The deceitfulness of the lawless one

We must protect our church and it’s people!

We must pray for a shield of armor of protection!

We must rebuke the enemy for he attacks and intercede in the most subtle of ways.

He creeps in like a slithering snake.

The enemy works on us in the most subtle of ways, many times we’re not even aware of it. When doubt, worry, dislike, pride creep in- he is the reason.

The Word, the Bible, the Greatest Book ever written is our operators, instruction, reference, and technical manual for life here on earth. The Word is about good rules to guide us and keep us tuned up.

We need discipline for learning, just as a loving parent disciplines a child the Lord loves and disciplines us.

How blessed are we to have Jesus?

If we don’t practice righteousness we are on thin ice.

We must love our fellow man.

Matthew 26;41

“Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

We are where we are today with Jesus because of love and prayers from our parents, grandparents, relatives, siblings, and friends who have prayed for us over the years.

In these days of up-evil and turmoil the enemy is mad and knows his time is short so he's insidious and relentless with his attacks on us, he wants to deceive, convince, and convert us to his downtrodden way which is the opposite of Gods righteous and loving Word.

If we don’t practice righteousness and love our fellow man we are not of God.

1 John 3;10

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness—the one who does not love his fellow man—is not of God.

At times in this current day and age we are in a spiritual warfare. We must not turn our heads, we cannot wear blinders, we must face reality.

A spiritual warfare continues by forces of the evil one.

We cannot sweep this under a rug, it’s reality.

If we state; “I don’t want to hear about it” or “I don’t believe it” we are doing exactly what the enemy desires.

We must have a shield of armor of protection with faith to extinguish all flaming arrows from the evil one. We must wear a bulletproof vest of Jesus armor.

John 10;10

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

It’s imperative that we are in a group with other Christians learning the Word on a weekly basis for strength. It’s virtually impossible for a Christian man to survive as a Christian alone in this day and age, there are to many temptations in the world.

We men need strength from each other.

As the Word states, we must encourage, confess, and be accountable to each other.

We must have unity with each other and be guided by the Holy Spirit and a love for Jesus and others.

As Christians we are in a spiritual battle, sometimes its so subtle we don’t even realize it.

If we are Pastors, teachers, or writers, we must be extremely cautious, it's even more so because the enemy knows if he can get us off track it will effect the masses.

It's imperative that we are "Children of God".

We must fight off the weapons of the destructive one.

The enemy is about temptations and confusions that are extremely subtle and smooth.

The variables of subtle negative complexity is staggering.

Whatever the enemy can do to destroy he will, the Bible tells us he is the lawless one.

We must not doubt, we must not think of doubt. We must rebuke the enemy when we doubt.

We must not drift away, we must not backslide.

The evil one detests Christians and Christianity and will do anything to attack individuals and the masses.

Jesus Christ is the Righteous One.

I hear this periodically; "don't give the enemy more credit then he deserves".

The enemy deserves more credit then we think he does.

2 Corinthians 11;3-4

3 But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery, your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus different from the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the one you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it well enough!

There will be false prophets and false teachers among us.

The evil one disguises himself as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11;13-15

13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions.

The lawless one creates fog twists our thinking in the most subtle of ways without us realizing it. He plants weeds and desires to de-tune us so we can rust, his goal is to cloud our judgement. He'll do anything to create doubt, fear, and worry.

The enemy wants us to set a bad examples as Christians; possessing pride, judging others, disliking or hating someone, unforgiving, and having doubt; all things the Lord detests.

We need the Lords protection, wisdom, and guidance from the Holy Spirit.

That's why it's imperative that we pray before we listen to a sermon or study the Bible, we must ask for guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. In addition, we must rebuke the enemy ask the Lord for a shield of armor of protection to fight off the enemy.®

2 Thessalonians 2;9

The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders.

We live in this modern day world of distractions with doubt and worry including terminologies such as liberalism, secularism, modernism, universalism, post modernism, women's movement, and political correctness which are all tools of the enemy!

