The Great Deception is Upon Us - the Devil’s Clever Misdirection

from Shaken Awake Hosted by Ben Lively

The point of today’s episode is to Shake You Awake and Away from the deceptions and misdirection of the enemy – there are too many distractions created by the enemy to redirect, mislead, misdirect and deflect those that would otherwise be on the right path. God’s already won – the enemy has already been defeated, but as we see in today’s current state of the world, the enemy is on hyperdrive to take down and mislead as many to destruction, along with him, as he possibly can. We have the Guidebook and Guide, God and His Word, to prevent us from going astray. Take the blinders off and allow Him to lead you in both truth and knowledge. Stay on the straight and narrow path, that few find. The forms may change and the temptations may vary. But the devil and his cohorts seek disrupt, distract and misdirect the people of God. We need to do whatever it takes to focus on the Word of God, worship the Lord, quiet the voices of distraction, and remove the misdirection of the enemy. If you are not in the Word of God, you need to be there. If you are not in a place of vital worship, you need to get there. In the last passage in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught on the danger of getting distracted from the Word. "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." (Matthew 7:24-27) Where is your CURRENT walk leading you to believe, to act, to place your hope, faith, happiness, peace, joy, and truth in? Is it of the world, or is of the Word? You can only serve one – which will you serve?
