If Possible, Even the Elect Would be Deceived
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.” Matthew 24:23-25
This word, “if possible,” seems to have now become a reality.
For indeed deception is running rampant. Perhaps you might wonder why I would make such a statement like that, and speak in general terms rather than giving forth a specific instance of the deception.
Well, please allow me the time to give you that.
Over the last perhaps seven years I have watched and listened to many people who have flocked to hear the words of a showman, a person not unlike P.T. Barnum.
“There’s a sucker born every minute….” is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid-19th century.
I’m sure we can still hear the “Come one, come all, to see the greatest show on earth!”
Well, I certainly know that when the Circus came to town, that all wanted to see the most unusual and incredible feats of man and woman; not to mention the many oddities that were on display.
Well, I think we have another Circus going on right now. Because now with what has come to town is certainly turning the heads of many.
There may or may not be the same types of oddities and trapeze shows or deformed examples of humanity, but the showman is still there, shouting out his “Come one, and come all.”
Many indeed disagree with me, while some know and adhere to the truth in that which I speak.
I am speaking of one of the greatest showmen in history now — the one and only Donald J. Trump.
Many have fallen prey to his speech and voice. It beckons for us to hear of the many great witch hunts that have seemingly been done to him.
He is innocent you know; I mean, just listen to his voice and hear of how he has been so ill-treated. Of course, we must rally around him and declare his innocence to the masses.
But what truly causes me to wonder is why so many still flock to hear his voice and to join in with him in his twisted parade. His arrogance and ability to draw others into his contemptuous voice, is not unlike a showman, and yet what type of showman would have lived this life?
“I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.” Daniel 7:8
I don’t expect many to agree with me about all of this, but I do deeply hope that what I am now speaking of may at least be considered.
We live in such a time where thousands of tidbits of information come flooding across to us on our television screens, email, and many other avenues online.
I truly believe that we are living in the very last of days. Many things are already seen on the horizon, but there seems to be an intensification of global events that are culminating even right now.
So, may we develop a greater sense of urgency and discernment concerning the days in which we are now living in.
Selah,

Truth!
I respect the Holy Spirit speaking through you. God’s words are so powerful they cut asunder truth from error. As my grandma used to say “a hit dog yells the loudest. The folks who have the what about, are followers of his and have adopted his warlike unclean spirit and have been deceived by it. Sad but true, you may be the only one to speak clear as crystal truth to them. Keep speaking the truth, and Jesus continue to be with you Man of God
Thank you Natalie. Yes truly, there are many supposed “prophets” and teachers out there that are in disagreement with me about the one I speak of here. I deeply appreciate your words for very few it seems stand with me about this man. But the time will come when their errors will slap them in the face, but it may well be too late for them. God bless you.
I read your prophesy “LIES OF THE ENEMY” Nov 26 1998 and could not help smiling.
“One of the lies is that you must have entertainment in the church. This has caused many to go after the spectacular. The spectacular has to do with a circus-like mentality. Then this becomes something of showmanship”.
It is such an irony that those followers of the prosperity gospel are the ones who call Trump “God’s Messenger/Trumpet”
Do they like his self centered ego and pride, his love for money, his cold blooded ruthless way of conducting business, his adulterous relations, his deceitful tongue, his praise for Putin’s “Genius” move into Ukraine when it started, his lockerroom talk with Billy Bush ? If so, they will also take the Mark that he desires them to take, namely Satan’s seal of approval, to be under his control and to think like him and to do like him.
Trump will tell the people anything they want to hear to be elected as President. He will use the name of Jesus for the wrong reasons.
Many think that the Prophecies mean that they should rather vote for the “wicked” opposition. God is not Democratic, nor is He Republican. He is the Boss. His Rules are His Rules. The voters should rather pray for a candidate to rise who’s first love is God. Who’s heart is pointed towards God, not towards the world. Through such leaders and pastors will God restore America. For now the voters are in a catch22.
Warm regards
What has God told you about Biden?
How about focusing on what the Lord is saying in this hour instead of other things that are minor compared to what I am speaking of?
Well said
Maybe you should simply pray for the man that obviously the Lord has placed so heavily upon your heart and mind, it could be that your prayers are the turning point that would cause these masses to turn to the voice of the Spirit within Mr. Trump, I mean really, is there anything impossible with God?
What a drop in the Eternal Ocean this life is, but what an impact He can make if it’s His Clean Living Water.
God bless you beautiful man. ;)
Abba Father, thank You for the Power of Your Grace through the Cross, the most Beautiful Gift You could have given Your Creation.
Please Lord, like you’ve done for me and for so many, please do for Donald Trump, and through His humbled heart, by the Transforming Power of Your Spirit, turn the masses to the Cross, and through the Cross reconcile him, and all looking to him, back to the heart of their Loving Father and the Kingdom to come. Take what Satan is using to destroy Your children and work it for Good Father, just like You said.
Thank You Beautiful Redeemer.
In Jesus Name, Amen
Certainly “nothing” is impossible with God “but” the deception runs very deep. If one were to pray for a man of perdition would that help? I think not. Perhaps the “real prayer” should be for those who are continuing in their deception.
The nation is being deceived right now!
Agreed Prophet Amen an Amen prayers for you .
Indeed you are right. The church was deceived in kenya. It voted for a criminal president Ruto.
Thank you for speaking this message. Right on.
AMEN! LET GOD BE TRUE AND MAN A LIAR! GOD WILL ALWAYS EXPOSE A LIE & TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL!! LET GOD ARISE- ALL HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED!!!
