THE POWER OF DECEPTION
I’ve been sitting on the sidelines of the political arena and paying attention since early 2020. Of you that know me, also know I was in the military for 21 years and I was entrenched bare political jousting the whole time. I’ll be the first to tell you, I was wholeheartedly deceived to what our purpose was compared to what really took place until the final few years. So when I say I’ve been paying attention since 2020 I had finally connected enough dots for me to compile a pretty clear picture of not only what is happening in our country but also around the world.
WWIII, YOU DECIDE
In 2020 with the onset of “Covid 19” and the whole world shut down simultaneously the proverbial writing was on the wall. At that time I told my wife that what we were witnessing was the start of World War III. I told her that at first we are not going to see any shooting, missiles, or bombs but we are going to see a lot of people die. Fast forward four and a half years and what have we witnessed. In the beginning there were no guns, missiles or bombs but there were vaccines and a lot of people died or sustained life long injuries. We have also witnessed a war between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Gaza. These two wars have a very strong possibility and a high probability to expanding to catastrophic levels. The clues are right in front of us, the proverbial writing is on the walls. I’m absolutely not claiming to be prophetic about this situation and that God told me of this. God did not personally tell me this, I’ve just been paying attention.
WE JUST NEED TO GET ALONG, REALLY?
As things stand, we have what could be very dire days ahead of us, at least by worldly standards. It may seem like an awkward time to bring this up, but please bear with me, I’ll close the loop before the end. The Bible warns us not to be unevenly yoked in 2 Corinthians 6:14. It says, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness”? I bring this up at this point because I’ve heard over and over and over, especially in Republican circles that we all just have to get along. I agree, it would be great if we could all get along but the essence of who we are prevents that. It’s like asking oil and water to mix. It doesn’t matter how much you shake it, it just doesn’t mix. It’s like asking a person who believes the end justifies the means to side with a person who operates in faith and trust. Those two people will never see eye to eye. They operate on totally opposite ends of the spectrum.
WARNING AFTER WARNING ABOUT DECEPTION
The Bible is very clear about not being deceived and once you realize the world is full of deception and you take into consideration 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, “3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them”. It becomes very apparent the corruption in this world comes through those that are deceived by the god of this world so that can’t recognize the truth. So, here I bring it back around, the deceived are so deceived that they wholeheartedly think their thoughts are the truth. And those that are not deceived and actually can see the truth will never be able to change their ways…. BUT,
THERE IS HOPE IN JESUS
There is hope, and it comes in the form of Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to take our sins away and rose from the dead, three days later. Jesus did not just cover up or sins, He obliterated them as if they NEVER happened. He bought and paid for us on the cross and took away all of our inequities. He made it possible to be born again and be an adopted son or daughter of the most high, God almighty. All we have to do is repent of our errant ways and accept Jesus’ sacrifice.
THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM
The Bible tells us in Proverb 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding”. According to the AMG publishing Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible, KJV, to fear the Lord is to hold Him in high esteem, see Him as awe inspiring, to hold Him in high regard and it is not just fear him because what He can do to you. Fearing the Lord is just the beginning of wisdom and opens the door to life long learning that is not available until we individually accept Jesus as your savior.
I KNOW, MANY WILL DISAGREE, TODAY
Now, I imagine there will be plenty who disagree with what I’m writing here, but I’m just relating to you what the Bible teaches us. With that thought, please let me remind those who don’t believe or doubt what is written here about
Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children”.
THE NUTS AND BOLTS
What it really boils down to, the nuts and bolts of what we are up against is spiritual warfare. Satan hates God’s creation and hd Hates God, because he wants to be God but he is not. Because Satan hates God he attacks God’s creation because he can’t attack God. One of the ways he attacks is through deception. Are you getting the picture yet. It all boils down to that you can’t be unevenly yoked and you choose the master you want to serve and there are only two, God or Satan. Which side of the fence are you on and have you realized it’s by choice?
