When Does Lying Become Lying Deception

Most people have told a little white lie and not thought too much about it because it was a slight exaggeration of the facts. While others have told an outrageous lie to conceal the entire truth. Well, dear children, no matter the size, either a little white lie or an outrageous lie, to God it is still a lie and a sin. And every sin has its consequences (Galatians 6:7). Today, I would like to speak to you about when lying becomes lying deception, typically a sin orchestrated by the powers of darkness. This is a sin so grievous in the sight of God that it will receive the same punishment as the devil and his powers of darkness. It is essential that we learn what lying deception is or what it means, so we don’t fall into this horrific sin against our holy God. We need to learn when lying becomes lying deception putting us in league with the devil. Sadly this explanation will shock a lot of God’s children never realizing that their lies have become lying deception putting them in a very dangerous position with God. It will put them in a position to reap the full unmeasured consequences of their sin.

To understand lying deception let us first look at the word deception. It is the act of causing someone, an individual, or an entire nation, to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid. Satan has been the master deceiver since the Garden of Eden when Eve was deceived into believing that she could be just like God if she ate from the tree that God had forbidden. This was the classic act of lying deception. Eve was deceived by a lie that appeared to her as the truth (Genesis 3:1-5). So, why is lying deception so grievous? Because it causes God’s precious children to stumble oftentimes into sinning against God. The Bible says, “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6, ESV). Lying deception will always cause God’s precious children to stumble either away from God’s sovereign will or directly into sin. And just as we have seen, there are dire consequences for causing God’s precious children to stumble into sin. God will not take that lightly. The Bible says, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” (Romans 12:19).

In the Last Days, many people in the fallen world including those in both political and religious leadership will lead God’s children astray through lying deception. Just like Eve, the fallen world will be told that they can become just like God. They will be taught that they can control their own destiny and every conceivable problem they encounter. They are taught that they can, in their own power, overcome every emotional and psychological problem. They are even taught that they can overcome the effects of global warming and every new virus descending on the planet. And if that’s not enough we are taught that we can overcome the other evil parties and make our world great again with lasting peace and prosperity. Why is this lying deception? Because we have no power on our own to do anything, we are not God. The world will only get worse because the world is reaping the consequences of their sins. The world is only destined for total destruction by fire, because as the Alpha and the Omega, Christ knows that the world will never truly repent of its many sins. Christ knows in the Last Days the old devil will deceive the entire world through lying deception causing them to turn away from God and trust in their own abilities, to trust in self (II Thessalonians 2:11-12).

The old devil is deceiving the entire world through lying deception because he does not want God to succeed in saving humanity. He does not want humanity to experience the joy and bliss of eternal salvation. Mankind has also successfully learned how to cause others to do their will through lying deception. Through the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), people can pretend to be a legitimate bank or company to trick you into giving them your money with the thought of getting what you wanted but in the end, you get nothing and are deceived. This is lying deception to motivate you to give the deceiver what he wants. Most people can recognize these deceivers as crooks and very evil people. Yet, lying deception is not done exclusively among outlaws and criminals, it is also widely done among the so-called innocent. Both political and religious leaders have become experts at motivating God’s people by pretending to give them what they want and need in an evil world. What they want in exchange is their praise and adoration along with teaching them to trust in their own abilities, which leads them to no longer trust in God exclusively. This borders on the great deception. Furthermore, other people have learned especially on social media how to trick or deceive people into accepting their lies as the gospel truth. Again, their main objective is to motivate others to do what they want.

Lying deception is always seeking to motivate others to do exactly what they want, which is many different things from money to relationships and from political beliefs to religious beliefs. Remember it always starts with a lie. This can either be a half-truth or a bold-faced lie. These lies can either be in photos, images, written text, or a combination thereof. The photos or images could be fake or really old or (AI) generated photos while the written text can either be a bold-faced lie or a half-truth (withholding some of the facts or quoting Scripture text out of context). Again these lies if intended to move others to do or believe something, then it becomes lying deception. This has become so commonplace on the news media and social media that it has most people in constant turmoil believing one thing, then another, or doing one thing, then another. Lying deception has run rampant in the Last Days preparing everyone for the great deception from the Antichrist (II Thessalonians 2:11-12). Just remember lying deception motivates humanity to believe and do things not of their own will but the will of others and specifically the devil along with his powers of darkness.