News media's and non Christians focus on and select certain false Christians as an example of Christianity to defy Christianity.

For example; some so called Christians place themselves above others and judge others, that has nothing to do with Christianity!

They give Christianity a bad name, which is exactly what the enemy loves, it is the work of the evil one, it has nothing to do with humility and love; two of the key words in the Bible.

1 Peter 5;8

Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.

The enemy works overtime on Christians because he knows the end is near. He works double time on Pastors, and teachers because if he twists their thought processes it will reach the masses.

2 Timothy 4;1-8

“Preach the Word”

4 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Hebrews 3;12-19

The Peril of Unbelief

12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, 15 while it is said,

“Today if you hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”

16 For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

The False Teachers’ Ungodly Lifestyle

Peter 2;1-10

1 But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. These false teachers will infiltrate your midst with destructive heresies, even to the point of denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring swift destruction on themselves. 2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. Because of these false teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.

4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell and locked them up in chains in utter darkness, to be kept until the judgment, 5 and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world, 6 and if he turned to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah when he condemned them to destruction, having appointed them to serve as an example to future generations of the ungodly, 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish over the debauched lifestyle of lawless men/women, 8 (for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) 9 —if so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials, and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment at the day of judgment, 10 especially those who indulge their fleshly desires and who despise authority.

Exodus 15;9

“The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be gratified against them; I will draw out my sword, my hand will destroy them.’

As Christians, Pastors, teachers, prayer groups, bible study groups, prayer warriors, and chaplains we must stay tuned up with the Lord constantly and consistently. We must not rust®

How do we do that? When we doubt and are confused it's imperative that we;

Pray for a shield of armor of protection daily and ask for wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit only.

Rebuke and resisting the enemy.

We must strive the righteous way.

We must fight off doubt, worry, and pride, some of the enemy's favorite tools.

Face up to reality, there are spiritual forces of evil around us.

Be baptized with the Holy Spirit and the confirmation of speaking in tongues.

Encourage each other, confess to each other, pray for each other, and love each other.

Focus on righteousness and sanctification daily.

Hebrews 2;1

Warning Against Drifting Away

1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

If we aren't on our toes and tuned-up we can easily be placed in a fog by the enemy.

How do we stay tuned up?

By resisting and rebuking the enemy and by constantly asking for guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

The enemy attempts to dilute our sight and hearing.

At times we are in a great spiritual battle.

How does the ternary and destruction happen?

In this day and age of technology it’s easy to have on our smart phone and tablets every version of the Bible and commentaries. With all the hundreds of different versions of the bible, various commentaries, pastor/instructors teachings, and scholarly writings it's no wonder we get confused. These overwhelming variables cause stress and doubt and the enemy loves that.

Doubt, worry, stress, pessimism and confusion are key word of the enemy, they are cancer to our thought process.

Just as there are people of God there are people of the enemy.

The enemy and his evil spirits subtly create demonic devastation, he is constantly at our door.

The enemy's tongue is full of poison. He will twist our thought process if we let him.

We must never say; "I am tempted by God", He does not tempt us!

James 1;13

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

We must be guided with wisdom from the Holy Spirit ONLY and follow and learn from the Word. We must not lean on our own or another man’s understanding.

John 3;20-21

20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

We must not lean on our own understanding, ego, or another man's ideals, theory's and understanding.

The Bible itself is the best commentary, the key to understanding the scriptures correctly is asking the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and guidance in prayer each time we study it.

The Lord detests pride and ego. The Lord loves humility.

The Lord detests judging of others, we have no right, we must be blameless, only The Lord has the the right to judge others. We must not point our finger at another, we must only point a finger at ourselves.

We must stay tuned up with Jesus, we must not rust.

We must love our fellow man, not just our selective neighbors.

Our glass must be half full, we must look for the good in a person, not the bad. None of us are perfect.

As a Christian we must set a good example, not only is the Lord watching us, others are watching us.

We must never think we are tempted by God, temptation comes from the evil one.

