“But there will be false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you.” 2 Peter 2:1
“And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.” 2 Peter 2:2
The evil one never gives up. He has been given free rein in this world and he is running at a speed we have a hard time keeping ahead of. There is only one way to overcome the evil, the hypocrisy and the false teachings of the world around us, and that is to stay plugged into Christ Jesus and never unplug. We are living in such a time that the evil one is moving into our churches and other religious activities, disguising himself as one who is of God himself. He knows the word of God well, and because of this, he is able to make tweaks and minor changes along the way that will lead those who are unsure, or newly converted to the ways of Jesus, into confusion and down the wrong path. He will try to use the bible and God’s message against us. He is sleight of hand and able to make changes to our beliefs that go unnoticed until it is too late. You and I must stay strong in our faith, wise in our decisions and alert to God’s holy word. We must know God’s word frontwards and backwards. We must use the bible to check everything we hear and are told. If the words coming our direction are not lining up with the ways of Jesus and his commands, then we must run away from the evil being thrown our direction. We must understand that just because someone looks good, sounds good and stands upright does not mean that they are truthful and honest. The devil is not that evil looking cartoon character we so often see in cartoons. He is a professional schemer, liar, and smooth talker. We must be prepared. We have the tools at hand to stay wise of all of his tricks. God’s word is full of promises and commands that allow us to repel all evil the devil can throw our way. Let us all stay plugged into Jesus and stay strong in these last days. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
