Wake up and Stop Allowing Yourselves to be Deceived.

Rev. Betty Thomas

Words of Wisdom: Stop allowing yourselves to be deceived. Distraction and deception are leading us away from the truth of God Word. We must wake up! Discernment is vital in this hour and time. We were created to glorify and worship the ONLY one and true living GOD.

We are searching in everything we do for comfort of the flesh, but we are starving our souls. Our worship should not be about our emotions, but the motion of HIS glory.

Worship is not for man's entertainment but God and God alone. In ALL THAT WE DO, SAY, LISTEN TO and WATCH, it should always honor and point to God. Our worship and relationship to God, is not for show or exalting ourselves and our feelings. It is about honoring God- Our Father in Heaven ( The Great I AM).

Self-comfort is never the key- it is REPENTANCE, bringing us in close communion with God. REPENT, TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS AND TURN TO GOD."PERIOD"

We are to test everything against the Scriptures. Why? Because the enemy disguises, hides and twists the truth just enough to sound right. He mixes and misuses Scripture. He uses the half-truth to cover up the destruction that lies beneath it.

Wake up! All who are sleeping. We are being deceived. Comforting the flesh brings no conviction for the soul. The enemy, our adversary is trying to shift us like wheat. By making us feel good, twisting scripture. Get out of your place of comfort "People of God"- Stand up for Holiness and Righteousness in all things. We are only being deceived by allowing our emotions to lead us rather than the Spirit of God. True worship leads sinners to Repentance and saints to Holiness.

Everything must line up with THE WORD OF GOD! When we are glorifying anything other than God, we are entering into a contract with Satan to pervert the Gospel of Christ. When we do this, we are inviting bondage, instead of freedom, because we are leaving no room for the Spirit.

True worship is not meant for man, but for God. Stop allowing things, people, status, money, music, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and pride, to shape who we are, what we believe and how we act, especially things that are not of Christ. Stop putting on a show for God. He is not pleased. True Worship belongs to God and not to man. It is the Word of God that penetrates the hearts of man and brings repentance. Remember, everything that we do produces fruit in our lives, that either leads to destruction or freedom. Make sure you measure everything up to the Word of God.