Ephesians 6;10-18

Exhortations for Spiritual Warfare

10 Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. 13 For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your waist, by putting on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 by fitting your feet with the preparation that comes from the good news of peace, 16 and in all of this, by taking up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With every prayer and petition, pray at all times in the Spirit, and to this end be alert, with all perseverance and requests for all the saints.

Psalm 37

Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed!

Do not envy evildoers!

For they will quickly dry up like grass,

and wither away like plants.

Trust in the Lord and do what is right!

Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!

Then you will take delight in the Lord,

and he will answer your prayers.

Commit your future to the Lord!

Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.

He will vindicate you in broad daylight,

and publicly defend your just cause.

Wait patiently for the Lord!

Wait confidently for him!

Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner,

a man who carries out wicked schemes!

Do not be angry and frustrated!

Do not fret! That only leads to trouble!

Wicked men will be wiped out,

but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

Evil men will soon disappear;

you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.

But the oppressed will possess the land

and enjoy great prosperity.

Evil men plot against the godly

and viciously attack them.

The Lord laughs in disgust at them,

for he knows that their day is coming.

Evil men draw their swords

and prepare their bows,

to bring down the oppressed and needy,

and to slaughter those who are godly.

Their swords will pierce their own hearts,

and their bows will be broken.

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than

the wealth of many evil men,

for evil men will lose their power,

but the Lord sustains the godly.

The Lord watches over the innocent day by day

and they possess a permanent inheritance.

They will not be ashamed when hard times come;

when famine comes they will have enough to eat.

But evil men will die;

the Lord’s enemies will be incinerated—

they will go up in smoke.

Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt,

but the godly show compassion and are generous.

Surely those favored by the Lord will possess the land,

but those rejected by him will be wiped out.

The Lord grants success to the one

whose behavior he finds commendable.

Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong,

for the Lord holds his hand.

I was once young, now I am old.

I have never seen a godly man abandoned,

or his children forced to search for food.

All day long he shows compassion and lends to others,

and his children are blessed.

Turn away from evil! Do what is right!

Then you will enjoy lasting security.

For the Lord promotes justice,

and never abandons his faithful followers.

They are permanently secure,

but the children of evil men are wiped out.

The godly will possess the land

and will dwell in it permanently.

The godly speak wise words

and promote justice.

The law of their God controls their thinking;

their feet do not slip.

Evil men set an ambush for the godly

and try to kill them.

But the Lord does not surrender the godly,

or allow them to be condemned in a court of law.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands!

Then he will permit you to possess the land;

you will see the demise of evil men.

I have seen ruthless evil men

growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.

But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!

I looked for them, but they could not be found.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly!

For the one who promotes peace has a future.

Sinful rebels are totally destroyed;

evil men have no future.

But the Lord delivers the godly;

he protects them in times of trouble.

The Lord helps them and rescues them;

he rescues them from evil men and delivers them,

for they seek his protection.

Keeping Gods Commandments.

Words of Assurance.

Warning about false teachers.

Children of God.

1 John 2

1 (My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.) But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous One, 2 and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

Keeping God’s Commandments

3 Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments. 4 The one who says “I have come to know God” and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person. 5 But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him. 6 The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked.

7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have already heard. 8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 The one who says he is in the light but still hates his fellow Christian is still in the darkness. 10 The one who loves his fellow Christian resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But the one who hates his fellow Christian is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Words of Reassurance

12 I am writing to you, little children, that your sins have been forgiven because of his name. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, that you have conquered the evil one. 14 I have written to you, children, that you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, that you have known him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, that you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 16 because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.

Warning About False Teachers

18 Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the anti-Christ is coming, so now many anti-Christ have appeared. We know from this that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us, because if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they went out from us to demonstrate that all of them do not belong to us.

20 Nevertheless you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 21 I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the Antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.

24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life. 26 These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

27 Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.

Children of God

28 And now, little children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame when he comes back. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practises righteousness has been fathered by him.

Warning Against Drifting Away
