on what God considers sin. Deception is sin! God is shaking the foundations of the Church to open the eyes of all His children who are blindfully led in to this deception.


If you can spare an other moment or two, please take the time to view this footage I added below. I really wish more and more preachers would fall back on God and start speaking the Truth from Gods word. There is such an intimidating spirit out there lurking amongst Gods people within the church and in the world. So many people lose sight of what intimidation is so I have added the best definitions found to describe it below.


Intimidation: To make timid, To feel with fear, As through the force of personality or by superior display of wealth, To control, To Frighten or Terrify, To discourage, To force into or deter from some action by inducing fear.


Be careful of the cultivated atmosphere also as it lurks with in the spiritual deception. Please note again the definition for use.


Cult:  A form of control, power, A religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, often times with members living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader [Note that not always is this the case];  Educated; Cultured; An instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers; attracting a small group of devotees.


Please get IN TO Gods word! Read your bible daily and pray!  If you hear something that IS NOT in Gods word then you should NOT believe it or follow it. I also want to make one other point. EVERYONE CAN HEAR GOD SPEAK! There is not just one person who can hear from God. God speaks to everyone, if we are willing to hear him. If someone claims that God said this or that, you will know because he would told you the same thing or something that is closely in line to what was said. You will also know it was of God because HE will NOT leave it or us! HE will see what ever it is He said or promised and He will see us through to the very end! He fulfills His plans, No matter what they are or who it may be with. God will never abandon His Word or His Children!   

God Bless you all! I pray that all Gods children will have clarity and more insight to the deceptions lurking around us. May the veils begin falling off of all Gods children and each see the truth, Gods Truth!


A Very Strong TRUTHFUL Message.
