“just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.”

Ephesians 1:4-6 NKJV

“And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.””

Matthew 19:4-6 NKJV

Before the foundation of this world, we were chosen that we should be holy and blameless, living before Him in our love for Him. Being predestined, adopted, and placed into His Beloved through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of His Will. His choosing is what keeps us and determines who we are according to His plan and purpose. Self-determination is rebellion and cannot bring acceptance. This is in the heart of all men and women, who are created in God’s image.

The importance of the beginning of all things is an essential spiritual truth, as Jesus refers to in this passage. The authorship, the origin, is the true source of defining a thing. Jesus not only is referring to what is written, but He is also confirming His witness of the beginning of creation. John writes of Him: in the beginning was the word, and the word was God, and the word was with God. He is speaking as the authority on this truth.

The unholy spirits being released in these days, that are determined to make what are absolutes into variables, are confronting all believers. The demonic spirit of transgenderism that is being promoted, primarily in our country, championed by the liberal agenda, is addressed by Jesus, defending the Holy absolute of marriage.

In these two passages, He refers the religious, so-called believers of His day, to the beginning — before the fall of man. First, it was not so, or it was not this way in the beginning. Second, He distinguishes them by making them male and female. Creating a man first then a woman, because it was not good for man to be alone. Third, He instituted the holy relationship of marriage, which is one man for one woman, becoming one, a unity designed for life. Fourth, a warning given by Jesus, “What God has joined together let no man separate.”

To say the least, the spirit that has been loosed since the 60s, the big bang theory and creation is not as Jesus said, “it is written,” but has led us to this time of self-determination. It is believing the lie, spoken by the Father of lies, Satan: You too can be as gods.

The same Pharisees that came to Jesus in the above verse, He addresses at another time:

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, (nature) for he is a liar and the father of it.”

John 8:44 NKJV

For any believer, group, or church to, in any way, give any credence to this lie, is a denial of, as Jesus said, “It was not so at the beginning.” They have been deceived. For not only from the beginning, but we were in His mind before the foundation of the world. Halleujah!

The Sign, not signs.

In Matthew 24:25, Jesus, warning the disciples of the end times, says, “Be Sober, Be vigilant.”

“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”

Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

DECE’IVE, v.t. [L: to ensnare.]
To mislead the mind; to cause to err; to cause to believe what is false, or disbelieve what is true; to impose on; to delude.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
Sober- of sound mind, or think soberly, serious
Vigilant- watchful, to avoid danger.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Whenever the end times, or last days, is spoken of in scripture, it is often prefaced with a warning of deception. Some form of the word deceive appears 75 times. Be on your guard against being deceived.

In the Jewish encyclopedia, 40 false Messiahs have been recorded in Israel since Jesus.

“And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Four examples of Jesus’ warning:

• Matthew 24:4 Take heed
• Matthew 24:5 shall deceive
• Matthew 24:11 shall deceive
• Matthew 24:24 shall deceive

First, signs and wonders alone cannot guarantee the truth is spoken. Second, even The elect, chosen, would be deceived if it were possible. God chose them, our security. It’s the greatest danger to threaten the believer.

Pilate says to Jesus, “What is truth?”

Three coordinates of truth:

• Jesus is the truth
• God’s word, the Bible, is the truth
• The Holy Ghost is truth

All three must testify the truth and agree.

Jesus again:

“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!”

‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

• Liberation Theology, Marxism, Revolutionary — use the poor.
• Eastern Guru and the New Age movement.
• Father Christmas, Liberal Theology, the Bible is not the word of God.

Pride opens the door to deception. Contention cometh before pride and pride before the fall.

The Lie. The first lie: “For God, knows that, in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be open, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” … ‘So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took off its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.”

Flattery

“A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.”

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

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

God’s wrath comes on the deceiver and the deceived.

“and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The love of the truth (agape)

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except their come, a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2 Thessalonians 2:3

Falling away by believers who are deceived.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that do his righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:7

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers, lust and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Titus 3:3

How to be free from deception.

• “Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His “Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭25
• Humility & Fear of God. This is the beginning of truth. So many promises of God
• All scripture first before personal revelation.

• Leave the initiative to God. He will speak, He will lead you into truth.
• Beware of fantasy. Stay in scriptures, fascinate means to bewitched.
• Keep it simple and plain. KISS, Corey Ten Boom, keep it simple stupid.