Dear children, what we need is discernment and a dose of common sense. If we do, then we will not be cast in one direction, then another like a rudderless boat (Ephesians 4:14). We need Godly discernment to see beyond what appears to be so magnificent lying on the surface. Godly discernment is only possible if we have the Spirit of the living God dwelling in us (John 14:26). Remember, it is God through the indwelling Spirit that has implanted His powerful Words in our hearts to help us to discern the truth from a lie (Hebrews 4:12). There is no secret rapture, which is not Biblical, but a visible rapture at the end of the age where the entire world will see Christ coming in the clouds. Every eye shall see, which includes the unbelievers (Revelation 1:7). As Christians, what we long for is the new heavens and the new earth after this old planet is destroyed by fire (II Peter 3:1-10). The Bible says, “Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (II Peter 3:11-13, ESV). Let us have discernment, dear children, and not fall for the great lying deception, for we cannot stop the consequences of mankind’s perverted sins. We will reap what we have sown (Galatians 6:7). Repent and be filled with the Spirit so that you can discern what is already coming quickly upon the planet.

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.

Teach Us To Number Our Days

I have taught this truth from Scripture, to number our days, for many years now, oftentimes in funeral sermons and eulogies. God has taught humanity for many thousands of years that man typically has only seventy years unless he is totally blessed and lives into his eighties. We have all witnessed precious souls, like my younger brother, who only lived one week, and my blessed grandmother who lived well into her hundreds. We have no way of knowing just how long we will be given to live on this planet, so it is necessary to number our days making every day count. Although we could only trust in the providence of God for my younger brother, my blessed grandmother had learned well how to make the most of every day to the glory of God. Contrary to how old we are and the trials that we are currently facing, we can still learn together how to number our days by making every moment of every day count for the best. If we don’t then time will fly by as a watch in the night as if our time on earth never existed; a thousand years in your sight would be like yesterday when it is past (Psalms 90:4-6).

Watchman on the Wall

We cannot magically turn Sodom and Gomorrah into a holy nation by electing new leaders. Wake up, dear children. We are still on the same path. The election results have not changed any hearts, it has not drawn anyone closer to the Lord. It may have driven fear into the other side. It may have given you some temporary joy and peace that things might be better, but it will not change the direction of this nation headed to the abyss unless it truly repents. As a watchman on the wall, it is his job to warn the people that they are headed to certain destruction, that they are still headed toward Armageddon, and that they will reap the consequences of a perverted nation that has turned its back on God. Nothing has changed. Abortions are still legal in most states claiming that life after conception doesn’t exist up to a certain week or month. They still teach little children, without the parent’s consent, that they can choose their own gender. They still allow perversions to be flaunted in the streets of America while people’s hearts drift further and farther away from their Holy God. Nothing has changed nor will it change until people are led to repent and trust in God exclusively. The heart must be changed and that cannot be accomplished through a political process.

There’s Power to Stand Firm

We are all facing unprecedented times with the next election in the United States looming closer and closer. There is a lot of apprehension as to which candidate will be elected and the formidable consequences facing all of humanity. Most Christians rely on whatever power they have to stand firm and not be led astray by the great deception. Unfortunately, many are relying on their own choices to determine their best course of action. The good news is that God has given us great power to stand firm on His truth alone and not be swayed by the world’s teaching, much of it manipulated by the powers of darkness under the cloak of religious morality. Yes, we all see the great daggers cast at the other political party; one claiming the other side is the “enemy within” essentially destroying everything Christ stands for and the other claiming the other side is on the dangerous path of “fascism.” Now, some on the right are going so far as claiming the other politician is the Antichrist as they fear the worsening depravity will bring us to the precipice of Armageddon. We must not be swayed by every political hyperbole or fine-sounding argument. Let’s examine everything with a sound mind. Last week we wrote about “Seeing Through A Glass Darkly” returning to the source and interpreting Scripture properly, today we will talk about the great power given to us to stand firm on the truth we have received.

Seeing Through a Glass Darkly

If I could describe the world today with one word it would be an “enigma” (something difficult to understand). Everyone is trying to figure out everything from the latest prophecy to the latest conspiracy theory, and from the latest church doctrine to the latest tradition. The war is raging on social media and in the halls of Congress dividing the nation not between a few political parties but between every human being. If that’s not bad enough the war is raging in the Churches and between the growing number of denominations or sects. The whole world is seeing through a glass darkly. They look, they read, they try to figure things out and they simply don’t understand. People have read the entire Bible, and they still don’t understand. Everything seems like an anomaly, like the shifting sands of the Sahara Desert. As we fast approach the End, we no longer have time to try and figure out things on our own and develop our own little favorite doctrines at the exclusion of others. We don’t have time to seek after our favorite prophecies and sliced up sermons on the internet or social media. Simply put, we are out of time. Continue reading Seeing Through a Glass Darkly
