Matthew 24:4, And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.”

(My emphasis!).

 

When I started writing this blog, I spent time talking about deception.  It is time to look more specifically at what deception looks like.  Jesus said this to His disciples; he is still giving this warning to His followers today.  Deception is a statement or act which misleads, hides the truth, promotes a belief, concept, or idea that is not true.  For example, the serpent was able to get Eve to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil through a statement which was misleading.  The serpent implied the question, “Did God really say you would die?”  The question was meant to create doubt about truth.

 

Consider the seeds of doubt being planted in our minds today.  Today, more than ever, we are being told to trust the government because the government knows what is best for us.  “Trust us”; you do not need to work hard anymore because we, the government, will provide for you health care, the cost of your education, and, in the process, create a utopia!  We, the government, are going to provide care for your children, and continue to give you a stimulus check because we, the government, want you to be dependent upon us.  Sadly, it seems no one cares who has control over us as long as the free money gets deposited in our accounts.

 

DECEPTION!  We better wake up in this country and world because all this is giving power to the government and the government will not give it up. 

 

As long as I am at it, let me throw out an idea I heard in an interview last week.  You and I really do not know the real truth about this vaccine.  Did Bill Gates say or not say that the vaccine has the ability to change people’s DNA?  It depends on who you read.  But, let me say that fear of not being able to travel, or do anything without the vaccine is troubling.  Now, the “experts” are saying the covid is not as bad as they made it out to be.  But, look what the results have been.

 

I understand how easy it will be for our finances to be taken away from us.  Banks around the world are already wanting to go cashless and to put everyone’s financial ability on a chip.  How easy is it going to be to demand people to get a mark on their hand or forehead in order to buy and sell?  It is certainly going to be easy; by playing on one’s fears and creating confusion and doubt I see anything can be done.

 

Here is my point this morning:  Keep your eyes centered on Jesus and get into His Word.  Pray to discern what is happening and do not be distracted!  Believers must be diligent in their Christian walk to stay on the narrow way that leads to God’s kingdom and eternal life.  Things are not getting better; they are getting more challenging.  Remember, God is in control and He has not been caught by surprise by what is happening in this country and around the world.
