This article is called “DECEPTION.” Every human on the planet should understand what that is. I know we all face deception throughout our entire lives. Deception and lying is a way of life for so many. And a big issue all through your life is this:”WHO CAN YOU TRUST?” The word deception is used 67 times and the Bible and there are many, many references in the Bible about deception using other words. People should also understand the words, false and fake, because it is a way of life for so many. There are also so many (so-called Christians) who are.
You have to know and recognize there are many “MESSIAHS” believed on through hundreds of Religions. CLICK THE BLUE LINK AND SCROLL TO MESSIAHS. But these vary in degrees, and many are perversions of man’s mind and mythology. Scholars who are much smarter than I am, have studied for years tracing history and say, throughout our earthly history there has been over 4200 Religions in this world. I do not doubt this, and I would say, “Satan started every one of those false Religions, because there is only one true Salvation that will get you from earth to heaven.” That Dear Reader is “DECEPTION.” yourself this question: “HOW MANY MESSIAHS CAN THERE BE? DO YOU THINK THERE ARE OVER 4200 DIFFERNET MESSIAHS?” There is only one Jesus Christ that died on a cross, to save us from SIN.
THE ORIGINAL SINNER IS THE ORIGINAL LIAR
Satan has spiritual children, even religious ones. Here is what Jesus told the religious rulers of his day. John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” The Apostle John said in I John 2:21 “I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”
I want to state here what Deception really is in many forms, so that no one will be confused. It is more than lies. WIKIPEDIA “Deception is an act or statement that misleads, hides the truth, or promotes a belief, concept, or idea that is not true. This occurs when a deceiver uses information against a person to make them believe an idea is true. Deception can be used with both verbal and nonverbal messages. The person creating the deception knows it to be false while the receiver of the message has a tendency to believe it (although it’s not always the case). It is often done for personal gain or advantage. Deception can involve dissimulation, propaganda and sleight of hand as well as distraction, camouflage or concealment. There is also self-deception, as in bad faith. It can also be called, with varying subjective implications, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification, ruse, or subterfuge.”
From Dictionary .com “Deception doesn’t just involve lying. It can consist of misrepresenting or omitting the truth or more complicated cover-ups. Anything that involves intentionally misleading someone is deception. People can even engage in self-deception by avoiding the truth. The word deception often implies a pattern of behavior, rather than a one-time act. The adjective deceptive can describe something that deceives or is intended to deceive. A person who engages in deception can be described as deceitful.” Understand Deception is much more than a lie. That is why I said deception comes in many forms.
I want to submit that DECEPTION has been Satan’s favorite tool that he has used from the beginning. If deception did not work, there would never be over 4200 False Religions throughout history. If deception did not work, we would all still be living in the garden of Eden. I want to stop here and get you to see something very important.
What was Satan’s first recorded lie on earth? Satan’s first lie was how he lied on God. Genesis 3:2-3 Eve knew what God has said, she understands it.”And the woman said unto the serpent, We, may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”
Here is Satan’s lie and response, Satan discredits what God says, and uses deception to make God out to be a liar. Genesis 3:4-5 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” Is this not the same lies and deception that we see in our world today? Does not Satan still lie and discrete everything relating to God, God’s Word, His Christ and His children? He still substitutes false and fake Religions and False Salvations world-wide. The same deception games. Why change it when it works so well.
I stated in my first paragraph the word deception appears 67 times in the Bible. But the Bible shows over 100 times the results and consequences of deception. Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 ““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.” This is the same game for the future.
THE GREATEST DECEPTIONS
Galatians 6:7 KJV “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Here is a great truth about God. God will never deceive you. You cannot mock God and get away with it. Sowing and Reaping are the consequences of our thoughts, words and actions. SAME KIND. Hebrews 6:18 KJV “That by two immutable things, (GOD’S PROMISE AND HIS OATH) in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:”
There is a great deception all over the world and Satan loves it. Here it is: All Gods are true and equal. There are many ways to God, many different roads lead to God. We are all calling Him by different names, but praying to the same God. That is one of Satan’s greatest deceptions and lies. And Pope Francis pushes this under his new “fraternity doctrine, and fraternity treaty.” So, let’s all come together and concentrate on what we all have in common. Answer this question for me please? II Corinthians 6:14 KJV “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” If you are a Christian, then you just read the answer.
