If Possible Deceive the Very Elect

 

If they want to deceive the elect… it wouldn’t feel evil, It would feel close. Jesus didn’t warn us about obvious darkness, He warned about deception so convincing it could almost fool the elect.

That means it will look right, it will sound right, they will use the right words, & post the right verses, & that’s what we’re watching currently. 

It’s suddenly “cool” to say 'Jesus.' Tech leaders talk about agreeing with the teachings of Jesus, government officials sprinkle around Bible language, Hollywood mentions God on stage. Ten years ago, that would’ve shocked people, now it trends,while most believers clap because at least His name is being said. But hear me: if the Enemy wants to deceive the elect, he wouldn’t remove Jesus from culture, he would push a version of Jesus that costs nothing.

A Jesus you can agree with but never obey, you can quote but never bow to, a Jesus who inspires but never confronts, a savior who loves but never judges, a cross with no blood, & a gospel with no repentance.

Paul warned us: "A form of godliness… but denying the power." That means it looks holy, sounds spiritual, but there’s no transformation, no fear of the Lord, & no surrender.

This is the part people don’t want to hear: Deception will not feel far from truth, it will be mere inches away from it!  It will use the same name, language, & the same verses, but it will strip the power. The Early Church didn’t get killed for saying, “We like Jesus’ teachings.” They were killed for declaring, “Jesus is Lord.”

Right now we’re seeing a wave of public admiration for Jesus, but admiration is not repentance, & agreement is not allegiance.

Don’t get swept up just because popular people say His name. Do they preach the cross? Call sin sin? Do they bow to Him as God? Or are they presenting a safe, marketable Jesus? The Last Days deception won’t be anti-Christ at first. It will be almost Christ. And 'almost' is what deceives.

Stay alert, stay grounded in the Word, stay surrendered. Because the most dangerous lie isn’t the one that attacks Jesus, it’s the one that uses His name while deceiving people.
