An utter dependence on God is a common trait that I’ve observed in almost every on-fire remnant believer I’ve known, and I bet you’ve found this to be true as well. The word that comes to mind is: yielding. It’s a yielding of our desires, ambitions, and plans to the will of God.

John prepared the way for Jesus. Similarly, there are men today preparing the way for Antichrist. Yuval Noah Harari is a history professor, best-selling author, and World Economic Forum speaker, who has a particular disdain for the Bible and any notion of a living God. We’ll see how he and others like him are deceiving and being deceived as they prepare the way for Antichrist.

The ministry of Jesus began in the streets, “as Jesus was going along.” The Holy Spirit moved from a place to a people on the day of Pentecost, but we keep trying to put the “kingdom” back into a building, where most of what we call “ministry” happens in the building.

It’s like most people in our day are collectively thinking the same thing about the future: “We have peace and safety.”

Have we been so collectively swayed by the church growth gurus, vision casters, and directional teams that we’ve taken our eyes off the great commission? Looking at conditions in much of modern Christianity, the answer is yes.

We are witnessing a growing number of spiritual movements in our time that are masquerading as authentic revivals, but seem to originate from a different spirit. Let’s examine how this spiritual deception sets the stage for the coming global false end-time revival and for the worship of the Antichrist.
