Deception and Revival
The Bible speaks much about end times — about wheat separated from tares — about harvest (Revival) and falling away (Deception).
I posted about this some time ago in 2014 on Facebook, entitled “Deception” (See copy below)
We see today how right that was!
The Deception being foist upon an amazingly still unsuspecting public by politicians and the complicit media has reached, for me at least, that saturation point where I have to say, “So far, but no further!”
It is surely the time where we, The Church — maybe just the Remnant Church — must say, “STOP, in the name of The LORD!”
ALSO — when The Church decides to no longer use the name ‘Church’, preferring instead ‘Community’; when that same Church — and I’m not singling out any one denomination here because there are several — when any denomination blesses what God has called evil; when that same Church suddenly decides that hell isn’t real — that the devil is just a flight of fancy — and this among many other heresies — THEN, the deception and falling away has had its final chance and, to me, must be avoided at all costs.
I firmly believe that, if you belong to such a Church, you should now flee to one that is more biblical.
I’m NOT saying we should stop praying for a turn around or revelatory awakening for them, but that the time for the faithful to stay with them in order to ‘change them from within’ has now run its course as they have actually crossed the line, the point of no return!
The great falling away and times of deception are now!
It is time to draw a line in the sand — so far, but no further!
There is a revolution coming to The Church — it’s called by three names — AWAKENING, RENEWAL and REVIVAL.
When this tsunami of God’s Love hits us, The Church — all Denominations — will be changed for ever.
Sadly, some will still reject it — but it’s up to The LORD as to how He deals with that!
All this is upon us now!
It’s at our door now!
What will you do when God knocks at your door?
This is not just the time of change, it’s the time of decision!
The Bible speaks about the time of many being in the Valley of Decision.
NOW is that time for ALL of us, for it’s not just the unsaved who have a decision to make.
We must all decide. As in the days of Joshua,
“And if it seems evil to you to serve The LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . . as for me and my house, we will serve The LORD.” Joshua 24:15.
Actually, as if to reinforce this post, Dutch Sheets posted this about America on: Give Him 15.
It applies just as well to Britain and any other nation.

Deception
“I suppose the oldest sin in the book must be deception or lies, or both.
After all, if the snake had not lied, then Adam and Eve would not have sinned either.
So is it any wonder at all that the prophets are currently queuing up to speak of the coming great deception and falling away of The Church?
Looking at the present state of play in the world and one wonders if Shakespeare realised both the truth and the prophetic aspects of his famous line, “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”
The world appears to be one vast web of deceit. Politicians deceiving us with both their pronouncements and their motives, advertising deceiving everyone with their fallacious claims and statistics, governments deceiving the very people and interests they pretend to serve, world media deceiving us by editing everything in the news to suit one political extreme or another, and so it goes on.
Seems to me there is great deception in the church already but The Bible warns there is a “great deception” still to come.
Seems to me that there are already those walking around claiming to be “the messiah” but I haven’t noticed any of them arriving to the sound of trumpets or in the clouds which, The Bible says, is the way it will be.
So I guess it is all still to come and, according to the great company of prophets, whom Gods Word says He always tells or warns of these events first (Amos 3:7), it is all about ready to happen.
“Surely The LORD God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.“ Amos 3:7
There’s no dates being given, nothing solid like that, just a warning from The LORD that all the signs are right and that it is imminent.
People, take heed of the warnings. The great deception is coming — and with it the great deceiver, antichrist. The great “falling away” is therefore imminent too.
All this to say, keep on fulfilling the great commission, keep doing whatever God has asked you to do, but also keep your lamp full, wick trimmed, and stay alert and ready. Jesus will be coming at an hour and day when we do not expect Him — but I believe that He is coming soon.” (20 August 2014)

Excellent post Chris. You hit the target ,the Achilles heel for the lukewarm church – the slow-sleep-of-apostasy.
The “lie(s)” are everywhere. I thank the Lord He called us (His remnant body Church) out of the herd-thinking of mainstream news and lukewarm christianity. Awake O sleeper – prepare our bridal dress for the King .
Thank you.
It’s all been a long time coming, hasn’t it?
Apparently, deception comes in waves of the ‘Church’. Half truths has always been one of the enemy’s devices…The Bible tells us Eve was deceived, not Adam. 1Tim. 2:14 KJV So, Adam died w/his bride instead of for his bride. We can’t compromise w/the Word church. BUT thanks be unto God for the Last man Adam/Jesus! Who died FOR HIS BRIDE…Stand in the whole TRUTH CHURCH!
