BEWARE OF DECEPTION

​Beware of Deception
Matt 24:3
Those who endure to the end shall be saved.
While the disciples walked with Jesus Christ the question came up about how could they know when the end of times would be.
Matthew 24:13
And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives the disciples came unto him privately saying tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of the thy coming and of the end of the world?
As the Lord Jesus began to answer the question, he warned them that they not be deceived concerning those things. He warned that there would be wars and rumors of wars. There would be pestilences and famines. He stated in his word that because of iniquity increasing that the love of many shall wax cold yet though all these things start to manifest Jesus warned that was only the beginning of sorrows but  his true believers must endure to the end to be saved.
How do we overcome deception?
Most people who are in the midst of deception don’t realize until after they experienced the end result. To avoid becoming a statistic it is important to seek after the Spirit of God with your whole heart. Surrender to the will and purpose of Christ completely. We can not give in to the lusts of the flesh or attempt to accomplish our own will. The Lord commanded us to seek the Kingdom of God and all of His righteousness and everything else shall be added. If we stay focused on the Lord’s will and remain sensitive to move of the Holy Spirit, we as sheep will remain within His Hedge of Protection. The enemy is outside the gate looking for an opportunity. He doesn’t come through the front or the side door. He is very crafty. He will bring distractions and things that appeal to the flesh hoping we will put down some of our armor. We are in the midst of Spiritual Warfare. We must continue to contend for the faith whether in good times or in troubled times. We must stay the course and finish the race. Let us not be hearers only but doers also. Do not go astray. #Pickupyourweaponsandfight
