USING GOD'S WORD === TO PROVE SATAN IS THE DECEIVER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you wondered what is happening in this world today? Why is there so much chaos? Down through the ages there has
been peace then chaos! The Bible tells us that in the beginning there was chaos and destruction of this earth before mankind
was created! "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" (Gen 1: 1-2). During
this time, Satan was the original one chosen to rule this earth, until sin was found in him. "How art thou fallen from heaven,
0 Lucifer [Lucifer in Hebrew is Hillel], son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of
the north: I will ascend above the heights ofthe clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and
consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a
wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the house of his prisoners?" (Isa 14: 12-17). God said of Satan,
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast
walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee" (Ezek 28: 14-15).
The Apostle John in Revelation tells us that Satan has deceived the whole world! "And the great dragon was cast out, that
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him" (Rev 12:9). Satan the god ofthis world, has hidden God's truth from most of mankind. "But if our
gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe
not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Cor. 4:4).
Is it no wonder that Satan has deceived the whole world since the beginning of mankind. "Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not
eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat ofthe fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst ofthe garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch
it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die" (Gen 3:1-4). Both Adam and Eve was deceived
by Satan! Both tried to place the blame on each other! This was Satan's first lie to mankind!
Satan tempted Christ as He was fasting. He offered Christ rulership of the world at that time. "And the devil, taking Him
up into an high mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto
Him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give
it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine" (Luke 4:5-7). This
verse shows that Satan is the god of this world!
As time went on, Satan and his lies caused chaos into every generation. Christ said to the Pharisees in John 8:44, "Why
do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My word. 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 leaders of this United States of
America are following in Satan's footsteps! They lie to us in speeches, printed and television news articles and use scare
tactics to deceive people!
Satan the deceiver has the whole world blinded to this day! "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Cor
4:4).
Is it any wonder then that the whole world believes in the false Christ's that we are told about in the books of Matthew and
Mark? "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matt 24:4-5). And, "And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest
any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;and shall deceive many" (Mark 13:5-6).
Mankind is taught the gospel is about the person of Christ and not the true gospel of the Kingdom of God that is to come
at Christ' return! Religious leaders use the name of Christ, but they don't obey the word of God.
The Catholic Church leaders changed the 7" day Sabbath worship to Sunday worship. And the Protestant leaders followed
right along. They observe the pagan holidays such as Christmas, Easter Valentines Day and Halloween instead of God's
true Holy Days as prescribed in Leviticus 23. Even the Jews follow the false teaching of postponing God's true count for
the Holy Day. They count back 177 days from the the seventh month to get the first day of the first month for counting
their Holidays!
God's word does not change. "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed"
(Mal 3:6). Paul in the New Testament said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (Heb 13:8).
The Protestant say that the law of God has been done away, but what does Christ say about that? "For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:18-19). The world is being taught a false Christianity!! The Jewish religion does
not believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and the Messiah they are looking for! "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?" (John 5:46-47).
Throughout God's word, we are told we cannot add to or take away from God's truth! "Ye shall not add unto the word
which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your
God which I command you" (Dent 4:2). "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book" (Rev 22:18).
How has this whole world been deceived by Satan! He has twisted all of God's truth with lies! How can we believe the so
called "Christian" world when they are feeding us Satan's lies. Right now most of the false churches are teaching the
doctrines of devils. They are changing the law of God regarding marriage between a man and a woman. "And he shall
speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time" (Dan 7:25).
It was the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States that decided if gay marriage is legal!! They are teaching that
is alright with God that a man marry a man and a woman marry another woman! What an abomination in God's eyes! They
do not preach the true doctrines of the coming kingdom of God, but a false doctrine of compromise! It's easier to
compromise with truth then to live the truth. The world is being taught by strong delusions. "Let no man deceive you by
any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already
work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose
coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not
the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thes 2:3-12).
Today, we the end time called people of God, must let the Bible be the interpreter of our beliefs! We must not keep looking
to Judaism, the Protestant and Catholic church teachers to guide us in our study of God's word! We must search for truth
in the Bible. We cannot let Satan deceive us by not doing our own study and prove all things by the Word of God. ☜
