Seeds of Deception

   

The real Y’Shua did not do away with the Sabbath or the Holy Days; He kept those days, as did the early Believers (Matthew 5:17; Luke 4:16; Acts 17:2). Paul wrote that false teachers who preach different doctrines would present themselves as ministers of Y’Shua the Messiah, though Satan would in fact be using them to deceive many (2 Corinthians 11:13–15). The Apostle Peter also foresaw the appearance of false teachers who would "secretly bring in destructive heresies… And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed"

(2 Peter 2:1–3).

The Apostle Paul cautioned that Messiahians "in the last days" must avoid people "having a form of

G-dliness but denying its power" because such people will lead  

Messiahians astray (2 Timothy 3:1–9). These false teachers will deceive sincere people by using crafty arguments about doctrine, specious philosophical reasoning and emotional appeals to vain human traditions (see Ephesians 4:14; 5:6–7; Colossians 2:8).

Most people today do not know what Scripture prophesies. They do not know that Satan is real, nor do they know how he operates or what his intentions are. All this provides the fertile ground for the seeds of deception to sprout and grow—which is what we are seeing today. This was foretold long ago by the prophet Hosea who wrote, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" because they have forgotten G-d and rejected His instructions—and we will reap serious consequences as a result (Hosea 4:6).

As the end of this present age approaches, you can avoid being deceived if you take the time to study the Bible and learn what it actually says (2 Timothy 2:15). Scripture exhorts us: "Test all things; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Y’Shua Messiah stated, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31–32). Widespread religious deception is prophesied to occur as the end of the age approaches. If you know what is coming and how it will come, and if you remain alert and look to G-d's word for guidance, you will not be deceived!

 The importance of words we say or hear: Y'Shua said we would be held accountable for every idle word that comes out of our mouths.(Matthew 12:36). Either our words are passwords to access G-d's power to build His kingdom on earth and the purpose He created us for; OR they create roadblocks to His purpose. Many of us talk too much, and our babbling gets us in trouble. The Bible says that restraining our words is wise (Proverbs 10:19). Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive (Proverbs 17:28).

To settle into who we are in the Messiah, we must learn to speak only the words that are necessary and constructive for the situation. (Titus 2:6), cautions us to be sober-minded. Rather than speak idle words, we must speak from our spirits (our heart) and let our yes mean YES and our no mean NO (James 5:12), speak truth. The fear of G-d can be a very real thing, we need to keep current accounts with the L-rd, according to (1 John 1:7-9). The fear of the L-rd is the beginning of wisdom (Ps. 111:10). We are to love Him and fear Him at the same time. We must take responsibility for our lives because we are not our own. (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

Things that are okay for others to do may not be okay for you, do not be quick to judge. Some people in your life may have to go, and others may need to enter in that you may fulfill your mission on earth. Understand the 'parts' of your inner life, each one must be healthy and working as G-d intended it to work. If your soul is healthy, no external circumstance can destroy your life. The human soul seeks to integrate our will all parts into a single whole life (will, mind, body and soul).

The joy of the L-rd is your strength (Nen. 8:10).

 I hope this helps you overcome the power of manipulation, intimidation and control
