Re: POWER of PRAYER- No Matter Which Faith You Follow=GOD is With You
Trusting in a False Peace
America today is under the seductive power of a satanic lie. Before I say anything more, please know that what I speak here has nothing to do with politics but everything to do with spiritual truth. The fact is that our nation's leaders have cast aside God's Word completely, showing no respect for biblical truth. Now the Lord has allowed a deception to fall upon us.
The demonic lie blanketing America today is a false peace. It is the idea that we can do whatever we please with no fear of consequences. We have already crossed a line in this deception, and now judgment is inevitable.
Paul laid out this divine judgment in the first chapter of Romans. He wrote of those who tried to retain the truth in unrighteousness. In short, they wanted God's Word and their lusts at the same time, so the Lord turned them over to reprobate minds. They wanted to believe a lie, and he sent a strong delusion upon them.
This is the very state of our nation right now. In my time, a former President told the entire country, "I did not commit this sin," but later was exposed for committing the very act he named. I have heard that many Americans have turned a blind eye to both his sin and his lies, saying none of it matters. As prophesied, truth has fallen in the streets.
We constantly hear lies, cover-ups, and manipulations from our nation's capital. Satan's deceiving power, though, goes far beyond those treacheries and depravity. His big lie is an outpouring from hell against God's people.
Paul warned, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables [lies]" (2 Timothy 4:3-4, NKJV).
Who are these deceived masses Paul is talking about? They are deceived Christians! He wrote this letter to the Thessalonian church, addressing born-again believers. These people had sat under biblical teaching and had known God's truth, yet they held on to their lusts and sought out heresies that would comfort them in their sins.
Let it not be so with us, dear believer! Turn to Christ, and tune your ear to his voice and his voice alone.
