I know we skim over, water ski if you will on The
Word of God’s Words, never really stopping to think and mediate on this,
Selah. I myself am guilty or should I
say, have been guilty, yet, recently there’s been a verse that’s been
ruminating in my mind in light of recent events here in the US, Matt 24:4; ‘See
to it that no one misleads you’.
Remember, it was His disciples that came to Him
privately in verse 3 and they had 3 questions on their minds:
1) When will these things happen?
2) What
will be the sign of Your coming?
3) And
the end of the age?
To which, the One that knows, didn’t answer any of
these with the first words out of His mouth. He says, Hey! See to it that NO One leads you astray!’ Other versions say, See to it that No One deceives
you! (GAV = Godley Amplified Version).
Now why would He who Knows, say that? Because He knows that a time was coming when
deception was going to come in preparation for the one who is coming with
‘great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, lead astray, deceive, if possible,
even the elect’ (Verse 24) Not only is
it deception but the admonition is to watch out that ‘you NOT be led
astray’.
Hmmmm, someone or something is out to lead people
astray. You might ask yourself, ‘Astray from what’? Ever wonder about that? I mean if sin if missing the mark as we were
taught, then what’s the mark? After all
aren’t we like sheep that have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own
way. (Isaiah 53:6) Kind of sounds like the 1st verse
in the satanic bible, ‘Do what thou whilst’. Matter
of fact the root word of astray is that same for the word ‘seducing’, so no
wonder ‘the Spirit speaks expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils,’ (1 Tim 4:1)
Lets reflect on current events in light of potential
deceptive/seducing spirit-o-meter. After
all we are to beware of demonic doctrines right? Would you be able to spot one
if you heard one? Then prove scripturally
why it’s a doctrine of demons without having to set an appointment with your
pastor?
Regardless of whatever allegedly happed in Boston on
April 15th and the week that followed, leader of the Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz took the
field at Fenway Park to say a few words of encouragement to the fans gathered there as part of the ‘Boston
Strong’ reaction to the events.
What did “Big Pappi’ have to say? “This is our F-bleepin city, and nobody is
going to dictate our freedom, Stay strong”.
(Little did he know the dictates that are on the horizon). His message
was greeted by a roar from the crowd from the chairman for the Federal
Communications Commission praising Ortiz for speaking from the heart! Not fine for profanity since it was on
television! I guess the FCC must have
been taught ‘The Lord knows my heart’ so its ok to scream the F-bomb in front
of families without shame.
So what was
the reaction to the profane language from those in authority? Bud Selig, the Baseball Commissioner said
amazingly, ‘I agree with the FCC. I
thought David Ortiz’s choice of words was outstanding, given what he was trying
to say. I mean that sincerely.” Huh?
Ok Rick, what’s the big deal? Nothing if David Ortiz nor Bud Selig profess
any kind of faith in Scripture then there doing what they’re supposed to do. If however, folks in your church don’t have a
problem with it, then they have been deceived and seduced and led astray
because they can’t discern between the ‘holy and the profane’, they need to
turn from their wicked ways.
The Florida State Legislature recently had hearings
on whether to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion only
to be shocked when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to a ‘post-birth
abortion’! (You read Right!) Now you can see how we are sacrificing our
sons and daughters to Molech! ‘They sacrificed their sons and their daughters
to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and
daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was
polluted with blood. Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the
whore in their deeds.’ (Ps 106:37-39)
Can you believe the following dialogue that took
place in the Florida State Legislature? Rep.
Daniel Davis then asked Snow, “What happens in a situation where a baby is
alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”
“I do not have that information,” Snow replied. “I
am not a physician; I am not an abortion provider. So I do not have that
information.”
Rep. Jose Oliva followed up, asking the Planned
Parenthood official, “You stated that a baby born alive on a table as a result
of a botched abortion that that decision should be left to the doctor and the
family. Is that what you’re saying?”
Again, Snow replied, “That decision should be
between the patient and the health care provider.”
“I think that at that point the patient would be the
child struggling on the table, wouldn't you agree?” asked Oliva.
“That’s a very good question. I really don’t know
how to answer that,” Snow said. “I would be glad to have some more
conversations with you about this.”
Later another representative asked Snow, “What
objection could you possibly have to obligate a doctor to transport a child
born alive to a hospital where it seems to me they would be most likely to be
able to survive?”
Snow said Planned Parenthood was concerned about
“those situations where it is in a rural health care setting, the hospital is
45 minutes or an hour away, that’s the closest trauma center or emergency room.
You know there’s just some logistical issues involved that we have some
concerns about.” Huh?
In the sports venue we are supposed to support and
encourage a marginal NBA player for having the ‘courage’ to come out and pronounce
he’s gay while we are to say good riddens to Tim Tebow for being such a
distraction and disruption while he strives to be the best athlete he can be
willing to do whatever is asked of him all the while professing his faith in a
Creator and maintaining a morally pure lifestyle and is a professed virgin to
this day because he’s waiting till marriage.
Have we been led astray or what? Recently we had ‘the national day of prayer’
here in the United States’, when are we who are called by His name ever going
to humble ourselves and confess that we have inherited lies in the religion of christianity
and turn from our wicked ways and walk in His Ancient paths of obedience? (Not to be saved, get over it, because you
are supposed to be saved and show it with your obedience!)
As I write this, the Supreme Court will soon be
rendering a decision about what constitutes marriage in these United States. I won’t predict what they’ll pass down,
however, if they rule opposite of The Creators definition, then watch the
shaking that will ensue.
See to it that YOU are not deceived! Led astray!
Ask for the ancient paths and there walk in them!!!! Jer. 6 16
Why? Even stronger delusions are
coming! Mat 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will
arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible,
even the elect.
