Strong Delusion

Strong Delusion

2Th. 2:11 - 'And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.'

It pains me to see so many Christians these days that are blind to the truth. Have you ever felt like people just can't see what you see? It's like, they flock to conference after conference, hearing the same hype sessions that get them all "positively motivated" and take all their money.

They fly all over the world to see famous preachers and they have all the books, videos, and tapes of their famous preachers, yet they are bound to sin, walking in darkness, and hooked on heresy! They can't read the bible, they can't have a prayer life, and they just can't get free from their issues!

They everyday hear the same watered down Gospel messages from motivational preachers, yet when it comes to making good, sound decisions, they constantly fail to do so. Our people are being lead astray by our churches most popular preachers, but trying to tell someone this will get you cussed out, ridiculed, and outcast!

People will say stuff like, "Touch not the anointed" or "You are judging". If you challenge them about their favorite superstar preachers, they will walk out of your life and consider you some kind of "too deep" person that is off. They will distance themselves from you and choose the comfortableness of darkness rather than the responsibility of the light.

Why is this? Well, God said that HE is responsible for these crooked preachers. He said that he would send them! The homosexual Bishops, the money hungry TV preachers, the immoral Gospel music performers, and the self absorbed shepherds are all sent by God for a reason. They are the spiritual "fly paper" to show those that do not really want the truth!

You see, the whole reason that sin is in the earth is to make righteousness right! Without sin, there would be no choice to choose God. God needs the devil to make him God. Without the devil, God would not appear great to us. He even said in the bible that he "created evil". This was to show his goodness and his mercy.

And for this same reason, God has allowed crooked preachers and self made Bishops to raise themselves up in the church. They have the mega-conferences to draw thousands while all along promoting their own agenda. They, as 2 Timothy 3 states "creep into the homes of silly women, laden with lust" to get paid!

The bible said that these women will flock to them but never get delivered! Ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth! And the homes of these selfish preachers are reflective of their true motives because their own children are bound to sin and yet they are promoted and lifted up? I'm telling you, it's God's plan to allow all these things to be because they attract those that "have pleasure in unrighteousness!" That means, people that really want to walk in Christ and sin will find a way to do it if they follow men that promote themselves and not the righteousness of Christ.

In other words, you are attracted to what you want, not what you need! God wants us to want his truth, not these money making lies that are being preached. God wants us to seek him and his righteousness, not follow a watered down "purpose driven life" fantasy! He wants us "Christ" driven and Spiritually sound! He wants us to follow his truth, denounce sin, and be a doer of the word not just a hearer!

So, the strong delusion is sent to weed us out, sift out the ones that really want their own way rather than God's way. So, when you are in that heated debate with that person that just can't seem to understand why you are against these money hungry preachers and homosexual bishops, relax. Don't argue and don't debate. They won't see what you see because seeing it would mean that they could no longer follow their own agenda, but they would have to disrupt all their plans and follow God's plan.

They have chosen the lie because it fits their own way. They have pleasure in following the way of the flesh and will defend the ones that support their plight. Only the "elect of God" will not be deceived! "Matt. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. "
