Believers are harmed by the adversary when he comes as the deceiver because he is subtle and comes disguised as an angel of light as shown in (11 Cor. 11:14-15). Paul shocked his listeners that many of their apostles were actually false when he said, “and no marvel (surprise); for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light”. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the minister of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their works.Paul shows as false ministers appeared as true ministers, so also Satan can masquerade himself as a true angel of God. The purpose of coming to a person in the role of the deceiver is to trick that individual into accepting the false for the true. A believer’s protection discerns the spirits to see if they be of God and studies the whole counsel of God’s Word and rightly dividing the Word by interpreting Scripture with Scripture.
People seem to blindly trust their church leaders and famous personalities by relying on them to do their Bible studies and tell them how to live. No one seems to be watching the sheep. According to the Word of God, a Good Shepherd never is a coward and runs when the wolves come, but he fights for his sheep. Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in AMONG YOU, not sparing the flock,” (Acts 20:29).
There is a way out of that kingdom of darkness which is through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins,” (Col. 1:13-14). Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling
(Ps. 2:11, 12). Who is watching over our Christian children? Seducing spirits are not reserved only for adults; children can also fall under their power.
Books are being written concerning the sexually-oriented, witchcraft and violent cartoons, movies, books, games, computer games and television. We are aware that these are avenues that Satan has built for the entrapment of the children of our generation. However, parents must know one of the most important things of family life, which is your children’s relationship to God is as important as your relationship to God. God has a vital interest in your child to grow spiritually as He wants you to grow. It doesn’t happen automatically and takes planting the seed of the Word into the heart and watering that ground. Your child needs the same spiritual nourishment from your training. The necessity of reaching children for Jesus at their earliest age cannot be overstated. Parents must also be interested in their child’s Christian spiritual associations and Christian computer games. Satan is now infiltrating the Christian circles with his surprise tactics to destroy the Church from within.

This article is so true. There is a need for discernment in our churches. My wife and I recently withdrew from a church in Ohio that we were members of for 13 years. It was once a strong Bible-believing and preaching ministry. Over a period of time, we noticed radical changes taking place that didn’t feel right. That church began to allow “christian” concerts, karate (power team) and comedians to come and “minister” at the church. That church has also adopted one of the “Seeker Friendly” models to help spark numerical growth. We could no longer be a part of this “church”. I’m talking about a national ministry in which if I named the Pastor (and I won’t) you would fall out of your chair as you read this. I’m grieved as people are being taught that they cannot leave their “covering” and if they do it will open the door to calamity, while at the same time these “leaders” are leading them into apostasy. I once respected the leadesrship of this “church” but not anymore. I believe that scripture warns us to leave “churches” like this instead of staying and “believing” for them to change and go back to the truth.
Thank you for your comments.
This is exactly why we decided to do our new web site… Multitudes of Christians have left their churches and many were asked to leave, because they could not sit under such bewitchments. I receive calls everyday concerning the busied, wounded Christians who left and are sitting in their homes with their Bibles and Jesus…
Signs are exploding everywhere that Jesus Christ is coming back soon. Apostasy and the great falling away is a key sign.
The Seeker Friendly Church Model promoted through the New Age Internationalist Pastor, Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church, is a system that no longer holds to the Biblical principles or the fact that Jesus is the ONLY way back to God the Father!
“Pastor” Rick admitted that he is a CFR member (Gov. Agent). His job, to train the pastors in witchcraft-mind control techniques to steal the souls of Christians… He has more than 400,000 pastors to learn these practices “to build bigger churches.” They are told to take the KJV bibles out, crosses, and Jesus… and wear T-shirts in the pulpit…. Older Christians can see the changes but the younger ones go after these entertainment preachers.
Jesus is coming soon. Please do pray for Miracleinternetchurch. We are under tremendous attack but at the same time, getting a great response.
We decided to put our teachings, videos and articles up for those who lost their churches… but still have Jesus.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” (Jn. 14:6).
YOU WERE CREATED FOR CONNECTIONS WITH HUMANS? NOT JESUS
An emphasis in Rick Warren’s new magazine is “Connection.” In the “Editor’s Letter,” Rick Warren says: “YOU WERE CREATED FOR CONNECTIONS…. Life is all about connecting. A disconnected life merely exists” (p. 2-3). Warren promises that the Purpose Driven Connection will give the “power” and the tools for this connection. “Power flows through connections…. When you’re a member of the Purpose Driven Connection, we’ll help you develop the four kinds of relationships you need in order to grow: mentors, models, partners, and friends” [1]
False prophet and false gospel . . . absolutely not! You were born to fellowship with God and He’s made the provisions to do so!
The blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
At the tomb, it seemed that Satan had finally triumphed but Praise God! Early on the first day of the week, all was changed completely, for time and eternity. The Son of God came out of that tomb, the keys of hell and death dangling at His belt (Rev. 1:18). This was total victory!
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 Jn. 3:8). God knows the subject of principalities and powers. He witnessed Lucifer, the archangel of praise and worship, becomes a potentate of evil principalities and sinful powers. God says that Christ is the creator of all power.
(Col. 1:16), “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him.”
