If Satan had a resume, it would consist of three words: Steal, Kill, and Destroy. He destroys everything, including families, marriages, ministries, testimonies, lives, and souls. The problem is that, as people, we think we can manage our sins, like we can have them under control, instead of them controlling us.

We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.

The cultists, including the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others, go out and are incredibly bold while deceiving and being deceived into the lies that will ultimately lead people to an eternity in hell. We have the truth, and that should give us a biblical sense of urgency to reach out to people that Jesus loves.

The holiday season magnifies the same desire to satisfy the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life we see throughout the rest of the year.

For centuries, people have reached inward and upward in hopes of finding something to satisfy the deepest longings of our human heart……..a satisfaction only Jesus Christ can bring. When people look anywhere else but to Jesus for spiritual satisfaction, Satan does what he does best and comes as an angel of light to deceive people into following the (god) of this world, not the one true God. This is last days spiritual deception.

Preaching a different gospel, that was the very thing Paul warns against. A different gospel seeking the approval of man….not God.
