Today, I aim to emphasize the significance of having a relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This relationship is equivalent to knowing the Bible, the Word that became flesh. My objective is to present all the verses in which Jesus spoke on deception, in the hope that you will understand the importance of it, as it was crucial to Jesus that we comprehend it.
I will also provide some commentary on it as well. I'm here to assist you in better comprehending the reasons and the meanings behind the information being conveyed. I will help you understand it better.
So let me provide you with my commentary on this matter by starting with a story that happened recently to a lady to whom I ministered in her youth. I just want to say how proud I am of her that she is now trying to regain a right stand with her HEAVENLY Father. It started with a text that made her very upset about a conversation that she was having with someone in reference to God that went sideways. What do you say to an individual who starts to say many things about the bible but does not have the proper context? This led to a misunderstanding of God's words.
She asked me about the statements instead of being led astray. Which led me to the title of my blog. I want to begin by emphasizing the importance of understanding the meaning of our content, as without it, our writing is meaningless. Today's society often tries to manipulate language to change outcomes and circumstances. This is what some call Satan's language I will write about this in a future blog. However, we are children of God so we use righteous language instead.
After understanding the meaning of the word deception, I want to clarify that I always knew what it meant. However, my issue was how did people get to that stage of deception and not know that they are being deceived. The meaning of this word helped me get that answer.
: the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid : the act or practice of deceiving : DECEPTION
See when you read this you can see that we are making a choice to believe the lie as it is said in scripture. I never adopted the idea that someone does not know that they are being deceived if they have the truth. However, if you don’t scripture tells us that we will believe anything.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.
And will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
This YouTube video sheds light on the concept of deception. Contrary to popular belief, deception is not something that happens to us unknowingly. Rather, it is a choice that we make based on our emotions, feelings, and our own understanding of a situation. God has always spoken against deception and it is important to recognize the markers that indicate when we are being deceived. By doing so, we can avoid agreeing to situations or comments that are not true. However, when we fail to look at a situation objectively, we can easily fall prey to deception. It is crucial to speak by God's teachings and not give in to Satan's language. While it is true that God is purposeful, we must still be wary of the deception that exists in the world. It is our responsibility to pay attention to the signs and not let our emotions and feelings cloud our judgment.
It is clear from God’s teachings that we should not rely on our own understanding or feelings, as our hearts are inherently wicked and difficult to comprehend. Instead, we must base our perspectives and actions on the guidance provided by scripture. This will help us develop a true understanding of any situation we face to make the right decisions. Without this understanding, we can be easily deceived by people who manipulate the meaning of things and present their own opinions and views as facts. These manipulations often lead to deceit, with people lying and misrepresenting the truth. Therefore, it is crucial that we rely on Scripture to gain a clear understanding of things and avoid being deceived.
I also want to make clear that in God’s words, He will show you that you can avoid being deceived. We just need to adhere to His will and not our own.
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.