There are many “SELF DECEIVED PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS AND THEY BECOME COMFORTABLE IN THIER OWN DECEPTION.” II Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” You might call them good church people, but they have not been saved or put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. They would hold to their own good works and performance for a false Salvation.
They have a fixation on religious activity, and some are self-deceived. Then there is the moral person. They will tell you they believe the Bible but cannot tell you what the Bible says. They will tell you they believe a person should be moral. A person should live right and be good to others. So, that also equates to Salvation. It is like God puts their good works on one side and their bad things on the other side. If their good out numbers the bad, then they get into heaven.
Being in church and activities gives them a feeling of being part of the group and accepted. Church membership they equate to Salvation. Think of all the religious organizations and all the religious activities. There are hundreds of them, but they will not get you to heaven. Some even fall into religious Cults because it is exciting, and do not know they are in an occult, they just know they are accepted there. That meets their wants and needs. It is like “I am a good person; I do not do many bad things.” It is like their being good balances out their sins. God never accepts that. Romans 3:10 ““As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
The only work that will ever get anyone to heaven was the work of Jesus Christ on a cruel cross, dying for every sinner that has been or ever will be. He satisfied the Father for us. Our sins separated us from God and forgiveness. Jesus alone paid for the sin debt. If we have to pay the sin debt, then all of us will be hell. Do not set up any Comfort Zone, because you feel that you are doing good, with your own works. Too many are “DECEIVED” believing their own works, or some works Religion, pleases God.
CONCLUSION
We live in a world of DECEPTION now more than ever. Please leave me a message below and tell me how much you trust and believe the media, the governments, politicians, the globalist, Doctors and the list goes on. There are False Religions you better not trust. There are False Denominations that your better not trust. Any religion, denomination or organization who places what they do above the work of Jesus Christ for Salvation, get away from them and run like hell. Let me share the real Jesus with you. Hebrews 7:26“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;” He is God’s Perfection. God has a standard that is based on Himself. He will accept nothing else. Jesus is God’s standard of holiness and perfection; WE ARE NOT because we have all sinned.
I want to run a test with you please. II Corinthians 13:5 “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” Go look in the mirror and tell me the person you see has never done or said anything wrong. Tell me the person you see is Holy and perfect? I know better and you know better. We have all sinned. But I have great news for you. Jesus is our holiness and perfection that satisfies God for us.
The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, paid for our sins, and establishes a true relationship with God for US. Sin has separated us from God and His fellowship with him. Jesus was our substitute on a cruel cross paying for our sins. II Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” JESUS WAS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PERFECTION THAT SETTELED THE SIN DEBT FOR US. GOD COMPLETELY ACCEPTED THAT FOR OUR SALVATION.
Will you turn from yourself and will you turn to Jesus (for Salvation and forgiveness?). Will you bow your heart and ask God for forgiveness and Salvation? (Jesus has already paid for it,) If you will God will instantly forgive you and save your very Soul. Jesus was and is the perfection for us. And he was the perfect substitute who paid for our sins and forgiveness. Romans 10:13 say, “FOR WHO SO EVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. Ask God and you will receive it. Please do it now. If you have called on God for Salvation, let me know below in the comment section so I can rejoice with you. This concludes the article DECEPTION.

We are living in a world that is full of deception in so many ways. I don’t believe it is going to get better. I think this is end times, we just don’t know how long end times is going to last. Only Jesus can save you. Read your Bible, it is very clear that your good works will not save your soul. We should all strive to be decent human beings, but Ray is correct. Confess your sins and turn from your wicked ways. Ask God to come into your heart and He will gladly do so! It’s not a matter of if Jesus is going to return, the unanswered question is when.
Thank you my sister. You are right on target and I agree completely. God’s Word is the authority and tells us exactly what we need and what to look for. You are welcome here anytime and any suggestions will be appreciated. I have really missed you. GOD BLESS YOU-RAY
