Deception? Carnality Masquerading as Spirituality!

This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.
-- Revelation 12:9 (NLT)

The worst kind of deception is in the realm of the spiritual. Yes, the most subtle deception is flesh (carnality) masquerading as spirituality. It's devastating when the devil enters the church through "God's people." Finally, if we say "we don't need God" we deceive ourselves. The worst kind of a lie is the lie we tell ourselves.
-- James Spruill

Lord, help us to be real believers,
not to be deceived or to be deceivers.
And as You once hurled the devil out of Heaven,
Please, now, chase him far from Your Church!
By the Blood and in the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
