Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6
This is a very critical hour to be deceived by the devil. Jesus said clearly in his word in John 8:32; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
We need the truth to sustain us through the times of testing that is coming upon the whole world. If we're not rooted and grounded in truth, we will fall for deception everytime. Some of us have been on this journey with Christ for years and should know some of the common deception out here by now. Our goal as believers is to be imitators of God. If we back up to Ephesians 5:5 which says; For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
How is it that the spirit of whoredoms can run rampant in the body of Christ and very few can detect it?
Ephesians Verse 5. - For this ye know well; an appeal to their own consciences, made confidently, as beyond all doubt. That no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom. Covetousness, the twin-brother sin of uncleanness, is denounced as idolatry. It is worshipping the creature more than the Creator, depending on vast stores of earthly substance in place of the favor and blessing of God. It must receive the doom of the idolater; instead of inheriting the kingdom, he must die the death. The doom in this verse is not future, but present - not shall have, but hath, inheritance, etc. (comp. Ephesians 1:11, 18). The lust of greed overreaches itself; it loses all that is truly worth having; it may have this and that - lands, houses, and goods - but it has not one scrap in the kingdom. Of Christ and God. The two are united in the closest way, as equals, implying the divinity of Christ and his oneness with the Father in the administration of the kingdom.
